Don’t Get Excited For NCAA Basketball 10: Gus Johnson Will Do That For You
October 2nd, 2009This is a trailer for NCAA Basketball 10. It is narrated by Gus Johnson.
If I put two and two together, I get OH MY GOODNESS1!@!!!ELEVEN1! GUS JOHNSON WILL BE THE PLAY-BY PLAY GUY IN THE NEW NCAA BASKETBALL GAME!
I’d be excited, but Johnson actually sounds subdued here, rattling off “From the parking lot!” and “The slipper still fits!” more as cliches than spontaneous moments of exuberance. Also, NCAA’s been a terrible game in the last few years, and it would take more than Gus’ cries to get me to buy in.

Roger Federer Remembers the Titans
September 22nd, 2009I have no idea why this exists or why Roger Federer would be chanting. I just know it’s mesmerizing.

Best Linda Cohn tweet OF ALL TIME.
Twitter: Bringing you Linda Cohn’s vague awareness of pop culture since 2009.
Post may be mostly an excuse to share a meme that is going to go from golden to overplayed in about four hours.

Vaya con Dios, Esteban.
It’s silly and trivial and stupid to be upset that Chad Ochocinco is apparently leaving Twitter.

Ironic Headlines Are the Best

Sure, "scuffle," whatever you say.
Considering LeGarrette Blount’s cold-cocking of Boise State’s Byron Hout, this is a funny little headline.

Ron Artest’s Heart Will Go On; His Singing Career Won’t

Ron Artest Has a Cow
August 27th, 2009
I just...
You see the above, and you think Ron Artest can’t get weirder.
Then you see this video.
If I’m working for VH1/Spike/TNT/Versus/whatever UPN is nowadays, I’ve got a reality show proposal (“Basically, we’re just going to film your day, no script needed”) on Ron-Ron’s desk or in his Twitter replies as of 9 AM yesterday.
I cannot imagine even Speidi being more bizarrely riveting than Ron Artest’s life.
Kenny Chesney Pens “Exclusive” Song for ESPN; College Football Viewers To Learn How Forever Feels
August 26th, 2009
This fall's Saturday troubadour.
It will be agony sitting through Kenny Chesney’s music while waiting for kickoff. The money quote, from something called Music Row:
“It was one of those moments of spontaneous inspiration,” (Chesney) recalls. “We were talking about how much goes into getting on that field, what it means to those guys out there… and Bill Bonnell turns to me and says, ‘You oughta write a song about it… ‘I mean, there we were at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse with [announcer] Brett Musburger, [sports analyst] Kirk Herbstreit and the head producer of ESPN Saturday Night Football on ABC [Bonnell]—and the next morning I’m gonna do College Game Day—and it just hit me! I asked for a cocktail napkin, and started writing the verses and the chorus.”
The song will be called “This Is Our Moment” and probably emasculate all who hear it.

This Is Not A Joke: Brady Quinn Is Ripped
August 26th, 2009
It's like Spicoli took steroids.
If this whole football thing doesn’t work out for Brady Quinn, he could probably open a GNC. Tons more pictures of his cover shoot at Muscle and Fitness, and some reaction (The first comment: “He looked much better in college actually. He’s starting to get that Val Kilmer look to him.”) at Outsports.
(Spotted at Pablog; I concur on the “workout warrior may not be NFL quarterback” point.)
