It almost seems too logical. Not always synched up perfectly, but it’s hard to not get hyped up by the hits on the football field going along with that Nine Inch Nails soundtrack. Modern day gladiators indeed. Thank God football season is almost upon us.

Damn you for making me say what I’m about to say.

There is no god. How do I know? Two words: Faith Hill.

It wasn’t enough that ABC/ESPN polluted the airwaves like Beijing with Pink and the Black Eyed Peas. Apparently NBC felt left out and decided to one-up ABC/ESPN by having Faith Hill sing the theme for Sunday Night Football this season.

This is some bullshit I would expect from Disney but not from NBC. They have a proud past when it comes to sporting theme songs which culminated with the brilliant Roundball Rock.

John Tesh must be rolling in his grave.

This is just another example of the demise of professional sports in America. Domestic violence, dogfighting and making it rain be damned. Let’s not even bring up Ryan Seacrest’s involvement with this season’s Super Bowl.

What’s next? Paula Cole? Celine Dion? Jewel? Do these assclowns realize it’s football? How’s a theme song sung by Faith Hill going to make me ready for some football?

Hill, who’s sold 30 million records worldwide with hits including “This Kiss,” “Breathe” and “Mississippi Girl,” has already recorded the theme songs in New York, altering the lyrics a bit with each one to include the teams playing that week. She shot an accompanying video for the show in Los Angeles.

Think of any lyrics you can plug into those songs that will get you hype like the themes to the NBA on NBC, Fox NFL Sunday and even Hockey Night in Canada? If you do, you’re not only wrong. You’re a jackass. And what’s up with forcing country music down our throats as though we’re getting our foie gras on like ducks. I’m not saying there’s no place for it but it’s as though the networks think people who like country are the only ones who watch football.

Another stupid idea. It seems as though GE has no more interest in bringing good things to life. Only sucking the life out of the few things I still love.

I think Don says it best himself:

“WHEN YOU COME TO THE GAMES…KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PUCK! I’M TELLIN YA I’VE SEEN SOME AWFUL SMACKS, AND ITS ALWAYS A WOMAN, YAPPIN AWAY THERE! LOOK AT THE GAMES!”

How often do we hear that the youth of America are lazy and surly like Teamsters? What do we expect when we treat the geniuses like Burmese political prisoners? How long will we continue to stifle ingenuity?

Hillard Davidson High senior Kyle Garchar pulled off a brilliant stunt and was suspended for his efforts. He tricked over 800 fans of an opposing high school to hold up pieces of paper that spelled out “We Suck” during a football game between Hillard Davidson and Hillard Darby High Schools.

Garchar … said he spent about 20 hours over three days plotting the trick … Garchar, 17, first went to Crew Stadium to take a picture of the seats. Then he created a grid to plan how the message would be spelled out once fans in three sections held up either a black or white piece of construction paper. Directions left on stadium seats instructed fans to check that the number listed on their papers matched their seat numbers. Darby supporters were told the message would read “Go Darby.”

Davidson principal John Bandow didn’t find the prank amusing and suspended him and two accomplices as well as banned them from participating in school activities for a month.

I’m surprised Bandow didn’t stop the game and declare both teams winners. Mercy rules, suspensions for great pranks, etc. We’re slowly turning into surrender monkeys. Free the Kyle Garchar 3!
