Deep Thoughts By No-Look McFadden: Episode 14

#1
Really, “Repo Men”? Casting Jude Law as a tough guy? Really? What, was Hugh Grant unavailable?

#2
Heard on the radio the other day that Robert DeNiro will continue his hard-to-watch career free-fall by portraying Vince Lombardi in ESPN Films’ upcoming and cleverly titled film, “Lombardi.” Yes, that ESPN Films: the one that brought you “Playmakers,” “Hustle” and “The Junction Boys.”
Say it ain’t so, Bobby; you are singlehandedly and seemingly voluntarily destroying what was once an epic acting career.

#3
I don’t have the time needed to go into it all at great length, so read here if you’re interested. But let’s just say that Steven J. Payne, the vice president of Evergreen Entertainment, suffered two lessons when he cursed out a customer online: he convicted himself of ass-monkey douchebaggery of the highest order and he found out the hard way that social media can speed career suicide. Well-played, you walking dildo.

#4
Every time I see Verne Lundquist on air, the more he looks like Boss Nass, the Gungan leader from “The Phantom Menace.”

#5
Giving up on “Stepbrothers” marked the first time I’ve ever turned off a Will Ferrell movie part of the way through. I’m not sure whether it was actually that stupid, I’m getting old, or a combination of both.

#6
I have lived in North Carolina for well more than half my life now, and I still involuntarily look around every time I am addressed singularly as “y’all.”

#7
The Richard-centric episode of “Lost” this week was arguably the best epi that I can remember. But with only seven new episodes remaining, I am starting to worry that I’m never going to see Mr. Eko, Desmond, Walt or Michael again. Please prove me wrong, “Lost” producers.

#8
An autistic 17-year-old from Chicago had the nation’s only perfect bracket headed into Sweet Sixteen weekend. 48-0. Holy shit. “Rain Man”? More like “Game Man.” Heyyyoooooooooooooooo! …

#9
By now we’ve heard that Tim Tebow only scored a 22 on his Wonderlic test at the NFL combine. What we didn’t know is that before the test was administered, Tebow asked the group he was in to pray. Apparent, someone responded, “Shut the f#&k up,” which was met with general laughter. Now, I’m not as anti-Tebow as some—thought he does represent the football version of “Will” Hansblow—but I’m glad someone finally said what everyone else is thinking when Tebow gets all churchy.

This one goes out to all the rectal wizards who are screaming “Socialism!” without knowing how to spell it, much less know what it means. Enjoy it at your next tea party, bitches.
