It'll Never Fly

Against all my better judgment, I am going to celebrate the Riders’ victory over the Stampeders yesterday by posting a handful of entertaining football videos. If I was a superstitious person, I’d say this will come back to bite me on the ass, but I’m only slightly superstitious when it comes to the Riders. I don’t really believe this will affect the outcome of next Sunday’s game against the B. C. Lions, but if you need to look away or knock on wood, then by all means, go ahead.

I miss Kerwin Bell. He was funny.

Gordon kicked French’s ass. Might explain why Gordon’s no longer on the team, and French’s confidence at receiving has sucked all year.
The Eskies/Riders game from Mosaic Stadium several weeks ago. A little Rugby action! Almost worked, too…

Watch Gainer’s reaction right at the end. Wow, was he pumped.

And just a reminder for Sunday’s game…

Go, Riders! Go!

In no particular order:

Up a Paddle (iTunes Link)
The weekly ramblings of my buddy Kentcer. Mostly covers news and reviews of computers, video games, movies, and anime. Filled with “Angry Dome” rants and pseudo-scientific “Random Facts,” it’s both entertaining and educational.

JamesPod (iTunes Link)
Those of you from Regina or the surrounding area may remember The James and Kevin Show from Cable Regina and Access Communications. Well, James is back in his own podcast with the same witty and irreverent humour as before. Also simulcast in youtube and blip.tv.

Two Girls and a Podcast (iTunes Link)
Two great gals from New Brunswick host a show about books, movies, tv, or anything else that suits their fancy. ‘A’ is for awesome…

BLARM! (iTunes Link)
What is it with chicks from Atlantic Canada and podcasting? An audible diary of a girl named WankerGirl, including all the ups and downs that go with it. It’s another lovable, quirky podcast. She must be doing something right, as she’s now part of the PodShow Network.

Podpackers (iTunes Link)
Hosted by Heath Corson, Ned Mochel, and Krista Lally. You might already be familiar with a couple of them if you’ve seen the Cake short. A new episode comes out every two weeks. Season one has ended, but they say season two will be starting up early next year. Hard to tell if they’re acting, or genuinely shooting the breeze. Either way, it’s brilliant.

Already In Progress (iTunes Link)
Another “shootin’ the breeze” podcast. Two friends, Jason and Gary, catch eachother up on their previous days’ activities. Not sure what it is, but it’s surprisingly captivating (possibly, it’s Gary’s infectious laugh). Slightly erratic schedule, but a new episode seems to come out every few days. Each episode ends quite abruptly, usually on a funny note.

Chicken Fried Radio (iTunes Link)
I’ve referenced this podcast before. This one has been a featured iTunes podcast in the comedy section. Another ensemble cast (T E, Christian, Abby, and sometimes Ryan or a special guest). It’s not very often that a podcast comes along that has its own Wikipedia entry. Very regular schedule. Once a week; new episodes on Wednesdays. Also has its own fan forums. Based out of Austin, Texas.

Naughty Karate (iTunes Link)
Slightly musically oriented. Hosted by Jaime and Kyle, and based out of Brooklyn, New York. Quirky podcast where they talk about pretty much whatever the hell they want. Catchy theme.

Chub Creek (iTunes Link)
Two best friends from the same small town in Ontario, grow up, spread out to different parts of the country, become fathers, and find eachother online after having not seen the other in years. Amatuer musicians, Dave and Gary, write and play their original songs for the podcast, as well as doing some skits to pass the time. Due to an extended leave of absence by Gary, Dave has been hosting the show by himself lately.

This is Screaming Halibut (iTunes Link)
Weird name. Funny show. Geek humour galore. Audio sketch comedy from Toronto, Ontario, I believe. Each episode is 10 minutes long.
