RANDOM THOUGHTS:
The following were on my mind between Monday, November 8th and Thursday, November 11th:
- I'd never thought that I would say this, but I love Gary Bettman. The reason why is, of course, because of the news that starting this year the NHL All Star Game would consist of the elected captains of each of the conferences in that game picking the games they want to play in, sort of like playing a pick up game. It's good to see that the league actually wants to improve their sport, or at least make it more entertaining, unlike some certain professional sports league (I'm looking at you, MLB!).
- Let me put it this way: Antonio Margarito making fun of Freddy Roach's Parkinson's disease is something that even Kevin Garnett disapproves of. By the way, Antonio, good luck fighting Manny Pacquiao on Saturday now that you have finally given him the motivation to beat the hell out of you.
- I wish Rex Ryan could face his twin brother Rob every year. (http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2010/11/rex-ryan-has-a-twin-brother.html)
- First, there was Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Now, it's Demi Lovato, who reportedly went to rehab to deal with her stress and eating disorder. What is it with Disney producing these dysfunctional young women?
- Oh, there you are, South Carolina! I thought you stopped trying with the crazy politicians and news stories after I named you one of my blog's Hall of Famers. I was gladly wrong. (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/animals/mouse-found-lodged-inside-naked-arrestee)
-Well, it's official: AMC has finally canceled "Rubicon" after only one season. Now, I can't say without not keeping a straight face that I am shocked to hear that the network made this decision. The show could barely get a million viewers for most of their run and I guess a lot of people just tuned out after the first few episodes of the show which even I admit were pretty dull at times. Also, thanks to the successes of "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" along with the fantastic ratings put up by "The Walking Dead" through the first two episodes, AMC realized how great of a network they can be and that they don't need to cater to a average viewership the size of 1/3rd of Chicago to do it. Still, I am a bit disappointed because of the fact that the show was decent and that I won't get a chance to see what happens next in the world of Will Travers, Truxton Spangler, Atlas-McDowell and API after the disappointing cliffhanger that was the season (now series) finale. Hopefully, overtime this show will increase in popularity through the season one DVDs (that is, if AMC decides to release it on DVD), add on to their amount of fans and become another one of those shows like "Arrested Development" that people will regret that they didn't watch during its original run. Otherwise...eh, life moves on I guess.
Happy Veterans Day again, everybody! Now, get out of my sight!
