DAILY DOSE: Take Your SexyBack...and Are You Ready for Some Football?

Okay, seriously, Megan-- "one of the best songs you've heard in a long time?" Are you kidding me?

I'm willing to admit that the beat's probably relatively dancable.
I'm willing to admit that the hook's actually realitively not-bad.
But it's so overplayed.
And it's the dumbest catchphrase of the last year.
And it's barely even sung.
AND there are all those dumb parts where the talking guys like, "Take it to the bridge..." "Play the chorus" "Jam a shirmpfork into my eye".

...sigh. I had such faith in you.  Now, I'm just sad. I mean sexyback is the kind of song Ang would like.

Yup. I went there...


Anyway, I know I said that Mondays would be "Football Recap Day", but there's a slight problem-- I haven't watched any football this weekend, other than the PSU/Youngstown State game (though i did catch a bunch of the WVU game on Thursday).  So all I can really comment on are these short tidbits:

1) AJ Wallace is fast.
2) That Slayton kid is incredible
3) It's fun when Pitt loses to the 9th best Big 11 Ten team.
4) It's even more fun when the Notre Dame bandwagon goes up in Maize and Blue flames. Yes, it's true: I hate Jabba the Weis and his sex slave Brady Quinn more than I hate Michigan. Chew on that, friends.
5) PSU's playcalling is beyond atrocious. tOSU is going to spank them. ...sigh (again)...
6) The NFL is kind of topsy-turvy so far, isn't it?  I hope the Stillers sack up tonight.

Can anyone out there step up and catch me up on all the early-season action I'm missing? Being a grownup sucks...

My NCAA Top 5:
1) Ohio State
2) West Virginia
3) USC
4) Auburn
5) Michigan/Louisville (i don't expect either of these to last).

be good to each other, and Here We Go Stillers!

Song of the Day
"
Far Away"
Nickleback

No kidding. I hate Nickelback. I've hated every one of their recent releases (they've released like, what, 19 tracks from their latest albumn?), ESPECIALLY that "Photograph" song. But I'll be damned if this song isn't catch, pretty, and sweet. I'll take it. And yes, I recognize fully the inherrent irony of chastizing Megan for liking SexyBack, and then chosing a Nickelback song as Song of the Day. Sometimes you just can't help what ends up stuck in your head when you wake. Irony is a harsh mistress. Ah well.

Link of the Day
umm...the Interweb is the devil.
