POD BOWL 0 CHAMPION:
Ardent Atheist With Emery Emery


Now, from the top...

Okay, so the final match of Pod Bowl 2011 just ended, but I'm going to consider it a trial run. Let's just call it "Pod Bowl 0".

The main bug of the format was that some of the favorites failed to post a weekly episode, so they got bounced. The best fix I can come up with is to make each round a best-of-3. So today we begin collecting episodes dated Sep 5-11 for the first third of the first round. The field will again be 32, and the whole tournament will take place over the next 15 weeks. (Why do I do this to myself?)

Yeah, I know...look, Mr. C's been busy trying to keep up with baseball, and I've been busy trying to keep the bills paid. Deal with it.

POD BOWL 2011

Now that I've long-ago given up on ALF Cup competition, since ALF is clearly my undisputed all-time TV ratings champ, and now that radio is officially dead and buried and decomposed, and now that I have two jobs during which I can listen to the dozens of podcasts I subscribe to, it's time to begin a new tradition.

Starting this month, and repeating every August for the foreseeable future, I will be conducting an annual podcast tournament to determine a yearly "Pod Almighty", if you will. Each year, 32 podcasts will qualify for a 5-week bracket tournament starting 5 weeks before Labor Day.

This year, podcast episodes dated August 1-7 have been saved up and are squaring off during the week of August 8-14, while podcasts dated that week will compete the following week, and so on, until the final which will be held on Labor Day.

The bracket was filled out using a system which, frankly, I won't bore you with. Here are the first-round matchups, from top-to-bottom:

2011 POD BOWL--FIRST ROUND
Jordan Jesse Go vs The Rachel Maddow Show
Hypothetical Help vs This Week With Larry Miller
Fitzdog Radio vs Distorted View Daily
SnydeRemarksRadio vs The Twin Peaks Podcast
Never Not Funny vs Countdown With Keith Olbermann
The Joe Rogan Experience vs How Did This Get Made
Comedy Bang Bang vs The Apple Sisters
Comedy Film Nerds vs Mike And Tom Eat Snacks
Paul And Storm vs Todd N Tyler
The Gentlemen's Club vs Doug Loves Movies
StarTalk vs Affirmation Nation
The Bugle vs WTF With Marc Maron
Breaking Bad Insider vs STFU Show
The Nerdist vs The Smartest Man In The World
Legacy Of Laughs vs CBC Radio 3 Track Of The Day
Risk vs Ardent Atheist


Analysis:
Expect Maddow to beat JJ Go, and Miller to get a virtual bye vs the absent Hypo Help. DV Daily should have no problem with Fitzdog, and SnydeRemarks might also get a virtual bye vs absent Twin Peaks (a shame since they were coming up on the reveal ep!)

KO should KO NNF, and Rogan vs HDTGM is almost a tossup, but expect Rogan's long runtime to hurt his chances. Then things get tough, with Earwolf stablemates CBB and the Apples going head-to-head (bet on the Sisters unless CBB bags a top-notch guest). And MATES should get by CFN, leading to a potential marquee 2nd-rd match between the Apples and MATES.

In a 2-on-2 match, P&S should bounce TnT. DLM should beat G-Club, and an absent StarTalk will give a bye to Bob Ducca. Look for Bugle to upset WTF, and B-Bad to make STFU, well, STFU.

In what has to be the biggest match of the week, I see Proops over Nerdist in what might be a close one. CBC3 Track Du Jour should knock out LOL, and finally, AA should not be at risk vs Risk.

Now, you might have noticed a glaring omission. Where, you may ask, is Steve Dahl? Well, Dahl was of course the odds-on favorite during the tourney's early planning stages. But it was decided right off the bat that this tournament would be open to FREE PODCASTS ONLY, and unfortunately shortly thereafter Dahl priced himself right out of the whole dance.

Not only that, but in a move similar to your typical beauty pageant, it has also been decided that it will be the duty of the winning podcast to remain free of charge for the following year to retain the title. If the winning podcast is unable to fulfill its duty, the runner-up will assume the title.

And with that, let the carnage begin!

MR. COLOREDWELL'S SPORTS FASHION REPORT

Okay, first let's get caught up with my March notes, of which there were only 2, and both Toronto-based...

Finally got a look at the Maple Leafs in March, and as expected they are fabulous. And the Raptors wore green the day before St Patty's. But they still had that half-belt crap like the Mavs. What a waste.

And then just this afternoon...Ick. The Celtics in green with black trim, including spooge. Ick. It's so bad I had to give a win to Miami. And I hate Miami!

