Weekend Roundup

Obviously the web allstar band is the perfect symbol for all star games everywhere

So we come to that terrible weekend at the end of January where the NFL decides to give us a week off of real football and make us watch the pro-bowl while we wait for the Super Bowl still another week away.  All that it really does is remind us that in two weeks there will be no NFL at all, it’s like after you break up with a long term girl friend and then get back together for like a month for some reason before ending it for good.

So then on to the pro-bowl, which I didn’t watch because I’m not an idiot and I don’t get back with ex-girl friends for a month for no reason.  I hear the NFC won by 400 points, since there is no defense allowed and no one has tried since The Meast made Mormon his prison bitch on a fake punt about 5 years ago let’s just move on.

In other no defense, high scoring all start games the NHL came out Sunday night without the only 2 players I care about and made some goalies wish they hadn’t showed up.  They did something that was actually interesting though and picked two captains and then picked teams, which is absolutely how the NBA should do it since that is the ultimate play ground league.  Since the two teams don’t really have names and no one cares about the score I’ll move on.

Pretty sure some people played college basketball too.

Stay tuned later in the week for tons of Super Bowl coverage, and by that I mean me saying over and over again that the Steelers will win until I believe it enough to put all my savings on a +130 moneyline bet and maybe some other stuff too.  Oh, and there will be at least one Benchcast.

E-mail us your questions and comments to benchcast@gmail.com and maybe we’ll answer them on the next benchcast, or not.

Weekend Roundup–Soon to be Something with a Better Name

Here’s the really late Weekend roundup, I was going to hold off until next week for anything new but taking a whole week off seems sorta effed up so here’s some shit.

BYU got crushed again because they totally suck.  For the first time ever (not verified in any way) there are 3 teams from non BCS conferences in the top 10.  I will write a real article about this.  Here’s a picture of the top 25.

And finally although not sports related, but it is awesome beyond awesome, here is a picture of Danzig buying some cat supplies that I found over at Will Leitch's Site

 

I think it’s from http://seriouslyhowgoodarethemisfits.tumblr.com/ which is an awesome site if you love Misfits pics.

I think the US lost some golf thing to some smelly Euros if you are interested in that.

Weekend Roundup

Just cause Burton Cummings rounded up many a weekend I’m sure

So here we are with the weekend roundup coming to you on Wednesday afternoon because my weekends don’t end until Wednesday!  Or because I had tons of work to do on Monday and Tuesday and numerous apology letters to send out, cause that’s how I roll bitches.

The U (Utah not stupid Miami) Crushed another crappy MW team this weekend with out even needing their starting QB, I think it was 412-3 but you might want to check that score.

In other Mountain West news, BYU spent another Saturday getting crushed by a mediocre Florida State team much as they did last year, I think BYU is heading to a 5 loss season, so good for them, it’s not like they needed a great record this year because they are going independent or anything.

In the NFL my Steelers, whom my friends all said on the podcast would be 1-3 at the end of the first 4 weeks used their awesome D to beat the Titans in a strange 11-19 final score game and cause 7 turn overs and the annual Vince Young benching.  Anyone know where that Heisman is?

In other Heisman not winners news Reggie Bush broke his leg in a narrow win over San Fran, 22-25.  A game where I thought Alex Smith finally looked pretty good and if San Fran hadn’t dropped 20 balls in the red zone, should have won by 2 touchdowns.

In the Oreo Dunk Off Final, older brother P. Manning put little Elisha in his place crushing the Giants 38-14, making my declaration after the first week that even though the Giants won they still suck look much better.

And finally the winner of the Crap Bowl, Oakland beats St. Louis 16-14, just in case some one cared.
