Daniel chimed in on the Pete Rose admission this week that he did in fact bet on baseball games while manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Daniel called him the dumbest person on the face of the earth and a loathsome human being. He said he must have an oat bag for brains. Daniel thinks if [...]
Super Bowl ads controversy
Posted in Current Events, Sports on February 10, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Daniel made some comments today regarding the Snickers and GM Super Bowl ads and the controversy surrounding them. You can read the Snickers Yahoo news story here and the GM Yahoo news story here. I didn’t even hear about the controversy until his show today so this is news to me.
First the Snickers ad. People [...]
Sports players thanking God, Why?
Posted in Religion, Sports on February 3, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Daniel brought up something that has bothered me for years. Why do people insist on thanking God for winning a game or a player thanking God for having a good game? It’s moronic. If there is a God, I seriously doubt they have NOTHING BETTER TO DO than to manage a sporing event.

Rates this year cost an average of $2.6M for a 30-second spot. Personally, I think the companies placing the ads are getting ripped off. Some of the commercials are funny, however, never have I knowingly purchased a product simply because I saw it on a Super Bowl ad.
Have you? What do you think of the [...]

Daniel mentioned the Monday after the Superbowl is the biggest sick-day of the year and there are more car accidents following the game than at any other day of the year.
Did you ever call in sick the day after a Superbowl?
Did you ever get in a car accident immediately after a Super Bowl?
If so, please [...]
Best sports town?

Wow Daniel, Chicago the best sports town. What makes a good sports town? I would have to say the most important factor is:
How much does the average person know about what’s going on with the teams in their area.
Chicago is a good choice but I have to go with Boston #1 and New York a [...]
