Lame-O

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

It's lame when ESPN uses video games to illustrate what a football team does. IF THE TEAM IS SO [censored] GREAT AT DOING WHAT YOU'RE KISSING THEIR ASS FOR, SHOW THEM DOING IT IN REAL FOOTAGE.

Also, can anybody give me a good reason why I continue to watch NFL Live? The only reason I can think of right now is that work is incredibly slow at the moment - my project manager pretty much just told me to take the morning off and he'll call me in the afternoon. Also, my hands are too greasy from the potato chips for me to want to touch the remote. Apparently, the same doesn't apply to my keyboard and mouse.

All the networks do this now. ESPN uses both NFL2K5 and Madden 2005.

I also hate it.
The reasons behind it have nothing to do with "getting you closer to the action".
It's all about the advertising.
But you guys are smart. I'm sure you knew that much.

It's okay now. NFL Live is over and Magnus Vermagnussen (sp?) is going to show me why he's the World's Strongest Man. Motorcycle Yoke is up first.

So am I the only one who finds those world's strongest man competitions inexplicably appealing? If I know ones on, and the TV is on, I'm watching it.

You gotta go old school though, to get to the "pureness" of the sport.

Bill Kazmeier (I think that's his name) the announcer dude used to do these events back in the day. Awesome awesome.

My favorites are the "Hmm, wonder how many times Ulf Ulfelsun (from Sweden, natch) can lift this gutted car full of Zimbabweian party girls? Oh, wow, 16 times. That's amazing, but I expected it. Ulf told me he's been training for 12 years for this event by being the tired changer at Henry's Garage"

God I love TWSM. Great show.

I believe it's Magnus Ver Magnussen, but I could be wrong.

There could be a Magnus Von Magnussen and a Magnus Ver Magnussen.
