Fahrenheit 11/11-In a world where disaster is spelled B-u-s-h, the American citizens must choose who to succeed George W. Bush as the next president. Ethics are forgotten, morals are unheard of, and the only rule is that there are no rules. Contreversial filmmaker Michael Moore brings us this new, eye-opening drama about the mysterious truths about the new presidential nominees. Fahrenheit 11/11 is "Riveting" says Ebert & Roeper. The New York Times describe it as "...the cast, script, and overall make of the film is incredible". The film features:
Al Davis as John McCain-They appear to be the oldest people still alive.
Denzel Washington as Barack Obama-Denzel isn't really a sports figure, but he always seems to be the-first-black-guy-to-[insert past role from movie here]. Fitting.
Danica Patrick as Sarah Palin-At first, it didn't seem like such a bad idea for Danica Patrick to be an IndyCar driver. However, the longer she races, the more people are annoyed of her. Instead of flaunting the fact that she's a woman, she should just concentrate on racing. Remind you of someone?
Bobby Riggs as Joe Biden-Because there can't be anything more awkward than having to seriously debate Sarah Palin. Or play a tennis match against Billy Jean King. Yucky.
Ryan Leaf as George W. Bush-Self explanatory.
Jason Giambi as Bob Barr-Gotta love the moustache.
Vince Young as The Moderator-Let's put it this way: Vince has a lot of questions he needs answerd. I'm going to hell.
All My Rowdy Friends-The graphic, disgusting story of how the Monday Night Football cast ruined the Monday Night Football-watching lives of many. Not for the younger audiences.
Mike Tirico as "Fat Boy Mikey"-'Mikey is the leader of the gang. His almost teddy bear-like appearence lures helpless citizens into his grasp. He is then able to mercilessly eat his victims, all the while making him fatter and fatter.
Tony Kornheiser as "Stupid Tony"-In an already louzy group, Tony, you could say, brings comic relief to the film. Or at least that's what the producers thought. He tries and tries to successfully pull one-liners, but in reality he only makes situations very, very awkward.
Ron Jaworski as "Jaws"-His nickname is misleading--he never uses his teeth (well, that's not true he never shuts up). He is intended to be the muscle in the group, but his lack of intimidation makes him laughable. Kind of like in real life.
The St. Louis Rams-The new comedy has been dubbed "The Funniest Movie Ever Made" by the American Film Institute. I'm sure you can make the connection.
Jim Haslett as Jim Haslett-There is nothing funnier than an awkward character like this.
Tony Siragusa as Scott Linehan-They don't look similar at all, but Siragusa's acting in Spike Lee's 25th Hour is just about as big as a joke as, well...Scott Linehan...?
Tim Robbins as Marc Bulger-Strangely, it was really one-and-done for both of these guys. Robbins was terrific in The Shawshank Redemption, but after that he wasn't really in much. Bulger filled in for Kurt Warner and did very well. For a few years. But, thanks to JIm Haslett, his fortunes could be changing.
Eddie Murphy as Steven Jackson-Eddie Murphy has been able to pull off some pretty ridiculous characters/costumes (Nutty Professor, Norbit, etc.). Well, maybe he hasn't pulled it off, but I would say finding a costume that looks as strange as Steven Jackson is child's play for Eddie Murphy.
That's it. I would include some pictures but I'm way too lazy. Sorry.
The phrase "Yeah, but" is commonly used throughout the sports world, usually meaning something like "At least we didn't screw everything up..." In this post I will talk about the 'Yeah, but's' for the Cowboys/Redskins game.
...maybe the Cowboys losing was a good thing...?
The Cowboys' 24-26 loss to bitter rival Washington hit me very hard. It had to have been the ugliest, worst defense I have seen the Cowboys play in quite a long time. The offense, too, never really seemed to click. In fact, they played so bad that I found myself yelling "YOU DON'T DESERVE TO WIN!" many times during the telecast. So many times, however, that it gets me to think: maybe the Cowboys losing was a good thing.
Think about it. Before their loss, I assume (especially by the way they were playing) they thought they were invincible. After beating two NFC contenders who wouldn't? The fact that they lost to an overlooked Redskins team (at home, nonetheless) could very well serve as a wakeup call. Now the Cowboys know for a fact they are among mortals, and the talks of "This year's version of last year's Pats" should be silenced. A sense of 'Cowboys vs. The World' should be present now, unlike it was before.
Unfortunately, a loss is a loss. And on a team with a lot of big heads, losses can be fatal. I guess only time will tell if the Cowboys' passion--or lack thereof--improves or disproves. One thing is for certain, though: if the Cowboys keep losing, you can go ahead and call OC Jason Garrett head coach.
...at least our coach isn't Lane Kiffen, Scott Linehan, or Jim Haslett (or even Bill Parcells for that matter, but that's another story...)
I'm not saying they're bad coaches. Okay, I might be. Wade better get his act together, though, or he might make this list soon.
...Steve Young's criticism that the Cowboys' lack of a true leader could be the missing puzzle piece in, hopefully, a future Super Bowl-winning team.
Surprisingly, I was very pleased to hear this criticism of the Cowboys--mostly because it is so true. If someone from the Cowboys steps up to be someone like Ray Lewis for the Ravens, they could be more unified as a team. My hope is that Marion Barber steps up to be this guy. He doesn't get enough credit for how good the Cowboys are.
...Tony Romo is still dating Jessica Simpson.
Props.
...after that rough opening schedule, the Cowboys are still 3-1.
Definitely not saying I'm satisfied with a loss here, but 3-1 isn't bad. Not at all. Not to mention the Cowboys' next three games are against Cincinnati, at Arizona, and at St. Louis. For the Cowboys that should be three easy wins, which would make them 6-1. After that, they play at home against Tampa and then in New York against the Giants. If they can win all these games (which is very do-able), than they will be in great shape going into the bye week and then to Washington to hopefully receive some revenge.
...although they lost in real life, the Cowboys never lose with me playing as them on Madden.
Very true. Maybe Jerry Jones should give me a call to be head coach. Championship.
And that's it, folks. If you liked it, didn't like it, etc., feel free to comment.
I am 15 years old and my two all-time favorite teams are the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Athletics. I firmly believe that this is the Cowboys's year (I mean really, Tony Romo knows he can't deal with anymore choking. And for that matter, neither can I). Oakland? Well, at least they still have Billy Beane.
