Top 5 M/F Stories of the Month

Hello faithful readers.  It's a new monthly post for the Dick and Bo Show Blog.  In case you were wondering, the M/F stands for Monday and Friday.  Why?  Because these stories are so ridiculous, so boring, so utterly unimportant that you either read them on Monday, when you are trying not to start the work week, or Friday, when you are trying to end it.  These stories are packed full of completely useless information that you will have no need to recall at any point in your life...ever.  I give you the Top 5 M/F Stories of April 2009.


Number 5



The NFL's very own Detroit Lions unveiled a new logo this past month.  The team said that, "the changes are consistent with its 'sense of mission and direction'".  Riiiiiiiight, like this new fierce lion really cares what the Lions' mission and direction is.  Obviously, this logo is what's going to help them turn the corner to greatness.  I'm sure the players look at that logo with a sense of pride that they didn't have last year.  When they look at that logo, something tells them that everything will be alright.  Something tells them that, right now, no team has any wins.


Number 4

Any college football fan knows that the University of Notre Dame has been down on its luck lately.  Actually, they have been downright awful, save for a couple of years here and there.  Well, at the end of another horrible showing, Notre Dame took a few days to decide if they were going to fire their head coach, Charlie Weis.  The Associated Press via ESPN wanted you to know that Charlie talked about the possibility of leaving Notre Dame over with his family.



         












         Charlie Weis talking things over with his family

So, anyone out there care?  I didn't think so.  Besides this being completely pointless...it's also a classic case of stating the obvious.  Who wouldn't discuss a huge career move with their family?  The level of newsworthiness deteriorates from here.


Number 3

Everyone has grown tired of Terrell Owens...well, except maybe Buffalo Bills fans.  But, they will.  Soon.  In case you didn't hear, this past off season the Dallas Cowboys released Owens.  A lot was made about meetings that Owens, Tony Romo, and Jason Witten had with Cowboys offensive coordinate Jason Garrett.  Owens accused Romo and Witten of having secret plays that would exclude him from getting the ball.  Blah, blah, blah, right?  Wrong!  Apparently, we can't get enough of this nonsense.  Why do we have to hear about this!?!  Owens is on the Bills.  Witten is going to be catching passes from Romo.  It doesn't matter anymore!!!  Although, check this out.  After seeing this photo I believe that, maybe, just maybe, Owens was on to something about Witten and Romo.  Do you see the look in Witten's eyes?


Number 2

What's more pointless than predicting this year's NFL draft?  How about predicting next year's?  Somehow this guy knows what the draft order is going to be, who is going to have a good senior season, and which players aren't going to suffer career threatening injuries.  Am I missing something?  This is an interesting quote: "Here's an absurdly early look at how the 2010 first round could shape up."  Stating the obvious doesn't make up for the complete waste of time that your article is.  How can this possibly be worth reading?  And now the biggest time waster of last month.


Number 1

If you didn't read enough about their first wedding.  If you need all of the details.  If you stay up at night wondering what colors they wore for their second wedding.  This story is for you.  Yep, Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen had a second wedding.  In Costa Rica.  Awesome.  Congratulations...on your second wedding.  I guess.  Whatever.  The Dick and Bo Show was able to obtain a picture of Tom Brady on his wedding night.  A little scrawny, no?  

Well there you have it, sports fans.  It was a football heavy first edition of the Top 5 M/F Stories of the Month, but, April is the biggest month of the off season.  And it seems that the longer sports are into their off season, the more pointless they become.  Oh, if you were wondering, when we do podcasts...Dick wears a red flannel shirt and I wear a green t-shirt.  Both of us wear jeans.  Check back next month for another edition.  And stay tuned for more podcasts and blog posts to come.
