Screwed in My Hotel


I'm not sure that I really have all that much to say tonight, but the Sheraton in Phoenix is charging me 13 bux a day for internet access, so I gotta do whatever I can to get my money's worth. At this moment, I'm playing poker, surfing porn, and updating my blog. You can guess which one will get the least attention.

Yesterday I openly wondered if there was really enough talent in Phoenix to support six Hooters establishment. This evening I had the opportunity to answer that question, and unfortunately, it was a definitive "NO." Much like the NBA and MLB, it appears that the product at Hooters has been diluted by overexpansion. It's a pretty bad sign when a chick's cellulite is so bad that it's still able to show through the dark nylons that are part of the Hooters uniforms. Maybe this particular branch was just the Devil Rays version of the Hooters' franchise. I'll give one of the other locations another chance tomorrow night. I do still need a place to watch the Pac 10 tournament anyway.

I stopped watching the Washington/Oregon game early in the 2nd half, as it looked like Washington was comfortably in front and was going to cruise to victory. I even just wrote a paragraph about how Washington and UCLA looked like they were on a collision course to meet in the finals. But now I'm looking at a scoreboard, and not only did the Huskies lose, but by double digits. How the hell did that happen? Did the cheapshot from Aaron Brooks somehow pump up his teammates? Did Oregon's cheerleaders parade around topless in the second half? I need answers!

In other tournament news: Air Force coach Jeff Bzdelik just had his team's NCAA hopes dashed in Denver's Pepsi Center- the same arena that he was run out of last season with the Nuggets...Tommy Amaker's late season collapse just got him run out of Michigan...Gerry McNamara has picked a good time to be clutch. He's playing so well, that I can almost think about something other than his pathetic leprechaun beard whenever I see him. This mini-run combined with beating the #1 team in the nation should get them into the NCAAs...However beating the #1 team is not in itself enough to secure an invitation. Just ask Florida State in a few days...

In the NBA Dance Bracket, Phoenix and the Nets should advance by the end of the night. Tomorrow brings us Orlando vs Cleveland and New Orleans/Oklahoma vs Golden State. Orlando's Kasey is a massage therapist, which is worth major points, and Jenny says a prayer before every dance routine where she asks God to help her perform 110%. I'm not sure if the breakdown is 100% Jenny and 10% God or what. I try not to let math get involved with my prayers, other than to ask God to help my bets cover the spread.
New Orleans has a pretty poor website for their dancers. There are no bios, and a limited number of pictures. But a few of the girls are smoking hot, so that's enough for me. Go Hornets!

The NFL QB carousel should begin in a few days. Culpepper to Miami followed by Brees to Minnesota looks like a possibility. If the Chargers do end up letting Brees walk, I think they're looking at a five win season next year...

For some reason, my laptop seems to be running out of juice despite being plugged in. Maybe the Sheraton shuts off the electricity at night unless you pay an additional surcharge. Bastids.

the picture says it all. champ oguchi went off for 300 second half points on 75 three pointers. the huskies turned it over about 16 times in a 2 min. span. i hate being a fan sometimes.
