This post isn’t going to be so much about the 49ers or our new hero, J – T – O. I will talk about the game, but after I’m done, I’ll bring up a performance that will fall under the radar, even though it was one of the most impressive performances I’ve ever seen. But before I get to that, the boys and I did a video tribute to J – T – O over the weekend. In case you missed it, I’ll add it here again.

Now that the J – T – O loving is over, let’s quickly get to the game.

There are three things that I saw in the 49ers loss to New Orleans that stood out and yet, I don’t even necessarily want to talk about them all that much. I’ll just list them.

Again, I plead everyone to do the J – T – O. You should read my original before moving on if you haven’t read it already.

I’m following through on my promise to those three initials and have created my first video with the Luchadors. This should inspire everyone to take some photos of themselves doing the J – T – O. Or even create your own video.

J – T – O, you’re the best.

There is a much clearer version in my MobileMe gallery.

Fellow readers of this fantastic blog, I need your help. My community, please help me.

I am going to give away my third Great Great Man Award, but I want you to help me choose who deserves it most.

I am going to give you 4 options, and your job is to select who you believe should be the recipient and then vote in the comment section below.

Here are your options:

A. Dave Meltzer
Why he should win – I’ve read every single copy of his newsletter “The Wrestling Observer” since 2001, and they come out every week. And he’s the only one on the list who I’ve met in person.

Why he shouldn’t win – Eddy Zucko makes fun of his clothes from the time he met him while working at Gold’s Gym.

B. Brandon Walsh
Why he should win – He’s simply the man.

Why he shouldn’t win – He’s not necessarily real. Well he is, but it’s still just a character. But a damn good one.

C. Enrique Iglesias
Why he should win – He’s a pimp. He always gets hot women. I’ve used him in “The Adventures Of Low Jones”.

Why he shouldn’t win – He hasn’t had a hit record in years. And he has a terrible hairy mole.

D. J – T – O
Why he should win – He’s going to be a pop culture phenomenon thanks to me.

Why he shouldn’t win – It’s just too soon.

Here were the past two winners.

Nick Lachey
Patrick Swayze

Please vote in the comments section below. I will wait for about a week until I determine who will be the next recipient.

90210 Episode 4 – Petrified

September 24th, 2008 Permalink

Last week, they answered the question that everyone in the world had. Well, maybe it was just me. But the big question was, “Who is the father to Kelly’s son?” People threw around the names Brandon and Dylan, even if I thought the kid looked like Steve. And for no real reason whatsoever, other than having Brenda drop the bomb on us (since she’s gone after tonight’s episode I think), they answered a question that they could’ve saved for a big ratings grabbing episode. It was Dylan. I don’t necessarily think it was a good story line to have unless you can deliver on the climax. And according to Luke Perry, they will never deliver on the climax. He’s stated on a few occasions recently that he has no plans to reprise his Beverly Hills bad boy character. Maybe he’s lying to us or just holding out for more money. Matthew Berry (aka The Talented Mr. Roto), a fantasy sports writer for ESPN and huge 90210 fan, thinks that he’s coming back for sweeps. This is from a guy who had Nat and Lori Loughlin on his fantasy football podcast, and also wrote Crocodile Dundee III. Maybe he knows something. (Also, I bet he gets google alerts when his name is blogged, so he might even ready this.)

By the way, credit to the photo above goes to Alan Light.

By the way by the way, 90210 just got picked up for the entire season so it looks like I’m going to be doing this for many more months to come. Yay! I think.

For one week, 49ers fans have a new hero. After today, he won’t even be known by his name. He will from now and forever only be known by the three initials J – T – O.

Even though I don’t believe he’s the next coming of one Joseph Montana, or even the next coming of one Jeffrey Garcia, I still think he deserves this. And why not? The man has given us hope. He’s going to save us222.

It’s not like I am officially on the bandwagon. In fact, I call still call him JT Snow’Sullivan which is kind of a slap to the face for the future man of only three initials. But I think we 49ers fans can start a revolution. And it might be the biggest thing since sliced Wonder bread.

Now, in order for our new hero to get the proper “flash in the pan” attention that he deserves, we need to give him something the fans can repeat and repeat until it becomes viral. There needs to be YouTube videos created and embedded in every blog across the green earth.

It’s very simple. And it’s not entirely original either. In fact, a former 49ers superstar set the stage for this soon to be world renown symbol of greatness. Terrell Owens, also known as T.O., has been known from time to time to spell out his initials with his arms. He throws his arms out perpendicular to his body to form the T. And then he does a near double bicep pose to put his arms into an O. I think we can do that one better. All we need is a J.

I want everyone at Candlestick Park, everyone watching at home, and even those non-49ers fans to perform this symbol of greatness, and if you’re too cool for school, you need to do it with me now. Stop. Look. And Listen.



You can do it while sitting, you can do it while standing, you can do it if you’re Hea Jin, you can do it if you’re Young Randy. Get your girlfriend to do it, make your wife stand up and pose, go grab a tissue and do it while blowing your nose.

This symbol of greatness needs to spread like wild fire. Show everyone you know. Do it for your mama, do it simply for the man who is now known forever as J – T – O.

