A reader thought that the man behind Tim Donaghy in this (old?) picture might have been Screech Powers. The sinister (read: geeky) smirk, the facial hair ... who knows. We just wanted to use doppelganger on New Year's Eve. And really, did you want to read about Broadway Braylon Edwards' "guarantee" of victory Sunday night? Way to impress everyone, Bray. You're playing a team that's expected to sits its starters for the 2nd half. (34)
Major props to Mike Riley and Oregon State, who have dropped a weak game from their schedule to travel to TCU and open the 2010 season. (My QB Has Moxie) Read the rest of this entry »
This weekend isn’t great. Couple of things to figure out in the Pac-10, a few to determine in the ACC, some clouds in the BCS picture that likely won’t be resolved until around 11 pm on December 5, and the beginnings of two rivalry weekends back-to-back. It’s always a fun time to hit the douchiest bar in your hometown (assuming you swung Monday and Tuesday off next week), because on Saturday night, you will run into at least one person you want to jack in the face. And what better way to watch Oregon/Arizona than that, right? We’ll keep these proceedings short. Go spend time with your families, you heathens. Read the rest of this entry »
Welcome to CFB Smorgasboard, Week 9. I’m your Peter Marshall (see No. 2 on this epic list), also known as Big Brain on Brett. It’s a reference from Pulp Fiction, which is probably the best movie made in 1994. Other candidates: Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Clerks, Speed, The Professional, True Lies, Swimming with Sharks. Damn, 1994 was a good year for films. My Netflix queue just got fuller than Kate Gosselin’s hoo-ha once she finds an appropriate sitter. BOOM! Hey, I’m here all week — doing a bar mitzvah in the Catskills next Thursday. Onto the Saturday afternoon action. Read the rest of this entry »
Three people goofing around in an office, talking about gay porn, WNBA, Megan Fox’s thumbs, the Cris Collinsworth video, and a bunch of other junk. Is this like a low-budget Sports Nation, minus the feedback? It has a very bloggy feel to it. You know if ESPN or SI did something like this, the critics would be relentless. We’re all for risk-taking, and bawdy, harmless fun … but what is this doing on FOX Sports?
The Atlanta Dream have to move a WNBA playoff game because of Sesame Street. (AJC)
The Tampa Rays, last year’s darlings of baseball, lose their 11th straight. The good news: MLB postseason ratings will be improved. (St. Pete Times) Read the rest of this entry »
But if a coalition of students gets their way, his successor might be singing a different tune. Like, say, Auto-Tune. Read the rest of this entry »
Ich Don't Think So: Finally saw Bruno the other night. I was disappointed. Bruno was the funniest character on the original Da Ali G Show. His humor came from parodying the fashion world and from seeing how far he could push homophobes before they realized he is gay. They ignored the first vein, ramped up the second to be outlandish and obvious and threw in a truckload of gay sex jokes. Parts were amusing, but the movie never came together.(12)
