Top 5 Superbowl Parties

noreply@blogger.com (Ron Dean) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:00:00 +0000

Maxim - Basically gets the nod as the number one party by everyone who attends
Playboy - Last year barely missed beating out the Maxim party but how can you go wrong combining Playboy and the Superbowl
Leigh Steinberg - The super agents party has become a can't miss the afternoon before the game. Also you have to wonder how many GMs negotiate and invite to this party over contract talks
NFL Players - I am sure it is great I mean the players set up exactly what they want, but you aren't getting nearly the skin factor of the first 2
Wil's Superbowl Party - You may be asking yourself how does this fit in with the other 4- Easy,You aren't getting into this party either.

Ways to Enjoy Super Week

noreply@blogger.com (Ron Dean) — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:00:00 +0000

So as the overhype pours on I have some ideas for ways to enjoy Super Week

TIVO all the extra coverage, trust me you are gonna be jonesing for any football you can get in a few weeks
Keep track of the people (and non-people) picking the Giants
Hold your breath 'til Wednesday when Belichick gives us the injury report we all can't stop asking about
Figure out where your favorite reporters stand based on if they get to go to Arizona and if they do how soon do they get to get there
Watch the game I mean you put up with all the over coverage might as well get your reward

What to do with your not so super Sunday

noreply@blogger.com (Ron Dean) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:22:00 +0000

So it is a football free not so super sunday. What to do? Don't worry I got you.

1. Watch the X Games - on all day on ESPN. A guy on a monoski just hit the jump that was out there for the big air skiers cometition in the middle of a race he was leading. You can't ask for better than that

2. Watch old games on the NFL Network - what no NFL network, take this time to complain to your cable subscriber

3.Take this football free day as an opportunity to wash that nasty lucky shirt you haven't washed all year

4. Get out of the house - This would normaly be where I mock all of you that don't live here in So Cal but with the 12 feet(approximately) of rain in the last week I'm not leaving the house either.

5. Find something to fill your time, anything - otherwise you'll end up doing those chores you been telling your girl you'd get around to

My 4-year old teaches you how to title your post

noreply@blogger.com (Ron Dean) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 08:52:00 +0000

We, adults, grown-ups, big people, however you want to slice that one, have over complicated things. My son has two bears. One is a ridiculously non-bear shade of blue, the other says Awwww. Do you know what my son has named these two bears, Blue Bear and Awwww Bear. So when my son creeps to the top of the stairs (usually well after I have put him to bed), and tells me he wants his Awwww Bear, there is no confusion he gets exactly what he wants.
I am often tempted to create unique, clever, witty, titles. I in fact started writing blogs as means of moving my clever thoughts off of message boards and on to my own site. As I look back at my archives the first bunch had the same title, Just One Mans Opinion, with only the date changing. I don’t care how witty I thought it was, repeating it daily surely wasn’t. So then I came up with a unique title for each post, that seemed clever, that I thought would really have some punch once you read the post. It worked, sometimes, but sometimes my humor fell flat and even worse than that. How many readers didn’t even get to the post. When the headline doesn’t pull them in it doesn’t matter how clever you think it is. So when you are making the headline to your post, don’t make things more complicated than they need to be. Your post is for the content that keeps gets readers to subscribe and keeps them interested. Your headline is to help them find the posts they are interested in.

Welcome
