Today Brett Favre retired. Rather than trying to add analysis to something that has been covered ad nauseum, I am going to showcase his longjevity by benchmarking Brett’s career to other significant things in my life. 1991 Brett Favre: Favre’s only year not as a Packer. Throws 4 passes. Ben Koo: Third grade, learned long […]

Its been awhile since I have had a Bucknuts article. A lot of that has had to do with the fact that I am not of the school of thought that most spots talk guys are (cynical, outlandish, dwell on controversy,). I like to focus on positive stories and usually Ohio State football and basketball […]

College football and basketball recruiting is becoming more and more prevalent in main stream media. Fans spend hours on a weekly basis trying to follow the recruiting sagas that develop on a yearly basis. However the video below is one that will likely never be forgotten. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQE87qfLpqM&hl=en&fs=1

Saw 2 commercials that impressed me this week. I’ll go with the new Audi A5 commercial by a hair over the Propel commercial. Audi is having a lot of traction with 20 and 30 year old business professionals who are finding value over this luxury brand compared to that of Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes. Apple’s […]

With March around the corner, I thought I would call attention to a handful of interesting items. Also if you are bored feel free to check out my blog on ranking the sports months and see where February and March get ranked – ESPN this week got rid of Sean Salisbury but added two Buckeyes. […]

You probably have never heard of the web video rising star “I am f_ucking Ben Affleck” and are probably unfamiliar with the works of Jonathon Coulton. However via the power of new media outlets such as youtube, instant messenger, blogs, and message boards (and of course procrastination) both are poised to infiltrate the American sub […]

Haven’t seen to many new ads I like this week. Chevron has some cool advertisements about clean energy that I like, but I know its just a lot of fluff and marketing spin. I think most viewers are probably skeptical of if as well. One company that seems to be legitimately committed to improving fuel […]

Yesterday I wrote one of my more popular blogs about how I find my interest and patience waning in social networking sites like myspace and facebook. In regards to myspace, I wrote that in no way shape or form has myspace made any improvements to its interface, realizability , and ability to handle illegimate accounts […]

Initially I was thoroughly enthused with social networks like myspace and facebook. I added friends, left comments, described how I awesome I am, reconnected with people, and of course looked at pictures of people trying to out awesome me. It was great. I was by no means the king of myspace or facebook, but Ben […]

This has been probably my longest stretch at Bucknuts without an article. I have a couple of things in the works but am pretty focused on a magazine article I am writing for Bucknuts the Magazine focusing on the NFL transition for Ted Ginn, Anthony Gonzales, Antonio Pittman, and Troy Smith. I actually conducted an […]

A couple nights back I started writing the blog below, but decided not to finish it as I was not 100% sold on the idea that Kimbo Slice was a pop culture phenomena that warranted a blog. 2 days later I have seen him on ESPN for an interview and on Yahoo.com’s front page. I […]

This week I am going with this catchy satirical jingle ad by Dunkin Donuts. Its pretty obvious who they are mocking in this commercial. Starbucks is beginning to feel pressure from cheaper more basic offerings from Mcdonalds, Dunkin Donuts, and 7 Eleven. Although I already recognized a Jackie Moon commercial, I wanted to give some […]

Reports are surfacing that Toshiba backed HD-DVD will throw in the white towel following a string of setbacks that have unfolded in 2008. Back in December I predicted that sagging HD DVD sales would help the biggest studio, Warner Brothers, switch becoming a Blu Ray Exclusive studio. A month later Warner Brothers did make the […]

Two movies that I have caught my attention are the upcoming Indiana Jones and the “Stoner Action movie” Pineapple Express. I have high expectations for Indiana Jones as I have defended its potential and praised its proud history to my roommate who ignorantly claims that the new Rambo will be better (He hasnt seen it, […]

This commercial aired about a month ago and I have to label it a complete success. Mike Huckabee is the one of 2 republicans left in the race and has picked up a handful of primary wins over the past month. The below advertisement caught a lot of people’s eye and attracted a lot of […]
