This Commercial Break Brought To You By Stupidity

Like most Americans, when I’m forced to flip on the television I watch just two things – sports and commercials. When I tune in to sports I learn about kids’ games with impossibly complicated rules and what the world looks like from a blimp and how millionaires behave when they take various forms of speed. And when I see the commercials I learn the nuances of modern society and how the power of suggestion can trick tiny human brains and that the engine of American commerce is generally fueled by, well, stupidity.

Taking The Gloves Off

Of course, we can’t … Take the gloves off that is. Like so much of modern life, to do so, to put the genie back in the bottle, is impossible because we can never give back a piece of human comfort or knowledge or technology once we’ve seen it and had it and gotten used to it. So when someone gave us the smartphone that was the end of the in-person conversation, when someone perfects the driverless car we will have even more people asleep at the wheel and now that every football player (except kickers and quarterbacks) wears gloves, we shall never see the naked hand in the NFL again.

Me & Tommy, A Love Story

Tom Brady and I are the same in so, so many ways. For starters, we are both almost universally despised, me because I know everything about, well, almost everything and Tom because he’s really good at sports. Our similarities have created a bond over the years and that relationship has meant a lot to me, and I know he feels the same. Now, as his spirals begin to wobble and his legs start to go, as he begins to fall down in the pocket when defensive tackles threaten his safe space I think it is an appropriate time to capture some heartfelt sentiments.