***

Yes, the rumours are true, I've been taking notes on Major League Baseball unis. What am I, goofy?! To be fair, most of the baseball teams are actually dressing quite well. Lots of block numbers and not a speck of spooge. Here's my notes so far...

The Cleveland Indians have some very good throwbacks this year. Creamy goodness!

The Milwaukee Brewers were in throwbacks April 8. How great is their old mitt logo? A classic! So, of course, they ditched

it for their current shitty look.

The Atlanta Braves have a very nice red jersey for Sunday games.

***

Now, a quick review of college basketball unis during March Madness...

Top 9 best-dressed, in alphabetical order:
CLEMSON: Orange with purple trim, lovely colors.
DUKE: No mistakes in white. (Didn't see them in blue.)
GEORGETOWN: The light is grey, follow the path.
MCNEESE STATE: Yellow with blue trim, very cute.
MOREHEAD STATE: Looking good in blue, but they'd make the list on the name alone!
NORTH CAROLINA: Didn't get to see their light blue uni, but it still looks good as trim on white.
OHIO STATE: The light is grey, follow the path.
PURDUE: In gold, priceless.
UCLA: Either in blue or white, with gold trim, Bruins look just as awesome as in football.
All the above had block numbers and no spooge. We have a 3-way tie for 10th with a few problems:
BUTLER: In white their one flaw emerged, a bit of blue spooge on the shorts, which I then noticed was just barely detectable on their black uni.
RICHMOND: The Spideys looked good in blue or white, but in red they had spooge.
WASHINGTON STATE: The light is grey, follow the path. But lose the occasional "COUGS" on the front. It's just dumb.

As for the worst-dressed, ugly number fonts and spooge were rampant, so there were plenty of candidates to choose from. But the one uni that drooped far below the rest was the disgusting droopy-drawers look of...
WOFFORD
The rest of the 20 worst-dressed, in alphabetical order:
(see previous posts for how they got on this list)
BOSTON COLLEGE
BUCKNELL
CALIFORNIA
CINCINNATI
COASTAL CAROLINA
FLORIDA
FLORIDA STATE
KANSAS
MARQUETTE
MIAMI FL
MICHIGAN STATE

Let's get these off my plate while I work on a full report which I hope to post Sunday...

NIT FINAL FOUR:

WASHINGTON STATE (grey) VS WICHITA STATE (black)
Both blocks. Wich has spooge. "Cougs" is back...ick. Still, Wash follows the Path.
WINNER: WASHINGTON STATE

COLORADO (grey) VS ALABAMA (red)
Col follows the Path, but with italic blocks and leg crap. Bama looks good in red, no spooge. Non-blocks but they're not

ugly.
WINNER: ALABAMA

NIT FINAL: ALABAMA (white) VS WICHITA STATE (black)
Bama's non-blocks beat Wich's spooge.
WINNER: ALABAMA

NCAA FINAL FOUR:
BUTLER (white) VS VCU (black)
Both blocks. Spooge on Butler? Ick! But VCU's is much worse.

CONNECTICUT (white) VS KENTUCKY (blue)
Both have side crap. UConn has a bad font, KY has blocks and nice shade of blue.
WINNER: KENTUCKY

NCAA FINAL: CONNECTICUT (white) VS BUTLER (black)
No surprises here. Knew going in Butler's black and blocks would beat UConn's ugly skinny numbers and leg crap.
WINNER: BUTLER

Tuesday, April 05, 2011

Out of respect for the late Roger Abbott, Mr. Coloredwell's next report will be posted later this week. Meanwhile, please enjoy the tribute clips below.

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FASHION REPORT

Elite 8...ah, aliteration!

FLORIDA (white) VS BUTLER (black)
Butler: no mistakes. Florida: all mistakes. No contest.
WINNER: BUTLER

CONNECTICUT (white) VS ARIZONA (blue)
No blocks, no spooge. Useless side crap. UConn's numbers are too skinny.
WINNER: ARIZONA

KANSAS (white) VS VCU (black)
Both spooged. At least VCU has blocks.
WINNER: VCU

NORTH CAROLINA (white) VS KENTUCKY (blue)
Both blocks, no spooge. Only real flaw is that rectangle.
WINNER: NORTH CAROLINA

And with that we're down to the Final Four, but before that I'll have my month-ending report covering all sports. All the #1's are gone, and if that's not March Madness I don't know what is. ONE...STEP...BEYOND!!!

Saturday, March 26, 2011

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FASHION REPORT

This Sweet 16 has left me bitter. Here it is anyway...

