Today’s Moment of Zen: The Orange Race

Posted: January 20th, 2010 | Author: Zim | Filed under: Today's Moment of Zen, Uncategorized | No Comments »


Oh My!  It’s the modern version of attack of the body snatchers!!!  Run!  They’ll make you all orange!!!  These two have used the same pod!!!

  • I never knew spray on tan could look so natural!!!
  • Is it just me or is the attack and spread of the Euro-Douche bag movement on the rise???

by Mike Zimmer, Fluff article

They have what they call “spider-sides” in their hair- dos, wear foppish, effeminate clothing, wear “guy-liner”, the American versions typically always have some kind of stream-lined facial hair that sometimes has it’s own “design’.  Yes, the modern douche bag has many forms, but the Euro version is on the move.

The Orange Race is already established in the USA, just look at some of these women who are orange, not tan and exceedingly so.  But now, this other breed just keeps getting more and more influential and keeps mutating.  Just look at the popularity of ‘Jersey Shore’.  Don’t tell me everyone is laughing at them, I am sure there are those out there that would aspire to such douchyness.  Not everyone who admires them has dark enough skin tones either, which means…you guessed it, more Orange People to come in the very near future.  Like body snatchers, I fear they are going to get us all!!!


CBB: Jim Calhoun is taking a fucking leave of absence, will not give a dime back when he does

Posted: January 20th, 2010 | Author: Zim | Filed under: NCAAB, Top 25, Uncategorized | No Comments »


‘Dumbest fuckin’ question I ever heard’.

  • UConn basketball coach Jim Calhoun taking a leave of absence, perhaps due to health reasons again…
  • Don’t ask him why and if you want some advice, just shut up…
  • Don’t expect him to give back a dime of the money he’ll make on leave either.

Let me state for the record that up until last year when Jim Calhoun more or less admitted that basketball recruiting is sometime a place where rules were meant to be bent and either you bend or you are fired, I really, really liked him.  When he admitted in some terms that there were corners that could and were cut, well, it knocked a little luster off the silver shine he built up over the years with me.  Did he tell the truth…well, kind of…and you have to respect him for it…I guess.

It’s also very sad to see him perhaps taking a leave of absence due to his health.  He will take a leave from the ranked Huskies right awayhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX6FDEDbesE.  Let’s hope the coach is back to being his normal Northeaster Asshole self sooner than later.  He’s a college basketball icon and a lifer who you don’t get a lot of bullshit from.  Just remember not to give him any bullshit if you are a reporter.

NFL: Bills making clueless Bungles look good, tap Chan Gailey???

Posted: January 20th, 2010 | Author: Zim | Filed under: NFL, Uncategorized | No Comments »


Re-tread Chan Gailey.  Really Buffalo?

  • Bills prove there are equally horrible management and owners out there as the Bungles with choice of Chan Gailey…
  • Buffalo would have been better off with Perry Fewell, Oh and by the way, didn’t he kind of fit into that Rooney Rule garbage too???
  • I wonder if Gailey will make it past the pre-season for Bills, after all he didn’t last but 5-weeks with KC as offensive coordinator this year.

by Mike Zimmer, Falcons Fan

Wow, Buffalo sucks.  They made a very Bungle like move today and named re-tread Chan Gailey head coach.  Let’s see, how to make a real impact after firing re-tread and proven loser as a head coach Dick Jauron whom they fired in November?  Hmmmmm…hire another re-tread!!!

The Bills managed to pull old Chan off the scrap heap and out of no where after he had previously been mostly unemployed because of issues with sucking.  http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AiMRDQ.xLKlroW4TTT1X8Ok5nYcB?slug=ap-billscoach&prov=ap&type=lgns.  He failed as head coach in Dallas, at Georgia Tech and most recently he got canned by the Kansas City Chiefs 5-weeks into the season where he’d been offensive coordinator.  Sure, he’s been successful in that position in Pittsburgh and Dallas, but he was fired by the Chefs!!!

CBB: Buckeyes starting their run? JW seems to think so.

Evan “Almighty” Turner leads the Buckeye up against the Northworstern Mildcats tonight at Value City Arena in Columbus.

  • Buckeyes set to make their big move in the Big T(elev)en starting tonight with date with Mildcats???
  • What are your thoughts about the Buckeye Cagers??? 
  • Feedback from you the viewer/reader is important to our site!  Comment freely!!! 

by John W. Hoyt

The Buckeye Men’s Basketball Team sits right now at (13-5) on the year and could just now be getting warmed up.  The start to the Big Ten regular season was rough with Evan Turner missing the first 3 games due to a fractured spine.  Their record now stands at (3-3) in the Big Ten despite those missed game though. 

Up next is a home match against a very tough Northwestern (yes, they beat Purdue too) on Tuesday night at 7pm.  After that it is Cream Cake City for the next eight games excepting a visit to Morgantown, WV to play the best that Bob Huggins can buy (warning:  impending loss here). 

