Stupid things are funny to me......

Zoolander, Team America, Bears, Beets, and Battlestar Gallactica. These things are so stupid yet genius. These are 5 of the funniest shirts I found online tonight.


The funniest part of this shirt is how sad he looks. A funny idea would be to show him on Saturday the 14th with his wife asking him where he was all night. And he's sitting there in a robe and coffee looking annoyed.


Who would win, an elephant with a knife, or a Giraffe with an ax?


Scissors. All day. Wouldnt "Scissors" be an awesome nick name for a Bad Ass or some movie villian? Or maybe a good name for a stuffed bear.....I dont know.


Probably the least funny of the bunch, but just the pure random-ness of it makes it awesome. I probably would've added a merm.....oh wait......that chick IS a mermaid. Ok, it's complete.


Saving the best for last. I laughed out loud when I saw this one. Makes no sense, yet perfect sense.

Jet Setting the Tone......

Talking trash can be a flip of a coin sometimes. You can talk mess and back it up on the field. Or you can run your mouth and promptly get run off the field....Chad Ochocinco knows a little bit about this. Although some, not to name names, Bill Belicheck, frown upon talking a little trash before a game; it was proven that it can be awesome if executed properly. Not saying that the words from the Jets mouth put on pads and dominated Tom Brady, but the talk leading up to the game gave the Jets an extra shot of life before Sunday nights game. Led by the trash talkin-ist head coach of all time in Rex Ryan, the Jets took care of the Spurs of the NFL 28-21. Not to mention, in New England. By the way, I refuse to make any reference to the New York/Boston rivalry in this post. ESPN has successfully beat the Yankee/Red Sox rivalry down harder than Ike did Tina.
Trash talking is nothing new, Joe Namath did it when he guaranteed a win over Baltimore in '60 something. Belicheck benched Wes Welker for the first few series of Sundays game for his use of creative trash talk, and on the other sideline, Rex Ryan encourages it.

"Jets head coach Rex Ryan held a conference call with New England reporters this morning, and the first question was what his reaction was to cornerback Antonio Cromartie's remarks about Tom Brady.

Ryan said he was unfamiliar with them, and asked media members to fill him in.

"First off, in this country, you're allowed to have opinions, and all that kind of stuff," he responded when told of the remarks. "Obviously, as an organization, we respect Tom Brady, there is no question about it. But hey, is there dislike between us and Brady, and Brady against the Jets? Of course there is.

"Am I going to punish Cromartie for saying something, or whatever? No. I know one thing, we respect New England, but we don't fear them. A comment like that, it's just the fact they're the enemy as we look at them this week."

Ryan was then asked if he felt those remarks crossed the line from fun trash talk to something else.

"Realistically, I'm sure that's basically what it was, just a comment that he made," Ryan said. "Trust me, they're saying a lot worse about me and others here, maybe it just wasn't printed."

A reporter then asked Ryan if he felt players followed his lead and that he incites such remarks. Ryan laughed.

"Yeah, of course," he said. "Maybe they do follow my lead in the fact that in that we can say what's on our mind or whatever. I don't say 'Whatever we do, don't say this, or don't say that.' We're a transparent organization. We let our guys speak and don't try to tell them what to say or what not to say."

Ryan was then asked if there was a risk in making such remarks, because it could make the Jets look bad if they don't win.

"We're going to be watching somebody else play, so it really doesn't matter. You either win or you don't. In this league, if you don't win, it's over. Your season's over," he said. "To think that a comment here or there is going to incite them to play at a greater level or something like that, I don't believe that's true. ... It doesn't matter what would come out of New England's locker room or anybody else's locker room, because you can't be more motivated than we are, and you can't be more motivated than New England is."

Talking trash is a way of burning your boat. Much like soldiers did back in the day by burning their boat before going into war, as in "Theres no turning back". No boat, no bitchin' out and going home. Jets were in this and they committed when they said "Brady is a F-king A--hole" and that they "want him on his back as much as possible". I LOVE IT! Maybe the Pats couldve used a little more of these means of motivation instead of being robots (yes, I understand that the Pats have 4 rings. But thats in the past). Im NOT a Jets fan, but its good to see a team finally back up some good trash talkin'. This NY and Pittsburgh matchup is going to be a doozy.

