Rupert Murdoch Ruins Everything

Viacom is pulling the plug on putting some of it’s shows on Hulu. Most notably, the Daily Show with Jon Stewart — the one freakin’ show I go to Hulu for.

I guess, why give Rupert Murdoch’s baby all that web traffic when people can just go to the Comedy Central website directly [...]

Gold Medal Strippers

(Quick Editor’s Note: Miami probably accounts for less than 1% of my daily web hits, but between Rachel and Evan, they sure do send a lot of content for The Wahl. Much appreciated. Though Rachel tends to send me things on topics like lingerie football and strippers. I wonder what she thinks my target [...]

Commercialism

My Super Bowl picks and props will come later, but for now, a quick note on two commercials to potentially look forward to this Sunday:

I) Brett Favre is apparently moving out of his comfortable shell made of Wrangler jeans and Sears TVs to pitch Hyundais.

Rumor has it that he’ll be mocking his [...]

A Personal Request

BJones, The Great Wahl’s College Football Senior Writer, asked me to put together a quick commentary about last night’s Pro Bowl experiment…so here we go.

For the unfamiliar, the Pro Bowl is usually played in Hawaii the week after the Super Bowl. This year, it was played in Miami, the site of this year’s [...]

Commercial of the Year

When I was watching the NFL Championship games with Rubin and Kennedy on Sunday, we saw the commercial below for the first time.

I have never liked clowns. Ever since my dad brought me to see ‘FX/2′ when I was like 8 years old, I have never had a positive opinion of clowns. [...]

The Devil Went Down to Haiti

I haven’t heard anything about Pat Robertson joining Fox News, but after comments like he made yesterday, there’s a solid chance they’ll try to sign him to the standard Nut Job Commentator contract.

On his Christian Broadcasting Network show yesterday, Rev. Pat Robertson said that the nation of Haiti has been devastated by a [...]

Everybody’s Doing It

I’ve watched Conan three times since he moved to the Tonight Show last summer, including the last two nights. I think he’s just a shade below Jon Stewart in the comedic genius department, so I’m definitely rooting for him to win this battle with Leno and NBC, I just never watch late night TV. [...]

Master Plan

I think this whole feud between Leno and Conan and NBC is just all part of a master plan to bump ratings. Jimmy Kimmel is even feasting off the controversy.

I don’t watch Kimmel. But I read that he did the entire show as Leno. Have to give him credit for that. [...]

The Dirty Jerz

I have a few friends from New Jersey. I have a few friends who went to school in New Jersey. I have a few friends currently living in New Jersey. I have a few Italian-American friends. I also have friends that go to the Jersey Shore on an annual basis. So….I have to [...]

Cut That Meat

Is Peyton a pitchman for MasterCard anymore? I miss those great commercials. They should run them regardless. There are very few tv ad phrases as iconic as “Cut that meat!”:

But, I digress.

As you can see by looking at my fitness project gauge on the right sidebar, I passed the 80lbs [...]
