Were you a nerd as a child? I was something of a hybrid. Not quite a complete outcast, but certainly not one of the cool kids.
(At this point, it is important to note that any comments that get added to this post about how dopey I was as a child will be authored by people who were in my circle of friends at that time, thus proving that they, too, were little geeks.)
Gym teachers and nerds have a longstanding history of animosity, evidenced most recently by this tale, from Westchester County, NY:
All this talk about Artie Lange’s performance on the Joe Buck HBO show brings back memories from about 11 years ago, when another Sports Celebrity’s talk show was derailed by the Howard Stern Army.
They could name a school after Janet Reno, A Miami native and the nation’s first female Attorney General. Or they could name it after Alonzo Mourning, a basketball player who left town when his team got bad then forced his way back when they got good again.
Mark Cuban was on MSNBC today to talk about… well, a bit of everything.
Why is he timely or newsworthy at this moment? I’m not sure. But, Cuban has never been one to turn down a chance to be on TV.
It’s hard to remember that Cuban is actually a really smart guy, and when he isn’t tweeting insults at Kenyon Martin’s mom, he’s worth listening too. Most interesting this time, perhaps, are his thoughts on the President and the economy, essentially saying President Obama doesn’t have a mind for business.
Mario Lemieux welcomed the Pittsburgh Penguins to his house for a celebratory party. And somehow the Stanley Cup ended up in the pool.
At least it wasn’t mistaken for an ashtray like it was last year. IÂ know what I would do if I had the Stanley Cup for a day. Definitely get drunk and tackle the crap out of it.
(That is one kick ass wine cellar, I would sell CC and Justin to have it.)
There is a line between awesome and annoying. I think I have reached that point with these Kobe Bryant and Lebron James puppet commercial by Nike. The only reason why this one is being posted is because of the legendary song that accompanies the ad.
“This is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan is a song that transcends time. It was on my mixtapes back in the 90′s and you know that it will be on this years “ING DOES WILDWOOD 4″ compilation.
Much like Daniel LaRussa, President Obama has beginner’s luck. This has nothing to do with his ability to lead. It has to do with his ability to kill flies.
I can’t believe I didn’t believe anyone Tweeting about this last night. I thought the Chris Hansen Dateline NBC show took precedent, but Artie Lange proved me wrong. Here he is just owning the crap out of Joe Buck’s new show on HBO.
Maybe Artie was just taking his frustrations after he heard the news they canceled his appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. (Language NSFW)