Tony's take:

AFC Championship
Steelers 24
Jets 17

NFC Championship
Bears 27
Packers 24

Get out your wallets and make the bet.

Top 5 Live Shows of all Time......

Check It.

After recently watching The Muse on Palladia (3rd best channel on TV), I decided to make a list of my top 5 live performances of all time.


5. Motley Crue, WILD SIDE. Lets get this party started right. This is the only video I could find on youtube because the "Man" at Sony took down the original. Why is this on the list? Simple, at the 2 minute mark Tommy Lee and his drums go for a ride. I remember watching this video when I was kid and thinking it was so awesome.....and it still is.



4. Coldplay, YELLOW. Me and the wifey saw this show 2 summers ago. Watching them play this song in particular made me feel more alive than ever. Thats deep, just keepin' it real. Watch this in sweet HD......



3. The Muse, STARLIGHT. This is HD from from the MTV Music Awards. Muse is hands down the best overall band in the business right now, I cant wait to see them. I still laugh every time I think of MTV and "Music". They should rename it BTYWTWHNMUYW4TV (Brainwashing Today's Youth With Trash and We Have No Music Videos Unless You're Watching at 4a.m. TV).




2. Metallica, FUEL. My favorite band of all time, they play flawless live. I saw this same set in Dallas in 1999 at what was then, The Starplex. For free bitches.....



1. Korn, BLIND. For the love of Pete Rose, look at that f'ing crowd. I, for one, have to give the number one spot to any band that has fans shooting roman candles in the air before the biggest mosh pit known to man. I once stood 10 feet from the stage at a Korn show, just sayin'.....




I love lists........

Whatever Heat. Seeing this picture reminds me of the annoying guy at work that has the highest sales every month. You hate him, but he's awesome........

Philly is kicking our ass........

OK, so here we go....I'm about to rant hard on this complete joke of a negotiation with Cliff Lee.

These past 2 days have been a disgrace in Dallas. On Sunday, the Cowboys defense collapsed again to the Eagles at home. Hey Cowboys, its called run defense, learn it. Oh whats that? The offense kept going 3 and out and you got tired during the second half? Figures, it's the same ole song and dance.

And here comes Monday. Mavs have a 20 point lead to the.....uhhhhh.....Milwaukee Bucks only to lose it. Mavs have a gauntlet coming up with Phoenix, Portland, Miami, Orlando, and OKC and this is what they do? Way to go.

And then Monday night we get the worst news of all.......

Lee signs with the Phillies, 5 years at 100 million. Yes, the Phillies. The same team that told him "thanks, but no thanks" last year, is the team that he goes back to. Like the girlfriend that breaks your heart, you go back with your tail tucked between your legs. And spare me all this "he wants to win" bullsh*t. Rather than stick with a team that just left the World Series 5 minutes ago, you go the easy route, Lebron style. This is a move that a Darren Oliver, Trevor Hoffman, Andy Pettite, or some other old fart would make to have a last chance of winning a title. Thats when this is OK but not when you're in your prime. Have a back bone and a competitive spirit and challenge yourself in a smart way. Don't take the escalator when theres a few stairs in the way. My gosh, show a pair!! (of f*cking balls)

If you want a legacy and want to be one of the greatest of all time, which all signs pointed to Lee wanting to be this guy, you play for a team where you make a difference. Take a city somewhere its never been....to the promise land. Prove critics wrong and show that you're human by staying close to home or make a honest decision. Stop making decisions based on money that you'll never spend or making excuses that you want to "win". You can win anywhere, the 2010 Rangers are a good example. This was a chicken shit move to say the least. Lee wasted Texas' time as we watched other solid free agents drive by in the other direction. We wined and dined this guy and he takes off to the ex girlfriend. Real sweet move Lee, thanks for giving me another reason to hate Philadelphia. I hope you freeze your ass off up there and I'll enjoy watching you and the Heat lose this season.

