It’s officially Week 1, kids. Time for some football. You never know what’s going to happen. Just like in this clip from Week 1 in 2009. Down 7-6 with the ball on the 13-yard line and 28 seconds left, Kyle Orton needed a miracle. And he got one. Who happened to be calling the game? Gus Johnson.

Wrestling Video of the Week: Count Him, Dammit!
Posted: September 2, 2011 by Keith Stone in Good Old JR, Mick Foley, Slobberknocker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, videos, wrestling, WWFThis is the height of wrestling. You start with the WWF’s preeminent personality, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Throw in a little Mick Foley doing his Dude Love thing with a giant stain on his ass. The Undertaker is inexplicably standing at ringside doing nothing until he slams some 80-year-old dudes through the announce tables (ay caramba). Vince McMahon is jacked up on ‘roids as the referee, yet he refuses to give Stone Cold the three-count. And the icing on the cake, as always, is Jim Ross’s impassioned play-by-play. It’s not wrestling if J.R. isn’t calling things. I wish he announced my life:
“Keith Stone crossing the street. AND HE WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BIKE! GOOD LORD, WHAT WAS HE THINKING!? BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP!”
Let’s take a look out how ludicrous and awesome the ending is. First, the Dudester hits McMahon in the face with a steel chair even though they’re allies. A sanctioned referee enters the ring to fill in for McMahon and is interfered with by McMahon’s crony, Pat Patterson. Then, Patterson and Gerald Brisco, who theoretically have about as much authority as me trying to call a foul on LeBron James from the crowd, try to count the pin.
That doesn’t even come close to the most ridiculous part of it all. When the Undertaker says adios to the stooges, Stone Cold earns the victory by using McMahon’s own unconscious hand for the 1-2-3. Can you imagine if the Giants scored six points because Brandon Jacobs knocked out Ed Hochuli and raised his arms to signal a touchdown? Oh, I love wrestling.
Trailer Park: Inside Out
Posted: September 1, 2011 by Keith Stone in Inside Out, Trailer Park, Triple H, videos, wrestling, WWFTriple H and Michael Rapaport playing brothers who get wrapped up in a robbery gone wrong? Sign me up! Just check out the star power in this one. Parker Posey! Bruce Dern! It’s like the Philadelphia Eagles of movies. Triple H should go ahead and quit as COO of the WWF and move into movies full-time. I don’t get why CM Punk always makes fun of his acting. He’s like Bobby DeNiro and Lou Ferrigno wrapped up into one.
“Do it, Hansel!”
This walk off is so good, A.J. Burnett should hit it with a pie. Sometimes you just have to let legends go out there and do their thing. Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and David Bowie are unstoppable in this scene from Zoolander. The movie is packed with classic scenes, but this one’s the best. Will Ferrell’s not even in it. That tells you how stacked it is. It’s like the Brooklyn Decker of movies.
Wrestling Video of the Week: The Miz Wins the WWF Title
Posted: August 26, 2011 by Keith Stone in Challenge Week, Slobberknocker, The Miz, videos, wrestling, WWFBefore he was WWF Champion The Miz, he was Challenge Champion Mike Mizanin, winner of Battle of the Seasons and The Inferno II. Who would have thought that he would go on to be in the main event at WrestleMania? It still pales in comparison to competing against Jeremy in the candle-holding Inferno.
Trailer Park: The Challenge
Posted: August 24, 2011 by Keith Stone in Challenge Week, Trailer Park, videosIn The Challenge, Mary Kate and Ashley play sisters who hate each other yet unwittingly end up on the same game show on a tropical island to win scholarships. That’s crazy! One loves to eat, the other is a vegetarian! One loves nature, the other hates nature! That’s crazy! And they both fall in love with older-looking guys while competing! That’s crazy! Now I know why they became such big movie stars.
Classic Video of the Week: Haka Dance
Posted: August 23, 2011 by Keith Stone in Challenge Week, The Challenge, videosThis is what Challenge Week is all about. For the Duel II intro, the competitors performed the Haka dance for the opening credits, which is indigenous to New Zealand where the show was being held. The result is an intense, hilarious display highlighted by Evan’s strong opening and Nick’s Jordan-esque tongue. Less than a day later, they were all goofing off in footy pajamas when CT punched his future partner Adam in the face in one of the greatest moments in Challenge history. Luckily they eventually reconciled and became friends.
Wrestling Video of the Week: Great Ovation For RoboCop
Posted: August 21, 2011 by Keith Stone in Robocop, Slobberknocker, videos, WCW, wrestlingI have no idea what’s going on here. I would say RoboCop’s stint in WCW was the most bizarre ever, but I don’t want to disrespect David Arquette and Jay Leno. RoboCop might not even be the best part of this video. First, you have Sid in a tuxedo for some reason, which is great. Kudos to Sid for making the Wrestling Video of the Week for two weeks in a row. But how about a young JR with some solid play-by-play throughout the whole escapade? I felt Sting’s pain as he was trapped in the cage but when his friend RoboCop rescued him, my soul smiled. That’s all good old JR.
Trailer Park: Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Posted: August 21, 2011 by Keith Stone in Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Trailer Park, videosWelcome to the Trailer Park, featuring some of the greatest movie trailers of all-time. Our debut is a doozy. I have no idea how Killer Klowns From Outer Space came to be made, but I really wish I could have been at the pitch meeting for that one. “So some aliens come to a carnival from outer space, but they’re clowns. And they kill people with exploding pies and stuff.” “Beautiful, I smell a hit.” However, the movie has attracted a Snakes on a Plane-esque cult following and apparently there’s a sequel being developed. Whoohoo.
Classic Video of the Week: Revenge of the Nerds
Posted: August 19, 2011 by Keith Stone in Revenge of the Nerds, videosI miss 80’s movies. Each one has the same formula. Kid gets bullied, lusts after a girl, climactic performance, climactic speech, end credits. Revenge of the Nerds may be the perfect 80’s movie. Either that or Teen Wolf. It has a ridiculous premise with no logic whatsoever and there’s no way the nerds could beat the Alpha Betas in the Greek Games, but it’s so goofy that it doesn’t matter. Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!
