Fail of the Week
NFL Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign
First off, let me say that I am happy that the NFL decided to do a breast cancer awareness campaign. It is an awful illness, that ends lives prematurely. I do believe that the NFL's heart was in the right place.
Why it was a failure.
The NFL wanted to create awareness of breast cancer. This sounds good, but honestly what does it mean? What are they trying to communicate to us?
Does awareness mean they want more people to know about the disease? This would follow the basic marketing definition of the term awareness; increasing the amount of people that know about something, but it can't be how they meant it. Everyone knows about breast cancer. It's not like someone was watching a football game yesterday and said to themselves, "What's all this pink? What's breast cancer? I have never heard of this disease before. Now that I know about it what should I do?" Therefore, to the NFL, the term awareness means, to just have people think about breast cancer for a day.
That last question the person asked themself, "Now that I know about it, what should I do?" is where the NFL really missed the boat. They didn't give us any direction on what to do after they made us aware. I was confused on if they wanted me to give money towards cancer research, volunteer, or remind all the females I know to get mamograms. They did not once list a website, or phone number to get more information, make donations, or volunteer. A website and phone number should have been listed every time they went to and came back from a commercial, and furthermore that information should've been written on the field. Basically, it should have been more like a telethon.
Think of it as if you just started a business and you have a new product or service. You just spent a shitload of money advertising it, and everyone in the world knows about it, but you didn't tell people where or how to purchase it. That's what the NFL just did with this campaign.
Highlight of the Week
I just got finished telling my friend that Kyle Orton makes Brandon Marshall worthless and how sad it is because, Marshall is one of the 5 most gifted receivers in the league, and then this happened...
...Kyle Orton is still shitty though. That was a really under-thrown ball and Marshall bailed him out, and then ran for an amazing game winning TD, with a little thanks to crap-tastic Dallas tackling.
MidLight of the Week
Not a Highlight because it's a bush league move. Though not a Lowlight because, it was entertaining and these kids get the benefit of learning at a young age, that everyone cheats.
LowLight of the Week
On a critical third down, this happened...
How in the hell was this Roughing the Passer? Suggs barely brushed his knees. Then Brady turns around and begs for the call!
What a Vagina! Quit your bitching, this isn't basketball. You're one step away from flopping like a soccer player. Even your old teammate, Rodney Harrison, told you to take off the skirt and toughen up.
There was also another bullshit roughing the passer penalty called on Brady's behalf in this game, but I couldn't find the clip. Both penalties kept the drives alive and lead to, 2 New England touchdowns.
The Vagina opened up his vaginal lips, and made this comment after the game...
“We’re holding the ball, we’re unprotected. We’re sitting back there defenseless."
Ummm, excuse me Mr. Gisele, I am pretty sure that you are indeed, protected and not defenseless. That's what your offensive line is for; that's their fucking job. This comment by Brady proves to me that he is still scared from the injury last year. He believes he is back there all by himself, and fears that every time he gets hit, he will get hurt.
Picture of the Week
Derrick Mason catches a ball in mid-air and lands in this super cool yoga position. TOUCHDOWN!

Not NFL related, I'm really sorry... not really. FUCK YOU
KFUCKINGP Not only is it cheaper to buy latex gloves than condoms, but, it's easier to bang 5 times in a row, too.
MattBesser Letterman must b punished. We hold our nation's comedians to the highest moral standard. CBS takeaway 1 of his top 10, reducing to Top 9!
bradassnews Really pissed off that I had an interview today and thus had to shave. I was one unshaven day away from, Sexy Stubble Day
shitmydadsays "You're like a tornado of bullshit right now. We'll talk again after your bullshit dies out over someone else's house."