SAN DIEGO STATE (white) VS CONNECTICUT (blue)
SDSU has blocks and a tapered pant stripe, but it's not spooge. UConn has a bad non-block font.
WINNER: SAN DIEGO STATE

FLORIDA (white) VS BYU (blue)
Both badly spooged. BYU's blocks beat Florida's fugly font. Say that 5 times fast!
WINNER: BYU

DUKE (white) VS ARIZONA (blue)
No probs with Duke. Probs with Zona.
WINNER: DUKE

WISCONSIN (white) VS BUTLER (black)
Butler's basic black and blocks whip Wisconsin's wimpy white. I am an aliteration animal!
WINNER: BUTLER

NORTH CAROLINA (white) VS MARQUETTE (yellow)
UNC has blocks and the light blue trim. Marquette has non-blocks and a stupid dashed line down the side, like Temple football but worse.
WINNER: NORTH CAROLINA

KANSAS (white) VS RICHMOND (red)
Both spooged. Spiders win on blocks.
WINNER: RICHMOND

OHIO STATE (white) VS KENTUCKY (blue)
Ouch. OSU lost. Should've worn grey and followed the Path. Anyhoo, both blocks, no spooge. I would give this to KY except for that clunky white rectangle on the shorts.
WINNER: OHIO STATE

FLORIDA STATE (white) VS VCU (black)
Both spooged. VCU wins on blocks.
WINNER: VCU

Next report after the weekend's games.

Thursday, March 24, 2011

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FASHION REPORT

MIAMI FL (white) MISSOURI STATE (maroon)
Miami has the same ugly numbers from football but no spooge. Miz St has blocks but they're black on maroon, and they have black spooge. At least I can read Miami's ugly numbers.
WINNER: MIAMI FL

ALABAMA (white) VS NEW MEXICO (red)
No blocks. Bama is plain but no spooge. NM has Buckeye colors but a bad case of spooge.
WINNER: ALABAMA

WASHINGTON STATE (grey) VS OKLAHOMA STATE (orange)
OSU has a good orange but a bad font. WSU has blocks and Buckeye colors. The uni is grey, follow the Path. Only problem with WSU uni is that it stupidly says "COUGS".
WINNER: WASHINGTON STATE

COLORADO (grey) VS KENT STATE (blue)
Both blocks, Col's are italic. No spooge, but both have side crap. Kent still needs some shiny gold shorts. In a close call...the uni is grey, follow the Path.
WINNER: COLORADO

WICHITA STATE (white) VS CHARLESTON (maroon)
Wichita has shadowed blocks and huge spooge. CoC has blocks and side crap.
WINNER: CHARLESTON

ALABAMA (white) VS MIAMI FL (black)
'Canes in black with their ugly orange numbers. Ick. Gotta go with boring 'Bama.
WINNER: ALABAMA

WASHINGTON STATE (white) VS NORTHWESTERN (purple)
Both blocks and good colors. NU a teensy bit spoogish on the side.
WINNER: WASHINGTON STATE

Next report will cover the Sweet 16, playing Thursday and Friday. See you then, Sweeties!

Sunday, March 20, 2011

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FASHION REPORT

This weekend's games:

BOSTON COLLEGE (white) VS NORTHWESTERN (purple)
BC still with those ugly numbers. NU has blocks and decent colors, so I'll overlook the side crap.
WINNER: NORTHWESTERN

KENTUCKY (white) VS WEST VIRGINIA (black)
Both blocks, no spooge. WV actually looks good (other than dark blue numbers on black, but with the yellow outline, still readable). Go fig. KY's blocks a bit skinny.
WINNER: WEST VIRGINIA

FLORIDA (white) VS UCLA (blue)
No contest. Gators have everything wrong, Bruins have everything right.
WINNER: UCLA

RICHMOND (white) VS MOREHEAD STATE (blue)
Both very well-dressed. Edge to Morehead on colors (and of course the name).
WINNER: MOREHEAD STATE

SAN DIEGO STATE (white) VS TEMPLE (black)
Both looking clunky in this game. SDSU on blocks.
WINNER: SAN DIEGO STATE

PITTSBURGH (white) VS BUTLER (black)
No spooge, both blocks, although Pitt's are shadowed. The Butler does it with a clean black and white uni. Hey, just like a butler! "Your basket-ball, sir."
WINNER: BUTLER

BYU (white) VS GONZAGA (black)
Both repeat their looks from Thursday. And again, it comes down to "OO-GONZAGA OOGA OOGA OO-GONZAGA OOGA OOGA..."
WINNER: GONZAGA

WISCONSIN (white) VS KANSAS STATE (purple)
No blocks, bad fonts. KSU at least has purple. Badgers have spooge.
WINNER: KANSAS STATE

