I almost couldn't make this random thoughts column in its usual Monday timeslot after a pretty interesting and very tiring weekend. It started out on Saturday, when I played a football game with my cousins that lasted nearly three hours, mostly because of the 22 college-rules overtime (which I still haven't recovered physically from) we played. When we were done, we watched the Chicago Fire eventually lose in the Eastern Conference Championship to Real Salt Lake, which I'm still mad about (why in the hell did they keep kicking it to the right during penalty kicks? Jesus Christ!). Then yesterday, I caught a 102 degree fever as well as had to finish the five hours of homework I had remaining.
Despite all the pain and emotions I suffered the last two days, I have found a way to slightly prevail. And by slightly, I mean having just enough energy left to go to school and write this post. So here we go! As you may have guessed, the following were on my mind during Thursday, November 12th to Monday, November 16th:
- What happened to Smash Mouth? Did they just die in a plane crash in 2005, or something?
- According to the Nielsen ratings, Scottish comedian Craig Ferguson's "Late Late Show" led the week at the 11:35 p.m. time slot for the first time since it premiered. Great! Another foreigner taking over American jobs (honestly, I'm pretty happy. Ferguson is at least 30x funnier than Fallon and Kimmel).
- If the NFL continues their streak of hiring people to host the Super Bowl halftime show that were older than last year's singers, expect to see the Comets (or what's left of them) play next year.
- What's up with Albert Haynesworth? Either he really does get hurt a lot, or he really loves to be dramatic and pretending to get constantly injured.
- I don't care what you say. Bill Belichick made a good call going for it on 4th &2 with the team up six in the 4th quarter last night. He just trusted his offense enough to believe that they could win the game on that play. It was really Tom Brady's fault to throwing it to Kevin Faulk and Faulk for not having getting full possession of the ball once he immediately caught it. Glad thet didn't convert it though, because we got to see this priceless 4 second clip:
- Great, another green week on NBC and NBC Universal. I wonder what kind of a big product placement "30 Rock" will do to honor it?
- I don't care if the Dolphins lost, I'm still voting Chad Henne's INT with less than two minutes to play in the 4th quarter with the team up by five as the "What Were You THinking?" play of the year.
I expect to be fully recovered by the middle of the week, so there should be no problem in posting my next random thoughts then. See ya then!