My money says that the Bucko’s will finish the Big Ten regular at 22 wins and 9 losses.  I hope they do better, and there are many chances for improvement here with the eb and flow of the last 2+ months.  If they can go (9-4) over their final stretch, a call to the Big Tournament Thingy in March will be inevitable.  Dollars to donuts says we get sent to some far off region while North Carolina and Duke get to play in their parents’ back yard.

What do you think?  Log on in and let us know how you think the Bucko’s will finish the regular season!

Is it just me…… or were Thad Matta and Gargamel from the Smurfs separated at birth? (And yes, Papa Smurf has been writing up the plays with Brainy’s help.  Isn’t that Smurfy?)

FUCKING ROCKS:           

1.)  “Direct From Brooklyn”
Video compilation of They Might Be Giants.  Fuck, if you can make better videos  for $5,000 then do so lazy ass!

2.)  The return of “Burn Notice” on USA Network
If you haven’t caught this show about a spy shut out by the Guv with nothing to his name but vengeance then you should go back to your hand cream and keep cruising “those” websites.

3.)  “Cat’s Cradle” by Kurt Vonnegut
Simply one of the greatest books ever written about the end of the world.  The Calypso Singing Prophet of God is just Icing on the cake.  Busy!  Busy!  Busy!

FUCKING SUCKS:

1.)  “Desperate Housewives”
Put these ancient hags out to pasture (or out of their misery, please).

2.)  West Side of Columbus, Ohio Drivers and snow
Add snow, and the worst drivers in the state and you really get to sucking.  Whether driving for miles with their turn signals on, merging onto the freeways at 5 m.p.h., or blocking and stopping traffic because they missed their turn West Siders really justify the road rage they so dearly love.

3.)  Anything by the Black Eyed Peas
You may think I’m wrong, but down deep you know I’m really not.  Five years from now you will be just as ashamed of that music in your collection as I am to admit that I have the first album by No Doubt in mine. (Editors Note: I still like No Doubt’s Tragic Kingdome and still loves me some Gwen Stefani.  What?)


Babes: BBC News Presenter Kate Silverton

Posted: January 18th, 2010 | Author: Zim | Filed under: Babes, Uncategorized | No Comments »

  • Hot news babe Kate Silverton of the BBC, one reason I don’t mind watching the news here occasionally…
  • Appearances on ‘Top Gear’ also seem to paint her as a cool, hot chick as well.

by Mike Zimmer, Classy

Kate Silverton is what the Brits call a “news presenter” or “news reader”, or as we call them “eye-candy-news-babes”.  Some of these kinds of women have some substance, some absolutely don’t and can’t string 5-words together to save their lives.  But we forgive them because they’re hot.

Kate isn’t amongst that lot.  She’s smart, she’s ambitious, doesn’t seem to be all that vapid and empty…oh and she’s hot too. Read the rest of this entry »


NFL: Are you kidding me? Why? Marvin Lewis Coach of the year? Gahhhh!!!

Posted: January 16th, 2010 | Author: Zim | Filed under: Cincinnati Bengals, NFL, Uncategorized | No Comments »


Marvin Lewis contemplates his days back in high school basketball.

  • The AP’s NFL Coach of the Year is Marvin Lewis?  Are you freakin’ kidding me???  What the hell for???
  • With the play-offs only a week old and his team not among those playing any more games, don’t you think that Lewis’s award was a bit pre-mature???
  • Deconstructing an award winner in this case is EASY, try a (10-15) record when it matters most.

by Mike Zimmer, Falcons fan

How is it a guy that lead a team to a disappointing first round loss in the play-offs and his team lost 4 of 5 down the stretch can be NFL Coach of the Year?  Especially when another guy, Rex Ryan, was doing more with less and beat the guy that won the award twice in 6-days?

That’s right, Rex Ryan to me is a better candidate considering his team is in the Divisional round of the play-offs with a rookie QB and a rag-tag unit on both offense and defense that whipped Lewis’s Bungles twice.  More over, you cannot tell me that Marvin Lewis has done a better job that John Harbaugh of Baltimore or Norv Turner with San Diego.  I think there is a HUGE case to be made for waiting until the play-offs are over to decide who exactly is the coach of the year that’s for sure.

CFB: Orange Bowl (late)

Posted: January 6th, 2010 | Author: Zim | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »



Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (11-2)  vs. Iowa Hawkeyes (10-2)
Time: 8pm  TV: FOX  Line: Iowa (-6)

I don’t know how this one is going to turn out but it will be 17-14 with 8:39 in the 4th Quarter when Iowa picks off the G’Tech QB.

OK, OK, I cheated.  I forgot to post this.  Sue me.

Uh, I thought Iowa would win at the outset and it would be close but a higher score more along the lines of like 31-24.
