The Saga Continues...

Well you may have heard yet another major mention of the grandiose movie Teen Wolf on Bill Simmons' podcast last week featuring fellow ESPN podcaster (blogger is saying that's not a word but I'm thinking that in the digital age that has to be a word right? I don't know what else you would call someone who does podcasts. A podder perhaps?) Dave Dameshek.

Simmons is apparently going on Dameshek's show this week to discuss some inane things and one of those things is a discussion of 80's movies. Hey, Teen Wolf was released in 1985 so that counts! Well Dameshek mentioned at the end of the podcast that he had in fact done a box score of the final championship game around a year and Simmons acknowledged that he had done the same thing. Now, Dameshek showed his true colors when he insisted that Scott Howard got a true triple double according to his bookeeping, which is impossible and thankfully Simmons called him out on this. Lost a lot of respect for Dameshek on that one (not that I had any since I don't listen to him, but this could all change depending on this podcast this week).

Anyways, here I was yet again, seemingly inches away from superstardom with just one little mention from Simmons on the podcast and he blows me off again (that's what she said). Needless to say, my expectations for this Teen Wolf podcast this week are at an all-time low. I hope I can even enjoy it. Each time I even open the espn.com web page, I hold my breath as I look frantically (because I can't hold my breath and this has been a problem for an entire life. My lung capacity is that of a popped baloon) for any mention of Teen Wolf. Since my first e-mail to Simmons about two months ago, he has mentioned the movie in three articles, two podcasts and one magazine article. You're welcome.

So do I expect any type of gratitude in this new podcast? No, I've learned my lesson. Simmons and I are on thin ice together. I may never fully recover from this experience, but I'll never forget it either. For everything we do makes us stronger. As Kanye West said, "Heard they do anything for a Klondike, Well, I'd do anything for a blonde dyke." And that makes me stronger.

On to the links...

Hmmm...that's not gonna cut it. Pick up the pace you Pacers!!!!

It's Beetles...with an A
Well Davey Jones of those lovable Monkee's is talkin about the Beatles. Glad to see Davey is alive and well. Makes a lot of sense to kill of two of four Beatles and leave this guy around...wow, that was extremely mean. I'm Ok with it. But, as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne told us, the Monkees were a big influence on the Beatles. Great movie.

Turn up the Aperture!
NEW SEGMENT!! As you know, this blog does not support photojournalists or anyone who claims to be one. But after Joel's amazing Superman-like performance the other night when he saved countless lives at his apartment complex, I feel like I need to revive his old segment that wasn't working at all. His old segment focused on putting dumb pictures on here for him, but after doing it once I realized that I couldn't take time away from trying to find Tom's photo, which the Mrs. Thug Mrs. claims doesn't need to take four hours of "research" but I contend that it needs all the time I can give it.

Anyways, this is Joel's new segment. Like the title? Clever, I know. Now I just need to figure out what's going here. We're gonna start with this link but I can't guarantee that this the format we're sticking with. The citizen photojournalism site Scoopt is being shut down. Interesting, since I contend there are no professional photojournalists, they're actually all amateurs. Notice how everybody can take a photo. Not everybody can write, hence why most people just put an X to their name when they're signing into prison. Hmmm...see, that's what I can do here, take jabs at Superman and his profession. Don't worry Superman, you're still a hero in my book.

Hello Mr. Radio
This site did the top 202 hottest WWE Diva phots ever. Here's a taste of what this can offer you...enjoy.

I Me Mine
This segment is dedicated to the other Sean Stevenson's in the world who somehow land in my news alerts/google search. Sweet! There's a ME who is a drummer in a band. Rock out man!! The band is known as "Fake Problems" and they claim to be a unique indie-rock band. I feel like these guys are going nowhere, so Sean, get out while you can! You need to harness your inner-Ringo and find two brilliant songwriters who can propel you to superstardom. Then you can bring celebrity and greatness to our name

Mrs. Thug Mrs.
I know you can't see him or hear him, but here's an interview with yer boi Cena for Sports Illustrated...enjoy.

Info for Bo
Dunkin' Donuts is debuting the Waffle Sandwich. Just think of what you're missing right now. Maybe your jersey wouldn't get moved to the back of Pizza Hut if you were still serving new and exciting menu items.

You tube...no, you're a tube
Today's hilarious video comes courtesy of the Err Dizz so as always...enjoy.