And oh yea, thanks for falling apart in the World Series you bum......... "But Tony, if it wasn't for Lee, you wouldn't have been in the World Series". Save your breath. The Mavericks once made it to the finals too, you know what we call them? Not champions.

The Best Cereal Ranking Blog of All Time.......

Often under appreciated, it's been a part of our lives forever. Im talking about cereal here people, so here's my rank of all time best cereals. You may disagree, but you're probably a cereal snob and only eat Raisin Bran or Wheat Chex....something boring like that. So here we go, in particular order.

1o. Cookie Crisp. You dont hear much about this classic these days. Maybe it's because it's basically chocolate chip cookies in a bowl of milk. Parents must frown upon that these days.







9. Honey Comb. Not only are these delicious, but have you noticed that you can get a HUGE box for a reasonable price. This one is tops in value, but value doesnt taste good. So wear this number 9 spot, Honey Comb.








8. Cinnamon Toast Crunch. The funny thing is that I only like cinnamon on 2 things. Rolls and CTC.










7. Apple Jacks. Go ahead, tell me that they taste anything like apples, you'll be a liar. Nontheless, delecious.










6. Cocoa Puffs. Whats awesome about this? Oh, I dont know, maybe the free chocolate milk you get after 2 bowls. Coo Coo for CoCo Puffs.









5. Fruity Pebbles. The only reason these aren't ranked higher is because once they get soggy, they're hard as hell to catch on the spoon and eat. These are best freshly poured and crispy.








4. Frosted Flakes. Theyyyyy'rrrrrrrre Grrrrrrrreat. But not the greatest. This is about the most "plain" that I'll get on the cereal front.








3. Lucky Charms. "Rubbings Racing". Thats what the leprechaun told Tony the Tiger during this race when he took the 3 spot. It was a close finish. When I was a kid I would eat all the boring parts first and leave the marshmallows until the end.








2. Cap'n Crunch Berries. Sometimes these bad boys are a little rough and rub the inside of your mouth. But the tasty berries even it out.









1. Marshmallow Fruit Loops. You take the wonderfulness of toucan sam, and throw in a bit of Lucky Charms greatness, you get this master piece. I hope the guy who came up with this idea is sitting in a corner office at the Kellogg's headquarters.

Rangers, the Mavs and Cowboys welcome you to their club.....

Series 3-1 in favor of the giants.

As much as I should be happy just to have made it here, I'm raging on the inside and I want to drive to SF and punch someone in the face!! There's been a ton of missed opportunities and with the exception of game 3, we havent even shown up. After taking down the Rays and the Evil Empire in style, we're now struggling against a team of no names that are making themselves known at our expense.

Lets first talk about the media and how they forecasted the series before it began. A majority of them picked Texas because of the offense and the arms. So theres 2 questions to ask yourself based on what we've seen so far:

1. Is the SF pitching really this good? And if so, the media has been "pitching wins championships" for years, so why didnt they see this coming?

or

2. Did the Ranger offense choke with the pressure of the big lights and have they completley forgot how to hit? Was the fact that the media picked them too much for texas

I'll go with a perfect mix of both.... But why is it that it takes a meeting with the Rangers for the giants to start hitting like the all stars?

Secondly, how many f$%king breaks are the giants going to get? I mean really? This is getting ridiculous. The giants fans back home have to be wondering why these wins are coming so easily. Did they sell their soul? Lets go through a list of breaks these clowns have recieved......

1. Game 1. After going 7-0 in the postseason with numbers threatening the greatest post season numbers of all time, Cliff Lee promptly goes and gives up 5 in a game 1 loss.

2. Sanchez's gets his first double of the night with a hit down the right field line that hits the chalk. Posey then gets a blooper over Kinsler to bring in the first run. Oday comes in and opens the flood gates and gives up 11 total runs to a team that didnt score more than 5 in a game all postseason!!!!!

3. Game 2, Kinsler hits a shot to center that goes off TOP of the wall and comes back in. Im still trying to figure that one out. I paid attention in physics class, and that doesnt make sense.

