Random thoughts and observations...


How long before Joe Pesci shows up on 24? I mean, sometime very soon, they are going to run out of short actors who have to look up to Jack Bauer, right? Maybe Danny DeVito is available?
And, I love the show and everything -- but it might be time to re-think the whole idea of Jack's family being involved in the terrorism plot.
The fact that everything happens within a 20 mile radius of CTU is one thing, but the idea that Jack's brother and dad are involved in this whole thing makes me think the shark is swimming right at Jack Bauer and the rest of the gang.

Not saying that Tim Brewster signing his son Clint to play QB for him at the U of M wasn’t a good thing, but if you can’t get your kid to come and play for you – what kind of message does that send to other recruits?

***
When it gets right down to it, college basketball games like Rider vs. Iona is the “do you do too much online gambling” litmus test.

***
Add this to the “reasons its okay to start drinking before noon” list: It’s -6 degrees right now and the high today is going to be 4 above. Oh, and its snowing enough that if we lived anywhere else in the country, schools would be closed. Tell me again why we live here?

***
Sometimes I wonder what ever happened to Randy “Macho Man” Savage. Did he and Miss Elizabeth have kids and end up living in Boca? Does he live near his brother Leaping Lanny Poffo?

***
There aren’t many things I have to do over the next few months. But one thing that must get done is me drafting Howie Kendrick during all three of my roto drafts this spring.

***
Gary Payton getting suspended for talking back to an official is like Carmela Soprano yelling at Tony for cheating. How will that change anything and at the end of the day, what’s the point?

***
Billy’s Joel’s rendition of the Star Spangled Banner during the super bowl wasn’t quite Whitney Houston at the 1991 super bowl was it? Don’t remember it? Check it out here:

Eddie Guardado just re-signed with the Reds. Not sure how everyone else feels, but I wouldn’t even want him pitching on my softball team this year.

From the east coast. To the west coast. Down the Dixie Highway Back home.
This is ouuuuuuuur country!

That song is stuck in my head; it might as well be stuck in yours.

that's so true about the short co-starts. I never really noticed that but it's totally right. genius.

I have been proposing the great 24 "jump the shark" theory of 2007 for a bit as well. very disappointing.

btw, glad the splog (or a new and improved version of it) is back.
