The Early Contender For Internet Video Of The Year Is Here

What a ride. I'm not sure what else I expected, but this video delivers. 

Before I even clicked it, I had a decent idea of what was set to take place. It plainly states what he's doing for this video, but even still, I wasn’t ready for it. The commentary and the noises they're making while they try to get him in there is amazing, even if I didn't understand all of it. "Get the leafblower, Ty!" The whole process of getting him in there is delightful.   
The jumping and the pop at the end, it's just a perfect video. Pure gold. 
Listen, from time to time we could all use a palate cleanser. The world wide web can be a nasty place and too often vitriol and hate takes over. Sometimes a video comes around that defies all the odds of the internet. This time, it's an Irish lad stuffing his "fadder" into a balloon that'll bring us together and put a smile on our faces. 

It's an instant classic, three minutes of bliss, and just in time for St. Patrick's Day.

The Pete Weber Celebration Breakdown

Image
Originally written 10/31/19 Close your eyes and picture this, if you will. What's the single most memorable, prolific sports celebration that pops into your head? Any sport, any athlete, any era. What was it for you? Maybe it was Tiger Woods on the 16th hole, jarring a chip from off the back of the green in the final round of the 2005 Masters. Perhaps you’re envisioning Brandi Chastain celebrating shirtless after netting the penalty kick to win the 1999 World Cup. Or maybe it's Michael Jordan elevating over Craig Ehlo, hanging in the atmosphere for an immaculate split second, then draining the game winner and unloading several emphatic fist pumps. You can open your eyes now. I’m sorry to inform you that whatever you just pictured in your head is incorrect, and also stupid. The greatest sports celebration that ever was didn’t take place on a field, nor a pitch, nor a court. No, the greatest celebration ever went down on a bowling alley. It all unfolded and history was made on...

FFB Week 10: Twelve Takeaways

Image
WELCOME BACK.  Another Wednesday, Twelve more Takeaways from this past week's action.  Alright, that's enough small-talk. Let's ride.  1. We had ourselves a good, old-fashioned Thursday night Ja'Marr Chase points explosion. More like a pants explosion for people that started him, am I right?  Anyways, it was a night to remember for Ja'Marr Chase fantasy owners as he more or less won a good portion of the matchups he was a part of before they got started. The feeling of dread for folks that were going against him and didn't check the box score until the next morning is the stuff of fantasy nightmares.  Chase caught 11 passes for 264 yards and 3 touchdowns in the contest putting up 49.90 fantasy points in half-PPR leagues, a performance for the ages.  Somehow, the Bengals lost the game and fell to 4-6, BUT if you're a fan of bargain buys they're +130 to make the playoffs and Joe Burrow is in God-mode with two straight QB1 finishes.  After going nuclear t...

A Celebration Of The 2001 Creed Super Bowl Halftime Show

Image
A Frame by Frame Celebration of: "The Halftime Show" by Creed That's right, folks. We're taking it back to the year 2001 and Creed had just blessed the music community with their third studio album, Weathered.  This album was the springboard that catapulted them into the epicenter of the early 2000's rock storm alongside other juggernauts such as Nickelback, Staind, and Hoobastank. Naturally, they were a top choice for the NFL's Thanksgiving halftime show and to say they delivered would be a gross understatement. Let me give a little background before we start dissecting the footage. This particular halftime show took place on November 22nd, 2001 - roughly two months after 9/11 and two days after Weathered had been released. What better way to honor America and promote the new album than to turn the amps up to 11 and melt the collective faces of NFL fans across the country? As if Creed shredding wasn't metal enough, the accompanying acts propelled this i...
