Last night during the Celtics broadcast, Mike and Tommy were talking about Dwight Howard being fined by the league for criticizing refs on his blog. Gorman started to speculate how many fines Tommy would have racked up if the internet had existed when he was a player. Would Tommy have even drawn a paycheck? Is there even enough money in the world?
LaDainian & Norv just hugged after that Phillip Rivers (is a bum) touchdown like they DON’T openly try to poison each other’s food.
CBS Pats/Dolphins Pre-Game Show: Wildcat? Wildcat. WILDCAT! WILDCAT! WILDCAT! Wildcat? Wildcat. WILDCAT! WILD. CAT. Wildcat.
Fell asleep last night during Cavs/Bulls game. Surprised all of LeBron’s screeching re: non-call at the end of the game didn’t wake me up.
Remember this girl?
You would think, at the very least, that I would try and time things so that when I finally got around to stammering out, “Uh, you’re really cute and, uh, it sucks that you live in New York because, uh, I really like you,” it would not be during the same week that the Yankees were in the process of — gulp — winning the World Series.
But again, you’d be wrong. So, it’s a mixed bag. She roots for a baseball team that is now the World Champion Spawn of Satan, but, you guys, I really like her.
This fall I went to a Bruins pre-season game with some out-of-town friends who are Rangers fans. Despite their best efforts, my understanding and appreciation of hockey remains a … work in progress. One of them linked to this article, which includes a really honest self-examination of homophobia and straight privilege in professional sports.
—now, I uncomfortably dislike Curt Schilling as much as the next gay commie pinko liberal Red Sox fan who is grateful for his contribution to the 2004 World Championship but has, in the intervening five years, decided that his high-volume conservative politicking now outweighs his folk hero status, but. But!
The Phillies are already throwing Pedro out on the mound for Game 6; they should highly consider hiring probably-not-actually-beloved-at-all ex-Philly Curt Schilling to sit in the dugout, just to get the Game 6 at Yankees Stadium/The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty mojo going. I’m just saying.
Alternately, the Yankees could pay Grady Little to throw out the first pitch.
Pagliuca’s senate campaign commercials = misguided. Ethics? Health care? Jobs? All ads should start: “FROM THE GUY WHO BOUGHT YOU KG ….”
Philly crowd chanting “YOU TOOK STEROIDS!” loud & strong 3 batters into bottom of 1st. Never been there, but think I would love that town.
That shot of Derek Jeter’s awkward head-bop during the “Empire State of Mind” pre-game performance summed up his ENTIRE HUMAN EXISTENCE.
