FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS, PART أربعة عشرة

SUBLIME

I can see why Aaron Rodgers likes Olivia Munn. She is completely wonderful both on the outside and on the inside. She is funny with a very wry sense of humor at times and slapstick at other times. She is beautiful in both face and body. She is talented both athletically and as an actor (yes, we now have to call actresses actors).

Considering how rough this season has been for Rodgers it was good he had someone he could take a break from all his worries, at least until the conservative haters went after Miss Munn in the middle of the season as a reason for his difficulties.

To his credit, I guess, he didn't address those remarks although Miss Munn did and that backfired. She took my advice and let it go and thankfully it died out. She was the one bright spot in Rodgers' worse season to date.

Behind the Scene Goofinesss

So this Bud's for you Olivia Munn. You who provide a safe haven when things are going bad. You who aren't afraid to take on the haters. You who let us enjoy your frozen assets. You who are pretty and funny at the same time. You who make Aaron Rodgers do silly things in the background of videos. You who can whip a NFL quarterback in martial arts. You who says some of the weirdest things, especially on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. And you who makes me laugh every time I see you on TV. This Bud's For You.

 

This Bud's For You

RIDICULOUS

Did anyone see the special broadcast of Super Bowl I last Friday. I wish I could have a copy of that in my archives to be able to see Vince Lombardi prowling the sidelines along with Bart Starr and Willie Wood at their best and not as feeble old men.

Max McGee's Super Bowl I Touch Down

We could see a hung-over Max McGee (who was Odell Beckham, Jr. before he was even a gleam in father's eye) coming off the bench and catching the first TD in Super Bowl history. I would have named him MVP instead of Starr.

Seeing Jim Taylor's last game as a Packer and it would have been Paul Hornung's too, but he was injured. Seeing Jerry Kramer and Fuzzy Thurston leading the famed Packer Sweep and the Packers defense led by NFL Hall of Famers Wood, Willie Davis, Henry Jordan, Ray Nitschke, Dave Robinson and Herb Adderley.

As great as those images were the presentation by the NFL Network was so off the mark. It was advertised as the broadcast from that time using the NBC radio broadcast of Jim Simpson and George Ratterman because the actual CBS TV broadcast by Jack Whitaker, Ray Scott and Frank Gifford is currently not available.

Actually there is a tape of the first Super Bowl found by someone in his attic in 2005, but it is stuck in legal limbo after being restored by the Paley Center for Media.

Nattering Nabobs of NFL Network

However, as is the sad case these days, they couldn't leave perfection alone. They had to put seven chattering nabobs (Chris Rose (who graduated college in 1993) and analysts Steve Mariucci (who was 12), Steve Wyche (who was 1), Willie McGinest (who wasn't born until 4 years later), Elliot Harrison (who won't give his age and can't be much over 40), Terrell Davis (who beat the Packers in the 1997 Super Bowl - how nice of them to include him), and Daniel Jeremiah (who was born 10 years after the game), on the broadcast to talk over the soundtrack.

In full enclosure Willie Davis, was in-studio, but not on the panel to add commentary. In addition, Jerry Kramer, Fred "The Hammer" Williamson and Len Dawson contributed segments, but were also not on the panel of experts.

What the F*C* does the panel know about the game and its time. Anything they had to say was just heresy, so who the *U*K wanted to hear it. They should have just let Davis, Kramer and Williamson lend commentary. But they didn't.

The powers-that-be ruined it and should show it again as advertised. Letting Jim Simpson call the action and not some group of self-important nimrods who tried to horn in.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
