So I was noticing the other day that Levi's has some strange commercials. The one that I saw the other day was the one that inspired this line of thinking. Here is that particular spot:
Anyway just watching me made me wonder why it is that we even think about such things. I think it has a little bit to do with our Jackass style obsession with things. We like to see people do things that are crazy and especially guys do things that could cause them pain in particular in a specific area. I don't know why, but that seems to be the deal.
Anyway, I know the idea behind this is that "not everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time." Good way to portray that I suppose. It is the American way to be different and to be individuals in everything that we do. My question I guess is if this is always the best thing to do? I don't know, but I thought I would ask, you know? Peace and Love y'all.

The Big Game
So it was Cowboys and Giants last night on Sunday Night Football. To be honest it was a really good game, especially since the Cowboys won. The Giants were 11-2 on the season going in to the game last night which was the best record in the conference and the top spot for the playoffs. The Cowboys on the other hand were 8-5 and barely holding on to the sixth and final spot in the NFC playoffs. Just a few weeks ago, these teams met in New York and the Giants blasted the Cowboys 35-14. This week was different though.
This week what happened was that the Giants came to Texas Stadium and ran into a defense that was playing great. The offense of the Cowboys played good as well scoring three touchdowns and winning 20-8. The D sacked Manning 7 times and had two interceptions along the way. It was a great game for Cowboy fans. It helped to improve their playoff standing and brought the Giants down to a tie for the top spot.
The biggest story though had very little to do with the actual game that was played. It had more to do with the other "game" that was going on with the Cowboys in the week leading up to last night. As I'm sure many of you know, there were reports of Terrell Owens expressing his displeasure with some things that were going on. The reports said that he was jealous of starting tight end Jason Witten because Witten had more receptions than him. A source claimed that Owens said Witten and Romo, who are good friends and road roommates, were holding "secret" meetings, excluding him, and drawing up plays that they could use in the games. There was a report as recent as Friday that Owens and Witten had a heated exchange and had to be seperated. All of this was what led up to the game last night.
Then after all is said and done, and the game is played and the Cowboys are victorious, TO claims that everyhing that has been said and reported this past week were all fabrications and made up. That's right, ESPN, The Dallas Morning News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram and various other news organizations got together and created a story and invented sources and blamed it all on TO in an effort it would seem to make him look bad. That right it was all nothing, a smoke screen to take the focus off the game.
Romo however, even though he didn't confirm the reports, didn't deny them either. You were left with the impression that there was something that had happened. Personally I would be more inclined to believe what Romo says due to the fact that TO has a history of this kind of thing with his two previous teams. Regardless of who's side you take, who you choose to believe (and the fans seem to think that Romo is the one to believe as evidenced by the multiple times they booed TO) it was still actually a good game. Peace and Love y'all.

Gotta Be the Shoes
Ok, so I was watching the Texans this afternoon. It was actually a really good game as they were able to pull off a big win over the Titans 13-12. They have won four in a row now, and seem to be finally living up to the expectations that so many people had for them at the beginning of the season.
Anyway, that is not what has me writing this rare Sunday blog. No that would be the news report that came on right before the start of the second half. Here is a video of the report involving President Bush:
Really, after about the 16-17 second mark I'm not sure how interesting this video really is, but at that point it's pretty interesting I think. Now in the Middle East throwing a show at someone is a grave sign of disrespect, and I can understand that really. Still, not really what you are expecting to see coming your way. I'm just reminded of the scene near the end of the first Austin Powers movie.
Beyond that it's just kind of funny to see happen. What would the media have reported had the show clocked him in the noggin? "Well this is just another reason why Bush was unfit to run our country. He can't even dodge a shoe thrown from 25 feet." I do wonder where the Secret Service was in this. I mean if you watch the video it's not like the guy was being that sneaky about it. He got a bit of a start at Bush down the aisle and heaved the shoe. Not like he was sitting and flung it from a seated position and it was hard to tell who was responsible. I guess that they just aren't really expecting to need to be ready for an immediate response to a flying shoe. In the end the President was able to report that the shoe was a size 10. Peace and Love y'all.
