Two Quick Rants

First, football analysts are retarded. If I hear one more person say "[player name] is [same player name]", such as Brett Favre is Brett Favre, I'm going to snap. No way, a player is himself? I could have asked a dog for such insight. Also, the dog would be less offensive to my senses. And please, limit the amount of pregame announcers. Wait, does anyone still watch pregame shows anymore?

Second, I have shifted from indifferent to unfavorable about the Steelers. My favorite radio station, which used to play a lot of good classic rock and that one Metallica song, is now basically Steelers Talk radio. If I wanted to know the third-string linebacker's opinion of how the defensive line did ("good", apparently), I'd... actually, I'd never want to know that. Please, Pittsburgh. There's a fine line between loving the Steelers and stalking them, and you crossed it long ago.

At least the X will begin playing Penguins news (in moderation, gasp) in a week. It'll keep them from playing Longview by Green Day 4 times a day at any rate.

Finally, that new Windows commercial with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates is, without hyperbole, the worst commercial I've ever seen. It's advertising the operating system, and focuses on wearing leather shoes. And it's not even funny enough to justify irrelevance.

Sports, right. Um, go Pens.
