Better Late Than Never
This was supposed to be posted yesterday but I was interrupted and never got the chance to.
Biggest news of the day for me, Arrested Development has been canceled by Fox. There won’t be an episode on until December 5 and they cut the number of episodes from 22 to 13. This comes down to one thing, America is stupid. AD is a very smart show. Very much along the same lines as New Radio and Seinfeld. Those shows succeeded in the early to mid 1990s. So does this mean that America is getting dumber as we progress into the 21st century? I would say yes. I’m so mad about this. I also blame the move to Monday night. It was the perfect follow up to the Simpsons. Now Fox has some horrible show on after the Simpsons with that white guy who thinks he’s black. I hate dumb America.
Moving on…
LeBron was unbelievable the other night against the Sonics. I know that Rashard Lewis got hurt early in the game, but LeBron didn’t look like he was going to stop for anyone. It was almost like he was showing Ray Allen what he was missing. It made me laugh. That and Luke Ridenour running out of the way like a little girl when Marshall oopped LeBron.
I meant to comment on this earlier in the week but I forgot. I was talking to Joe Saturday night and I brought up my Bobby Bowden Theory. Here’s the theory, if you have a tie to Bobby, you’re a head coach, and you’re on the hot seat, play FSU and win. Think about it, Tommy Bowden beats his dad two years ago when he was all but fired from a horribly underachieving Clemson team. Then this year Chuck Amato is all but gone (I know, I live in the area), but he goes down to T-hole and pulls off a “miraculous” upset. Give me a break. NC State almost lost to Southern Miss the week before. Drew Weatherford had been playing much better. But very conveniently the wheels fall off of the FSU wagon. Why not? There out of the Rose Bowl picture and they’ve all but got their division wrapped up. Why not throw your old assistant a bone.
Is it just me or does this year’s Alabama squad really resemble the 2002 Ohio State Buckeyes? Think about it, both play great defense, great special teams, have a veteran, savvy quarterback who will beat you with his brain rather than his arm, and a knack for winning really close games. Even games in which their offense doesn’t show up. The real test for Bama will be this weekend against LSU. LSU is really good, but to me they just don’t have that presence this year. I don’t know what that means, but it makes sense to me.
Has anyone else noticed Yao Ming’s neck beard. It’s really only under his chin, but still. Why doesn’t he just grow a wispy goatee?
I stayed up and watched the Suns/Pistons game last night. And it was well worth it. It was one of the most clutch performances that I’ve seen in a while. In the last five minutes of that game all five of the Pistons starters hit big shots. While the Suns were constantly calling on Nash. Not that Nash isn’t great, but when you have a different guy to answer every time it makes it tough because the chance of the other team going cold is greatly decreased. Even though Rasheed and Prince were both raining jumpers in the 4th and Rip hit the game tying shot and Chauncy hit the go ahead three, I thought the play that really deflated the Suns was Ben Wallace put-back. Prince put up a turnaround on the right block that came up short. Wallace comes flying from across the lane, grabs the ball with one hand, and tomahawked it home. I was lying on the couch and literally sat up and said holy shit.
I had other stuff I was going to write about but I left my notes at work. So much for that. I’m going to get back downstairs so I can enjoy my Saturday of football. And oh what a Saturday it will be.

I noticed Yao's neck beard earlier this week. I like to call it the shadow beard becuase when you first see it you can't tell if it's a neck beard or a shadow.
Luke Ridnour IS a litte girl. Ray Allen should NEVER be allowed say he plays for rings...no you don't, you play for money.
Hey America! You suck, thanks for watching Wife Swap and Nanny 911 but completely ignoring a show like Arrested Development...seriously, blow me.
