Alternate Video Preview - Week One

Billy Everyteen — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:51:55 -0000

By now I've well and truly ceded this duty to Scruffy, seeing as I disappeared (I used to be Manteo - see for instance here where I outed Shrug as a rock star) like over a year ago. Damn, it's been a while.

But as the guy who invented the video preview, I'd like to offer this up:

New format - eventually I'll figure out how to embed video again. Meanwhile, I'd just like to point out the lesson here: you may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

Actual quote from the video:

"This epic battle between predator and prey lasted for more than two hours. It could have gone either way until the very last moment. I felt sorry for the buffalo, he fought bravely - but he'd had a good life."

GO HAWKS!

Alternate Uniforms?

There's a lawyer on tv, with a moustache, telling me to call 1-800-LAWYERS. I just may do that.

It's Friday night, I've had a couple beers, and I've been lurking reliably without commenting for the past several months. I haven't filed a video preview in like a year. Thankfully Scruffy has more than made up for that.

My point is, shouldn't the Hawks bring back the old blue-green-silver unis as an alternate? They looked so good. Or is the Blue Man Group look just such good luck that we can't risk it?

Video Preview: Week 7

Billy Everyteen — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 21:26:21 -0000

So I thought, where have all the Vikings gone? You just don't hear about them making any kind of noise these days, whether along the European coasts or in the NFC noise.

Where have the Vikings gone? They've become the Danish. And, clearly, it's a miserable existence: judging by the video evidence I could find, the Danish are gluttons for punishment. Which explains why they'd be willing to play a game at the Q.

The Josh Brown Appreciation Thread

Our favorite Carrie Underwood fan has had kind of a rough start this season, what with instability at the long snapper position and Ryan Plackemeier's Adventures in Holding (TM). But the dude has now hit two game-winning field goals on the road. In the end, he's money.

Josh Brown, I salute you!

Josh! Call me!!

Julian Peterson gets to Grossman again, and - Oh, Julian, what are you doing to him?! For the love of God, Julian, hasn't he suffered enough??

(Random 300-character fact: you'd be surprised just how many cat-humps-teddy-bear videos there are out there. I guess it's like bestiality for furries.)

God with money on the Hawks this week?

Billy Everyteen — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 17:47:13 -0000

Per Sando, so you've probably all seen this already: Shaun says the power of prayer may have healed his foot 4-6 weeks ahead of schedule.

For diplomatic purposes, count me as an agnostic on the power of prayer to affect NFL rushing totals. I do believe, however, in the power of NOT MAKING YOUR DAMN FOOT ANY WORSE. Which is aided by the power of STAYING ON YOUR DAMN CRUTCHES FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.

But if God took the Hawks to beat the spread at Soldier Field, who am I to argue?

Instructional Video for Eli Manning

I believe this was put together to help Eli prepare for his encounters with Darryl Tapp and Julian Peterson on Sunday:

Kaz: Born Again?

Billy Everyteen — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 19:37:52 -0000

Perhaps the good folks of Colorado Springs have cast the devil out of Kaz Matsui, who is "4-for-8 with three walks in three games since being called up" to the great ballpark in the sky.

(By which, I mean Coors Field.)

Dear Kaz,

I write you in spite of years of silence. You've cleaned up, found Jesus: things are good, or so I hear.

K-Rob: The other poison pill?

Billy Everyteen — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 15:00:11 -0000

So the weird war of karma between the Hawks and Vikes takes another twist, as Koren Robinson is picked up for DUI and faces a possible full-season suspension, in light of the suspensions he already served in Seattle.

Deadspin, of course, is having some fun with it too, especially after Joe Theisman's effusive praise on Monday night for K-Rob's rehabilitation efforts. (At least I think that's what the Deadspin piece was about - couldn't really concentrate what with the American Apparel ads on the page.)

I'd just like to take a quiet moment of thanks for Ruskell's focus on players' character. It sounds cheeseball, but then it makes a difference when you don't lose your number one receiver for the season, or, if you're the Bengals, find that half your starting lineup is currently wearing orange and/or stripes (and not the orange and stripes you had intended.)

So, yeah. K-Rob! Now here's hoping Nate Burlson stays well away from the water this year.

Mets viewing party at Tonic - 8/15

Billy Everyteen — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 21:02:17 -0000

So I don't know if any of y'all are thinking of turning up for this thing, but it sounds like it could be a laugh. Or it could be two thousand sweaty frat boys stuffed inside a midtown bar watching the Mets get shut out by John Leiber.

But life is what you make of it, and cheap beer is cheap beer. I'm thinking of going - anyone else?
