  1. Do you do improv? Thats my shit. Its why I moved to LA...
  2. There are some funny jokes in there... the one about Jesus,and "He hits harder than I do" is funny. You gotta stop swaying though. You gotta be more comfortable up there, too. As far as nervous energy goes, Mitch Hedberg was a fluke. Remember, you're a story teller, ultimately, so try and thread your jokes together. Also, avoid cliches, like "So, local sports team" or the "premature e___ation" stuff. I would disagree with the "drink 100 redbulls" advice, I think your delivery could work slow if your timing was better tuned. Anyway, just watch a ton of standup, it'll come.
  3. I'm a stand-up, but I've been doing a ton more writing lately.
  4. Ever is a very long time, so I'm inclined to say yes. If baseball swings back to a speed game, then someone could carve out that niche'. There have been people in college lately who competed at the Division 1 level in multiple sports. Jordan Kent at the University of Oregon played Basketball, Football and Track. Trindon Holliday at LSU plays football and runs track. Samardzija at Notre Dame with baseball and football. Dennis Dixon with baseball and football (though he didnt play in college, he was still drafted high.) What's the next FCS school to make the jump to FBS in football?
  5. I want to live in a world where football teams from years apart are not hypothetically compared. Well, in asking the question, I wasn't doing the ESPN "WHO'S NUMBER ONE!?!?" thing. The question could have just as easily been phrased "Could a football team full of athletes from the 70s compete today?"
  6. 1906 Chicago Cubs, pretty clearly. They had the best win/loss record over a multi-year span as well, so they weren't a fluke team. Here's one. Where should MLB expand next? Portland, Oregon! And it's not just because I'm from there. It's the largest city in the United States with only one sports team, and it rains less during the baseball season than several current MLB cities. As the Trail Blazers have shown, theres an extremely loyal fanbase if you give them a decent product. Here's a question. If you took a time machine, and transported the 1972 Dolphins to today, could they beat the 2007 Dolphins?
  7. I'm with you... I'm up to two so far. The first time I saw it there were only about 15 people in the theater, and one of them was Dane Cook. Anyway, I don't really see how someone can like movies, and not like There Will Be Blood. Its epic.
  8. The biggest difference is the size between the two though, IMO. I'd compare McFadden more to Reggie Bush at the moment than to Peterson. Reggie also was an insane talent coming out of the draft with a solid college career though obviously not at the level of McFadden. At the Combine, AP was listed at 6'2" and 217 lbs. Here is how McFadden compares in terms of size... 6'2" and 205 lbs. (ESPN, Arkansas, Yahoo) Here are somewhat comparable players size wise in terms of what they weighed at the NFL Combine Chris Barnes: 6'1" and 209 lbs. Leonard Henry: 6'1" and 206 lbs. Lamar Gordon: 6'1" and 214 lbs. Thunder Collins: 6'2" and 190 lbs. Derek Watson: 6'1" and 212 lbs. Rod Malone: 6'1" and 216 lbs. Courtlandt Florence: 6'1" and 205 lbs. Darnell Stephens: 6'2" and 195 lbs. Ciatrick Fason: 6'1" and 207 lbs. Jerad Estus: 6'1" and 208 lbs. Demetris Summers: 6'1" and 207 lbs. The thing is that if McFadden comes in standing at 6'2" he'll have to put on a lot of weight to overcome his slight frame and adjust for the NFL. All of the solid players at 6'1" or 6'2" tended to weigh above 215 lbs or so at the Combine. Thunder Collins!? Somebody sign that guy!
  9. Cause hes never been in a Mega Classic. He has now.
  10. This dude is trying HARD to look like Gosling in Half Nelson
  11. Just gotta jump in here for a second and point out that this is because there are more white suburban males than black people. If I eat a hot dog, and a hundred Mexicans eat a hot dog, too, it doesn't mean I didn't eat a hot dog. I live in South Central. The Hip Hop culture is celebrated, practiced and preached far more than when I lived in Beaverton, Oregon. I think wholesale blame of music is stupid. Cultural scapegoating makes me furious. Ignoring the power of music, and claiming it has no effect, is naive, though.
  12. When we lost A-Rod, I thought it marked a new direction for the team, and I was excited about it because it was... well, new, I guess. Now that we have him, resigned Jorge and The Hammer of God for a bunch of money, it's clear that isn't the case. I'd be excited either way. Isn't that what a fan has to do, sometimes? Find the silver lining and convince himself the rest of the cloud is silver too?
  13. He's been one of my favorite players since he was at Miami. I've been hearing all sorts of stuff about this situation, I'm not sure how much of it is true. I DO know his house was robbed a week ago, but noone was home. I heard that a butcher's knife was left on his bed. I also heard that, during this most recent robbery, the phone lines were cut, and nothing was taken from the house. These type of things are usually shocking, and nothing more, but this is really depressing.
  14. If Santana is willing to sign an extension, trade Joba AND Hughes. Hughes might be Santana, if he's lucky, whereas Santana is Santana. Its that simple. Hughes could end up being as good as Santana. Santana IS Santana.
  15. It's being reported on ESPN and Mike and Mike in the Morning that Sean Taylor has died from his gunshot wound to the leg.
  16. This Oregon/UCLA game is death. Absolute death. Went to High School with Cody Kempt. Poor kid.
  17. And that's a bad thing? While I know in past years, it hasn't been evident, these guys are Football players, not "Entertainers". For a while, I think the two have been synonymous, but they really aren't, and while I do enjoy watching some T.O. or Ocho Cinco, the fact remains that this is their job. And it's not necessarily the fault of the players, I mean this is now an era where people are penalized for simple celebrations. So it's no wonder why these guys just say fuck it now, and go out there and do their job. Which is exactly what the Patriots do. They go out there and do their job, and they do it better then anyone else on most occasions. I don't see how they should be faulted for that. I think it was said earlier, but "entertainer" and "personality" are two different things. The Patriots' only personality is "fuck you" which is GREAT for Patriot fans, but you're not going to win too many people outside that circle with it. The Patriots are the Nazis of the NFL. The Hoody is Hitler. Randy Moss is France. Adalius Thomas is Henry Ford.
  18. He's not mine. I voted for Kudos. Kodos. And theres really a baseball player named Lance Broadway? First Boof Bonser and now this? I love baseball. EDIT: Oh my God, he looks like THIS too This guy isn't real. What's happening?
  19. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges vs. Jeff Bridges vs. Todd Bridges.
  20. Just for Vitamin X my large ass! nogoodnic goes to Portland State and I'm an alum. Go Vikings!
  21. Seriously. Its frustrating to watch. This is season three, right? He isn't 18 anymore.
  22. I want to kiss you.
  23. Oh come in, there don't have to be any deep motives for Kelly talking smack. She was just talking smack. She even said she was talking smack. Its just a fun thing.
  24. This, I think, has some truth to it.
