No TV and Internet makes Bjorn something something...

note: this blog was written on the night of February 2nd. unedited and released for your pleasure today.


At about 12:15a.m. tonight both the cable and internet went out at my household. What does one do at 12:15 at night when both the internet and tv go out? Well me and Scott (thats right, me and Scott. not Scott and I) wondered the same. So we sat on the couch and thought of things to do. About 20 minutes had passed and we were both still sitting on the couch trying to figure out something to do. Finally Scott decided to retire for the night and I was here on the couch to defend for myself. Before Scott leaves we decide the only thing for me to do is watch a movie. I scroll through all my movies and find nothing that interests me. Then I get to the very back of my dvd case. And if anyone has seen my case of dvds, the back is filled with 2 things. TV episode boxsets and random wrestling dvds. Not in the mood for sitcoms, I decide upon writing a blog and watching wrestling. So here I am at about 1a.m. watching wrestling with intentions of writing a very long, very great blog. And for all you wrestling marks who are wondering what I am watching: ECW Heatwave 1998. One of the greatest PPVs ever. So great I could break down the whole thing if I wanted to, but instead I'll break down what's really good in sports (and beer pong).

SUPER BOWL XLI
Chicago Bears (-7) vs Indianpolis Colts.
If my internet was working I would give you the total points bet as well, but since its not I'm left with just the spread. Everyone and their mom is picking the Colts. That makes me want to pick the Bears. And I don't even like the bears. Infact, one could argue I hate the bears. Infact, I think Rex Grossman is probably one of the most donk quarterbacks to ever set foot on an NFL field. So where am I going with all this bears hate? Hard to say really. All I know is the Colts are the huge, huge favorite and that is never a good thing. If the money line for the Bears was a measly +195, I'd be all over that. Anything can happen in the Super Bowl, so I'm saying Bears -7. (note: I said saying, not betting. Give me some good odds on the money line and I'll bet the Bears, but until then, I'm sticking to straight prop bets this year.)

WEEKEND UPDATE: BEER PONG
Sorry for the lack of updates, but I have been busy as of late and was not able to give you the update from the weekends happenings. There was an exhibition last Friday Night inwhich the #1 Ranked Boom Squad went 7-0. Taking on all opponents, noone really ever stood a chance except for the very first match of the evening where Josh W. and Steve took the greatest tag team ever assembled into a double overtime match. But in the end, they really stood no chance. In singles competition, Josh G. challenged Josh W. to his #5 seeding and then took the #5 seeding away from Josh Wray. These two would later rematch for the 5 seed and after very poor piss disipline and a knocked over cup later, Josh Wray was able to recapture his #5 seed. Josh Wray then decline anymore beer at approximately 2a.m. which leads to a whole other discusion: Cab a man hold a world ranking with a beer decline? This will be discussed in later updates.

OTHER BEER PONG NEWS
The number 1 ranked Beer Ponger in the World, Steve, has decided to put up his world ranking versus number 2 ranked Bjorn in an Iron Man challenge like no other. Rumor has it that the preliminary contract is written up for a best of 35 (yes, thirty five. meaning the winner needs to win 18). These matches will be contested over a series of nights and will show who is the true number 1 world ranking.
There is also talks about how both the world singles and tag team titles will be decided. The rumor as of now is a 2-day long event, inwhich anyone and everyone can enter the tournament and battle for the right to be called World Beer Pong Champion. More news on this event as we get it folks.

2:15 update- cable and internet are back!
2:18 update- cable and internet go back down!

CARMELO SNUBBED AS ALL STAR???
Is it just me, or is this bullshit? How can the highest scoring player in the league not be on the all star team? Melo has taken heat ever since he entered the league and I see no reason for it. Maybe he isn't the best image for the league off the court, but you cannot deny what he does on the court. Before his suspension, he was the best offensive player in the league, bar none. As much as everyone does not want to say it, but he is just as much the future of the NBA as Dwanye Wade and Lebron James. Just because he is looked as a "thug," shouldn't take away what he does on the hardwood. You can take a man out the hood, but you can't the hood out the man.

