Notes from the Grammys

Gagonians Deliver Their Leader

Without football, my Sunday lacked TV time, so for shits and giggles (and I got both), I watched the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards and would like to share my notes on the current state of pop culture.

Dear ESPN

Dear ESPN,

Your flagship program has an incredible flaw. This defect has already existed for far too long, it’s time to resolve the dilemma.

Jets at Dolphins: An AFC East Sunday Night Story

NBC dubbed Sunday nights’ AFC East match-up between the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins as Futbol Americano. The Spanish theme was supposedly for Hispanic Heritage Month, but may have been a subtle promotion for some sort of baseball-football Black-Spanish exchange program. Looking for the minority mix up, since baseball has been itching for more black players and there are plenty to be found in the NFL, which could benefit from stealing some soccer fans. Even though NBC showed the score with the team names reading “Jets de Nuevo York” and “Dolphins de Miami”, it doesn’t make Mark Sanchez seem any more Mexican.

Futbol Americano: Mas Interesante de Soccer!

Mike Vick Reality Show

When the going gets tough, the tough get reality.

Fallen star and PETA enemy Michael Vick is trying to be more productive than the average license-plate-producing inmate. He is looking for a reality television deal to follow his life as he tries to salvage his existence once he is released from prison on July 20th.

DVR Has Nothing on Sports

Television hasn’t faced a change like this since the remote control was popularized. Digital Video Recorder (DVR) systems are altering television as we know it. Although the technology was introduced years ago, it hasn’t been until recently that most Americans have some sort of DVR technology for use in their homes. Whether the system is TiVo or Replay TV, whether the system is cable or PC based, the powers to record programs and pause live television are in the hands of the viewer.
