I'm Here to (Sing a) Fight (Song for) You Florida Marlins

Not sure if all of you have seen/heard this yet, but Scott Stapp recorded a tribute song to the Florida Marlins, and well ... it's basically everything you'd expect it to be. Personally I agree with Stapp, I want strike outs, base hits, double plays; in that order.

We suck

Nope! Not the Mariners! HCM. Listen... we've been blowing it lately.



Not gonna be time for Andersen Pro Day this year. Sorry.

Also, the weight loss challenge has come and gone, and you ladies probably have been waiting for your pix... well there aren't any. But Matt won. Good job Matt.

Stick around though, cuz Draft Guru Pete has got some big things planned, and I'm sure we'll have some real DYNOMITE! draft blogging.

Thanks for the support.

SLAM! Energy Drink.

I just saw a commercial for yet another energy drink, it was called Slam! What makes this drink stand out is that it's spokesman is .....

Josh Brown!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I don't know what's more pathetic, that Joshy-poo is repping some 3rd-rate energy drink, or the fact that a company thought it would be a good idea to make the kicker on the worst team in the NFL their spokesman.

Here's a link to their website, it looks pretty classy. By the way, I forgot to mention that the other "athletes" that appear on their commercial are Matt Harpring, an aged golfer I've never heard of, and what appears to be a softball player (whether or not she's supposed to be famous was unclear to me).

Anyway, good work Josh. I guess this proves that you made the right call by signing with the Rams.

Avatar

I was speaking with some friends (I can't remember who) about Avatar, James Cameron's new holiday blockbuster. One funny chap made a joke about how it's just a bunch of our Yahoo! Fantasy Football characters (see the sports connection? We're a sports blog!) fighting it out (so if you made the joke take credit... it was funny). It got me thinking about the movie a little bit though.

Seems really familiar (South Park slams aside). I mean two different races/cultures battling it out over ruling a planet. The film itself relies HEAVILY on AMAZING CGI and computer animation. It all seems so familiar...

Where have I seen this before?

Oh... my... god...

DELGO!!!

Jimmy Cameron ripped off Delgo! He saw the market was unfulfilled by last years movie (would be) king... and struck! What a jerk.

The Delgo creator is gonna be kicking himself... I mean this is EXACTLY what would have happened with a marketing budget!!! (I'm assuming the movie will end up making a few hundred mil)

Anyway... Delgo... we know the truth. And we'll never forget!

The Blunder....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!

This guy on Yahoo! Sports already did a good job reporting this, but I had to link to it:

The new Thunder mascot.... he misses all his dunks. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

This kills me!

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Fuck you OKC.

Follow up on Delgo...

The Delgo Experience:

After reporting (or stealing the report off another website) about the tragic failure of the holiday epic, "Delgo", I felt like I owed it to myself to watch this trainwreck myself. Or in the immortal words of one Mike Awesome: this was one party, I was NOT gonna miss!

Luckily, fellow HCMer Erik was also ready to party with Delgo. Here are the photos that document our journey (which was unfortunately on par with the level of excitement experienced in Delgo).




Here's the movie poster. Innocent enough. That's Delgo in the middle voiced by wrestling writer Freddie Prinze, Jr., with his love interest Jennifer Love Hewett on his right. Maybe they were banking on the I Know What You Did Last Summer fanbase to pack the theaters as a chance to see a reunion of sorts. I don't know. Oh, and that other character is Delgo's gay friend Filho, voiced by Chris Kattan. Quite a stretch.











The stage was set for movie magic! And at least one patron was pretty jazzed to say the least!

Maximum Theater Occupancy

Actual Theater Occupancy. (seriously).

Look, I'll spare you any plot details, but just think Star Wars meets Lord of The Rings meets The Snorks meets Fecal Matter.

In actuality, the movie isn't THAT bad. It just isn't anywhere near good. I even chuckled two or three times. I'm sure there are kids out there who would enjoy this. Stupid kids. Looks like a marketing budget gone wrong (or missing).

Sorry, Delgo. At least you've been immortalized on HenryCottosMustache.com

So ya got that going for you... which is nice.

Happy Holidays everyone... even you Delgo.
