Forget Amy Poehler... another OC refrence

Here's the set up.. The OC but with Dallas Cowboy players
The Cast:

  • Tony Romo- Ryan
  • Terrell Owens- Marissa
  • Drew Rosenhaus- Summer
  • Jason Witten- Seth
  • Roy Williams- Taylor
  • Jerry Jones- Volchek
  • Coach Wade Phillips- Sandy Cohen

Tony Romo comes into the limelight of the Dallas Cowboys and quickly finds a great partner in his go to receiver, TO. They seem to work out and have fun together but there's always some drama when it comes to TO. Luckily he has his best friend that looks out for him, and vice versa, Jason Witten. TO also has his go to guy, Drew Rosenhaus, who makes sure TO gets all the attention($) he deserves. Coach Phillips is the nice guy that just wants everyone to get along, especially with his all star QB. Three Seasons go by fast but by the end of the third season a new person is introduced that everyone thinks will play a supporting role, Roy Williams. Roy Williams will always be a number 2 or even 3 to Romo if you count Witten. TO and Jones are buddies and from the way Jones talks about TO you would never think Jones would ever cut TO. But Jones is a shady character and you can never be to sure what he's up to. He cuts ties(contract) with TO and releases him. What does that mean? Now that leaves a brand new star(lett) Roy Williams to fill the void after three seasons with TO. Big shoes to fill because if i remember right, there was no season 5.

Al Davis proves he's Crazier than Jerry Jones

And Jerry Jones is crazy. He might as well sold the old Texas Stadium for what he got Roy Williams for. I like Roy Williams, he's a UT product, but Jerry Jones just gave up way to much for him. Then if that's not enough he gave away a very good defensive player, in Anthony Henry, for Jon Kitna. Many may argue that it's a better move than Brad Johnson. In many ways yes but Jon Kitna was not the answer. I lost complete respect for him when he was on a struggling Detroit team and after another interception instead of even pretending like he cared about his millionth pick of the season, he just put his head down and walked to the bench, BEFORE THE PLAY WAS EVEN OVER. When I think of Jon Kitna, the word quitter comes to mind. A player should never quit on his team, especially a struggling team in a struggling city. The last thing people from Detroit needed to see was their supposed quarterback walk off the field before the play was over.

Ok, quick NFL Draft update time:
  • Detroit will continue to be a horrible team, even with the acquisition of Matthew Stafford. I'm no general manager, but I would have gone the route of the '08 Dolphins and beefed up my line. It doesn't matter how good your quarterback is if you can't protect him.
  • The New York Jets gave up a ton of role players (bench riders) to move to the number 5 spot from Cleveland to get an opportunity they couldn't pass on, Mark Sanchez. Sanchez has a whole year of college football under his belt, so lets hope he got in one year what other pros needed to get in at least three.
  • Al Davis is making a bid for the 2012 Olympics. His track team should be the most elite competitors in the 100 meter dash. Once again Al Davis proves he can pick top football prospects like Ryan knows how to pick girls that aren't blonde, dumb and annoying.(oc) And with the seventh pick in the 2009 NFL draft the Oakland Raiders select....... wait for it.... wait for it..... there's still plenty of good people left on the draft... they need receivers, defensive backs.... who will they choose........ Darrius Heyward-Bey. What? The speediest receiver at the combine but hands like Edward Scissorhands. Most people had him projected as a second or third rounder. Mean while the guy who single handily stole the Heisman from Colt McCoy, Michael Crabtree, hadn't been picked yet.
  • Crabtree was still destined for the bay area, with the 10Th overall pick, San Francisco got a steal and landed a receiver that compares himself to TO, Randy Moss, and Larry Fitzgerald. Now if they could only find somebody that can actually throw to him.
  • Ohio State Star Beanie Wells landed with a team that probably doesn't need him. Wells was a standout in high school at Akron, Ohio and was highly recruited, ultimately landing with Ohio State, where in my opinion he had a decent but not outstanding career.
  • Mr. Irrelevant went to Kicker Ryan Succop out of South Carolina to Kansas City.

I'm Not Ready For the Future

If 17 again is accurate, then if you look like Zac Efron when you're 17, then you will look like Chandler Bing when you are a middle aged man. That's bad news for me because at 17 i looked more like Chandler. I wonder what that means for me.....

All in all though 17 Again was a decent movie if you can look past the fact that Zac Efron ages horribly.  I mean in high school he's a long haired, wide jawed, dancer; but as an adult his chin recedes back to his face, his hair is bananas, and he's CHANDLER.

I give this movie  a 3.5 out of 5 in a scale i just made up right this instance and really has no merit of any kind.

On an unrelated note, Lollapalooza line up due tomorrow. Lets hope it comes out better than coachella.

Amy Poehler Best of just like the last season of the OC

I came to the conclusion last night right after her montage of weekend update, that the SNL best of Amy Poehler was eerily following the footsteps of season 4 of the OC. It had it's moments, you watched it because you needed to see something that had the franchise name on it, but it maybe ran to long and lost steam halfway through. Don't believe me.... you will.

1.Amy Poehler is a funny woman, don't get me wrong. I just don't think she had the enough funny material to make a best of. The OC is a good drama, everyone can attest to that, but without Marissa the drama was lacking in certain areas that it excelled in the previous seasons.

2. Amy Poehler isn't Tina Fey. In the comedy, writing, or looks. P and R is an office rip off and will never top what 30 Rock has become. I mean come on Alec Baldwin, in a show playing a character that's pretty much him in real life. Classic! Taylor is no Marissa. I need not say more.

3. Ratings dropped halfway through the season 4 and the writers knew they had to wrap it up and quickly string together and ending that will leave viewers wanting more. After Weekend update, the highlight of her best of by the way, the writers probably realized that they had no more good materiel left, so they strung together a montage of quirky one liners and funny bits and pieces of random skits and did that until the next commercial break. Probably going through two packs of cigarettes hoping that nobody realized they basically just bailed out on Amy Poehler.

I'm pretty sure there's more similarities but, i couldn't come up with more and the more i compare SNL and the OC the more i sound like a guy that watches way too much TV.

I also have a theory that Ryan changed his name to Ben and moved to south Los Angeles.

I am not a Bill Simmons rip-off

OK. Maybe I am. For those who do not know who Bill Simmons is, then he's a rip-off of me.

Well now that that's said and done, on with my inaugural post. I should clarify what this blog is even about.
Music, media, events. Very broad and not that informative. I will be reviewing random musical acts, TV shows, sports events, concerts, books i never read judged solely on the cover, food from wherever i go, so on and so on.
I will try to update at least once a week, but the fact that i only get Internet(stolen) from one place in the house that's not a promise I can keep. Not that any body's reading this anyway.

editor's note: i don't have an editor, so if there is any grammar errors, wrong punctuations, or anything that just
looks like if it doesn't belong, sorry. I'm a science major not an English major.
