How about a bit of Chris from Green Bay for your Monday?

Okay we got some paper work to discuss first before you watch the video I have for you.

James Grandy, of the Minot Grandy's, pipes in after my last rant with a compliment?

Pete,

the world needs more camera men like you Pete, now just learn how to white balance and focus

Grandy

Well thanks James, I think.

Next up is Art Simmonds, of the CEP beat the snot out of A-Channel Simmonds, gave me some props. Me and Art took on the man in Edmonton and we beat him down. Art is and old school union guy who I would go to war with any day...

Hi Chris ..

Enjoyed reading your rant on the media. I gave upon it many years ago, but it still pisses me off. Glad to see there's some people who still work in tv who get it.

Art

Thanks Art, that means a lot coming from you.

Last but not least Chad Walker, of the Score Toronto Walkers, brings us the Toronto side of the coin...

Phew...I thought you were going to rip the Score's coverage of trade deadline day. Maybe you should start ripping TSN for loving themselves way too much. Get over it already you are who you are because you have the most money not because you are so much better than everybody else. Now I am ranting, you got me fired up.

Chad Walker

Nah, Chad, I watched some of the Score's coverage and you guys did fine. I have started watching you guys again even after my self imposed ban of the Score after my experience with a certain reporter that pissed me off every day. I like the new look and I really like the attitude. Gerry Dee is freaking hilarious. Give him more time. Oh and you are correct, I really don't like it when a media outlet pats themselves on the back way too much. It is just so self serving. If you are willing to prop yourself you should also be willing to admit your mistakes. The parent company of TSN is the company that I was ranting about last week.

Anyway, thanks for the response keep it coming...


Sound Off Live Sat Rip Off from hamiltongbp on Vimeo.



So I finally got this one uploaded. It is a bit of comedy that some of us at WGBA did for WOITV in Des Moines. This was for the show Sports Sound Off with Keith Murphy. Just a bit of history...this show is basically talk radio on TV. Keith called me about a month or so after it started. He said he would like me to call in to the show and just act crazy and just be me. He wanted to create a villian of sorts so that would spark his callers to be more 'interesting'.

I was cool with that but I lived in Green Bay. How was that gonna fly? He said it did not matter just call. Well I started to call each week and rail on how much Des Moines sucks and how great the Packers are. We kinda caught a break because this was the year the Pack made their first run at the Super Bowl and won it. So I had a lot to talk about. Oh and the Green Bay Gamblers played Des Moines hockey team and that brought me some heat also.

Needless to say I was not popular. We even taped a segment once where Keith was in GB doing a stand up in the parking lot of Lambeau and I tackled him. Just crushed him. We shot it from about three different angles and they edited it just right to make it look good. People actually believe I hurt him. People are dumb.

Once I made a trip down for Keith's wedding and we went to his bachelor party which was held at Sec Taylor field home of the Iowa Cubs. Round Guy introduced me to someone who was a frequent caller to the show and she refused to shake my hand. Someone also told me that I showed up on a local newsmagazine poll as one of the most hated men in Iowa. Not sure if that was true but I choose to believe it.

So we made a bet, can't remember what it was, but my end of the bet was that I would never call the show again. Somehow it worked out that I lost so I stopped calling. Well, Murph wanted to get me back in so we devised this scheme that I stole a sattlelite feed and announced that I would be back. It worked great because I looked like a loser and was going back on the bet. I love being the villian.

Anyway, for the first time, above is the video that goes along with it. As you can see everyone who is anyone is in it. Marty is in it, Hauser makes an appearance, Venckus Schmenkus gets a question in, the Raffertys are in there, and of course the Nordic Man acts as my security force. Great bit of TV here folks. I hope you enjoy it.

I have a copy of the night where I got my head shaved on the show around somewhere also so I will work on getting that up also.

Now, have a good week and GET BACK TO WORK!!!

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!!!
