Dumb Thoughts

If you grew up in the 1980′s or if you watched cartoons with your children or if you were just lonely and you sat in front of the TV watching children’s cartoons while feeding yourself chocolate cookie dough ice cream, which cartoon did you enjoy the most?

Joaquin Phoenix Can’t Walk A Straight Line

What happened to Joaquin Phoenix? He is personally one of my favorite actors but I couldn’t figure him out when he showed up on David Letterman.  David tried to have a good interview but Joaquin seemed a bit spaced out and non-responsive.  Shave the beard please and get back to acting.

Dumb Thoughts

Is Joaquin Phoenix putting on a show on David Letterman or do your think he mixed the wrong pharmaceuticals?  What are your thoughts on the clip?

Brett Favre Hangs Up His Helmet

Brett Favre has retired again.  You either love Brett Favre, or hate Brett Favre… or you are not from America and have no clue who Brett Favre is.  Last year the 3 time MVP retired from the game.  He was still able to play but at age 38 a lot of people felt it was the right time for him, including his beloved Greenbay Packers, to retire.

The Packer’s Foolish Play-Makers

In July of last year, one month before pre-season games began, Favre phoned up the Packers and told them he would like to come back.  Controversy struck and long story short, Favre got traded to the New York Jets.  The Packers, who were one game away from the Super Bowl just the year prior, were tossing their franchise quarterback in the garbage (sorry New Jersey, where the Jets actually play).

Brett Favre’s Impressive Career Stats

Your Thoughts

Do you really believe Brett Favre has retired?  If he makes a comeback next season which team will he end up with?  I’ll post my answer in the comments.

Recently Gryph and I spent quite a bit of time getting him set up on Feedburner.  From what I have researched Feedburner basically does two things.  First it helps notify several different places, including Google, that you have just written a post.  And the second thing it lets one do is add cool looking buttons to their blog so that other people can subscribe to the content.  So Gryph I hope you get some subscribers and many hits soon.

The Pro Bowl Is Risky Business

The three biggest sports in the United States are Basketball, Baseball and Football.  Out of these three it is my opinion that the first two tend to have less injuries than Football.  Because of this it makes since for the first two to have their All Star games in the middle of the season.  It’s not likely that a player from either sport are going to go down for the season due to injury.  Football is another story.  Each year the Pro Bowl is held one week after the Super Bowl.  This makes sense considering the fact that injury is so likely.  I wonder if they should even have a Pro Bowl at all.  Is it really worth the risk of injuring high dollar players?

Change Has Come To The Pro Bowl

Next year change will come to the Pro Bowl in two ways.  First they are moving the game from Honolulu, Hawaii to Miami, Florida.  No big deal there right?  Who really cares where it is played.  I have been to Honolulu and it is nice but it is not some heavenly paradise like some claim it is.  The second change is when the Pro Bowl will be played.  This is ridiculous, are you ready for this?  The game will be held one week before the Super Bowl!  If I was the coach headed to the Super Bowl and I had a play maker going to the Pro Bowl I think I would forbid him to play in it.

Dumb Thoughts

What do you think?  Is it dumb of commissioner Roger Goodell to make a move like this?  Would it be dumb of the players to play in a Pro Bowl, a game that means jack-squat to the season?  Would it be dumb for the coaches heading to the Super Bowl to let their Pro Bowl players participate in that game, especially one week prior to the biggest game of their career?
