Things that make you go hmmmmmm......

So i'm on yahoo.com looking at the probable pitchers for tuesday.  I look at the right side of the screen and see a banner link  advertisement for a sports handicapping/consulting site run by Brandon Lang.  As a way to get the readers attention, the ad also brags about the fact that his life was documented in the movie 'Two for the Money'.
 
If you didn't see the movie 'Two for the Money' let me give you a quick recap....
 
A guy joins a sports consulting firm and starts out picking a lot of winners.  As times goes on his luck runs out and starts picking a lot of losers.  As a result of his recent bad luck his world around him starts to crumble.   He loses a shitload of money, his personal relationships are screwed up, and his bosses personal life is on the brink of ruins.  At the end he lets it all ride on one game, a game he picked by flipping a coin.  During the game he literally walks out on the firm not knowing if he had won or lost his final bet. (he won).
 
My question to you is this.  Given what happened to him during the movie (losing picks and flipping coins)  would you really want to pay for this guys advice?
 
hmmmmmmmm......

Does anyone understand that stupid Coke commerical?

You know the one
 
The one with the eye and tounge arguing with each other.  Then the brain comes in tells them both that they're going to make them "eat dirt" and "wear the onion sombrero all day long"
 
I don't get it

Classy's Rules (21-25)

Classy Rule #21:  Systematically Randomize the NHL Draft.  In other words make it so that each team gets the #1 pick once every 30 years, the #2 pick once every 30 years.......the #30 pick once every 30 years.  Why should teams get rewarded with good talent year after year for being lousy year after year.  Is it fair that Detroit gets punished for their success year after year by drafting low every year.  Is it fair that Tampa Bay gets a Stanley cup one year and gets a first overall pick 4 years later (and maybe another one after this year)  Is it fair that the Bluejackets get to draft in the top 8 year after year after year and they get rewarded for making 'mostly' crumby draft picks by giving them more high draft picks.  Is it fair that the core of Pittsburgh's team is built on many years of sucking?  It's a shame that most of these high profile young players end up playing in American cites that don't give a shit about hockey.  Places like Columbus, Atlanta, and Tampa to name a few.

Classy Rule #22: If the TV program doesn't fit the the name of the TV Channel, then it shouldn't be on that channel.  Why is ECW wrestling on the Sci-Fi Channel?  Since when did A&E become the Fox reality TV channel?  Does MTV or Muchmusic air music video's anymore?  And why don't these 24 hour news networks barely report important news?  This sort of leads into my next rule........

Classy's Rules (16-20)

Classy Rule #16: No more text messaging on sports TV shows.  Have you ever read some of those juvenile messages some of these idiots type up.  - trade Jason Blake for a bag of pucks.....- Only dumb women watch CFL in Toronto, bring on the NFL at Skydome baby.....-Avery should quit the NHL and wrestle in the WWE.  Good lord.  Can't these text messengers find something else better to spend their 50 cents on.  A new brain perhaps?

Classy Rule #17: TLC (The Learning Channel) shouldn't be allowed to air programming during dinner hours.  I don't want to watch 'Man with 200 pound red tumor on his face' while i'm eating Cauliflower.  I don't watch to watch 'Half man half tree' while i'm looking at the outer layer of my baked potato.  And I don't watch to watch white puss flowing out of the arms of the 'The Man Whose Arms Exploded' while i'm eating my New England clam chowder.  I know what you're going to say "why do you just change the damn channel?"  Well I can't, because I just have to stay tuned to see if these circus freaks get cured at the end of the show.

Classy Rule #18: The LA Clippers and LA Lakers must play their home games in different arenas.  Every game should have a home team and a road team.  So which one is really which?  (Don't respond by explaining this to me, cause I already know.  I'm just sayin......)

Classy Rule #19: The CFL needs to change their playo... [More]

Classy's Rules (11-15)

Classy's Rule #11: Get rid of the The Score Television Network please.  Their programming sucks, their in house experts are boring, and their television personalities are irritating to listen to when they're describing sports highlights.  Can somebody tell these idiots that the first rule of comedy is that you have to actually be funny.  If you want to spend more time telling bad jokes and less time talking about sports and describing highlights, go find work somewhere else.

Classy's Rule #12: No more posting In-Game threads on covers.  If you look hard enough there are websites out there that provide up to the second scoring (cbs sportsline, NHL.com, covers scoreboards, etc.)  By the time your finished typing in which team just scored, it's probably old news to everbody else on-line

Classy's Rule #13: Get rid of those Subway commercials involving that dumb monkey.  This the worst, more inncoherrent marketing idea to sell food, that i've ever seen in my life.  It's not trendy, it's not stylish, it's not cool, it's just stupid.  Unless your selling monkey flavored subs, just drop it and go back to the drawing board.

Classy Rule #14: Fans are no longer allowed to vote for starters in any All-Star game.  As of now, the entire NHL Eastern Conference starters are all Montreal Canadians. Yi Jianlian a 10 point, 6 rebound per game player had a good chance of being a starter in the NBA east thanks to the 1.3 billion p... [More]

Classy's Rules (6-10)

Classy's Rule #6: No more 24 hour sports channels in Canada please.  Last August TSN 2 came out and what's the first thing I saw on it....Poker.  What's on the TSN main network at the same time....Poker.  What's on The Score Television Netowrk.......Poker.  What's on Sportsnet......red bull airplane riding.  You know maybe if these sports network would just stick to airing sports instead of Poker, Wrestling, spelling bees and cup stacking, we wouldn't need to put up with so many useless sports channels out there.

Classy's Rule #7: Ben Roethlisberger has give back his superbowl ring.  It's bad enough my Seahawks lost but it's even worse when the mainstream media now says that Ben Roethlisberger is a championship quarter back or that Ben Roethilsberger won the superbowl.....he threw for 123 yards, 2 interceptions, and had a passer rating of 22.6.  That's not winning a superbowl that called leeching off your supporting cast.  And until someone can intelligently explain to me what 'managing a game' means then I am 100% right on this one.   And in case you haven't figured it out, no, I'm still not over it!

Classy's Rule #8: After the opening bell of round 1 rings, UFC fighers are not allowed to touch gloves in the middle of the ring.  I paid 40 bucks for this.  Save the sportsmanship for before and after the fight, and just get on with kicking each other's ass.

Classy's Rule #9: Poker can no longer be con... [More]

Classy's Rules (1-5)

Classy Rule #1: If you havn't made the NFL playoffs in 9 years, you no longer have the right to broadcast your games nationally (Example: Detroit and Thanksgiving)   Classy Rule #2: Stop talking about how a West Coast NFL team has a disadvantage playing in an eastern time zone.  "Well you see Tom it's a 1pm kickoff, that means their body clocks are still stuck on 10am...bla bla bla bla bla..."  You've got 6 days rest in between games, surely you can find time to adjust somewhere within that 144 hour time frame.   Classy Rule #3: Cover's posters can no longer post scantily clad women as their pic anymore.  Yea I get it, you're a man who likes beautiful woman, you're so cool, you were the captain of your high school football team, only the best looking woman are allowed to hang out with you in real life, you're not gay.   Classy Rule #4: When a cover's poster title's his thread "I'm desparate in life, I need winners or else something bad will happen to me".  Don't advise him to stop gambling!  The world needs humor and so do we here at covers.  These types of posters are usually the most funniest to read weather it's their bad financial situaion or their lack of good grammar.  Besides why should Justin TV be the only place where on-line suicides take place.   Classy Rule #5:  Now that the Bengals offically suck, Chad Ocho-Cinco must legally change is last name back to Johnson.  You have...