CONNECTICUT (white) VS CINCINNATI (black)
Both bad fonts. Cincy has their usual sickening spooge.
WINNER: CONNECTICUT

VIRGINIA TECH (white) VS WICHITA STATE (black)
Both blocks, Wichita has spooge.
WINNER: VIRGINIA TECH

NORTH CAROLINA (white) VS WASHINGTON (black)
No contest. UNC, with light blue blocks, has it together. Washington, dark purple numbers on black? In a shitty font? With spooge? An atrocity.
WINNER: NORTH CAROLINA

DUKE (white) VS MICHIGAN (yellow)
Both blocks, no spooge. I hate UM but they actually look nice, good thing they don't wear helmets! But against a solid Duke uni...not a chance.
WINNER: DUKE

OHIO STATE (grey) VS GEORGE MASON (green)
Aw, is that spooge I see on GM? Ruins an otherwise good uni. Doesn't matter, because OSU is sporting their excellent "Geno" wardrobe.
The Buckeyes follow the Path
The Path is the Way
The Way is the Light
The Light is Grey.

WINNER: OHIO STATE

TEXAS (white) VS ARIZONA (blue)
No blocks but no spooge. Almost a toss-up. Slight font edge to Zona.
WINNER: ARIZONA

PURDUE (gold) VS VCU (black)
Both blocks. VCU has good colors but bad spooge. Purdue sets the gold standard!
WINNER: PURDUE

KANSAS (white) VS ILLINOIS (orange)
Ugly fonts. KU has spooge. Illinois has orange.
WINNER: ILLINOIS

NOTRE DAME (white) VS FLORIDA STATE (red)
ND has blocks. Both have spooge, but FSU's is far worse.
WINNER: NOTRE DAME

Next report will cover Monday thru Wednesday's NIT games.

Saturday, March 19, 2011

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FASHION REPORT

It's time for March Madness! ONE...STEP...BEYOND!

WEST VIRGINIA (white) VS CLEMSON (orange)
Both blocks. WV has some really bad Cincy-style spooge. Clem's got the nice orange and purple combo.
WINNER: CLEMSON

LOUISVILLE (white) VS MOREHEAD STATE (blue)
Both blocks. Lou is a tad spoogy. Morehead has pretty colors and no mistakes, plus how can you not LOVE their name?!
WINNER: MOREHEAD STATE

TEMPLE (white) VS PENN STATE (blue)
Owls have non-blocks and some spooge, but at least it's not dashes. PSU has some pretty dumb spooge, but wins on blocks.
WINNER: PENN STATE

KENTUCKY (white) VS PRINCETON (black)
No probs with KY. (I never have probs with KY!) Princeton has black spooge on black.
WINNER: KENTUCKY

VANDERBILT (white) VS RICHMOND (blue)
Vandy has circus numbers. Spiders have a solid uni. My Spidey sense is tingling!
WINNER: RICHMOND

SAN DIEGO STATE (white) VS NORTHERN COLORADO (blue)
Both blocks. SDSU's pant stripe just a tad spoogy.
WINNER: NORTHERN COLORADO

FLORIDA (white) VS UCSB (blue)
Both suck. FL has a hideous font and very bad spooge. SB has an ugly font and squares down the side. Lesser of two eyesores.
WINNER: UCSB

BYU (white) VS WOFFORD (black)
Ick. Both blocks, both bad spooge. But Wofford's spooge may be the worst of all. They have a droopy-drawer look. Who designed them, Philip from Survivor? No, if he did they'd be fuchsia!
WINNER: BYU

CONNECTICUT (white) VS BUCKNELL (orange)
UConn has a bad font. Bucknell has a bad font, bad spooge, and that stupid half-a-belt shit.
WINNER: CONNECTICUT

UCLA (white) VS MICHIGAN STATE (green)
Bruins uni is flawless. MSU has the same stupid numbers as their football team.
WINNER: UCLA

ST JOHN'S (white) VS GONZAGA (black)
St John's has a clumsy logo and non-blocks. Zags have blocks and a weird arrow pointing down the side. I'll admit it, the deciding factor is "OO-GONZAGA OOGA OOGA OO-GONZAGA OOGA OOGA I CAN'T STOP THIS FEELIN'!..."
WINNER: GONZAGA

CINCINNATI (white) VS MISSOURI (black)
Cincy's uni is virtually identical to their disgusting football uni. Mizzou's is not, which is just good enough.
WINNER: MISSOURI

BTW, just so you don't think I haven't noticed, every basketball team I've seen, college and pro, has worn the same color from neck to knee. Why is that?

