I worked on a film with him years back. Every Friday at wrap he bought out a bar for the crew to drink in for a few hours on his dime. He would start off with a giant plate of bacon and eggs chased down with a few martinis.

In conclusion, I love the guy, but am shocked he is still alive.

Sorry, that was my fault.

All Tony Kornheiser needs is a slap in the face. Get Bob Knight on a plane!

Bobby Knight did not slap a player. He merely grabbed the kid's chin, to lecture and spew spittle in his face. Maybe Knight could spit in Kornheiser's face to wake him up?

Yeah, she's so awful. She's very beautiful (she has great hair, nice eyes, a gorgeous face), but she is completely wooden in her acting. I hear she used to be good on "Once and Again," but I wouldn't know.

I am so god damned addicted to Heroes.

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> I bet Theeesman can bench more than TK, so yes...stronger.

They built a Sunoco-themed bike on American Choppers last night. THAT was more exciting than the game.

GO BLUE!!!!

Anytime teal is involved, the excitement factor is nonexistent.

Drew Magary

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> this is what you all get for complaining about the seattle oakland MNF game, which (at least for a Seahawk fan) was quite tolerably watchable in comparison.

At least as a non-partisan fan in that one you had the morbid curiousity in that game of seeing exactly how many times walters would go down...

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> This game will be written about, but less words could have been used.

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> Then I realized that these episodes are probably the first one's being written and filmed after some feedback started coming back in from the public, and maybe he was humbled.

It's also possible that they were the first ones writen after rehab.

Speaking of TV, anybody else thrilled about the trainwreck that is Shatner as gameshow host? As an appetizer, this is William Shatner going Bobby Knight on $20,000 Pyramid (video quality poor, Shatner quality hilarious): http://youtube.com/watch?v=-UyxR9g7xi4

MDT

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> I don't have ESPN anymore (the joys of graduate school life!), but it looks like the FREE stuff truly is the best out there so far; kudos to NBC for being very smart about the time slot and the games picked up, even if John Madden needs to retire.

CliffX

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> Does anyone else think its funny that ESPN got totally screwed on Monday night with the new flex game on Sunday. NBC got the sweetest NFL contract of any network. These Sunday night games are going to much more compelling. I guess Monday night has become the time to check the injury report for Tuesday's Dancing with the Stars.

j_huggybear

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> I won't put any S60 spoilers in, but I will say that last night was the first time that I felt like Sorkin actually was doing six weeks of setup to get to a point. Then I realized that these episodes are probably the first one's being written and filmed after some feedback started coming back in from the public, and maybe he was humbled.

Then again, everytime I think he has it figured out, he goes and does something else to madden, so you know, results may vary.

Yostal

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> Sorry MDT, I just figured anyone who wanted to see it (all twelve of us in the country) already saw it last night. I'll just download it, no worries.

Happy bday, and it makes me happy that I'm not the youngest person here (turning 24 on Monday).

[hey, I CLOSED the tag]

MDT

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> We've always known TK was a disaster on MNF. To say Theezman is a better broadcaster is going a little far, thuough. The man was born a complete moron.

Studio 60. Ugh. I hate it, yet I watch it every week. Much like the MNF crew.

soozycue

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> Is Studio 60 moving to a different night? I switch over to NBC every Monday at ten and I miss Chris Berman's halftime bloaviatings...oh...that's probably a good thing.

Rob Iracane

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> I thought it was funny how they will keep the show running until the end of the season after all that cancellation talk. Did Matthew Perry threaten painkiller abuse again?

What else is on Monday nights?

Yep, I had money on Gang Gradkowski. I should change my commenter name to Mush.

Get Him A Body Bag, Yeah!

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> I give TK some slack, I mean, any time the guy tried to say something even remotely funny it gets absolutely killed by Theeeeezman's humorlessness. A friend of mine suggested Steve Young instead of Theezman and I tend to agree. The ESPN broadcast is sorely lacking the mormon perspective, as well.

gmschmidty

]]> <![CDATA[Not Exactly Thrilling NFL Action]]> Kornheiser was a bad idea. His commenting ability has become as thin as his comb-over...

Hit Bull Win Steak

KOGOD
