I hoped you enjoyed my Emmys live blog from last night. Now, let's begin with this week's installment of the RTs. As always, the following were on my mind between Monday, August 23rd and tarts the next Monday, August 30th:
- As a White Sox fan, I find the Manny Ramirez deal to be a very good one. It's only a one month rental, the team finally has that DH they have been missing since they traded Jim Thome last year, Ramirez can still hit the ball and they didn't have to give up any prospects to get him (all they have to do is just pay all $3.5 million of Ramirez's remaining contract money). Sure, the White Sox needed a reliever more but getting someone as good of a hitter as Ramirez is the next best thing.
- What the heck is Tune Up and why are they so successful that they have enough money to spend on showing that stupid commercial with Biz Markie and Andy Milonakis?
- The past fourteen months for "Modern Family" has to be regarded as one of the best time any comedy on TV has had in years. It all began in the summer before the series premiere when great reviews of their pilot came out and Disney promoted the hell out of it. Then the show's first episode being aired right after an episode of "Dancing with the Stars". Then, it received huge success in the ratings throughout their first season run, and now it got a bunch of Emmys that include Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Cast and Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Eric Stonestreet. These days you hardly see such a success by a comedy. Sure, it may receive huge ratings or it may receive tons of awards but it's usually not both at the same time.
- With the college football season beginning this Thursday, high school football underway across the country and the NFL preseason in week 4 territory, I think it's safe to say that the best time of the year in all of sports is back.
- I find the "We don't need no education" line in Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" to be very ironic.
- To the person who decided to play the MNF football theme song everytime a person entered one of ESPN.com's Fantasy Football draft rooms: I hate you and your guts.
Because of Labor Day, I've decided on having the next edition of random thoughts sometime this weekend. Until then, enjoy this unofficial final week of summer, everyone!
