It’s almost as if I’m sitting home alone, on some plaid, overstuffed object while I ‘investigate’ my stories this evening. Perhaps the site should be renamed Clubhouse Couchass.
And hey, I need more people to bookmak the site. Would it freaking kill you? No, not you…the guy next to you…get him to bookmark it. Thanks.
And if your sister has any good ideas on how to spiffy up the joint to start driving real traffic, I’m all ears.
Letterman was tossing the pigskin around to different crew members tonight and stage manager Biff Henderson went down hard after tripping down the stairs to the stage. He made a catch that would make Pierre Garçon weep like a little girl, too.
CBS must have decided not to air the incident, but Dave references it in the above clip. The Daily News says that Biff was treated and released for an unspecified knee injury.
No word on whether or not jay Leno is being questioned for sabotaging the stage when he was at the studio last week. Or Oprah. (nydailynews)
Since YouTube is down as I type, the vid can’t be posted, but will soon enough. Please accept my apologies with this picture of 2010 SI cover model Brooklyn Decker, just announced on Letterman tonight. It’s nice to finally see one winner in her family.
Didn’t he always say he wasn’t gonna remove that thing? Instead, it looks like he bought the book ‘Mole Removal for Dummies’ and then went ahead and cut it out with a chainsaw anyway.
Aww…lighten up. I kid because…well, it’s late and I have nothing better to do. And the guy’s a Super Bowl hero, so he can fade a little lighthearted mockitude. Plus, he went to Purdue and we all know guys who went to Purdue deserve some derision.
Just look at the ecstatic smile on this girl’s face and the way she grabs Shockey’s hand as she leads him to…who knows? Maybe this was a dorm bunny from his time at the ‘U’. You know, she lives on the next floor down in your dorm…she is always game for whatever…your girlfriend lives halfway across campus…she has a big screen TV…she does your homework, and well…she always has good beer like Michelob…she digs undersized white fullbacks…wait, who are we talking about again?
I would make book on the fact that CBS had a ‘no Kardashian’ mandate in place for the entirety of the Super Bowl broadcast. Someone I was with even mentioned how nice it was we weren’t being subjected to the whole sickening reality show creepiness of that particular ‘family’.
Luckily for us all, NFL Network and star-fucker Rich Eisen have no such scruples.
A couple of things spring immediately to mind. First, I personally despise when a WAG describes a player’s success with the pronoun ‘we’. Reggie Bush had a terrific Super Bowl. Kim Kardashian probably only lifted her head from texting Paris Hilton long enough to occasionally ask the score.
Second, if you can stomach the above vid for more than a few seconds, you’ll hear her say how now she has to get back to work. Excuse me? Downsized Chicago CTA employees have to get back to work. Congress has to get back to work. Kim Kardashian has to wake up and noon and beg the E! crew for another couple hours of ‘beauty’ sleep.
I think we all witnessed what very well may go down as the gutsiest play in NFL history. The first onside kick before the 4th quarter ever in the Super Bowl? This is like the Immaculate Reception and the Music City Miracle all rolled into one and pretty much led the Saints to their first Super Bowl victory. However, it would have been damn fun to write the post bashing Payton if they hadn’t gotten it.
But not only is Payton a former Bear (’87 ‘Spare Bears’, thank you very much), but he’s an Eastern Illinois guy and I spent more than a few devilish nights in Charleston once upon a time, so I could never be too hard on the guy.
Oh, to be in Bourbon Street tonight. I’d probably already be in jail.
Let’s face it, pretty much anything with Betty White is guaranteed to be hilarious and an instant classic. That’s not what your girlfriend says.
Honorable mention:
Yahoo! is reporting the spot was actually done this past Tuesday on the sly in New York with Leno sneaking into Dave’s studio is disguise. I guess I’ll cut Leno some slack, which is obviously what he was going for. My explicit approval. Congrats Jay. (yahoo)
Quick: Whose #70 Colts jersey is Dave wearing? Why, frequent pre-deceased Letterman guest Art Donovan’s, of course!
02/08/10 UPDATE: According to commenter ‘Chris’ (whose email address indicates his last name may also be Donovan) and Wikipedia…and every other source on the planet…Art Donovan is alive. Who knew? I promise I didn’t, and I sincerely apologize to Mr. Donovan for the error. I must have been thinking about John Madden.
Here are a few of the ’85 Bears, they of the legendary ‘Super Bowl Shuffle’, effectively crapping on the philanthropic memory of Walter Payton (whose namesake ‘NFL Man of the Year’ trophy was ironically awarded tonight), by letting Boost Mobile exploit them for a few lousy sheckels. This is so pathetic, if I had feelings, it would have brought a tear to my eye.
The 1985 Chicago Bears represent the ultimate in excellence and its members should not have to associate with a ‘D list’ corporation merely for money. ANY one of those guys could still come back to Chicago and make bank simply from that magical season of nearly 25 years ago.
Every one of them should be ashamed.
A couple of weeks ago, after I posted this, I received an email from some advertising douche begging me to post some behind the scenes footage from this video shoot. I didn’t for two reasons. 1. I don’t want to cross a line where I’m shilling for a company just to provide some content and 2. I absolutely knew it was gonna suck donkey balls.
I’ve never really considered Boost Mobile as an alternative to the great Verizon network (has anyone?), but directly because of this ad, I will never be a customer.
Ummm…Merril…dude. You can make all the excuses you want, but every single one of us has worn a jock strap at one time or another, and that ain’t one.
At least if you’re gonna sport the black thong in front of a bevy of playmates and swimsuit models, the least you can do is own it. Step up to the mic and scream at the top of your lungs, ‘Hell yeah, I wore a black thong to play beach flag football with girls! You gotta some kinda problem with that?’
Maybe those concussions have a longer lasting effect that previously thought?
And another thing. Merril buddy, feel free to sue me if I’m wrong, but a 45 year old washed up fullback doesn’t get those kind of abs without a few needles full of HGH. Just sayin’.
