I really haven’t enjoyed Manning’s work off the football field what so ever but found this Mastercard commercial to be entertaining. Although usually one to […]

Its mildly entertaining for the majority of the audience but probably turns a lot of heads in the gaming community as the Tacoma is shown in the popular game, World of Warcraft. While some may quibble with this selection it […]

Its been awhile since their was a World Series worth watching. Regardless of the fact that the Red Sox 2004 world series win was indeed historic, the past 3 Fall classics have seen two 4 game sweeps and a pretty lackluster 5 game series between the Cards and Tigers. Even if your not a sports […]
