The Dark Knight Rises Trailer
Thank God for Piracy. The DKR trailer was leaked over the weekend so Warner Brothers decided to go ahead and make honest women of us and release the real deal.
Thoughts
- Bane looks Badass, and I love the idea that he's a terrorist.
- Like many I've had my doubts about Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, but she is great in the trailer. Though most of it is her being Selina Kyle not Catwoman.
- From the trailer it looks as though the movie is going to be on a much larger scale than the previous two. One of the things that made the Nolanverse version of Batman so good is that its as close to real life as possible. I hope that's not lost. However I trust all things Nolan so enjoy.

A Football only look at Tim Tebow
“That part of it was very unique to me,” said Gase, who has been with two other NFL teams as an assistant. “I never heard of a college guy who would know so much about offenses outside of college.”
Summary: Tebow's Preparation is off the charts. When he interviewed for the combine he knew most of the teams offenses. He also is the first one ton practice and the last one to leave. His preparation is borderlkine obsessive texting is offensive coordinator in the wee hours of the morning.
“Everything has to do with his feet,” Gase said. “Before, his body was going in one direction and his arm was going in another direction. As we get him more balanced, his throws become smoother and more accurate.”
Many seem to think that Tebow's throwing motion is ok but he can improve other things like his footwork. This remains to be seen, I can't ever see him ever being a successful passer with that throwing motion.
No one knows what's going to happen with Tebow but whether he succeeds or fails won't be from a lack of effort.

God's Quarterback
In the case of Mr. Tebow, what seems to fuel many of his fans—and to drive many
of his critics crazy—is not so much his evangelical faith itself but the
equanimity and generosity that his faith inspires in him. Can he really mean it
when he says that football isn't that important to him, that he caresmoreabout
transcendent things?

Movies I'm excited about
Denzel is my favorite actor by far but that's another blog post. Anything he appears in I'm pretty much down for. However safe house combines my love of Denzel with my love of Spy-Fi. Denzel looks bad ass in this movie as only Denzel can. Oh yeah Ryan Reynolds is in it too.
Kolb helped beat the Eagles without taking a snap.
According to Philly.com. Kevin Kolb shared his knowledge of the Eagles playbook and tendencies to his new team. This would explain why the Eagles had such an awful time with the putrid Zona Defense. Below is a quote from Kolb.
"During the two-minute drill, you almost feel guilty," Kolb said with a laugh. "Mike's sitting there giving the signals, and I'm standing there on our sideline, screaming at our corners: 'Hey, it's a go ball. Hey, he's running a screen. Hey, he's running a slant."
Seems rather obvious that you would change things up when facing your former starting Qb. But hey maybe that's just me.
