The leather heads are gone

            http://www.loudsportsshorts.com/football/records/unitas.jpg  Football is a shell of what it once was. Do you remember when football was a game of champions? The answer unless you're 50 is no. Now I'm not knocking 40 year olds, they lived through some of the best moments in this century. But football has become the biggest farse on television. We as Americans sit around on sundays  and get fat and yell and scream ,"I hope we pull through this game." WHO IS WE. WE are not making $400,000+ a game. WE are not on strike because WE want more money. How can there be a WE anyway when WE are playing for a new team every two or three years. THEY are playing, and THEY are the reason this season won't happen. The idea of football has even become ridiculous, and too show you I'll break it down.

  1 1,696 players.
  2. $770,000 average salary
  3. Endorsements out the ass.
  4. Most charges put against them do not interfere with job.
  5. An entire country of fans.
  6. STILL GO ON STRIKE.
     Seriously, this sport should just start fresh because every year people lose more faith in it. And the 7 bagillion dollar super bowls. And the players. I would be surprised if the equipment started wanting more money. at least he can say it without yelling like i do

Get the lawyers out.

PS, i hope football doesn't happen anymore.

Infected

                  Everything about the music industry today is completely mind numbing. It's like the industry to came back from a cocaine filled eighties extravaganza. Because of youtube and the "glorious" revitalization of auto tune, we as a whole have the worst musical taste since....well.......ever. But now I'm just ranting. Music nowadays does have it's strengths, like the burden of making good music taken off performers shoulders. However, it also adds burdens such as screwing up on stage is most likely being videophoned at that moment and WILL be viral within the next six. But this just puts the pressure on the lesser part of entertainment. In my honest opinion, the music that is created will always be first;dancing doesn't matter; semantics don't matter; stage persona doesn't matter. If you're music is terrible(this one's for you all you ke$has and beibers and disney channel things) then you as an artist are terrible plain and simple. The thing that really gets me about the whole viral music industry today is things that are completely terrible will spread like wild fire. I.E. THIS!
 
This ruined my whole month. Oh and do yourself a favor and see how many views it has. It's also on the radio. I'm done talking about this. As humans we have redefined what something viral does, viral no longer infects it cures. It cures of feeling stupid, it cures us of anxiety, i stops us from watching so much tv, but it's infected me. I have become so sick of that I now have a headache, and I'm getting hot flashes and cold sweats. Don't let viral videos be your temporary cure.
Here's a list of bands that can cure you, take as many doses as you see fit.
  • Mineral
  • Explosions in the sky
  • Saves the day
  • Manchester Orchestra
  • The Format
  • Death Cab for Cutie
  • Sunny Day real estate
  • Eisley
