HD TV Report: Pickin' and Eatin'...

So I was flippin' between the New England Patriots vs NY Giants historic (so historic that they had to show it on NBC and CBS in addition to the NFL Network that those of us who have a quality provider get as part of our regular package) and the Valero Alamo Bowl between the Texas A&M Aggies and JoePa's Nitanny Lions from Penn State.

My wife screams with delight as she sees an Aggie Fan perform a full nasal extraction and consumption in a matter of seconds on live TV!

Say what? I said.
"That guy picked his nose..."
"Then he ate it!"


So I said, "Maybe he was just rubbing his nose and then was rubbing his mustache".

"Nope", my wife says, "we have a DVR. Rewind that booger-eater and watch what happens."
Sure enough. Aggie dude picks his nose...
Then eats it.

NOTE: Apparently, we weren't the only people to see it. This poor guy is quite the topic of discussion, here and here and this is really good!

NBC is Green - And Really Stupid...

Like most Texans, I tuned in for NBC's Sunday Night Football this evening and caught the pre-show with Bob Costas and Chris Collinsworth. Toward the end of the show, they announced that the NBC network was doing some sort of Green is Universal kind of gimmick where they would dim the lights on the set resulting in enough savings to provide electricity to a home for a full month or something.

Good for them. I trust they will also be eliminating the door to door limo service or that big bus John Madden rides on. Give that fat bastard a moped and an iPod, and see you next Sunday night as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, after some stupid report by Matt Lauer who promoted Nobel Peace Prize wiener Al Gore, they flash back to a giggling Chris Collinsworth who is obviously hip to how stupid it is to sit there on national TV in candle light, talking about football.

I'm all for the environment and despise litter and waste of resources. But seriously, can NBC get anymore ridiculous?
