Random Thoughts On A Friday Afternoon
Here are some random thoughts to end your week:
NBC needs to let YouTube air Olympics clips. Nobody's buying DVD's of our gymnastics teams falling, track teams dropping batons, or boxing teams not winning.
Chad Johnson, according to 790 AM, has changed his name to Ocho Cinco. Remember this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifeJ_3NA6IU) I love this guy.
The Democratic Convention has been very entertaining. I'm excited to see what the Early Bird crowd puts on at the Republican Convention.
Adam "Don't Call Me Pacman" Jones is back. Let the countdown to his next arrest begin. Don't get any ideas Chris Henry.
I think this might put Usain Bolt into Jordan Farmar territory for me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=699Pd010m3Q . . . Ok, maybe not that high.
Vin Diesel got another starring role? How does that happen? What did the decision making look like? "Ok, we've got this horrible movie and we need an even worse actor, is Keanu available? No? Paul Walker? No? Vin Diesel? YES! I smell another Dark Knight in the making!
The Kaiser Permanente kid www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7O693mzp6M is great.
Al Gore needs to start every speech by apologizing to Americans for blowing the 2000 election and thereby screwing over the country for the better part of the next decade.
It's not good to start a "Today's Pick" idea with a resounding loss. I should have prefaced the idea with another disclaimer. You know those Directv commercials with Jimmy Kimmel talking about the games you missed last year if you didn't have the NFL package? You know the one where he talks about the 51-45 shootout between the Browns and Bengals? Well, I have the NFL package. I was watching that game. And I vividly remember it . . . because I had the under. These are the things I feel you should know before trusting my game picking acumen.
Could John McCain be any more obvious with his VP pick in trying to court former Hillary supporters? That being said, if the Democrats blow this election, let's just say I'll be more hopeful of UCLA beating USC in football than I will be of seeing a Democrat at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue any time soon. Although, after seeing the pictures, I'll bet Bill Clinton is wondering why he didn't make Palin his VP 16 years ago. Seriously though, whose job am I more qualified to hold than the person who actually holds it, the Republican VP nominee or the UCLA starting QB? Do you want to put your money on John McCain surviving his presidential term with Tina Fey one step away from succeeding him? How big of a favorite is Biden in the debate with Palin? Do they even make numbers that big. I feel like being a five-year old and saying infinity to one. He may even make her cry. (I didn't come up with the Tina Fey thing, but I forget which one of my friends did. Sorry for not giving credit where credit is due.)
If you're going to drive the speed limit, please get out of the fast lane on the freeway.
The Nationals? We're getting knocked around by the Nationals now? This is pathetic. Watch Colorado win the NL West.
If a game is not currently in progress, can A-Rod still strike out when it matters? Is he always 1 minute late to the parking meter and finding parking tickets? Does he triple-bogey the 18th hole to just miss breaking 80 when he plays golf? It's fun to think of new situations in which you can pull an A-Rod. Whatever, the guy has $252 million. Although knowing him, he probably invested it all in E-Trade and Washington Mutual a year ago.
I like the new commercial with the Williams sisters and the Manning brothers. Eli finally got to speak!
I had the 2nd pick in my fantasy league and got Adrian Peterson. Translation: O/U on games for Purple Jesus this year is at 7. Pick up Chester Taylor and thank me later.
Lil' Wayne's officially off of the list after hearing of his SNL appearance. It's been a long time since 500 Degreez.
Robby Ginepri is pulling an A-Rod in his U.S. Open match right now. I wonder if A-Rod and Karl Malone exchange emails about not coming through. Would Karl Malone talk in the Jimmy Kimmel voice?
David Duchovny is going to rehab, for a sex addiction. Who is he, Chazz Michael Michaels?
Shawne Merriman is beyond foolish.
I have a feeling Barack Obama did well in his public speaking and trial advocacy classes.
Today's Pick: Rice -3.5

First of all, very disappointing pick in the under of Stanford-Oregon State, hopefully your Rice pick comes through today. Secondly, you better not get ahead of yourself with the Dems "blowing" the election. Palin was a great choice, and will be the first female VP come November, so you might as well go and bet on the Bruins over the Trojans while the odds are still ridiculous.
