Your mom is Jack Bauer...

Whether we want it or not, Jack is back. That's right, the poor bastard is about to get into his 8th crunk-ass day; another event that will last exactly 24 hours.

Besides that, what else do we know at this point?

• Jack doesn't work for the government anymore. (sigh)
• Kim is still alive and kicking. (sigh)
• Jack is the most bad-ass grampa ever.
• That lady is still the Prez.
• Bubba Gump works at CTU... so does Starbuck. We also get Acevada from The Shield.
• Location change - NYC. You thought the Cloverfield monster was destructive?

What we don't know...

• Will there be any cougars in NYC? Sexy ones not included.
• Who will rise from the dead this year?
• Will Aaron Pierce be the only person other than Jack to be in all 8 seasons?
• Will Soul patch Jesus return in any capacity.
• Will this finally be the last season?
• Will it finally be revealed that Terri never really died, and that she's been the mastermind behind every single plot line?
• Will anyone care?
• Will anyone watch?

Things I Learned in the NFL Week 7

Well, due to the fact I didn't get to watch as much football as I'd like, there was no week 6 blog. So, I'll combine week 6 and 7. Although, it maybe short, as I didn't learn much more than I already knew.

Here we go.

• The Titans didn't play this week, not much different than the week before. (ba dum dum) hey-o! I'm here all night.
• Not sure if Brady is back in true form, or it was just the Titans.
• Somebody at Rolling Stone compared Eric Mangini to a Willy Wonky character. I can't remember which.
• The Jets have landed.
• The Ravens are still my Super Bowl pick.
• Brett Favre makes me want to buy Wranglers.
• A-Rod plays for the Cowboys under the name of Austin.
• The Saints are pretty scary. But, it just seems too good to be true.
• The Chargers and Norv Turner are getting what they deserve. I hate them.
• Watching Dexter was more entertaining to me than watch the Cardinals/Giants. Gotta love that John Lithgow.
• Holy crap! Alex Smith still plays for the 49'er's.
• The Dolphin's can run some damn wildcat.
• The Colt's may go through the regular season undefeated.
• Finally, in a bizarre move, the Redskin's have asked Sherman Helmsley to handle their play calling.

The Return of DJ Bizzy Bee

Although I have never played the popular game 'Guitar Hero', I will sure as hell be playing it's spin off (pun intended), DJ Hero.

Because I've spent half my life playing a stringed instrument, the thought of doing it on a video game never seemed appealing. I have no doubt it's fun as hell, however, I'd rather do stuff that I can't do in real life; like play football, wield a lightsaber, catch ghosts, or be Batman. Wait, I am Batman.













When I first saw the commercial for DJ Hero I jumped off of the couch. I was flooded by memories of trying to scratch records on my mom's stereo with some broken down Radio Shack mixer that my creepy uncle gave me. It was 1988, and sounds of old school rap excited me and still do to this day. That were so many great DJ's back then, including my favorite, DJ Jazzy Jeff. Now, some people associate the Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff with cheeseballs, and while their approach was fun and lighthearted, Jeff's is arguebly the best and most innovative DJ to date.

Don't believe me? Check out this video. Especially at 2:50 and 5:00.



Sadly, most folks just remember Jeff has the guy who always got thrown out the Bank's mansion in Bel-Air.

Growing up in small town North Carolina, mastering the wheels of steel wasn't as easy as getting piano lessons. I had to jimmy rig the home stereo and ruin a few needles before I realized that my talent would never grow if I didn't have a mentor.

So, with regret, I walked away.

Tomorrow is a new day, it's the return on DJ Bizzy Bee. That's right, it's on.

So Long, Captain Lou...

Yesterday brought with it the unfortunate passing of Captain Lou Albano at age 76. For those who are unfamiliar with the Captain, you can read the CNN article here.

Coincidentally, I was listening to Cyndi Lauper when I read the news. Weird...

I've always wanted a good reason to post the following video, and this is as good as any. So long, Captain Lou. As a child of the 80's, I thank you for the memories.

Now, perhaps my favorite one...

Winners and Losers - NFL week 5

Well, we're through the first 5 weeks of the season, and I thought I'd mix it up a little. Instead of the past week, I'm going to look more at what I've learned so far this season.

First off, the biggest surprises:

• Gotta go with the Broncos on this one. I really thought Josh McDaniels might be looking for a new job next year. Not just for losing games, but more so running off Jay Cutler and potentially Brandon Marshall then losing games.
• For the first few weeks I was in denial, but then they beat Dallas and New England I had to eat the proverbial crow. Looking back, the lucky tip in game one may have not been luck after all, but instead the arrival of Johnny 'Good' Karma.
• Second, the Bengals. Yep, 4-1. Hard Knocks that shit.
• Miami is still winning games with the wildcat. Pretty amazing.
• The 49'er's are showing up to play, and playing hard. Welcome back San Francisco.
• Oh yeah, that Brett Farve game against Green Bay. Really didn't think he had it in him.

Disappointments:

• Well, you don't have to look any further than my hometown of Nashville, TN. 13-3 to 0-5, and it's not going to get any easier when they head to Foxboro on Sunday. The window of opportunity in Tennessee has shut and the question is, where do they go from here. First stop - probably a quarterback in the first round of the 2010 draft.
• The Oakland Raiders have actually digressed. How is that even possible?
• The Carolina Panthers. Very similar to the Titans in a way. Too much talent to be losing.
• The Colts are still good. Damn it man.

Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Favre, Brett Farve. NFL Week 4

• The Titans window has shut.
• Jack Del Rio doesn't fuck around. Canceled David Garrard's radio show. That's just awesome.
  
• I respect the Denver Broncos.
• Tony Romo obviously doesn't know who Champ Bailey is.
• Wade Phillips always looks like he's standing in parking lot and can't find his car.
• Jay Cutler is feeling at home in Chicago.
• The Lions winning streak is over.
• Payton Manning just likes fucking with people at this point. He brain has gone plaid. (Spaceballs reference)
• The Seahawks are like the team that plays the Harlem Globetrotters.
• Rush Limbough put in a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams. I put in my bid to pee on the St. Louis Rams.
• Ole gunslinger blew me away. I mean damn.
• Sucked being Aaron Rodgers, they came after him like a Sherman tank.
• The Saints welcomed little Marky Sanchez to the NFL.
• The Panther didn't play this week. How's that different from any other week. (ba dum dump) Take my wife... please.
• Tom Brady is a man - it's not hard.
• Buc rhymes with suc - coincidence? I think not.
• The Texans proved they can play with the big boys by beating the Raiders.
• Eric Mangini can smile - but still lost.
• Bengal fever baby!
• Mike Tomlin sure can motivate a mother fucker. I need a Mike Tomlin of my very own.
• Phillip River's looks so good with a crooked helmet that has grass and mud clumps in it.
