K-Powers

Much like Kenny Powers I was slow to get posting today due to banging your sister on the Great Wall

Last night I was over at Uji’s house, also known as 1994 due to it’s conspicuous lack of the internet, probably the main reason that he never posts shit anymore and for some reason he gets ESPN the magazine.  Well, I picked it up, probably because I was high and there in the front cover is a Kenny Powers K-Swiss add.  I read the add, doesn’t sound anything like Kenny Powers, completely edited and the toss it down in disgust thinking it’s another ESPN cross promotional bullshit, until of course I see this video on Funny or Die.

This is what advertising should be, and what it is in Europe and Japan on occasion.  This is the show, in all its genius and glory made into a commercial, this is Kenny Powers.  And it’s perfect for K-Swiss, since no real athlete would ever where them, why not get a pretend athlete to endorse them.

I’ve thought a lot about the future of television, what are stations going to do when literally no one watches commercials because everyone has a DVR?  Soccer has had this situation forever due to the running clock, so what do they do, they cover everything and everyone with adds of course.  So here we have the perfect combo, there is no reason that this scene couldn’t have fit perfectly into an episode of Eastbound and Down, this could be the new advertising.  Since this is my sports blog, I don’t really want to get into advertising very much, but I love this creative product placement, not that ham-fisted “I’m eating my delicious Subway breakfast shit” that they do on Chuck.  I also like that the Great Wall of China and a cemetery carry the same level of import when discussing awesome places to fuck hot chicks, thanks K-Powers!

Special Sunday Audacity

I don’t usually write over the weekend because I’m so tuckered out from giving your mom just what she needs, but this is a special day so get on the special bus and head to awesome town with me.

First, we want welcome Ale to the end of the bench, he’s first post is the Adam Morrison towel waving goodness that we expect from the bench players of DNP-CD, make sure to check it out, it should be right below this one or go to http://dnp-cd.blogspot.com/2010/08/winning-and-losing.html

Also, Mitch keeps saying he’s going to have something up this weekend, although I see no evidence of it so far, but we an only hope.  I think once he starts writing we will get a government diversity grant for being like 60% Hispanic, 35% Asian and lots of people think I’m Jewish so we’ll go 25% on that front.

But that’s not what we’re here for, we’re here to hype the newest sports podcast to hit the web.  Sklarbro Country by the Sklar brothers.  If any of you remember Cheap Seats from when ESPN Classics was a good station or listen to Rome now and again you will definitely know Randy and Jason.  And the podcast is just what you would expect, the perfect combo of their radio stylings from Rome mixed with their standup and of course Indie rock.

Check it out if just for the great Jerry Jones impression and A’Mare Jewish coming out of the pantry talk.  A solid first offering that I personally hope stays great and is definitely going to being adding it to my podcast schedule.

Audacity Number 3? I already can’t remember

On The DL Podcast

One of my favorite daily or almost daily podcasts done by Dan Levy who also writes at a couple of different places.  It’s pretty much straight forward news with some good interviews and a little bit of Philly bias.  No guests this week but a great line about T.O. and OchoCinco and generally a good week to test the waters with this podcast.

House of Punte

Another one of my favorites, although just a weekly podcast it’s done by Josh Zerkle who writes With Leather and got his start over at KSK.  Josh and Ryan do a great job mixing humor with some serious discussion of sports and plenty of those good rape jokes we all love.  What really makes it is With Leather’s contributor The Real Shaky who is a complete turd in every way.  Wait to the end of the podcast for the harmonica battle, it sums it all up.

Filmdrunk Frotcast

Not a sports podcast but I love it so you have to hear about it here.  I wrote most of the first half of this post while listening to Vince tear a new nerdhole in Olivia Munn’s new book, which is awesome.  I have to say that I’ve never thought she was hot and always thought she was a pandering bitch and was the reason that I gave up on the G4 and attack of the show, which actually used to be interesting.  If you like my sense of humor, which you must if you read this crap, check out Vince over at film drunk because he’s pretty much a less funny me.

The Tony Kornheiser Show

I know that this isn’t really a podcast, but I listen to it in podcast form and I love Tony and he’s been off for a week so here it is.  Tony has come back this week spitting hot fire as they say after taking a typical Mr. Tony anti sports week off.  Only he would take a vacation during the LeBron fiasco and for that reason I salute him.  His had Aldridge on this week, who is fine, but no Super G,  but has made up for it with some awesome Death Star Rants against the cable company, the power company, and Chris Paul.
