Welcome to Friday, Pack win, and some old video to laugh at...

Allllllllright. The Pack won on Monday night. Sweet game and a sweet result. A Rod looked good. I know I have been critical of the kid in the past but if he plays like he did on Monday night against the queens, we are all good. NOW it was against the queens, the crappyiest team ever, so he should not get a big head. After all a lot of that credit needs to go to me for my goatee shave. That's right, now that I have shaved the 'Rodgers' cut in my goatee, he will continue to win. Not to mention I am starting a huge craze for this style cut all over the nation. I made Packer Palace dot com THE place for all things Packer. Well, besides TundraTalk. Sweet coverage of my goat. Nice. No way I can shave it now. In the infamous words of Crash Davis..."Never Fu#k with a streak".

Another thing that is nice is that Scott Dahl, of the Minneapple Dahls, and Gene Principe, of the Edmonton Sportsnet Principes, both lost bets to me. Suckers. I now am owed 12 Leinies from Dahler and supper from Principe. I love it when a plan comes together.

A few other things to take care of before I get to the classic video to show you. Brett Favre made it to Regina. Thats right, I saw him the other day on Albert Street. I managed to snap a picture of him. Have a look... Nice huh? It is great that he made the trip to Regina to visit. He really is not gone, he is always with me in my travels up and down Albert here in Regina. I guess you could say Number 4 is my co pilot. Speaking of Number 4 Jenna Leith, of the Regina Leiths, is going to see him play this weekend in NY and I have been promised a program from the game. Nice. Mom, of the Phoenix Mom's, sent me this picture she snapped in Wisconsin the other weekend.

NEXT: Speaking of parents. I have the update on the Ahman Green Car raffle. All of my postive thinking and sending out the good vibes did not over ride all the negative thinking of my parents. Every time I spoke with them I told them that it is their car. They WILL win it. Done deal. They would always reply with, and I quote, "Yeah right". You can't go into a situation like this with an attitude that you will not win. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb. Anyway, needless to say they did not win. DAMN. I already had a trip planned in this car. That is a pic of my dad and my aunt standing next to the car. She got a key, they had a party going on so they sat around and waited then Betty got in the car, tried to start it, and.....nothing. Too bad.

So they also did not also win the trip to Texas for the game. Oh well. They got an autographed Ahman Green football. Nice. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine. That ball will look great next to the Number 4 ball.

NEXT: Robby DuPuis, of the Minneapple DuPuis, spent some time at the RNC in St. Paul last week. Here is his account of all those crazy white people who proclaim to want 'change', but I ain't buying it since they are the reason there are so many problems....

Here's a few photos from my time at the RNC though they're not very exciting. I was only in the building on Tuesday and Wednesday and (thankfully) didn't have to deal with the anarchists.

There's a few photos from our studio suite in the Xcel, a couple outside (security entrance and snipers on the roof) and inside the Fox News Channel tent (which was huge).

The week as a whole was a lot easier (for me) than I expected, but the entire production was MUCH larger that I anticipated. Two police officers on every corner of downtown St. Paul and the security zone was quite large and heavily guarded.

That's it. No exciting stories. Saw a few famous talking heads from cable news channels (which doesn't do much for me since I think their part of the problem and not helping matters) and a couple of polititians (same comment there).

I posted an album on Facebook if you're a facebooker.

Peace, rob

Thanks Robby for the update. Looks like you missed out on most of the crazy rich people speeches. Good Job.

NEXT: Now we get to the goods. I recently was cleaning my shed when I stumbled into the boxes of tapes that I have amassed in my TV career and I found some stuff I wanted to share with you. I am not going to give all of it up today, I am going to spread it out a bit over a few weeks. Just to keep you coming back. That my friends, is what we in the biz call a 'tease'. Nice.

First up is a classic Peterson video from around 1998. Right after There's Something About Mary came out. Of course you know that the greatest QB of all times made his screen debut in that film and took off like rockets. Well, I heard that a local golf tournament in Sheboygan, I love saying that name, Sheboygan, was having as a special celebrity guest Chris Elliot. My favorite comedic actor. Those of you who worked with me back in Bismarck remember the Christmas that I gave everyone in the building, that I wanted to, a copy of his book, Daddy's Boy. I am a huge fan, so of course I insisted that I get to go and cover this.

