Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Tony Curtis in 2010's Dead Celebrities:
Curtis was a prolific actor, but most of his work was before my time. His name was easily recognizable, but I couldn't have told you any of the work he was known for.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Greg Giraldo in 2010's Dead Celebrities:
Giraldo was a pretty decent comic who has been featured on many Comedy Central programs over the years. I've been pretty familiar with his comedy for a while now, and its sad to hear that he died so young because of an overdose. Many comedians seem to struggle with depression, and it appears Giraldo must have had some demons. Its a loss for fans of comedy, but at least he left behind some good humor to be remembered by.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Dick Butkus in Pro Football Hall of Fame Members:
A Hall of Fame football player with a Hall of Fame name. When you talk about all time defensive greats, Butkus is one of the guys you can count on one hand to be there.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed George Blanda in 2010's Dead Celebrities:
Blanda's career took place well before my time, but he is one of the legends of football and I definitely knew of his accomplishments. He was a tough player who had the longest career of anybody to ever play professional football. Now the last few years of his career were solely as a kicker, but he played quarterback into his forties, and was one of the most accomplished passers of his era. There is surely no tragedy in passing away at eighty-three, especially for a guy who put his body on the line for so long. He will be missed by football fans, but he appears to be a guy who lived a long, fulfilling life.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Baltimore Ravens in Who Will Win the 2011 Super Bowl:
The Ravens defense is still incredibly strong, having not given up a touchdown yet in their first two games. They lost a tough one today against the Bengals, but that was on the road against a pretty good team. With the addition of some more offensive weapons, I see the Ravens winning a few more games than last season. They should battle the Bengals for the top spot in the AFC North, but I see both of them making it to the playoffs.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Minnesota Vikings in Who Will Win the 2011 Super Bowl:
After two weeks I seriously wonder if the Vikes would be better off with Tarvaris Jacckson as quarterback. Favre is a great player, but to think he could duplicate what he did last season is unrealistic. Minnesota has a good defense and running game, but their passing attack played over its heads last season. Favre will make more mistakes, especially with an ankle that isn't 100% on a guy who recently became a grandfather. They have an 0-2 hole to dig their way out of, and since each of the other NFC North teams seemed to have improved from 09 to 10, I don't see Favre and Co. making it back to the playoffs.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Cincinnati Bengals in Who Will Win the 2011 Super Bowl:
The Bengals dominated the AFC North last season, but came up empty in the postseason. Bad timing for them to lose a big game was their only problem. They have a pretty solid defense, despite their week one loss to the Pats. Marvin Lewis has had them playing well on that side of the ball for a long time, and the offense looks to have improved since last year. Adding Owens as well as the rookies Shipley and Gresham gives Carson Palmer a lot more options to throw to then he had last year. It might mean that individual players won't put up huge numbers, but New Orleans has shown that spreading the ball around amongst a lot of weapons can be a good thing. Cincy should be a playoff team again in 2010, and possibly compete for the AFC's Super Bowl berth.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Atlanta Falcons in Who Will Win the 2011 Super Bowl:
The Falcons have a good chance to make the playoffs since I see the NFC East beating up on each other, and only one team coming out of the NFC West. Their offense is pretty solid with Matt Ryan, Roddy White, a healthy Michael Turner, and a pretty good supporting cast. The Saints are tough but not unbeatable, and the Panthers and Bucs aren't much to write home about. Atlanta will probably end up with a wild card spot

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Dallas Cowboys in Who Will Win the 2011 Super Bowl:
The Cowboys had a great season last year when their whole team stayed incredibly healthy. This year they head into the regular season with injury issues along their offensive line, who did not look particularly good during the preseason. The Cowboys will probably make the playoffs, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't either. I think the NFC East is a lot more wide open then some expect it to be. Dallas will be good, but I don't expect them to be dominant.