THE 2nd COMING
Is it just me, or do these Nike basketball commercials rule? Seriously. All the best young up and coming players (+ Steve Nash) ballin' out on an air force base with Juelz Santana droppin' bombs over a sick beat. What's not to like?

POKER AFTER DARK
If you are like me and are awake at 2:30 in the morning then you realize the lack of quality television at such an hour. Well not anymore! NBC has put together what I think is the 2nd best poker show on television (1st being high stakes poker, of course). The premise of the show is a one table sit-n-go and it takes place throughout the whole week. Each week a new set of 6 top poker players play a freezeout tournament for $125,000 (I think, I really don't even pay attention to how much they play for). The great part about this show is that there is very little commentary and very little cut in actual action. This allows the viewer to see how professionals play ever hand, instead of just key hands that they show in programs like the world series on espn or world poker tour on the travel channel. In this show you see every hand leading up to the big ones. The other part I love so much about this show is they let the players talk, and on this show they talk about everything. I hate when the commentators chime in with some stupid joke when Doyle Brunson is telling us about how he lost $50,000 in the Bellagio bathroom and was trying to find out where the fuck it went. On this show all the players talk, and they talk about anything and everything! On last night's show, Doyle bet Antonio Esfandiari 10 grand that if Hillary Clinton is the democratic nominee, she will be the next president. If that's not good television, I don't know what is. Plus it's hosted by Shana Hyatt. And in the words of Wayne Cambell - Shwing! So if you have nothing to do at 2:30 in the moring, or if you are an avid poker fan like myself, tune in or tivo Poker After Dark every night at 2:30 on NBC.

Beer Pong: America's Next Great Past time?

Anyone who has ever stepped foot inside a college house party has noticed that crowd of unruly, competitive group of guys (and sometimes girls) huddled around a ping-pong or other long table. To the unaware, this may look like just a bunch of drunks throwing a ping-pong ball into cups for no apparent reason. But there is a great reason. Beer Pong. A game of skill, psychological warfare, and drinking combined into one great game. Every person plays the game different, so I will briefly explain our rules. 6 cups per side formed into a triangle (3-2-1), filled with 2 beers. If you throw a ball into a cup, that is one cup eliminated. Bouncing a ball into a cup counts for two. If you make both of your balls in one turn, it eliminates both cups and the balls are given back to the shooters. If you make the same cup with both balls, an extra cup is eliminated (3 total) and the balls are given back. You are given 1 rerack of cups whenever you choose. We also play the NBA Jam rule, where if you make 2 cups in a row, you call out "heating up." If you make your next shot, you call out "he's on fire!" and you are given the ball back and continue to shoot until you miss a shot. Teams can be played with teams of 2 or one vs one (a true test of beer pong skill). This is the way we at Tecmo Super Blog play. I know some of you love your 10 cup games, but we like to drink and sitting out sucks so 6 cups goes the right amount of time for everyone there to have a good time.

And now I bring you the wold rankings for both the singles and tag team titles. These rankings will be updated weekly and a small recap of the weekends events will be given.

11. If you were a Major League Baseball player, what song would you play before your at-bats?: I would loop the beginning of Cam'ron's "Gangsta Music part 2" where it opens with "Can I get a chea here, chea there. Up down left right chea chea chea chea"

