Wow, what an impressive run! From 5th seed wildcard to Superbowl 42 Champions, knocking off Tampa Bay, the Dallas Cowboys on their own turf, the Green Bay Packers at home on the very frozen tundra of Lambeau Field and abpruptly ending the New England Patriots “perfect season”, all in all an amazing accomplishment. Some say it was only justice that New Enland lost due to their spygate episode. I always say, “May the Best Team Win”.
Way to go Eli Manning, your big brother should be proud. It’s a good ending to the 2007 football season…even though I’m a Packers fan!

The New York Giants win over the Dallas Cowboys advances them to the NFC championship game which will be hosted on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Old Man Winter is forecast to participate with game time temperatures near “4″ degrees (a coincidence perhaps?) in what some are already referring to as the mini Ice Bowl. No smack talk from this Packers fan. May the best team win and advance to Superbowl XVII (that’s 42 for you roman numerally challenged folks).

On Sunday November 5th, we were all watching the big match-up between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots that was touted as Superbowl 42 and a half, when after one play I heard a distinct digital skipping sound of of background crowd noise over my high definition home theater system right before a Randy Moss catch. It was quite obvious that the sound was either a digital broadcast problem or as the Patriots alleged, that the Colts cheated by piping crowd noise into the stadium in an attempt distract their opponent. Apparently it didn’t work so well because Moss caught the ball and the Patriots won the game.  The scheme was revealed after the source of the sound skipped or hiccuped. We’ve seen similar tactics used in the past by the Vikings in the Roller Dome. You’d never have that kind of problem at Lambeau field in Green Bay. Come on Colts fans, make your own noise!

Listen for yourself to see if you can detect the skipping sound.

Every once in a while, rare comic genius emerges from the out of nowhere to bless us with much needed side splitting laughs in the form of a great jokster or in this case a master comic capable of super human powers of “impersonationizing“. For those of you living on the dark side of the moon, we’re talking about the upcoming TBS late night show “Frank TV” starring the incredile comic impersonations of Frank Caliendo (MADtv), who can instantly transform into the likeness of George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Robert DiNiro, Al Pacino, Richard Dryfuss, Sean Connery, Dr. Phil, Jack Nicholson, Robin Williams, David Letterman, Jeff Goldblum, Charles Barkley and let’s not forget our favorite impression of John Madden.

Check out his website for video clips and teasers that are sure to make you laugh.
So grab a beer, belly up to your bar, check the TBS schedule for your area and tune into Frank TV on TBS Late Night, November 20th 11/10c.
While it’s funny, he’s better suited for standup comedy that his own TV series.
The show is a bit repetitive and probably won’t be long lived.
