"I'll Have Him Secured Any Minute Now."
The best SportsCenter commercial of all time, in my opinion....
This Week In Arena Football
• Georgia Force 55, Kansas City Brigade 47. With the win, Force head coach Doug Plank become's the franchise's all-time winningest head coach. I can feel the jealousy of Vince Lombardi, Chuck Noll and Bill Parcells....
Trying To Stop The Flop
I wasn't able to get you your soccer update yesterday, but I did want to point out some efforts to being taken to eliminate the diving and flopping that can sometimes plague the game....
Durham Quickly Becoming Compton East
You know, between the rapes and the drive-by shootings, Durham doesn't sound like such a great place to be right now....
People Will Come, Ray...
I admit, I've never been much for the sappy "crack of the bat, smell of the green grass" imagery that seems to be inspired by the opening of the baseball season. But I can get behind these sounds of the season: San Diego Serenade has put together a list of 9 songs (complete with downloadable mp3s)...
About Last Night...
• NBA: Wizards 99, Spurs 106. Hey, a competitive basketball game. What a novel idea....
Tapeworms Overcome Glen Davis; UCLA And Florida To Meet Monday Night
Every commercial CBS takes prolongs the agony. And CBS certainly isn't shy about the commercial breaks this year....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 5:58 Second Half
Garrett Temple buys a pump fake and ends up kneeing someone in the head. That was exciting....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 13:07 Second Half
Glen Davis starts the half by missing a couple of short ones, and UCLA has pushed the lead to 19. This evening... has been disappointing....
Bruins vs. Tigers, Halftime
Uh oh. Big Baby's practically begging John Brady to take him out of the game. He can't keep up with the pace. Things really couldn't be going worse for the Tigers....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 6:28 First Half
Hey, sweet commercial. Someone asks Spike Lee who he'd have a beer with if he could have a beer with anyone, and it's a nice little tribute to Jackie Robinson. Apparently, the commercial is for beer. Not any particular beer, just... beer in general....
Bruins vs. Tigers, 12:19 First Half
Just real quick, Seth Davis reports before the game that NC State's Herb Sendek is no longer NC State's. He's been offerred and has accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State. I think the Sun Devils just got one of the better coaches in the nation....
Cinderella Mauled By Gator
The lead is 13 with under four minutes to play. I just don't see it happening, Patriots. And you know, I'd be upset about it if you were losing to a less likable team, but I've no issues with Florida. If this was UConn, I'd be pounding my head against the monitor right now....
Gators vs. Patriots: 5:16, Second Half
Mason's chipping back into a little bit, but Florida just keeps hitting threes. The game has certainly taken on a Florida kind of pace. Florida's up 13....
Gators vs. Patriots: 11:49, Second Half
I didn't catch much of the halftime, but man... Adam Morrison is hurting. They gave him the Chevrolet Player of the Year, and I think the man is clinically depressed. He looked down, talked softly, had nothing to say, and he hasn't washed his hair in over a month. I feel like writing him a letter ...
Gators vs. Patriots: Halftime
I was wrong about the new batch of commercials, by the way. The lame Southwest "Wanna get away?" commercials are back in the rotation, as is that fucking Capitol One angel....
Gators vs. Patriots: 3:48, First Half
I think I could watch Jai Lewis do just about anything and be entertained. Patient, smooth, controlled, quick... all at 275 pounds. I could probably even be talked into buying a Jai Lewis gay sex tape....
Gators vs. Patriots: 9:50, First Half
Hey, a Dick Vitale commercial for DiGiorno's. A few minutes ago, I felt like ordering pizza. I was really considering it. I've completely lost the taste for it, though....
Gators vs. Patriots: 1st TV Timeout
Sometimes I hate Jim Nantz and his dramatic voice. When you say "Jim Nantz and Billy Packer," there no reason to make it sound like you're doing a Jack Nicklaus career retrospective at Augusta National....
Patriots In A Major Sporting Event That You Can Actually Cheer For
It's getting to be about that time. George Mason vs. Florida will be tipping off about 20 minutes after this is posted. I'll be sticking with you through both games, dear friends, so feel free to hang around, get down in the comments, or e-mail me with any thought you have about the game, the broa...