This picture to the left is the product of what happens when brothers fool around. I wasn’t there, but from what I was told, the boys decided that if they rolled off the couch together and onto the floor, it would provide them much entertainment. After the first time, they decided to do it again. And by the time they hit the floor the second time, JJ had a black eye. We’re not exactly sure how he got the black eye, but I think Brian outweighs by at least 25 pounds and maybe more, so that gives you an idea.

Onto other thoughts …

What is it with women on their cell phone in the gym? Last night, while at the gym, there were two women walking on the treadmill and talking on the cell phone at the same time. I guess some people need some sort of entertainment while exercising, but I can’t imagine they are going to be able to push themselves a little harder while talking on the celly telly. It’s not like the inspiration I get to push it to the limits from watching Season 4 of Beverly Hills, 90210. And I really hate John Sears by the way. He should’ve been given the death penalty. I’m also right at the part where Brandon sleeps with his professor’s wife. Well, they haven’t done it yet, but I know it’s coming.

Before I get to the season 10 finale, I have to speak out to current and future Big Brother players. If there is one constant in this game, it’s that people lie. No one plays with integrity or honesty, no matter what they say. In order to win this game, you have to scheme and purposely not keep your word. You have to lead people on so that they believe you, and then turn on them. It always happens. For those people who say that they can’t believe they were bamboozled or hoodwinked, a pox on them, their houses, and their little dogs too.

Now that I got that off my chest, I’m here for the Big Brother 10 finale. Why not? I’ve been there for the previous 9, including one earlier this year when CBS needed content to fill because of the writer’s strike. All I have to say is that Catholic teacher Dan has been the greatest player since the season 2 version of Will. The Celebrity Big Brother version of Will wasn’t as great. But he’s been the best and I hope he wins. He deserves it. As for Memphis, I hope he doesn’t win because he’s named after a state and because he’s a womanizer. Ok, I’m kidding about that last one.

Julie Chen says it has been 71 days. That seems like eternity. Julie has also become so skinny. Her hair is actually wider than the rest of her frame. Impressive.

90210 Episode 3 – Even Scareder

September 17th, 2008 Permalink

What are they going to do now? Actually, I just want to know who knocked up Kelly and then left. Even though the child looks like a young Steven Sanders, I still think it’s THIS MAN!

  • Can Nat force feed Annie a mega burger?
  • The drama teacher had to take an indefinite leave of absence. Brenda! Brenda! Brenda!
  • So Naomi’s mom is being cheated on, she knows it, doesn’t care, and it’s between her and her husband? Is Naomi’s mom named Hilary or Kathy Lee?
  • Brenda and Kelly just started talking about Donna and both said, “Donna Martin graduates~!”
  • I just had to watch this scene back three times to understand it. Brenda says, “Does HE know about Ryan (the whiny scruffy teacher who Kelly kissed)?” For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out who she was talking about, and then I figured it out. She must be talking about Dylan. He = Dylan. I do this so you don’t have to you know. Carry on.

There was a point in yesterday’s 49ers win against the Seattle Seahawks where my dad was so surprised at something bad that happened, that he asked me, “Can you believe that?” I said, “Yes.” I can pretty much believe almost anything.

But that’s not what this post is going to be about. We are going to celebrate. We beat the Seahawks in their house in a close game that we almost always lose. Mike Martz’s offense was both a gift and a curse. It was a gift in that it enabled JT Snow’Sullivan to spread the ball around and keep Seattle huffing and puffing on defense. It was a curse in that if JT didn’t get to his first two reads, he was getting hit every time. I’m not so sure that he’s going to last the season. But lets give some kudos to some players.

Kudos go to:

  • Good old JT for hanging in there and having a pretty good game. He made some terrible throws near the end zone, but because of defensive pass interference penalties, were not the interceptions they could’ve been. But he also made some great throws. He helped Isaac Bruce regain at least 5 years of youth. Bruce had over 150 yards receiving and would’ve had a touchdown except he was running in sand while everyone else was running on grass.

It’s been 5 years since my Uncle Dave passed away and it really hasn’t seemed that long. So many things have happened in those 5 years in my life, but they seem so inconsequential as I write this compared to losing your husband, father, or grandfather, brother or uncle like my family did.

I looked at the things I’ve posted over the years and decided to link them here for everyone to read again if they wish.

In August 2003, Uncle Dave was sick and all of the family came to his house to help him get through his last days. His wife, daughters, and son were right by his side, yet he was teaching me something about life, as his was coming to an end. Click here to read.

One year later, I recapped all of my thoughts from the night he passed away. What not too many people know is that when he passed away, I was the only one in the room with Yolanda, Nicole, Brit, and Dave. I was holding his hand the entire time, while they were doing everything they could to make him feel comfortable. I felt like I shouldn’t have been in the room when it happened, but just wanted to help out in any way I could. Click here to read.

In 2005, I decided to write him a letter. I’m not even sure why. I was thinking about him pretty much that entire day and wondered what I’d say to him if he was next to me. But I did promise him to post about him every year. So far, I’ve kept that promise. Click here to read.

Two years ago, I asked for some of the family to send me their favorite Uncle Dave stories. I included them all in the post. Click here to read.

Last year, I asked my mom for some pictures of Uncle Dave as I wanted to post them on the blog. She found a few for me and I put them all into one post. Click here to check it out.

I hope that this helped everyone out as much as it helped me out. I love reminiscing about Uncle Dave. For some reason, I feel much better afterward.
