Deep Thoughts By No-Look McFadden: Episode 27

#1
So the football coach of Tennessee, Derek Dooley, has issued a different level of access to his program to “preferred media.” As he announced the inaugural “Iron Vol of the Media” award as part of giving six beat writers access to a mock game, he politely added “abuse brings control.” Apparently, Dooley is concerning himself with things like taking attendance of media members at practice, monitoring what is written about he and his program, and rewarding “journalists” who polish the proverbial Vol knob. Where does finding a way to, you know, win games fit into that busy schedule?
And they thought Lane Kiffin was odd in Knoxville. Wow.

#2
Has anyone ever seen the gay Hispanic dude on “Project Runway,” Michael Costello and Turtle from “Entourage” in the same place at the same time?

#3
As if someone needed to point out that covering high school football on this level is creepy not a good idea, we get this gem about that budding Big Brother, ESPN. Thanks for delivering Reason #6,012 to hate ESPN.

#4
So does anyone else think that an 18-game NFL season is not only a horrible, horrible idea, but stupid as well? And who the F is the NFL marketing genius behind the catchphrase “enhanced season”? You mean “longer season,” right?

#5
Not really my genre, but unintentionally or intentionally, I found this song by Cee-Lo hilarious.



#6
With the season quickly approaching, found this stat about the youth on the Miami Dolphins defense: 6 of 11 starters on “D” this preseason are in either their first or second season. Yikes.
Has any unit gone from old to young faster than the Miami Dolphins defense?

#7
Further proof that there’s not going to be jackshit left to watch on network television during the week this fall: “New Adventures of Old Christine,” one of the most underrated shows on TV, was cancelled as well. *sigh*

#8
OK, so is it me, or does something about Kurt Warner being on “Dancing with the Stars” just not add up? Thought he totally had Never-To-Be-Heard-From-Again-Until-A-Jeezus-Related-NFL-Special-Aired-In-25-Years potential.

#9
Not too big into self-promotion, but I found that my review of the amazing “Trouble the Water” was picked up by the documentary’s official Web site. Pretty cool thing to find out during the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

#10
Ever wondered who could possibly be into dating a super-hot model worth half a billion dollars? Well, this guy, for one. Kinda dumb (obviously), but his “Date Me Elin” is also pretty damn funny.
