So if you’re a fan of Jaguars (the car, not the animal), then you’re probably familiar with its “Good to Be Bad” commercials featuring prominent British actors playing villainous roles and ultimately driving Jaguars at excessive speeds. Believe it or not, Jaguar was criticized for “featuring and encouraging unsafe driving” and for being “socially irresponsible”. Hold on a sec, don’t

You know what’s awesome about DC’s Teen Titans? They’re the super hero group that most people (who aren’t 10 and don’t watch a lot of Cartoon Network) don’t know about. Admittedly, when Robin (of Batman and Robin fame for all you non-comic people…or people who have been living under a rock for the last 30 years) is the most famous member

Have you seen “Cutthroat Island”? If you haven’t, please don’t. You see, “Cutthroat Island” was supposed to be an adventurous romp through the high seas with a badass female pirate. Problem was that badass pirate was played by Geena Davis. Yes, that’s the same Geena Davis from “Thelma & Louise” and “A League of Their Own”. Nothing against Geena Davis, but frankly,

OK, OK, “Set It and Forget It” is actually the “Ronco”, not the Broncos, but you try and rhyme something with Broncos. Go ahead, give it a shot, I’ll wait. Not so easy, right? Anyway, I had one of those Ronco rotisseries, because heck, who doesn’t want automatic rotisserie chicken? Turns out it’s anything but automatic, as the first set

Yesterday, in my article concerning how to fix the Oakland Raiders, I was called out because I accidentally referred to starting quarterback “Derek Carr” as his now washed up brother “David Carr”. So in penance for that, I’m going to take a closer look at “Derek Carr” today and consider what potential he has for 2015. This one is for

What? You don’t know what a Krayt Dragon is? Well, shame on you. Particularly if you’re a Star Wars fan. When Luke Skywalker and C3-PO managed to get jumped by Tusken Raiders on Tatooine looking for a runaway R2-D2, Obi-Wan Kenobi makes a Krayt Dragon sound to scare them off. Don’t remember? Check it out below. At least the theatrical

Happy early Valentine’s Day, everyone! And, apparently, the hot ticket for Valentine’s Day, at least for women who don’t have significant others, or don’t have significant others that they like, is the new “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie. Clearly, I have less than no interest in seeing this movie, but it does serve as an interesting analogy to this whole

So I’ve been picking on the Cleveland Show a lot recently, and mostly because of Cleveland Brown. But I’ve also mentioned Tim the walking, talking Bear. And today, let’s all take a moment to remember poor Tim the Bear. We’ve had many examples of how a Bear can be successful. For instance, Paddington Bear not only did well for himself

Poor Cleveland. I’m actually talking about Cleveland Brown from the Family Guy. He thought he was taking off into stardom by getting his own show, and it totally didn’t work out. Not even a walking talking cartoon bear and his over-“bear”-ing wife (see what I did there?) could save the show. And now he’s back, but in the background. If

Well, I can’t say we were “blindsided” by this. After several years of increasing ineffectiveness, Mr. Blindside himself, Michael Oher, is without a team. I have to admit that I have a soft spot for Oher ever since I saw him get drafted in person at the 2009 NFL Draft in New York. I’m sure that everyone has seen him get drafted
