Why Must You Take the Fun Out of My Google Reader?

I love my Google Reader. All the information I desire in one simple place. I also like pictures. Pictures make articles prettier and grab a hold of my very very short attention span. So naturally when I go to Deadspin's new and improved RSS feed and see pictures magically gone with a sarcastic message that says "The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser" and the associated link goes directly to their site, I'm not particularly pleased. All it's going to end up doing is making me read less of your RSS feed because again my attention span is poop and I like pretty pictures. Also, do you seriously need to hawk for page views at every turn? And it's not like your RSS feed is already chalk full of ads, it is.


Ugh, random rant but it's just annoying.

I just googled "deadspin google reader images" to see if I was the only one annoyed by this. Glad to see someone call them out for screwing this up.

Very annoying. At least they don't put a snippet of their post with a link to the full thing. That really pisses me off.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