4. Derek Holland comes in with a 2-0 sf lead. Then proceeds to throw 12 out 13 pitches for balls. Walking in 2. Then Lowe (who hasnt thrown all post season) gives up more. The game by this time is out of hand. 9-0 giants. Refer to the no-more-than=5 runs in a postseason game stats above.

5. Game 3. Rangers hitting into 4 double plays that kept the game closer than it shouldve been. We made Uribe and Renteria look like Mike Schmidt and Cal Ripken Jr this series.

6. Game 4. Sanchez snow-cones a definite RBI chance by Francoeur in the 3rd. Dont know how.

7. giants player called safe at first on a could-be double play by texas but the ump blows the call. He doensnt score thanks to a Hamilton play in cf, but it effects the pitch count and makes hunter work.

8. Torres hits a ball down the right field line and off the base making it unplayable for Moreland resulting in a double. Huff then delivers a shot to right field making it 2-0 giants.

9. Shot down the line for Renteria goes off the webbing of Youngs glove at third. Getting a runner on that promptly scores a few plays later.

10. Torres hits a ball to right center that misses being a ground rule double by 2 inches. If it wouldve bounced over, renteria wouldnt have scored.

9. In the 8th, Andrus gets called out at first when he was obviously safe. Ump blowing one earlier in sf's favor, blows another in....well....sf's favor.

10. Our best righty in relief, Agando, goes out with a muscle strain. Done for the post season.

11. Posey goes deep to CF. Hamilton starts a casual jog backward thinking its an easy out, but the ball keeps floating and makes it out of the ballpark. But Francouer jacks one to left the next inning that looks gone. But a magical gust of san francisco wind hits it dies into Ross' glove. Couldve been a huge HR.

12. Not so much a break, but we make a f$%king rookie look like Sandy f$%ing Koufax out there in the WORLD SERIES! Are you telling me that we couldnt get at least one rally together vs. this guy? We let him come into our house and dominate? Unbelievable!!

Yea, Yea, Yea, its great that we made it this far. But dont hit the f$%king brakes just because we made it to the World Series!!! We look like Rookies out there. But not san fran rookies, Texas rookies!!

Another Dallas team bites the dust in extraordinary fashion. After the opportunity to finally give the city of Dallas a team that can actually come through, they collapsed. Theyve failed to show up and have only challenged the giants once in a series where a majority of the national media picked us to win. Im not saying its over and Cliff Lee may go out and get a win tomorrow. But going back to san fran looks dreary. And by the looks on the Rangers faces and the bats, they're done. I would love to congratulate them on a great season, but its just too hard to do that right now. I'd love to be eating Crow next week if we come back and win this thing but it's unlikely.

Lets take a look at the past few season of Dallas sports and how we've collapsed:

2006: Romo botched fg hold in Seattle.
2006: Mavs collapse in the finals after being up 2-0. I could talk about this one all day but Im already pissed enough.
2007: #1 seed Mavs collapse to a golden state #8 seed. I dont think Baron Davis missed a shot in that series.
2007: After sweeping the giants in the regular season, the Cowboys lose to NY in the playoffs after going 13-3.
2008: Mavs first round exit to the Hornets. David West slaps Dirk in the face and we just sit there and take it, Dallas style.
2008: Cowboys play Philly in the play in game for the playoffs. We get crushed 44-6. This after getting beat by Baltimore the week before in the So-Long-Texas Stadium game. Way to pay your respects Cowboys.
2009: Mavs lose in Playoffs to the Denver Thugges. Game 5, carmelo hits a dagger 3 after an obvious foul when we had one to give.
2010: Mavs lose to a lesser Spurs team in the first round by letting a rookie, George Hill, torch us all series. We were the #2 seed losing to a #7 seed.
2010: Cowboys are 1-6 after being a preseason favorite to go to the superbowl.
2010: These Rangers. After beating the 2nd and 3rd best teams in baseball to get to the World Series, we dont even show up vs. the Giants. Done.

Now on to the NBA season. I'm interested in seeing how the Mavs will blow it this year. Im sure by either a first round exit to a team not as good as them, or in the conference finals by getting pummeled.

Its the Dallas way....... But I love my teams, thats why it sucks so much!
