Cheers and Jeers: Jager Bomb Edition

Jager Bomb

1 can Red Bull® energy drink
1 oz Jagermeister® herbal liqueur

Well after an intense college football marathon stretching weeks, we have reached the big time: NFL playoffs. Now personally I'm a little exhausted from watching a game a night for almost two weeks. To get over the hump and regain my focus a little extra juice is need, that juice can come from the most powerful concation ever developed : Jager and Red Bull. For those that are unaware Red Bull is derived from an original formula developed by Thai taxi drivers. Also I think Publius uses it during his various ghost dances against the White Man. Jager is like the ocean: its beautiful but if ever turn your back on it, it will get you. As such strap on your helmets, take a Jager bomb and enjoy the NFL playoffs.

Cheers: V-Tech for suspending Marcus Vick. Vick pulled a Ty Cobb and spiked an opposing teams player in the calf. It was a thug move and anywhere else (well maybe not the NHL) would have arrested for assault. If it wasn't for Marcus' big brother, he would have long since been kicked out.

Jeers: Mark "Limp Balls" May. After picking USC to beat any and all teams of the past 2 centuries including the Bo Jackson techmo bowl team, did May apologize for his horrific pick? Nope. May deftly pivoted to slobbering on Vince Young. Maybe if you figured that out before the game, you deserve to be on tv. But May, who's idea of in depth analysis is berating Lou Holtz, is incapable of picking up trends before they occur.

Cheers: Jon Stewart hosting the Oscars. Stewart who has quickly moved into the "A" list of possible hosts, gives hope to short, sarcastic, funny, Jewish kids to make it big. I just need to learn how to be funny and I then I can share in the dream.

Jeers: Washington v. Tampa. I think of the four playoff games this weekend this one leaves the most to be desired. I mean who is there to root for/against. Chris Simms v. Mark Brunnel? Chucky v. Gibby? Eh. Watching Brady play in cold weather is something I can root about (typically against). Seeing how Eli handles playoff pressures is intriguing. I can't say the same about Washington and Tampa.

Cheers: Bill Simmons. His post on the Rose Bowl was vintage Simmons. Funny. Hyperbolic. Centered around his Bostonitis (I believe its disease that focuses on the suffering of Boston sports fans).
