What Else Is THAT Good?

,

Yeah, you already know the Game of Thrones is THAT good. You know the Kentucky Wildcats (and Nike) are THAT good, handling everything Kansas had to offer. And don’t kid yourself, Season 14 of Dancing with the Stars is THAT good.

But do you know what else is THAT good? Surprisingly, these from Costco.

Salted caramel seems like THE flavor combination of the moment, and Nonni’s Mini Biscotti are no exception. Just try one, and you’ll have to have another. Once that sweet and savory flavors smack you in the face, you’ll be hooked. Yes, they are THAT good.

NCAA Men's Championship Game - Kansas v Kentucky

Too many Cats – Miller, Jones, Lamb, Kidd-Gilchrist, Teague, and some freakish freshman named Davis.

Congratulations to the Kentucky Wildcats for their victory over the Kansas Jayhawks. This year’s Nike-clad Cats were just too much for the Adidas-striped Jayhawks.

Rolling it back to 1999, the championship kickscape looks like this:

That’s 12 out of the last 14 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championships going to Nike sponsored teams. Not a bad percentage (86%) at all. The most recent Adidas championship belonged to the 2008 Kansas Jayhawks. But the message is clear. If you want an excellent chance of winning your March Madness bracket, be sure to pick a Nike team.

Dancing with the Stars, Season 14 Are You Kidding Me??

Are you kidding me? Are you freakishly kidding me? Season 14 of Dancing with the Stars is it. Only on Week 3, and the performances and scores are at such a high caliber. Even the weaker performers are solid, able to shine in their own right.  Picking a favorite performance each week is simply unfair.

Week 3 featured so many tears as each star told stories of personal successes and tragedies. I lost count how many times the stars and even judges broke down and could not speak. I thought Derek Hough and Maria Menounos made a bold statement with their rendition of Madonna’s Material Girl. The lighting, the music, the choreography – D Hough at his finest!

But what shone even greater than Derek and Maria was Mark Ballas and Katherine Jenkins. Her tribute to her late father – just mesmerizing.

And lastly, you can’t talk DWTS without a mention of William Levy. Judge Bruno is going to have an aneurysm watching a bare chested William shake it on the dance floor.

Flip a coin – heads for Nike and Kentucky, tails for Adidas and Kansas.  It’s that simple, a 50-50 toss up.  What started as a significant statistically advantage  for Nike has been completed negated by the play of Team Adidas.  Crazy Light beats crazy odds.

Will it be Rise As One or All In?

DWTS Season 14, the Best Ever?

Amidst the attention of March Madness, the Game of Thrones, and Draw Something, I’ve almost forgotten about the fourteenth season of Dancing with the Stars. And what a start to the DWTS season!

It seems like every new season of a reality competition is the “best ever.” With Dancing with the Stars, Season 14 may really be the best ever. Typically, you’ll see a mix of dancing abilities, but this group features solid performers already at this early stage. The weak links are few, and none of them are shown below.

That is not Urkel.

Katherine Jenkins

She of the big voice.

William Levy

People will vote strictly for his hotness.

Skinny legs mean fast, sharp dance moves.

Final Four - Ohio State v Kansas

March Madness 2012 Kicks Analysis #6: The Final Four

, , , , , , , ,

My, oh my, how the odds have been beaten. The 2012 Tournament started with 76% of the teams (49) wearing a swoosh. The three stripes of Adidas were on 19% (12 teams) and Under Armour picking up 3 spots.

The Sweet 16 began the trend towards parity, going to 9 Nike teams to 7 Adidas teams. The Elite 8 halved the Sweet 16 teams and somewhat halved the shoe representation going from 9 to 5 Nike teams and 7 to 3 Adidas teams.

The Final Four is all tied up, two to two. Ohio State and Kentucky for Nike and Kansas and Louisville for Adidas. Both brands are even steven at 50%.

March Madness 2012 Kicks Analysis #5: Elite 8

The 2012 Sweet 16 stood with 9 Nike and 7 Adidas teams. As half have fallen, the Elite 8 stands at 5 Nike and 3 Adidas teams. They are:

  1. Syracuse (Nike)
  2. Ohio St. (Nike)
  3. North Carolina (Nike)
  4. Kansas (Adidas)
  5. Kentucky (Nike)
  6. Baylor (Adidas)
  7. Louisville (Adidas)
  8. Florida (Nike)

Last year, the 2011 field of 8 stood 7 strong with Nike and one sole Adidas. In ’08, it was a 4-all tie, and in ’07, Nike had a slight nod, 5-3 over Adidas.
