TC the Terrible

Per my boss in today’s staff meeting.

The “e” in email stands for “evidence.”

In this town we should all have it tattooed on our foreheads. Because God knows none of us want to be held accountable for anything we might have actually said or done.

Ok, I suck at predicting football games.  I’d never have guessed that the Colts defense would be able to put  the lock down on Drew Brees and the Saints like they did last night.  Manning throwing for three touchdowns and appearing in 29 commercials is pretty much a given.  Still that was an old fashioned ass-whopping.

I may be out of touch, but I’m wonder just out irrelevant MTV has become.  They kicked off the reality show craze with the Real Life over ten years ago and it was a phenomenal concept.  Now they’ve drained the pot so dry of ideas that it’s sad.  MTV’s latest attempt to get the attention of teenagers is a bi-sexual dating show.   Plus, they’ve announced Brittney Spears as the opening act of the Video Music Awards.  Both acts seemed to be aimed at attracting teenage boys back to the network that once defined cool.

Spears is yesterday’s news on the music scene.  MTV is hoping that she can bring the sexy back for at least one song, and that it will be good enough to get people talking about the network again.  But here’s a radical concept for the MTV execs.  Why not go back to playing videos 24/7?  The cutting edge videos and new bands are what made the network important to begin with.  It might be time for MTV to go back to being good at what should be their core competency.

The NFL finally starts playing real games tonight.  Thank God, now I have reason to start calling my bookie again.  Too bad that one of the best games of the season is taking place on opening night.  The Colts don't have enough in the tank to take home another trophy, but they've got what it takes to have a hell of a season.  And with all the points that the Saints can put on the board it should be a damn good season for them too.  Of course, the 'Skins are going to suck.  Again.
