Brad Johnson Should Start Over Tony Romo

August 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’m serious.  Look at what everyone is saying about Brad Johnson’s dominating pre season performance:

2. Brad Johnson. Can we now leave Brad Johnson alone? Finished two scoring drives including a long pass play.

Leave him alone?  Give him the starting job!  And look what Spagnola has to say over at dallascowboys.com

Johnson was razor sharp, and against the Broncos’ first-team defense, mind you, completing nine of 12 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown.

To those who say his arm is shot, we give you the mighty fine 37-yard pass to Austin streaking down the right sideline. To those who say he won’t hang in the pocket, we give you the perfectly thrown five-yard fade to Austin for a touchdown. And for those who wanted to insist after the San Diego game that he is so old he can’t make good decisions anymore, we give you the 11-yard pass to tight end Martellus Bennett, a nine-yarder to Isaiah Stanback and the six-yarder to Tony Curtis, showing he’s patient enough to take what the defense during a two-minute drill will give him.

I mean even Tony Romo gets into the act:

Tony Romo did, coming up from behind the team’s oldest player, throwing his arms around his 39-year-old shoulders, and with the biggest smile you’ve ever seen proclaim, “That’s 2001 right there; that’s Brad Johnson 2001.”

Romo spoke of his immediate backup, the soon-to-be 40-year-old quarterback who had a vintage year in 2001, leading his Tampa Bay Buccaneers to the Super Bowl title, basically playing the same style of football then as so many are quick to criticize and want to retire him for now.

Brad Johnson is the only answer to the question “which QB can lead the cowboys to the super bowl”?  Don’t believe me?  Are you a Brad Johnson Hater/Doubter?  Then check out these stats:

Brad Johnson has a career passer rating of 83.1 (one year it was as high as 92.9!)…what’s Romo’s you ask?  A pathetic 96.5(worthless) and he’s already got almost 2 years of playing experience.  And Brad Johnson is clearly the more accurate passer (even though he only throws downfield and never dump offs) with a career mark of 61.8 compared to Romo’s erratic 64.4.  How Does Dallas expect to win anything with Romo?

Let’s talk TD’s.  Johnson once threw 26 TD’s in one year!  One freaking year!  So he threw 21 picks also…still 26!  Romo barely topped 35 TD’s last year.    Also, Brad knows how to get the ball downfield and show off his rocket arm with a career avg of 6.7 per attempt while Romo with his weak girly arm is afraid to go down the field and dumps the ball off at 8.3 per attempt.   You starting to get on the Brad Johnson express?

It’s pretty clear that Brad Johnson can not only still play in the NFL (he dominates in the pre season)but he just opened up an old fashioned can of quarterback controversy in Dallas (Hogeboom?).  Dallas can continue to sputter along with Romo or they can take a chance on the 39 year old young rocket arm of Brad Johnson.

My name is Brad,  Brad Johnson.

I keep the ladies in the 90’s, Cravin.

Who’s That Rocking the Spot,(It Brad Johnson)
Who’s that keepin it hot,(I’m Brad Johnson)
Who’s That Bringin the pain,(It’s Brad Johnson)

The Frontier Inn is no more.  I had the pleasure of staying at the Frontier a few years ago and oh, how I will miss the worst buffet in all of Vegas and possibly the ugliest hotel there as well.  Here’s to you Frontier…here’s to you.

Yes, it’s shocking…imagine some one cheating to get better search results…Follow the simple steps below and become one with the internet.

First, take a look at these idiots.

Next, Hold down your left mouse button to reveal the hidden text at the bottom of the page.  Feel free to use words suck as “wow”, “that’s something”, “that’s so 2002″, and “mother*!#” or whatever. 

Then, open the   Google Page.

Finally, fill out the required information.  Use this as the resulting google page: http://www.google.com/search?q=cheap+software&hl=en&start=10&sa=N

When it comes to SEO…what is Cheating?

July 20, 2007 · Leave a Comment

It’s not really an easy question to answer.  I think sometimes designers “accidentally cheat” and hide text or add text as just a way to keep the site to their taste.  Other times, designers purposely hide things and trick the user just to get better search results. 

Take a look at this crappy site.  Now, they have hidden the words “San Diego” at the top.   Not a huge deal but it is hidden text designed so that they pull up under San Diego searches. 

But, that’s not all…now look at the bottom of the page.  They have put every zip code and city in San Diego and the surrounding area.  That’s fine if they want to do that but they put the text in a very light color against that background so it barely shows up.  They are trying to hide it from their viewers but keep it for the search engines.  A very borderline SEO trick.   So are they cheaters?

I say yes they are!  And I say this because I checked out a website that they did for a client.  Here is the crappy site.   Ignore all the crap at the top and Scroll down to the bottom of the page.  They did it again.  They put in every zipcode and city in southern california.  That’s their tactic.  It’s not a mistake or one-time thing. 

I say that’s cheating and I say report’em.  Am I wrong?

SEO Cheater – Hidden Text?

July 13, 2007 · 2 Comments

These tricky bastards are using a slightly different font to disguise key words.  Technically, the text is not hidden.  If you look to the bottom of the page you will see text in a color very very similar to the color of the background.  The text is just barely visible to the naked eye. 

So why are they doing this?  Theey are stupid?  (well, yes…but there is more) They are repeating key words and phrases over and over to gain rankings.  It looks very spammy so by putting the text in a color similar to the background, they are sort of hiding it.  Not exactly but enough that it should trigger google watch…or at least Jack Bauer.

Not a good practice for a company in the biz.  Either make that text completely visible and let your spam show through or take it out.  This is your company’s homepage…you really want to trick people right off the bat?

Please report these bastards to Google Page and Yahoo here.

Here are the strings:

Presidential Debates

June 5, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I tried to watch the Democrat Debate on Sunday night but I just found myself shaking my head in disgust.  They all sound the same to me and I’m not real happy with any of them.  Of course, things get worse tonight with the Republican debate and all of their crappy candidates. 

I think the only candidate I enjoy listening to is Ron Paul, at this point.  I liked his interview on the Daily Show. 

 He looks at things from an intellectual point of view instead of from an emotional view.  We all know about his foreign policy positions but it was real telling for me  to hear him talk about domestic issues.  He has some libertarian views but he understands that people are dependent on government programs so you can’t just scrap those tomorrow.  He knows that you have to take things like that slowly so people don’t suffer. 

The whole Guliani thing still gets me.   Even Chris Todd, a democrat doesn’t understand it.  He just throws out the same old crap.
