Right up there with Jerry Rice
No, you're not seeing things. Out of our desperate attempt to be rich love for giving you options, we've added a little something extra for today. Come on in and check it out!
"As you know, we've been restructuring the team in preparation for next season. I think you'll be pretty pleased with what we've come up with."
"Yeah, I've been looking at the list. Who's this Onkyo?"
"Only the most promising acquisition this team has ever seen. And you're in luck! It's right here in this box."
"That is definitely a piece of audio equipment and not a giant athletic beast of a man, which is what we need to get some wins."
"Okay, please keep an open mind about this. I grant you, Onkyo probably won't have the skills to find an open spot and make a catch."
"It can't catch anything."
Reason With Us
Need a reason to buy this? We'll give you 7.2!
Because this is a Onkyo 7.2CH A/V Receiver w/ Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, we figured what better way to tell you about it than to give you 7.2 reasons why you should buy it? Here they are:
1) It offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth audio streaming technology, six HDMI inputs, low resolution upscaling, 4K and 3D passthrough, and there's even a USB port for audio playback from a flash memory drive.
2) If you're allergic to Golden Retrievers, it doesn't mean you'll be allergic to A/V Receivers.
3) It makes you look like you know a thing or two about home theater system even if you actually have no clue what you're doing.
4) You can still use it if you're a running back, or even a quarterback!
5) It'll nicely complement your 7.2 Channel Putter.
Happy Music Monday, everyone. Scott is enjoying a little nap in the soundproof prison that I have constructed for him, which means I get to take over for a week. Pretty cool for me, huh, Scott? What's that? I can't hear you. Hahahahahahaha. That joke gets me every time. Anyway, I've decided to devote this post to one of my favorite things in music: gender bending covers! Guys redoing a girls' songs and girls redoing guys' songs. (DISCLAIMER: this isn't about gender roles or about making a statement. I just like fun covers.)

Remember The Newton
The iPad: better than a watch.
Look, we're just gonna come out and say it: Apple's trollin', right? All those secret rumors about an iWatch are just to send the competition down a blind alley, aren't they? Because there's nothing an iPad can't do better than some wrist-computer. And we've got a little list to prove it.
Stop Pickpockets - With a 4th Gen iPad (like this one here) a pickpocket has to take something the size of a newspaper from your hands. You're gonna notice that. It doesn't matter how slick they are, you're gonna notice that. With some crazy watch, though? Pickpockets had THAT technique figured out before we even knew what silicon was.

The Miracle of HD Video
Of course I don't remember being born. That's why I'm glad I was wearing a Gear Pro camera when it happened.
People make videos of so many important moments in their lives. Why not the most important one? Thanks to my Gear Pro Action Camcorder and the foresight of my parents, I've got a hi-def fetus's-eye view of my own birth! I can relive the moment that started it all just as easily as I relive my greatest moments spent mountain biking, water-skiing, and skateboarding.
The compact, lightweight cam won't bog you down when you're racing down a hillside or squeezing through a birth canal. The included case protects the camera from any fluids you might encounter during a high-speed roar around the lake, or your own labor and delivery. It's a great way to share the thrills with all my friends.
Pump it Up
These are shirts, not shoes.
This polo shirt is made by Reebok, which reminds me of Reebok Pumps. Do you guys remember Reebok Pumps? Of course you do. These things. Does anyone know if these things really worked? Like was there a real advantage to pushing that little basketball thing? Would it actually do anything? And by the way, who's idea was it to make the slogan, "Pump up, and air out"? Air out is what you do to a room after somebody farts.
You guys, I have an addiction. I'm addicted to puns. I need them. I can't get enough of them. I HUNGER FOR THEM. That's why I've set up this weekly blog feature: so you guys can feed my addiction. Every week, I'll name the topic, give you some examples, and then you'll pun away in the comments, on Facebook, or on Twitter. I'll choose the best ones and post them here next week. Sound good? Good! Let's do it!

Those are ours. Now give us yours and we'll pick our favorites next week.
Twists
We're way past a trilogy here.
A lot of blockbuster franchises don't make it past number three, but not the Google Nexus Tablet! No way, this thing is seven in and shows no signs of slowing down. But, if you're just tuning in now, don't worry. We'll get you up to speed. Here's what happened with the previous six Nexuses:
Nexus: high school-aged Nexus and his four buddies have a dream weekend planned - two nights at Nexus's stepdad's cabin on the beach. Unfortunately, the cabin is currently occupied in secret by Hal Hinnford, an escapee from a local insane asylum and former chainsaw salesman, and it looks like Nexus and his friends won't be getting out on the beach. In fact, they're lucky to get out… WITH THEIR LIVES!
Ken Jennings, of Jeopardy! fame, was a trivia-obsessed ten-year-old, and now he’s raising a few quiz kids of his own. This month he launches a new series of amazing-facts books for kids, The Junior Genius Guides. Since the first two books in the series introduce young readers to Maps and Geography and Greek Mythology, respectively, we’ve asked him to set us straight this month and debunk some popular misconceptions about classical mythology, which has always been all Greek to us. Myths about myths?! May Zeus have mercy on our souls.