Of course my angles was that Brett Favre was in the movie with him and I could ask him about it. Bingo I get the green light to go. It was in the evening so I decided to take Donna with me for company. It also just happened to be a week when my parents were visiting. Sooooo they went also. Really kinda unprofessional of me, but that is one thing I have NEVER claimed to be was professional.

I of course was going to conduct the interview. Now that is not a big deal, but I do not beleive that I had ever done it before this. Those of you who take the time to listen to the TT Podcast know that I am not, like Roy Firestone, the best interviewer in the business. I, in fact, really suck. I was really nervous when I sat him down for the interview and did not remember any of the questions I had thought of. I now write them down. As you can see when you watch the interview he is a bit annoyed with my style, or lack there of, and cut me down on several occaisions. Chris is a guy who used to write for Dave Letterman back in the NBC days. He is the king of sarcasm and loves to take shots at people. He took many at me. But by the end of the interview I made him laugh and it was all good.

After the interview I had him sign my copy of Daddy's Boy, which he could not believe I had, and took a few pics. One of which was our Christmas card in 1998. Oh, I also remember when I introduced myself to him I told him my name was Chris Peterson, and he said "Shut up you are lying" I showed him my DL and he laughed and said "Do you live over your parents garage?" I said no, but these are my parents. He just rolled his eyes, laughed and sat down. Way cool. In case you do not know he had a sit com on FOX called Get a Life that his characters name was Chris Peterson. He was also a paper boy in that show. Great Show.

Anyway this is the first in many videos that I will show you that are very funny in a self depricating way. Enjoy.

Have a great weekend and GET BACK TO WORK!!!!

I FEEL THE POWER!!!!!

I love this ad. Watch it over and over. RIP Mel. The first fan inducted into the Packers fan Hall of fame. A place I will someday be enshrined. Believe that.

Here is a pic of me with my official A Rod goatee. I encourage all of you Packer fans who can and will grow a goat to shave it in this manner. Lets get behind this guy. The Packers need us.

Go Pack Go!!!!



Plus I thought you all would like to see a picture of the queens Super Bowl Trophy case courtesy of Packer Palace dot com...

Welcome to the new Packers season...

Packers video from hamiltongbp on Vimeo.

The Packers season is ready to start again and I thought I would post the video above just to get all of us motivated to cheer on the greatest football team to walk the face of the earth. I am not sure who shot this footage and I am also unsure of who edited it. Maybe I did, maybe James Rafferty, of the Montana Rafferty's. Who knows. All I know is it is awesome.

This is something I think about on occasion. At WGBA we had a great group of shooters. With the exception of Flan from FOX in Green Bay, WGBA had THE BEST football shooters in town. Hands down. NFL films looks at our stuff and drools. Anyway, enjoy this video. I do daily.

So the new season is upon us and I have yet to proclaim to you that the Packers are gonna win the Super Bowl. It is a seasonly occurrence, one that comes in the fall along with the bluster of the cold winds. Well this year I am still stinging a bit from the whole Brett Favre thing. Oh and to just pile on a bit TT decides to release Regina's own, Jon Ryan. You will know that story because TundraTalk broke the story NATIONWIDE. Those Bozo's dump the 9th ranked punter in the league for a guy who has NO ranking in the league. MORONS. Oh and again, all the great pics of Packers and stuff are from PACKER PALACE DOT COM.

Anyway to get back to my proclamation. Like I said it is tough. Had Number 4 still been here I would have been shouting it from the mountain tops, or here in Regina hilltops. Don't get me wrong the Packers are still going to win the SuperBowl. Oh yes they will. I just needed a little more time to get behind it this year. So here we go...


THE GREEN BAY PACKERS WILL WIN THE SUPER BOWL. Believe that.