TEXAS (white) VS OAKLAND (black)
No blocks. Oak has a bit of spooge.
WINNER: TEXAS

NOTRE DAME (white) VS AKRON (blue)
Both have spooge, Akron's is worse. ND has blocks.
WINNER: NOTRE DAME

GEORGE MASON (white) VS VILLANOVA (blue)
Both side stripes are just a tad spoogy. GM has blocks.
WINNER: GEORGE MASON

ARIZONA (white) VS MEMPHIS (blue)
No blocks, no spooge. Memphis has a pretty blue.
WINNER: MEMPHIS

TEXAS A&M (white) VS FLORIDA STATE (red)
A&M has skinny blocks. FSU has a serious spooge overdose.
WINNER: TEXAS A&M

OHIO STATE (white) VS TEXAS-SAN ANTONIO (blue)
A foregone conclusion.
WINNER: OHIO STATE

KANSAS (white) VS BOSTON U (red)
Both spooged. KU has the same goofy numbers as in football. BU has blocks and a nice red.
WINNER: BOSTON U

NORTH CAROLINA (white) VS LONG ISLAND (black)
Both blocks, no spooge. LI has a solid look, but it's hard to resist that pretty light blue NC trim.
WINNER: NORTH CAROLINA

PURDUE (white) VS ST PETER'S (black)
Both blocks, no spooge. St Pete has a dumb white pyramid at the knee.
WINNER: PURDUE

UNLV (white) VS ILLINOIS (orange)
No spooge. Ugly fonts on both. Edge to orange.
WINNER: ILLINOIS

WASHINGTON (white) VS GEORGIA (red)
UGA has a weird font but no spooge. Washington's font is ugly and they have spooge.
WINNER: GEORGIA

GEORGETOWN (grey) VS VCU (black)
Both blocks. VCU has spooge. G'town's uni is a classic. The light is grey. Follow the path.
WINNER: GEORGETOWN

And one NIT game to finish us off...

CALIFORNIA (blue) VS COLORADO (grey)
Cal still no blocks and spooge. Col has blocks but they're the same screwy ones from football, and they have some useless crap down their sides but it's not spooge. I'll give them credit for following the path and drafting behind G'town.
WINNER: COLORADO

Next report will cover the weekend's games.

MR. COLOREDWELL'S MARCH MADNESS FASHION REPORT
Okay, this is how it works...I'm including the NIT, because it's in HD, and I'm NOT including NCAA games on TruTV, because it's not in HD. Simple as that.

Here's the results from Tuesday and Wednesday:

DAYTON (black) VS COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON (gold)
Dayton has red and blue trim including pant stripes which look purple at times. Nice effect. CoC has a nice light shade of gold, but with dashed spooge on the pants.
WINNER: DAYTON

ALABAMA (white) VS COASTAL CAROLINA (black)
'Bama in boring white, but better than Coastal in black and teal, ugh. Plus an impossible nickname. What is it, the Chandeliers?
WINNER: ALABAMA

OKLAHOMA STATE (orange) VS HARVARD (black)
Harvard is rather generic. I would go OSU on color, but their number font ruins it.
WINNER: HARVARD

NEW MEXICO (white) VS UTEP (blue)
Both spooged. NM's numbers are too small. UTEP at least has blocks.
WINNER: UTEP

BOSTON COLLEGE (white) VS MCNEESE STATE (yellow)
McNeese in a pretty yellow with blocks. BC has the same hideous number font as their football team.
WINNER: MCNEESE STATE

ST MARY'S (white) VS KENT STATE (blue)
Kent could use some shiny pants! St Mary's is all wrong. A putrid font, plus spooge.
WINNER: KENT STATE

WICHITA STATE (white) VS NEBRASKA (red)
Both have blocks and spooge. Wichita's spooge is a bit worse.
WINNER: NEBRASKA

VIRGINIA TECH (white) VS BETHUNE-COOKMAN (black)
Hokies a bit ho-hum. BC has shiny gold trim, but overall look is kind of clunky. VT has blocks.
WINNER: VIRGINIA TECH

CALIFORNIA (yellow) VS MISSISSIPPI (red)
Ole Miss has nice color combo and looks great close up, tho the blue blocks (on red) are hard to read in wideshot. Cal has non-blocks and spooge.
WINNER: MISSISSIPPI

WASHINGTON STATE (white) VS LONG BEACH STATE (navy)
Both have blocks. No mistakes on WSU. LBS loses on spooge.
WINNER: WASHINGTON STATE

Next report in about 48 hours, give or take a few, covering Thursday and Friday games.
