The Nightly Buzz...

Tonight, I have the attention span of Kate Moss at Robert Downey Jr's Christmas party. So I apologize for the incoherence of this entry.

While grocery shopping today, there was a bottle of TGIF Long Island Iced Tea that for some reason was calling out to me. I'm not sure why that was- at last check, I did have a penis, and I wasn't expecting any college freshmen to drop by my house. But I bought the bottle anyway. Quick review: The first glass tastes like you drank some Kool Aid, threw it up into a glass, and then drank it again. The second glass tastes like lemonade mixed with goat piss. But the third glass...oh that third glass is like honeysuckle nectar...

Tho I didn't post it here, I had quite a bit of action on the NBA tonight. So my evening was spent watching NBA League Pass and ESPN- and breaking things around the house. The sportsbooks didn't just kick my ass. They kicked my ass, shot my dog, and stole my bible...

By the way, if any neighbors happen to come across this blog, I apologize for all of the obscenities you may have overheard. I just wasn't expecting this to be the night that the Clippers realized they were the Clippers...

ESPN's NBA shootaround crew is obviously trying to imitate the irreverance and spontanaity that's made the TNT team so successful. Other than having no charisma or sense of humor, they're dead on...

Overheard on ESPN: an announcer excusing a referee's error, "It looked so much like a travel that maybe it wasn't." Surprisingly Violet Palmer wasn't on duty that night...

Also, Bill Walton excusing a referee's error: "Obviously the referee had a much better angle than our half court camera."

It's too bad that the only ones that ever have to pay the price for NBA referees sucking are head coaches when they mention it. I know David Stern doesn't believe in admission of guilt, but the occasional censure of a referee might do something to add to the credibility of the game...

For some reason during a highlight of a Fred Jones dunk, Greg Anderson screamed, "Cashews!" If anyone can explain that to me, I'd be much obliged...

Tom Tolbert on Yao Ming, "When he gets the ball where he's comfortable and doesn't have to make an athletic-type move, he's almost unstoppable." That's what 75 million buys you these days. A guy that's money from 8 feet if uncontested. Franchise, baby...

Baron Davis w/ the first 9 points for the Warriors, including a reverse jam on an alley-oop that's sure to be SportsCenter's top plays. He followed that up by going behind the back off the dribble and then converting a sweet reverse layup. I now have a Dick Vitale basketball boner (a b-and-b-er) for Baron...and it's scintillating, sensational baby!...

Remember that one season in San Antonio when Derek Anderson was being hyped as an up-and-coming star in the league? How did that work out? He's a cautionary tale for Joe Johnson fans...

Steven A Smith reporting that as many as 17 teams are interested in Ron Artest. Let's see: the guy sabotaged his team one season, then abandoned it the next. And half the league wants him. Are Mitch Kupchak and Isaiah Thomas the role models for all the league's GMs now???

I'm starting the buzz now- Chauncey Billups for MVP. I know the Pistons have a ton of talent, but anytime the Pistons need a big play, Chauncey steps it up. Spread the word...

Can't remember if I've complained about this before, but I absolutely hate when the tv comes back from timeout with a shot of the cheerleaders dancing- only the chicks are covered up by ads. That's not the way to get my business, State Farm...

ESPN reporting that the University of Colorado has hired Dan Hawkins as their new football head coach. When asked for comment, Dan said, "Where the orgy at?"

Here's a lil' story about Mike Dunleavy: Mike Dunleavy sucks. End of story...

Tom Tolbert just outcoached Mike Montgomery on an inbounds play. That should be cause for dismissal right there. ..

Tolbert explaining Montgomery's coaching error: "Maybe it's harder than I think it is."

And of course, the Rockets beat the Warriors in OT and complete the shutout on my sports betting today. Time to finish that Iced Tea.
