Encrotchment With Eddie Gobbo From Jar’d Loose: Season Wrap-Up

February 6, 2015

Nightmares about my nonexistent children being killed by a falling flatscreen. Thanks, Super Bowl commercial. Season in Hell So, it’s several days after the big game. The dust has settled. We’ve watched every obnoxious and sad self-filmed fan reaction to Malcolm Butler’s miraculous end zone interception that the internet has to offer. I don’t think it was…

January 23, 2015

Why do they call it football? A first down is 10 yards. The field is 100 yards. They should call it yardball. After an amazing 2014-2015 season, we have reached our final episode. The final game of Ink-a-dink. All your favorites characters are coming back. What better way to analyze our season and give rewards…

Encrotchment With Eddie Gobbo of Jar’d Loose: Championship Weekend

January 16, 2015

R.I.P. Taylor Negron The Resurrection of Andrew Wood Growing up, I was a huge Andrew Wood fan. He was the singer of Mother Love Bone, which, all things considered, is the band that wrote the book on most of what came out of Seattle in the ’90s. Even though he grew up in Seattle, Wood was…

Encrotchment With Eddie Gobbo From Jar’d Loose: Wild Card Weekend

January 2, 2015

Does anyone else find it extremely annoying when Bradley Cooper says “Baybee” over and over again in the American Sniper preview? We Caro Lot (Saturday, 4:35 p.m. EST) It feels like Carolina started their season this past Sunday against the Falcons. Arizona goes into this game like it’s another day in quicksand. The problem Arizona…

Encrotchment: Christmas Cookie Edition

December 24, 2014

The lines between Anna Kendrick and Tina Fey are becoming more and more blurred every day. Look to the Cookie, Everyone. Look to the Cookie. This week, instead of watching football at my house in the dark, I went to my aunt’s house to make Christmas cookies with her. As I walked through the door,…

Encrotchment With Eddie Gobbo From Jar’d Loose: Week 14

December 11, 2014

Darth Raider Welp, Raiders fans: I hate to say it, but I think I’m going to be retiring Oakland Raiders talk for the rest of the season. With three weeks left, and teams fighting for their playoff lives, I don’t see how a two-win team could be worth mentioning. That said,  I’m going for one last…

Encrotchment With Eddie Gobbo From Jar’d Loose: Weeks 12 & 13

December 4, 2014

Black Hole Son Two weeks ago, I watched a game that captivated me like few have this season. It was a match between the then 7-3 Kansas City Chiefs (who are riding what I believe will be a massive tailspin) and the 0-10 Oakland Raiders. The Raiders had nothing to play for but their fans. As…

November 20, 2014

Feeling for Minnesota This week, it was confirmed that Adrian Peterson will indeed by suspended for at least the rest of the season without pay, and will not be eligible for reinstatement until training camp in April.

November 13, 2014

Bigger ass? Kim Kardashian or Kim Kardashian’s ass? Keeling Over and Dying Happy This past Thursday, it dawned on me that my ‘lude had worn off and I was actually watching a football game where the Cleveland Browns had a lead in the fourth quarter, in a division game, and if they won, they’d be…

November 6, 2014

Don’t blame me. I voted for Gibby Haynes. Slow, Still and Swaggin’ I’ve been a sports fan since 1984, when I came out of Dan Marino’s womb. I’ve been a metal fan since 1994, when I seen Cannibal Corpse in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, staring Dan Marino. One of the first dudes I remember meeting in the…

October 23, 2014

Q: What’s Meghan Trainor’s middle name? A: Needsa Primitive Football God This summer, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting the dudes from Denver’s Primitive Man. Not only are they one of the dopest, heaviest, most pummeling bands in heavy music right now, but their bassist, Jonathan Campos, wears a Denver Broncos hat in July….

Encrotchment With Eddie Gobbo From Jar’d Loose: Week 6

October 16, 2014

The weird guy in the GOTHAM commercials: Who is he? I don’t want to watch the show. I just want to know who he is. The Joker? Eagles of Death Metal So, we are six weeks into the season. I think it’s safe to say the Broncos are the toast of the AFC, even though…

October 9, 2014

Mulaney Death Watch, 2014. KC at the Bat, Chiefs on the Back Burner I’ll admit, if there’s ever a lag in me watching the NFL, it’s during October. I usually drop from watching 30 hours of football a week to about 25. I’m an MLB fan, and I love spending hours watching great, hard-nosed baseball…

Here’s 10 bucks. Bring me the hair of Ariana Grande. Three Gigs, a Gaze and a Cheese Place This past weekend, Jar’d Loose did a string of shows with Oakland, CA’s Lecherous Gaze, an amazing, sleazy, ’70s-influenced rock ‘n’ roll juggernaut featuring former members of west coast thrash rockers Annihilation Time. Now, I knew these…

Encrotchment With Eddie Gobbo From Jar’d Loose: Week 3

September 25, 2014

Did you guys enjoy the heavily NFL-promoted premiere of Madam Secretary, starring Tea Leoni, as much as I did? Beng Your Pan Last winter, I played a gig in Columbus, OH, at Carabar and struck up a football conversation with the club’s owner, Ron. He’s a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan. I guess a Steelers fan…
