RANDOM THOUGHTS:
The following were on my mind between Veterans Day 2010 and Monday, November 15th:
- Everytime I watch Andy Rooney on "60 Minutes, " the only thing I can think of is why is this man not dead yet. YOU'RE 91 YEARS OLD! LET SOMEONE ELSE EXPRESS THEIR DISGUST OVER CANNED FRUIT! One on the plus side, at least he's adorable to watch.
- I wish ESPN would create a new channels that only shows fights between horse jockeys.
- Won't be long now before Erik Spoelstra is finally kicked to the curb in Miami. The team is off to a disappointing 6-4 start (and could have very well been 5-5 in the Toronto game), Pat Riley is breathing down his neck every time he stays on the organization and even Lebron James is calling him out, calling out the coach for playing him too much (which isn't really on him since, you know, the team has only 3 or 4 good players on the team. By the way, when was the last time you've heard a superstar athlete complain about that?). My prediction is that if the team hasn't improved by Christmas, it will be Spoelstra gone and Riley in (which I think is what players like Lebron and Wade really would like).
- Dear Dan Snyder,
When you wake up in the morning everyday, do you ask yourself "How can I continue to make this Washington Redskins organization the biggest laughingstock in the National Football League?" (ESPN)
- Boy, that return of Chad Pennington was quick wasn't it? I'm not sure which went by faster: this, or Michael K.Williams's appearance on the pilot episode of "Boardwalk Empire."
- This Thursday's episode of proves once again why "Community" is the best comedy series on television right now (with one of the best seasons of "30 Rock" in years as a close second). Honestly, how can a show turn a bottle episode thanks to one of the weirdest MacGuffins of all-time (Annie's lost purple pencil) and make it so hilarious?
- With "Parks and Recreations" finally returning in January in a good time slot (Thursdays at 8:30 p.m./7:30 p.m. CT right after the ratings gold that is "The Office) that could get some good ratings for the show, I kind of like you again, NBC! Now, if you can just cancel "Outsourced"...
- Just when you think you have heard all of the great Gusgasms in this world, Johnson adds another great one to his already historic collection (which I hope CBS Sports one day releases on DVD and/or iTunes) with his call of the awesome Hail Mary play in the Houston-Jacksonville game from yesterday, including the introduction to one of the most bizarre versions of "Ohhh" in network television history, almost as if he actually jizzed in the booth while acting surprised when that Hail Mary took place. By the way, I would like to wish a big thank you to Texans DB Glover Quinn for batting down that pass which ended up being caught by Mike Thomas. Had it not been for you, that Gusgasm would have never happened.
More random thoughts to come on Thursday. Until then, enjoy the start of your workweek.
