(Working on a Title) Wednesday -Award Shows, Fantasy Hockey
Award Shows
Apparently the Prime Time Emmy’s were on this past Monday night. I had no idea until I was tagged in a Facebook post regarding the wonderful Weird Al Yankovic. To be honest, had I been aware I still would not have given a fuck. At this point in time there are so many award shows for entertainment it’s ridiculous. Not only do we have the traditional ones like the Emmy, Oscar, and Grammy but now it seems like every other network has their own as well. My problems with them are as follows, too long, too cliche, and not always the best people win or in some cases the right people win but for the wrong thing. I get especially upset with the last one. As of late I feel it has been far too frequent that someone or something has won just because it won the year(s) before. My most recent complaint (and the catalyst for this article) was Brian Cranston winning over Matthew McConaughey for Best Actor in A Drama. Don’t get me wrong, Cranston was amazing as Walter White but I don’t think the character went any further then he did the past few years. McConaughey on the other hand, was B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T. Now if history repeats itself, which it most certainly does, he will win for another roll a few years down the road which will no doubt be great but not as great as his roll as Detective Cohle. I don’t know about you but that just feels like a hollow victory. Another thing are the categories. How the fuck is American Horror Story a miniseries? This was the third season. Season=Series? I’m fucking confused. So I say enough and instead of dealing with all that nonsense I’ll just watch something more entertaining, catch the winners as they hit my twitter feed and watch the highlights the next day on YouTube.
Fantasy Hockey
Okay folks, if you listened to this Monday’s Binge Cast (or saw my tweet or post yesterday) you knew this was coming. Here is a link to the League page where you can sign up. Right now we have 11 spots open and most settings are set to defaults. This is my first time playing as well as managing so I’ll be happy to listen to any input from those that join. This is something I would like to become a yearly thing so hopefully we get enough people to sign up and we have some fun. If we get more interest than spots open I will figure something out. Maybe expand amount of teams and do a Division thing. Hit me up if you have any suggestions or questions.
That’ll do it for this week. Any comments, questions, or concerns? Leave ’em below. You can also follow me on twitter @jekupka Until next week I leave you with this…
