ADULT SWIM FTW (almost)…

adultswim

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is still one of the lynchpins in the Adult Swim programming bloc. It’s good clean retarded fun. Even when it isn’t good and clean its always retarded. And for me, that’s what matters most.

Just don’t fux with Carl’s football picks.

The latest development in this season’s DP.com Not For Long football pool is the addition of a special Xbox DJ Hero promo package as the new grand prize for the winner. You can still opt to receive a pair of sneakers or you can get the hottest video game evar.

If you were under a rock the last few years you would have missed the Guitar Hero craze that went global. Activision is now trying to corner the rest of the market with the Hip-Hop version of their most popular game.

The DJ Hero promo pack will go to the points leader at the conclusion of the regular season. If you weren’t taking the football pool seriously yet it’s time for you to step up your picks…

The overall leader Flacco’s Mighty Unibrow can be caught from behind but it depends now on how bad you want to get to the top. The rest of the season begins now.

The Not For Long wk 5 is almost in the books and the scrum for the top spot continues. Basically everyone that is in the pool is one stellar week from taking over the lead. Okay, maybe two stellar weeks, but with 12 weeks still left in the pool the free sneakers belong to anybody who really wants them.

*Commissioner’s note: There will be no adidas available this year. Sorry folks. I know Dart Adams is a super three stripe stan but there are some administrative issues this year with adidas and DP.com that you may have heard about. Yeah, well, c’est la vie.

I decided to go in with the entire field of poolers for this drop since we are passing the 1/4 mark of the season. No one should feel counted out but the poolers with zero need to step their game up. Those were two slots that someone else could have filled with the intentions of getting the glory.

The competition is for real for real this year. Jesse has seen the top spot twice already. Maybe this is the year that Joe Flacco’s Unibrow aka The FreshXpress aka Amadeo Sogni finally breaks through and gets his trophy. He has been one of the top poolers every year. Watch out for the ladies on the come up this year too. I think Angie from ProperTalks told me she was going with whatever team had her favorite colors.

If you are looking to see some new sneaker acquisitions on this page you will be disappointed for at least another 6 weeks while I get my finances back in order. That is why I am going so hard in the paint to win the free sneakers in the annual DP.com football pool. If I pull this win out I will be incorrigible. The DP.com football pool is as much as a marathon as it is a challenge to be the top football fan on the internets.

Going into week 4 the top 10 is actually 13 and the entire field of 50 still has a chance even though some of the players have yet to score a point. Those players may have quit on themselves already. I’m not looking backwards though. My eyes are on the prize. The good news is that my homey Pete who owns Premium Laces NY will make sure he has a pair of Green Bay Packers Nike SB Dunks available for me to buy the winner. Someone is getting hooked the fux up for the new year.

Longtime poolers JESSE and Flacco’s Mighty Unibrow contend for the top spot at the 1/4 mark in the 2009 NFL season, after them the jumble is wild and crazy. Keep making your weekly picks and one of you players could wind up the king of the hill.

Touchdown Jesus’ Texas Condo…

cowboy stadium

I’m a Cowboys fan, but their new stadium is a disgusting waste of taxpayer money. I’m surprised that it went down in Texas so easily by allowing the local government to spike the taxes, albeit the taxes on tourism. I thought that the conservative body politic in Texas wasn’t for all this excess taxation? That is the appeal of gaining what I call ‘Stadium Status’. People want to have any association whatsoever with these now billion dollar capital construction clusterfucks.

The new Cowboys Stadium takes the cake in my opinion. At nearly a billion and a half dollars this beast of a building is named after a team that will play at best a dozen games in the building annually. Think about that for a minute. Eight regular season home games. Two preseason games and two playoff games if they’re that good. Is it any wonder that the Yankees and the Cowboys are the two wealthiest sports franchises in America? Here are some of the financial details on Cowboys Stadium…

  • Originally estimated to cost $650 million, the stadium’s current construction cost has been pegged between $1.3 and $1.5 billion, making it one of the most expensive sports venues ever built
  • The City of Arlington provided over $933 million (including interest) in bonds as funding, and Jones covered any cost overruns. The NFL also provided the Cowboys with an additional $150 million, as per their policy for giving teams a certain lump sum of money for stadium financing
  • The average ticket to a Cowboys game costs $159.65, a record for the Fan Cost Index survey, which dates to 1991. The New England Patriots previously had the priciest ticket in pro sports and that cost remained the same at $117.84
  • There is the $150,000 down payment required of season-ticket holders for 30 years of seats — which doesn’t include ticket prices
  • Suites will range from $100,000 to $500,000 per year. That lease will include tickets to Cowboys games, but not third-party events
  • On October 20, 2008, Cowboys owner Jones and New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner announced a joint business venture called Legends Hospitality Management LLC which would operate the concessions and merchandising sales at the new Cowboys stadium and at the new Yankee Stadium, along with the stadiums of the Yankees’ minor league affiliates
  • Former Pizza Hut President Michael Rawlings will run the company from its new headquarters in Newark, New Jersey. The company was also backed by Wall Street investment firm Goldman Sachs and Dallas private equity firm CIC Partners LP
  • According to the Cowboys, the 20-inch pizzas at the new stadium will cost $60. There will be five different types of pizza available for that price.
  • Fortunately, beer will still be sold for only $5
  • Jones’ Cowboys and Steibrenner’s Yankees might be the only people not named CitiBank, JP Morgan, Bank of America, AIG, Lehman Brothers or General Motors who can have their corporate homes subsidized by taxpayers to the tune of over a billion dollars. The socialism in America certainly exists for billionaires. I wonder if the Mexican maintenance workers in the new Cowboys Stadium have health insurance? They prA’li don’t. This is why I’m fuxing with the Jets hardbody this season. At least they have the goods sense to share a building with some other teams.
