The long awaited debut of Jennifer Hudson’s 2010 version of “One Shining Moment” turned into a dud. It just wasn’t the same as the Teddy P or Luther version. What was up with all the time showing the Oscar winner singing? And why was there no video of the actual ball being tipped?
Great job screwing up the easiest thing CBS. Who edited this version? It seemed like they know nothing about basketball and focused more on making an artistic impression. How do you fail to leave out some of the biggest moments? Didn’t you guys hype this up to be the most exciting tourney ever?
I was so pissed off watching this. Next year why don’t you get William Hung.

When Pete Abraham blogged for popular Lohud Yankees blog, his pre-game updates and in-game updates were possibly the best around. His posts would get several hundred comments per game — but not any more.
Abraham took a new job with Boston.com at the end of last season, and he now covers the rival Red Sox. I decided to stop by and see how Pete’s new gig is going last night with the Yanks playing in Boston. Unfortunately Pete’s in-game notes only generated 81 comments by readers — whereas the in-game post on his old Lohud Yankees blog had 20 times as many comments, with 1,686.
Not surprising of course, but it looks like Pete’s readers didn’t follow him to Boston.com.
The Yankees and Red Sox kick started the 2010 season last night at Fenway. And today the rest of the league takes their turn in quest for a World Series title.
SCP could give you our predictions for division, Cy Young, and MVP winners this year; but everyone and their mother already do that. I would rather focus on what is more important about the game. The food at the ballpark. Thanks to NYC Food Guy we get to take a look at what Citi Field has to offer.
I need a Shake Shack burger immediately.
P.S. And if the Phillies can somehow manage to win at least 94 games this year I would be a happy man.
Chelsea beat Manchester United over the weekend to regain the Premier Leagues’ top spot with five games to go. Without the injured Wayne Rooney the United offense looked inept. The play of Berbatov prompted the striker to try and sneak a pint in until he realized the camera was on him.
Today we start a new weekly feature on the ol’ Crackle. I am a subscriber to Sports Illustrated. I read it religiously, half of the articles on Thursday and half on Friday. You may not be. Perhaps you don’t think its worth the money, or you don’t feel like you have enough time to sit down and read an entire magazine. I’m here to help.
Every Saturday from now until whenever I stop doing this, SportsCracklePop will feature a complete review of the week’s issue of SI.
I’m starting this week for 2 reasons. The first is that I just had the idea yesterday morning. But more importantly, this week’s issue is the magazine’s annual baseball preview, which is one of my two favorite issues of the year (the other being the NBA preview.)
The newest Nike viral video brings us Troy Polamalu, Maria Sharapova, Carl Lewis, Brandon Roy, Sanya Richards, Paula Radcliffe, and Paul Rodriguez getting together to show the public how the actual “AIR” gets into the sneakers.
A couple years ago Steve Nash made an ibeatyou video where he had one minute to try to make as many free throws as he could. The Suns point guard finished with a strong 21.
Now almost two years later poker player Prahlad Friedman gives that number a shot and as you can see bests the NBA All Star by a couple of buckets.
It looks like Dustin Keller is getting into the food blogging game for the New York Times. And by the sounds of it he is a real meat and potatoes kind of guy. His first review is none other than the world famous:
“Peter Luger Steakhouse, on the other side of the Williamsburg Bridge, is amazing. It’s the best steak place I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to my fair share of steak joints. Let’s just say I’ve made more trips to Peter Luger’s since I’ve been here than I’ve made back home to Indiana.”
I can’t wait until he reviews the likes of Momofuku and Porchetta. Keller can become the more athletic version of Sam Sifton.
The Boston Globe is in the middle of a series of “whatever happened to..?” profiles. The latest subject is Bernie Carbo, whose pinch hit home run sent game 6 of the 1975 World Series into extra innings, setting the stage for Carlton Fisk’s dramatic game winner.
But, considering this quote, maybe we should all be a bit more impressed with what Carbo was able to accomplish: Continue Reading
