So I just checked out the NBADraft.net’s 2008 mock draft to see where Derrick Rose’s he-man NCAA tournament had landed him…found something way more entertaining:
Who you think they’re gonna take in the second round? Me?
Apparently, the site was only updated as recently as yesterday, and even then, the 2008 Mock Draft was NOT one of the things that was updated.
Something tells me Mario Chalmers will not be a Grizzly next year.
On a side note, I’d love to see Rose go number one overall. I think he commands the game ridiculously well for as young as he is.
Remember when Paul Shaffer (Artie Fufkin) demands that Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer kick his ass in This Is Spinal Tap?
Great part of the film. Kind of how you could sum up the last few minutes of last night’s game.
I’m not askin…I’m telling you to kick my ass
John Calipari and his team could not be reached to comment on what exactly went wrong at the end of game. However, long time Memphis fan (and a solid representative of the demo of the team’s fan base) Cletus the slack-jaw yokel had this to say…
I can’t possibly think of anything else that could’ve gone wrong.
Most importantly, we can now move on to strictly baseball season.
After an 18-day, tri-country, du-continent road trip the BoSox open up at home today against the winless-less team in baseball the 0-6 Detroit Tigers. The Sox kick off a 20 game in 20 day stint.
A savage road trip, then 20 games in a row. Is MLB giving them June off or something?
Well, while the rest of you slackers spent the week gawking at the UCLA Cheerleaders, I went out and got my own expert.
This is Antea Supervista (pronounced Anti-yah Super-vizzz-talalalala). She’s the Supermodel equal of that gump Lunardo. Part bracketologist, part coitusolgist M.D., mother-trucker.
I let her fill out my bracket during sexy-time yesterday. We’re like going out now. It’s pretty sweet, no big deal.
So me and my lady are going with Memphis (frankly, it was work enough talking her out of Drake beating UCLA and delivering the dream at the same time).
Geoff Young, mastermind behind San Diego Padres blog Ducksnorts, sent me this pic yesterday. It’s from when he brought his loyal brood of readers to a Padres game. Blogger Ballpark love. Love it.
You know you’re in trouble when you stumble upon this headline: CBS gives thumbs up for more reality shows…and there is a picture of Jamie Kennedy sitting right there. Anxiety level, skyrocketing.
“Once upon a time, in the 1960′s, the TV landscape was rife with westerns….”
It. Gets. Better.
“Today, CBS reported two new reality programs in development. Splitsville, which was previously announced, is now going into production. The marital-based series, which comic Jamie Kennedy is executive producing, is not about happy unions.”
god help me.
I’m very much looking forward to hating this band intensely. Right now, I gotta say, it’s not bad. (They’re already in GQ. Christ).
Saturday afternoon debauchery might derail seeing Tennessee/Memphis tomorrow night. Stiles Points breaks down what people are saying about this game nicely.
Historically, I’ve given Memphis almost no credit for anything they’ve done. A sort of Ted Kennedy of college basketball perhaps. However, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Derrick Rose, those guys are something else. I’m taking Memphis, which is a hell of a town by the way.
Courtesy of Complete Sports (great call by the way!), today is the 28th Anniversary of the Second Miracle On Ice.
Not to be confused with the first Miracle on Ice…Jameson Whiskey on the Rocks. Invented by Jesus, on his 9th birthday, a long-ass time ago.
Inspired thoughts:
“It’s amateur hour,” my old colleague Lisa on St. Pattys Day in Hoboken…one week away!
Who you think they’re gonna take in the second round? Me?