Meet Your Blogger

1. Name: Josh
2. Favorite Sports Team: Arizona Cardinals. I'm the most excited and disappointed fan every year. Watch out for the Cards next season! I can not answer this question fully without mentioning the Suns. I even enjoy the games where the Suns have a 35 point lead going into the fourth (that means more Jalen Rose...always a bonus). My entire family is from Philly and grew up as your typical Philly fan. My dad nearly missed a plane flight to Phoenix on his wedding day because the Eagles were finishing a playoff game and he didn't want to leave the airport bar until he saw the finale. Anyway, I grew up wearing and learning sports through the Eagles, Sixers, and the Phillies. I still have much love for Philadelphia sports but have lived in Phoenix my whole life and would root for the Cardinals and the Suns over the Eagles and the Sixers in any game.
3. Favorite Sports Team of All Time (one certain year): '01-'02 Seton Catholic High School Varsity Basketball Team. They had a wicked cool point guard.
4. Favorite Current Athlete: Easy. No questions asked. Leandro "The Brazilian Blur" Barbosa. Blur make basket.
5. Favorite Athlete of All Time: Blur. However, since I don't want the same answer twice, I will say Sir Charles Barkley. Loved watching him play and still love listening to him talk (despite the fact that he's always hating on the Suns). Besides, any man brave enough to throw a ball at and tackle Shaq is up there in my book.
6. Favorite Movie: That's tough. Depending on the time, place and mood I'm in it is any of the following: Rocky I-VI (barring V, not to say I don't have love for V but I can't honestly list it as one of my favorite movies), The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (yes, I'm a Rings geek), White Men Can't Jump, Rudy, Snatch, Sandlot and all Kevin Smith flicks.
7. Favorite TV Show: Also tough. One of the following: Rob and Big, The Office, or High Stakes Poker
8. Favorite Quote: "Yo baby, yo baby, you ever had your asshole licked by a fat man in an overcoat?" -Jay
9. Prediction Time, Who is the next MJ? Jarryd Bayless. Best high school athlete I've ever seen (including Bibby).
10. Failed prediction time. What was your worst sports prediction ever?: Dwayne Wade will not be good in the pros. Not sure what I was basing that on but I constantly hear how wrong I was by the man, the myth, the legend...Steve Novak (not the Marquette donk. Rather the center on that Seton team I mentioned earlier). Close second: I thought it was ridiculous that the Eagles would draft Donovan McNabb over Ricky Williams. Close third: I thought the Suns were stupid for drafting a high school kid in 2002 (Amare ended up ok I guess)
11. If you were a Major League Baseball player, what song would you play before your at-bats?: "Stay Fly" -Three 6 Mafia
12. Favorite Moment in Sports History: May 2, 2006. First round of the NBA playoffs. Suns v Lakers. Game 6. 7:33 left in the 4th. Raja Bell closelining Kobe Bryant.

The Tecmo Blog is who we thought they were...

that's why we started the damn blog!

Over the past 6 months, avid tecmo blog readers were filled with quality reports and insight into the west coast sports scene. But then something awful and disturbing happened. The tecmo bloggers became bored with their 4 play calls and inferior 8-bit system. These inferiorities have led to blogs written on hockey, soccer, and did I mention hockey? Not to mention the lack of Gilbert Arenas in nearly every blog.

This is why we have taken the damn field! There will be no hockey discussion. No soccer debates. And certainly a lot of Agent 0 commentary. Unlike the tecmo blog with only a 12 team roster of knowledge, at Tecmo Super Blog, we bring you a full 28 teams of witty sport and pop culture banter. Like Deion Sanders, we will cover all aspects of life, whether on or off the screen of play.

What you should expect from your Tecmo Super Bloggers? We will provide you with reflections on current sporting issues, up to date beer pong rankings, other non-mainstream sports (that are not hockey and soccer) including mixed martial arts, poker and anything you can bet on, & special reports from the female perspective of Nicole and the Tootse. You can also expect guest blogs from other great personalities. Blogging while intoxicated is not only accepted, but highly encouraged.

We must emphasize once again that there will be no hockey or soccer references, except for when we are openly criticizing why these sports even exist. If these harsh negativity's toward soccer and hockey offend you, then we do not want you as our readers anyway. Please click the X in the top right corner immediately and never come back. We look forward to bringing you great blogs daily and may God have mercy on your soul.
