Why I love 30 Rock

I’m so glad 30 Rock is back, I have missed Jack Donaghy’s wisdom something fierce these last few months.  In Thursday night’s episode titled “Today You Are a Man” Jack offered this gem after he finds out when negotiating with Liz Lemon that she has been getting negotiating advice from Jack himself via videos.  

“Jack Donaghy playing with himself. It’s a Jack-off.”  - Jack Donaghy

I mean come on, you don’t really get better then that do you.

From Bill Simmons’s Mail Bag

Got say I’m a huge fan of the Sports Guy - Bill Simmons.  Check out all his good work at Grantland.com.  Here is something from his mailbag column. 

Just bought a pair of Penn State sweatpants for $5 at TJ Maxx. That’s the Sandusky effect!

— J. Sawyer, Sewickley

SG: Will we ever see another human being write the sentence “That’s the Sandusky effect!” in a seemingly positive way? I’m gonna say no.

All That Matty

Inside the mind of the production world’s best loved man-child aka Matty Rodriguez.  It can be a pretty dope place, not for the weak minded.  That means most of America.

Has America's White-Hot Hatred of Horses Killed HBO's Luck? (Yes. Yes It Has.)

Awesome article by Grantland’s Chuck Klosterman about America’s seeming hatred of Equus ferus caballus.

Why Missy Modell is ruining Football in NYC

Just listen to this talentless hack as she fucking brutalizes this Rihanna song and makes Giants fans weep with anger.  God this is awful shit, really just awful.

Doomsday Preppers

Um, this show is awesome.  Highly recommend it if you enjoy guns and idiots.

The Cinnamon Challenge ... by GloZell

Might be the best video I have seen in a long time.  My entire office was on the floor laughing as we watched this idiot debase herself.

Charles Oakley Kept It Real

Oakley was overrated and underrated at the same time. Overrated because he was a rebounder, banger, enforcer during the last era, when scoring was down and games were slower and more physical, so his skills were valuable. It’s a more wide-open game now. If he played today, teams would just go small and force him to guard a perimeter player; he wouldn’t be able to do it, and he wouldn’t be able to make the smaller guy pay on the other end. And he couldn’t shoot threes and stretch defenses like a Charlie Villanueva does, so he’d be essentially useless. We know this because there are no successful power forwards with Oakley’s game right now. They’ve all been drummed out of the league. He’d be a role player at best.

On the other hand, he never got enough credit for basically being the real-life Shaft — the coolest guy in the league, as well as the toughest — which is a point I argue vehemently in my book, and threw in a firsthand story as evidence. You couldn’t have played Rileyball in New York without Oakley. He had to be there as the bouncer in the bar, so to speak. Oakley was so cool that MJ adopted him as his real-life enforcer. What does that tell you? - Bill Simmon
