Couple Comments on the Super Bowl

1.  This is the worst matchup possible if you’re a Charger fan, like I am.  The Lombardi trophy is going to be fought for by a Patriot team that has brewed up a pretty nasty rivalry with the Bolts over the past couple of years or a Giant team led by that idiot prima donna Eli Manning who refused to play for San Diego when they drafted him.  Seriously, how many Charger fans are just flipping a coin to see who they want to root against less?  This may be why I’m calling this Super Bowl the First Annual Ron Burgundy “Go F— Yourself, San Diego” Memorial Classic.   (Just so you know what side I’m on, I want to see Eli throw seven picks, cry like a little girl, and have his brother say how disappointed he is  with him.  What a jerk.)

2.  New England 35, New York 17.  Finally, the ‘72 Dolphins will have to shut the heck up.

Let’s Make This Show a Reality

Now that the writer’s strike has pretty much taken all worthwhile scripted TV off the air and left us with an ever-increasing pile of second and third tier reality shows (“Celebrity Apprentice?”  Seriously?), there is one question that absolutely needs to be asked:  Where the hell is “The Gong Show?”

Honestly, if you are going to fill the airwaves with bottom of the barrel reality dreck, why not just go all out and resurrect the show that made an art form out of televised crap?  At least give us something so bad it ends up being awesome.  After all, half of the people on “American Idol” would have totally fit in on the Chuck Barris masterwork, and would have possibly stood a decent chance of winning the first prize check of $121.54 or whatever it was back in the day.  And you know people would tune in.  Heck, considering the most talked about contestant on “Idol’s” first night was that freaky glitter chick that melted down in the lobby, it’s pretty much a given that the show would be a ratings hit.

So somebody bring it back, please.  It’s not like there’s no room on the schedule or anything.

This Doesn’t Make Sense to Me

In case you haven’t been following the tabloids (and if this is the case, pat yourself on the back), apparently football star Reggie Bush is engaged to Paris Hiltonesque gadabout Kim Kardashian (the daughter of O.J.’s buddy, the late Robert Kardashian).  Normally, I wouldn’t give two shakes about this story, but people are openly starting to wonder whether or not this is true love or Kardashian taking her attention whoring to a new level.  It’s gotta be the latter, based on this fact:  Why else would the daughter of Robert Kardashian purposely get romantically involved with a former USC running back?

Okay, so maybe my logic kinda sucks on this one.  Who cares?  I think it’s funny.
