After watching Joe Buck's new show on HBO, which Artie Lange officially destroyed like SteveO to Adam Carolla, I noticed that I'm not mad at Brett Favre. In standard Brett Favre fashion he calmly answered all questions and handled himself with class and the typical non-shalance that we've endeared too after his 16 years of service.
Brett said it best when he stated that we can't take away his 16 years in Green Bay, that's some of our friends and families lifetimes, that he our hero. He played with a myraid of injuries that probably still linger to this day. Dislocated finger? People can't stand with dislocated fingers, nevertheless have it thrown back in and run back for the next play. I don't think it's possible to find another player that played harder. He reached that eschelon of greatness where you don't doubt him, ever. Sure he'll throw a few interceptions that seem like he was ripping chrystal meth all night before the game, but it certainly wasn't because of a lack of effort. Bottom line is he wants to play and if his arm heals we'll see him in purple, and a small part of me will probably die, but it's only because the Packers told him to go pound sand. Hard to be angry at your best employee after the boss tells him he isn't welcome back to do his job.
This brings me to Artie Lange. We get it, you don't care. Not about your life, not about people you consider your friends, and certainly not for the general public. Poor Joe Buck is struggling not to cry as you throw f-bombs at him like you're Christian Bale and your director is just waving his penis at you behind your co-star during a shot. I considered a few things Artie Lange contributed to be funny, but not because the word fuck, but because when he isn't either destroyed by illegal substance, or just angry, he can genuinely be funny. It was like watching him on Conan O'Brien, only substract the fact that NBC can censor him. On HBO he was a kid in a candy store, and I can only hope Joe Buck's kids weren't watching their dad trying to improve himself and his wallet on his new venture. Artie: Maybe you should just take it easy so we don't have to place Joe Buck on suicide watch, he seems like a nice guy. You couldn't have been a bigger asshole.
Latest Brewer failure DAVE BUSH. He's been up and down earlier last year, but really seemed to find his consistency. Now he gets shelled for 7 runs in 3 2/3 and after Parra's collapse we're running out of guys to put on the mound and limp through 5 innings. I think I'm going to go sacrifice a goat or something to try to fix the bad juju. Editor's note: Don't have to sacrifice a goat as Prince hits a GRANNY in the 8th, NICE.
He's not that into= I'm not that into this movie. Adult relationships and struggles because nobody's relationship fits into the standard cookie-cutter dream relationship? NO WAY. Thank God it's loaded with stars because romantic comedy requires such keen acting ability. On the plus side Jennifer Anniston seemed to suck less than usual. Scarlett Johansen acts whorish, which is outstanding, but there isn't much else to brag about. It's pretty basic and IMDB's rating of 6.5 is about right. You can watch it and be mildly entertained, but you can find better.
Kobe won the title and should've immediately handed Pau Gasol the MVP trophy. Kobe had some excellent #'s but managed to lead his team in turnovers and finish 6th in FG %. I hate Kobe so I'm biased, but nobody can deny that Gasol is the biggest reason LA won. He defended Howard while still being a crucial cog in the offense, that's just monumental effort from a guy blasted for being soft last year. Now all I can complain about is how little he showers because his game is rock solid. The Magic did piss some games away, but having Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher as 4th and 5th scoring options is a luxury that the Magic just couldn't deal with. Kobe's not Jordan and now I'm done with it until provoked. Anyone who claims he is clearly needs to watch more film of Jordan. Luckily he won't win another title, so I probably won't have to worry about it.
