Sunday Roundup: Daylight Savings
Baseball, Bill Simmons, ESPN, NFL, Television March 9th. 2008, 11:46am 
Maggie Grace was suggested by a reader. Hard to argue with that logic.
Bit of a late start today. Remember to set your clocks ahead. It’s Daylight Savings and that made me extra hungover.
Anybody catch SNL last night? A couple genuine laughs. Maybe it was the booze. We’ll have to further examine that.
It’s a sad night guys…The final episode of The Wire is on this evening. Excuse me if I’m a little choked up. If you want to commiserate with me feel free to drop me a line at alumnigonzo@gmail.com.

Seriously, how do the UCLAs and Dukes keep getting the calls? You’d think they’d balance out sooner or later. And if you think that Stanford’s phone-it-in against USC isn’t related to the call Thursday night, you’re not paying attention. That’s what’s criminal about this. The officials just gave UCLA the 1-seed, and they will get to play as close to Los Angeles as possible. Meanwhile, Stanford will get to be a 4 or 5-seed on the East Coast most probably. Thank God I don’t love or hate either team, or else I’d really be mad.

I will never stop being grateful that I don’t live in North Carolina. So many reasons to thank god, and about 35 were shown in that video.

The Rockets’ streak is now of voting age.
Unfortunately, so is the number of Tracy McGrady’s first round losses (presumably)

The female wrestlers is a tough one and I am the opposite of some of the quotes. I wouldn’t care if my son lost to a female wrestler but I would have a tough time letting my daughter wrestle. And to the ones who said they worried about the “grope factor”. Please, they should be more worried about a cross face.

Re: 50 top blogs list — How the hell does I can haz cheeseburger keep making lists like that that?
That’s not a blog; it’s an abortion.

NC is a real shit hole, what with its nice weather, low cost of living, varied terrain, good job market, and the fact that people pretty much aren’t douchebags except the transplants. It’s no wonder that North Carolina is experiencing a huge population drain to other states >.>
Now excuse me, I need to go brave the 70 degree weather outside to go get some food.

The James Harrison story pisses me off. Fucking dick. In case anyone needed a reminder, just because someone plays professional sports it doesn’t mean this is a role model.
I hate having guys like this on my team.
