RANDOM THOUGHTS:
Okay, I know it's late. I know that I'm being pretty unprofessional with this long delay. And I know you'll be even madder to the fact that this week's 'Thoughts' are smaller than last year. But before you criticize me, just remember: last time I checked, this was my blog.
Now then, the following are my delayed thoughts from Monday, April 5th to Monday, April 12th:
- Congratulations to Conan O'Brien. Now that he has a show for TBS coming out in November, he will win this year's "Frank TV" Memorial Most Overplayed Promo During the MLB Playoffs Award! But seriously, I think it's a good move on both parts. TBS finally has a highly profiled star and show in their company that isn't Seth MacFarlane and his "Family Guy" reruns, while Conan will have a show without the ratings pressure and that isn't controlled by people other than him.
- Three weeks ago, I didn't know who Broken Bells was. Now, I'm a big fan of their music and their debut album. Highly recommend it.
- I would take Vinny Del Negro anyday. Sorry John Paxson.
- In an age where journalists should know better than to judge someone based on their press conferences and Twitter updates, how could columnists like Rick Reilly and Jay Marrioti actually use the "The good guy won" cliche for Phil Mickelson after he won the Masters. I mean, sure, he most likely stayed faithful to his wife unlike Tiger (though recent reports of an illegitimate child for Mickelson might disagree with that claim), you have that. But to use that claim is just dumb. It's like Russians saying that Stalin couldn't have been responsible for millions of civilian deaths because he always looked so nice while walking down in parades. Next time, think of a better way to describe him winning then acting like he cures cancer.
- I still don't understand why Augusta doesn't like to show more than four hours of coverage during the first two rounds. The notion that putting more hours on TV would disrespected the ticket holders is such a 20th Century thought.
And...there you have it. See you next Monday (or later if it's delayed again). Until then, here's this week's edition of the "Zep-tastic Song of the Week." Today, it's the song that became the title of a famous 1990s movie. I'm, of course, talking about "Dazed and Confused." Enjoy:
