Did you enjoy your weekend? Actually, don't answer. I honestly don't care if you enjoyed your weekend. Just read this.
Death of the Week: Comedian Greg Giraldo
It's really a shame that he had to die. I mean, why did he have to die but the 1000 pound Ralphie May and joke stealer Carlos Mencia are both alive and well? Oh well, life is a bitch like that. Anyways, I will miss Giraldo just like I miss other great comedians who have died in the past decade (Carlin, Hedberg, etc.) for many reasons. He wasn't as well known of a comedian as ,say, a Gabriel Iglesias or a Dane Cook, but he was still very funny and quite talented as well. Also, he was one of the few reasons why I even bothered to watch those at times stupid Comedy Central roasts. My heart goes out to his wife and four children.
The "It's About Time!" Firing of the Week: Rick Sanchez from CNN
It's a shame that it took anti-semitic rant to finally give Ted Turner's network the balls to get rid of him. I would have gotten rid of him sooner.
Stories of the Week:
-The Actual Story of the Week: Rahm Emanuel Leaves Job as White House Chief of Staff to Run for Mayor of Chicago; Replaced by Peter Rouse
- The Tiger Woods Saga of '09 Memorial Story of the Week: 'Australia's Next Top Model' host Announces Wrong Winner of Live TV
Live TV. Am I right?
Awesome Cameo of the Week: Brian Williams (and Andrea Mitchell) on "30 Rock"
News anchor, reporter, a good actor and a funnyman? Is there anything that Williams can't do?
Video of the Week: It's a Tie! Two videos attracted my attention this week. The first video was introduced to the world on September 30th and has since been watched by over 3 million people and counting. Here's "Pacific Airlines Flight Attendants Dancing":
Your move, United Airlines! The second one was that of a WABC Weatherman pretending that he was Austin Powers or...something. Here's "WABC Weatherman Blooper":
.gif of the Week: Katy Perry Boob Bounce on "Saturday Night Live"
I would sure like to tickle that Elmo!
Person of the Week: Pedro Martinez
for being one of the best parts of Ken Burns's four hour long documentary "Tenth Inning" on PBS this past week and, because of his great job on the documentary, proving that he should become a TV analyst as soon as possible. Tommy Craggs from Deadspin.com said it best on Thursday:
"Just one of a handful of former players to speak with Burns, Pedro made the rest of the film look every bit the tight-assed, overserious exercise in McHistory that it was. Baseball misses him — watching him
throw circle changes in an Expos uniform was strangely poignant — and the handful of times Pedro got to speak to Burns's camera, with that same, faintly crazy air of being the only guy in the room who's in on
the joke, the surly mood of the proceedings immediately lifted. Why isn't he in a booth somewhere? Why isn't he on Baseball Tonight? Why do we always have to listen to a bunch of guys talk about baseball
the way the College of Cardinals talk about the pope? Right now, baseball — to say nothing of Baseball — could use a lot more Pedro and a lot less Costas."

There aren't a few things these days that would shock me. But actually "researching" and evaluating different student-athletes' lovemaking skills for your thesis?!?! You have to be either really stupid or really brave to do that.
And that's the way it is! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
