The Pro Bowl....only for real stars


Okay, so the point of this rant is to trash Vince Young's no-talent ass. But first, just to clarify, the Pro Bowl is utterly pointless. When is the NFL going to start making this an honorary award. The real Pro Bowlers don't even show up to play anyways....which brings me to my real point. Why oh why is Vince Young a Pro Bowler? I could literally go on and on about how Vince Young is terrible and how he is completely overrated, but I really don't feel like typing for the next 2 hours. Suffice to say, I'll make one point, and then let you make up your own mind.

Okay, one thing you must know about the Pro Bowl is that each Defense is only allowed to play a basic Cover 2 or Cover 3 set and they are not allowed to blitz during the entire game. In other words, the game is set up for the Offense to be as productive as possible. I mean, anyone who has ever played Madden knows that if you run the same defensive set and aren't allowed to blitz, even my little brother could throw TDs in the Pro Bowl. (FYI: I don't have a little brother, which would seemingly make it impossible for him to throw TDs, but yet somehow, he still could, because it's just that easy.)

So, knowing what we now know, one would think that professional QBs should have no problem dropping back in the pocket, reading the D, avoid the 'non' blitz and deliver an accurate strike to the receiver, ya know, being Pro Bowlers and all. So why is it that Vince Young constantly throws INTs during every Pro Bowl. He isn't the biggest bust ever....he's just so terrible that he throws INTs to guys who aren't even allowed to really try on defense.

Point Being....Vince Young, why are you so....you?

What's the freakin' deal with Hardee's?



So what's the deal with Hardee's the last 5 years or so? They make these commercials that are just horrible....i mean, isn't the point of advertising to actually persuade viewers, readers or listeners to take some action or show some interest in a product? Then why in the world would I, or anyone for that matter, be willing to eat anything from Hardee's after watching any of their numerous commercials?

Okay, so if you can't remember one of the commercials, or the picture of the 2500 calorie, chili-cheeseburger above doesn't ring a bell, here's what I'm talking about. It seems that Hardee's is hell-bent on pissing me off and that's because I can't stand it when directors purposely place microphones as close to the actors mouths as possible, so that we are 'treated' to the delightful sound of smacking and chewing and swallowing. Ummmmmmm........delicious! Not to mention at the very end of every single ad, they end up dropping the product into camera view, allowing for us to see all the fat and whatnot dripping down off of the food.
I mean, I enjoy chili and cheese and fries and tots.....just not all mixed up together. Which reminds me....remember the famous mixed bowls from KFC? Don't get me started on KFC (once Kt ordered mashed potatoes from the drive-thru and they didn't even give her a fork!) I think Patton sums it up best!

Point being....if Hardee's wants me to eat their food, stop making terrible commercials that contain horrendous smacking noise and stop dropping your food from the sky at the end of the ad.
