Arnold on MNF
WTF is with Arnold's guest appearance on monday night football last night. He's no longer a celibrity he's a governor. That was completely inappropriate during an election. I'd say I would boycott watching ABC... but I already don't watch it.

2. And what's with the military being involved in every football
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 10:27 AM by rkc3
game these days? Is the Pentagon now an Official Sponsor of the NFL?

I remember as a kid watching the Russians and Chinese with their big parades and hearing the old man complaining about these countries - why such bravado - now we have it in Amerika.

A fucking drill sargent (I swear his teeth were going pop out) starts the game - sickening. Pretty soon the teams will come out goose stepping onto the field.

6. A really good book: "What's My Name Fool" talks about that
sort of thing. Sure surprised me and I don't like sports that much. Read it, it's really an eye opener about sports and military recruiting, downright horrid if you ask me.

14. Thanks for the book suggestion
I will read it. You know the recruiters are in trouble when you see the number of ads hitting the TV these days.

15. You'll like it. I hate sports but this is great.
Talks about Ali and the 1968 Summer Olympics to name a few.

3. got to wonder
Disney sucking up to the governors of the two states they conduct the majority of their business in.

I am sure their motives are as pure as Snow White.

But we all know what she did with those dwarves when the lights went out. :-)

5. Jay Leno Ran His Election Campaign
I still refuse to watch Leno...even reruns...cause he gave Ahnuld the big appearance that launched his campaign. It's hard to calculate the financial and political gain this appearance gave him. Leno can crack boooooosh jokes for the next 25 years and it still won't square with his overt and partisan use of his TV show to play partisan politics.

As a California friend says...the more Ahnuld tries to "pretty up" his image, the more people hate him. Consider this another nail in his political grave. Arevederci, baby...

10. Yup. I thought he was a low talent hack BEFORE that, but his shameless
whoring for Ahnuld means his show is totally over for me.

The funny thing is that Jay wouldn't come right out and ENDORSE Ahnuld but he completely gave him a platform to announce his candidacy and even had him on after the election to celebrate...

demanded that he be allowed on the show.

12. Forget Madden
The run away ego-feast that is Al Michaels has ruined MNF. He ran off every partner he's had. The show now consists of Michael talking, interviewing and analyzing. Once in a while he lets Madden say something.
