    The Compendium of Bad

    Here's an awful performance, but hey, I think the impromptu song at the end about the mic not working when it obviously does might be some of their best work. I wouldn't go back to the late '90s if you paid me.

    2008: The Year in Music

    I just won Hot Chip's "Made in the Dark" through a work contest and I'm unimpressed. I don't understand why the critical universe has gone ga-ga over such a boring, unremarkable group.

    WAS ADOLPH HITLER A FULL BLOODED CHEROKEE?

    Actually, my least favorite trend with sports uniforms is how teams moved away from visually appealing colors towards darker combinations for a "tougher" appearance. I used to like the Broncos' uniforms when they were a simple orange and blue, but I think that blood-orange lightning bolt with the midnight blue outfit is pretty awful. Same with Golden State: they had a royal blue and gold combo that was very classic looking, then ditched it--like Denver--for midnight blue/blood orange. What's with that?

    Trebek: Sports for one-hundred. "All of these have uniforms that inexplicably incorporated the color teal." Yes, Jonathan. Jonathan: What are expansion teams from the '90s? Trebek: Correct!

    4,000 dead Americans

    Marney is somehow a dead-serious incarnation of Stephen Colbert's right wing caricature. With a sand-discharging vagina.

    The Board's in a Time Warp

    I'm back to using an older display name and password. I just changed the display name yesterday; therefore I can't redo it for three more days.

    Goal line blitz

    Especially considering we were leading 24-6 at the half. Most of their touchdowns were 60+ yard bombs.

    Team members can now view my stats. Thanks.

    Goal line blitz

    Oof. It's tough to see my player struggle in his very first game (his best play was a 7.5 yd. rush up the gut http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?pbp_id=764649). I'm still new to this, so if there's anything out of whack on my character's stats, let me know ( http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=95639 ). Also, I'm interested in picking up some equipment. What are the team's colors?

    The rookie FB, Rickles Orlando, has now entered free agency.

    The Legend of Zelda

    Yeah, but it needed its own thread just for being the most impressive April Fool's joke I've ever seen. Plus, I was hoping someone would bite.

    2008: The Year in Music

    Sign me up for that one too! Fair warning though: I don't know what to expect, since Dederer, the original guitarist, was for all intents and purposes replaced by the touring guitarist, who was promoted to a full-fledged member. Luckily, the frontman, Ballew, was always the principal songwriter, but lineup shifts usually spell disaster for groups I previously enjoyed. Bump just to note that it's release day for this particular album. You can hear the single, "Mixed-Up SOB" on www.presidentsrock.com (along with other new tracks "Deleter," "Truckstop Butterfly" and "Ghosts are Everywhere" - and none of which I've listened to). The single is, disappointingly, pop-punk (although Ballew for some reason calls it "Cars-y"). Though I remember the lead single for Love Everybody, "Some Postman," was annoyingly radio ready, the rest of the album was solid.

    Juno

    I agree with a lot of the criticisms people have for this but this one is just stupid. People can't love more than one kind of music? Well, I was using that example more to illustrate how hipster-focus tested parts of the movie felt, and that the same forces that homogenize high-profile releases into bland, inoffensive diversions aiming for mass appeal have found a formula that works for the audience of "indie flicks." Though I'm probably reading too far into how disingenuous it was/wasn't. At least I hope I am.

    Dumbest Comment of the Day at TSM

    The Coen Brothers just feel hollow after winning their Oscars. What keeps them awake at night is wondering if they could ever capture the WWE tag titles.

    Juno

    I liked it, but in all honesty I felt like it was market tested to the hipster crowd. For instance, Or substituting quirks for character development, like constantly eating Tic-Tacs and wearing running shorts, a Nietzsche fan taking a vow of silence ("Little Miss Sunshine"), or drinking beer in your tighty-whities while admiring yourself in the mirror ("Squid and the Whale").

    Worst Show You've Ever Been To

    I actually missed the riots because I left Sunday morning with the most horrendous sunburn I ever had to this day. There was a lot of chatter after the event that this is what happens when you give a Woodstock to "a generation that didn't deserve one," but I honestly feel the riots (though not the person-on-person violence or the sexual assaults) were warranted. When you stick people in third-world conditions (no sun cover virtually anywhere during a cloudless heat wave; no emptying of the overflowing porta-potties for FOUR DAYS), then charge $8.00 for a 20oz. bottle of soda (not hyperbole), you kind of have to expect the result. Another time, I also witnessed a lackluster RHCP show. Foo Fighers opened and blew them away. And this was "...Nothing Left to Lose" Fighters and "Californication" Peppers, where the former was on the decline and the latter was supposed to be "better than ever." That made it more surprising.

    Pizza in NYC

    Update: I recently moved to Jersey City and it is amazing how bad pizza can get just by crossing the Hudson.

    Does Woodstock '99 count? Like, all of it?

    NFL Offseason Thread

    There's a reason the head ref wasn't watching the lineman. He came extremely close to calling a grasp-and-control sack. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football..._manning-1.html

    NFL Offseason Thread

    Random thought: I know everything's up in the air with Washington right now, but next season might be a good time to be a 'Skins fan. Both Giants Super Bowl victories were followed by Washington championships.

    Superbowl XLII

    Breaking news: man with rifle and 200 rounds of ammo planned on opening fire at Super Bowl, but changed his mind. http://sports.aol.com/nfl/story/_a/man-pla...207203809990001

    So, are the 1972 Miami Dolphins really the greatest team ever?

    A-swing and a-miss.

    Superbowl XLII

    I think Washington is really into Fassel, for reasons I can't comprehend. As for the Super Bowl, the Onion's Sports Page is weighing in: "Patriots' Season Perfect for Rest of Nation" http://www.theonion.com/content/news/patri...erfect_for_rest

    Superbowl XLII

    News: Washington didn't offer the job to Steve Spagnuolo. He has signed a three-year extention with the Giants that will make him the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the league.
