I wonder when the first openly gay male professional athlete is going to come out while he's still playing for his team? I bet it will be someone playing for one of the franchises in San Francisco. What better city to play in? Unless a professional team moves to Provincetown.
I would've loved to have refereed an NBA game alongside disgraced-referee Tim Donaghey and his other referee buddies. Any group that makes bets and vows to be the last referee to make a foul call in a game, or the first referee to T-up a player like Rasheed Wallace, must have had one of the funniest "work-days" around!
In just over two months the NCAA men's basketball tournament will start up and it will be Dancing Time! I love that time of year. Yet one thing I don't love about the tournament is how long and how often the TV time-outs are. It seems like the flow of the game is constantly interrupted. Although, taking bathroom breaks never becomes an issue.
If you're a sports bar in New Jersey that cheers for hometown teams like the Jets, Mets, Nets and..... the Devils, do you get pissed off at all that the Devils don't rhyme with the rest of the teams?
You can now order pizza on-line from a few different places. There's nothing quite like taking all the human interaction out of everything nowadays. Whatever happened to picking up a phone and calling someone?
If Sam Adams Brewing Company adds anymore "choice hops" to their beers, I may just choke on a few in the near future. I love their variety of beers, but boy are they spicy!
I love how infomercials always say, "if you call in the next ten minutes, you'll receive blah blah blah". Do they really know when you watched the infomercial on television or do they give that same deal to everyone that calls? I'm not going to find out for myself because I hate infomercials.
I think a G-8 Summit for all the "problem" countries in the world would be a humorous scene straight out of an "Austin Powers" movie. Boy would I like to be a fly on the wall at that meeting. Leaders of countries like Iran, Pakistan, Syria, North Korea, Yemen, Sudan, Venezuela and .... damn! Why can't I think of a suitable 8th country?! Can we still throw Russia on that list for good 'ol times?

By leading with the gay "joke" I actually thought you were going somewhere with that to finally tell your readers what we've all suspected since you left Emerson and went into Acting.
ReplyDeleteThose tv timeouts are even worse when you're at a college game, god bless blackberries for texting and internet reading during the breaks.
Personally I think the Tobin should be higher than the Wang, I mean how often could you see a kid get whipped by an adult with a belt.
