Happy New Year loyal Chreg readers!

Yes, both Chris and I know that we have not paid much attention to “The Chreg” since the beginning of November, but with a new year, comes a new drive to bring you the best that pop culture has to offer. 

Where does this ambition stem from you ask?  Well as Chris and I were toasting to a New Year and wondering how much hair gel was in Ryan Seacrest’s fo-hawk during Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year Eve with Ryan Seacrest, we learned of the disappointment of one devoted fan who misses our insight on who is going to win The Bachelor.  So Jeff Wilson, Temple University Director of Basketball Operations (or DOBO for short), ”this Bud is for you!”

May this year be full of B-List celebrities tripping the light fantastic, a mass man-hunt for Tiger Woods (maybe Carmen San Diego is available), and maybe a little less of Jon and Kate Gosselin (or whatever her maiden name is). 

Happy 2010 Everyone!!!

Saving “Grace”

This is a first for The Chreg; back to back posts about the same topic.  And believe me, we are just as fed up with the whole “Jon and Kate” mess as you are, but this was not worth passing up.

When your life is broadcasted every minute of everyday, your family is torn in two, and you get dumped by The Learning Channel, most people would, ya know, lay low for a little.  Not Jon Gosselin!  What does he do, he goes on The Insider.  Something tells me, he regrets that decision…

After watching that clip, one of two things will happen: Either Nancy Grace is going to guest host Monday Night Raw, or Jon is going to cry in a corner.  I’d guess the latter.

Boom!

The day has finally come..John Madden is putting down the telestrater once and for all.  The Hall of Fame coach, beloved color commentator, and video game master-mind (well sort of) is calling it quits after almost three decades of football broadcasting.

Madden, 73, will go down as one of the very few who will have worked for all 4 major television networks.  His broadcasting career began at CBS from 1979 to 1994, and then moved to FOX until 2002.  He then moved to the famed “Monday Night Football” on ABC till 2006 (and thankfully by that time those yellow blazers went out of style), and then wrapped up his career at NBC on “Sunday Night Football”.

Now, to be honest, I did not see this coming, but it doesn’t surprise me.  And here is why.  To begin my thesis, we all know Mr. Madden has a little man crush on a former quarterback…

Now who retired for the second time this off season…you guessed it.  And I mean, who could blame him.  If I had a prolonged career in broadcasting by now, I would have loved to have called it quits right along with Bob Barker.  But that is a different story. 

But, if Madden truly loves his man, his career is not over just yet.  He’ll come out of retirement, trade networks and work for the NFL Network, and maybe pick up a Wrangler Jeans endorsement.  

So we will not say goodbye Mr. Madden, just so long.  Enjoy your turducken in the mean time.

Don’t Mess with Texas

Everyone has hopes, dreams, and aspirations.  Some are attainable, others take time to achieve, and others…well…are just down right silly. 

This past Monday, actor Chuck Norris wrote in a column that appeared on WorldNetDaily that he would like to be President of Texas.  That is if Texas would secede from the United States. 

In the column Norris states, “I may run for president of Texas…That need may be a reality sooner than we think. If not me, someone someday may again be running for president of the Lone Star state, if the state of the union continues to turn into the enemy of the state.”

If this was actually possible (and that’s a big if…I mean really big), I would be perfectly fine with President Norris.  Nor would I want the United States to militarily intervene against him.  If his foreign policy is anything like Walker Texas Ranger, we would definitely be in for a true fight.  Anyone who can fight a criminal on the wing of a plane…while it’s moving…scares the living daylights out of me.

Of course, the chances of this actually occurring are slim to none.  But I have heard that Chuck Norris’ tears allow Texas to secede from the USA.  To bad Chuck Norris never cries.

Jimmy Rollins is taking advantage of his World Series title.

On Thursday, he’ll appear on The Late Show with David Letterman. We’ll see if he makes any predictions on this season while in New York City.

But more importantly, he’s featured in this commercial from Dick’s Sporting Goods. It gives a good laugh.