They of course open the season this Monday night against the queens. Which brings me to my next comment. Like you didnt' see this one coming. The queens suck. What better team to start your season at home with an ass kicking? Maybe the bears. It will be great to see on MNF, for the whole world to see. A Rod better have his head wired on straight or there will be lynch mobs outside Lambeau.

For all you queen fans out there, there is a standing offer to bet on this game. Not for money, you all know the currencey I wager in. Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, Funyuns, and the best beer in the world Leinie's. Bring it queen fan. I am running low on the Cap'n and Funyuns. Principe, you owe me a dinner, might as well be two. Bring it. Dahl, wanna go 'round again? Those Leinies that you paid up with this summer sure tasted good. Wanna fill my fridge some more? How about you Keller? You want some? I mean really it is like shooting queens in a barrel. How about some of you newbies out there? Want to get in on the action?

Oh and one more thing. I have been critical of A Rod our new QB that he is candy ankles and kind of a pussy but in honor of the team I have decided to throw my support behind this guy. I will be shaving my beard on Sunday to resemble his. He has this crazy goatee thing going on that I am sure will look crazy on me and sure as hell looks crazy on him. I will post it on game day for you all to laugh at.


CWA from hamiltongbp on Vimeo.

To go along with the Packers season opener I also put up the classic CWA interview and video that I shot at Lambeau. This is a band that truly is awesome. I have all their albums and a poster. If anyone is interested in a copy of the CD's let me know. This is great music to listen to on game day, at a tailgate, or any other day of the year. VERY Inspirational. Ask Trevor Doroshenko of the Regina Doroshenkos. He knows.

In the past few days I found some old school stuff that I put to DVD and then to the computer. So in the next week or so I will be posting some classic WhiteHot productions stuff that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe throw up. Stay tuned and
GO PACK GO!!!!
Shane T Keller, of the Hollywood Kellers, sent Tony some love for being in Speilberg's video...

That is so cool! The coolest thing is not that he is in this video, but the reason that he is in this picture. I am very proud of Tony and am very proud to say that I know him, his wife and people of their caliber. It really takes a special thing to do what they do and to have that kind of conviction!! Well done.

Shane

Nice Job Shane, could not have said it better.

Oh and GET BACK TO WORK!!!

Yup, I was right again, Thompson is on crack...

CLICK HERE TO READ HOW RIGHT  I WAS...

So I spoke with Jon a bit this after noon on Facebook and he said that he has not had any interest from any other teams as of yet, but it is labour day and there should be some in the next few days.

The Packers coach McCarthy said in his afternoon presser that it came down to evaluations.  They need to trust their evaluations?  I would think a 35 yard run on a blown punt (high snap) would evaluate well.  He also in the same breath said he had not seen any 'film' on the new guy.  You are the head coach and you have not seen ANY tape, not film, on your new punter?  You guys amaze me.  Hey coach, maybe you should put your brain in the freezer instead of the footballs.

I told Jon that I love the Pack and am a diehard, but am not happy with the direction the team is going and he said he himself is not sure what is going on there.

Anyway, you heard it here first.  If there is news you need to know, or at least news I think you need to know.  Check TundraTalk first before you go to CNN or ESPN.  Believe that.

Packers release Jon Ryan, Ted Thompson is officially crazy...

Okay, so I am cruising facebook today and I notice that Jon Ryan has on his status "Jon Ryan is looking for a new employer." Crazy. I start looking around on the net for confirmation and can find nothing. He posted it at 10:38am this morning. Happy Labour Day Jon. So I guess this is a TT exclusive since it is yet to be confirmed by any 'mainstream' media.

So here it is...TundraTalk sources are telling TT that the Packers have cut Jon Ryan. Jon Ryan told TundraTalk earlier today at 10:38am that his is looking for a new employer. Sources here in TT headquarters think Ted Thompson is on crack. Does he think that A Rod is that good that they will never have to punt again? They will go for it on fourth down? Or they will never HAVE a fourth down. WTF? Who is going to punt now, KGB? Maybe Chumura will come back? Or Ted will just do it all himself since he is so great.

I am just confused.

For more exclusive updates keep it here on TundraTalk the blog that does not suck.

Have a great Labour Day.
