Well, it's Saturday, and it looks like you're going to get my usual rambling weekday post today instead. The plan had been for me to go to work around noon, making sure I am home for the stunning Notre Dame upset of USC, but the complete lack of parking around my building prevented that. Apparently, today is the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March (I seem to remember that number being disputed, but why let the facts get in the way, right?), and that means I drove around my building for 20 minutes looking for a spot, almost killing several families of 12 who don't know how a fucking crosswalk works. Anyhoo...it's not exactly the Jerry SportsZone, but I have my two TVs on right now and am watching some hot Big Ten action (hell, I even have my glasses on so I can see the bottom line). The Battle for Paul Bunyan's Axe Body Spray on the top TV, the Ohio State/Michigan State game on the bottom TV. I just realized Musberger's doing the OSU game, so I'm switching game placement...one sec...
VH1 never ceases to amaze me. The home of the Surreal Life and Breaking Bonaduce is all set to unveil their newest reality show, "But Can They Sing?" I don't even need a joke here, just look at the list of celebrities competing:
Larry Holmes (I'm sure braindead people are great singers)
Morgan Fairchild (Is Old Navy gonna be upset by this?)
Joe Pantaliano (Joey Pants must have huge alimony payments or something)
Bai Ling (who???)
Antonio Sabato, Jr. (What a hunk)
Michael Copon (who????)
Kim Alexis (some model chick)
Carmine Gotti (one of the idiot Gotti kids from "Growing Up Gotti")
Myrka Dellanos (the Latino Nancy O'Dell)
By the way, forgive me if there are massive typos. I am not a very good typer to begin with, but put me on a laptop with no mouse and it's an absolute disaster. I am attempting to go back and spell check, grammar check, etc. but bear with me...
The FFMD and her gal pal are off at the zoo right now, surely enjoying the monkeys throwing their poop at each other. I am serving as the sports update line for Alabama/Ole Miss (I just realized that game is on CBS...yep, I'm an idiot), and let's just say that my Ole Miss defense is looking money. Go Ed Orgeron. Speaking of the FFMD, she just returned from her annual conference in San Antonio, where she got to meet and small talk with Colin Powell, Jo Dee Messina (who I bet would've given a better effort in Game 5 than super choker Mike Mussina, a pansy just as much to blame for that loss as whipping boy Alex Rodriguez) and Martin Short (who apprently still does Three Amigos bits in his routine) . That trio simply destroys my Dr. Phil/Glenn Frey/Malcolm Gladwell triumvirate.
You would think the Vatican has more important things to worry about...a Jesuit magazine close to the Vatican has condemned boxing as a "legalized form of attempted murder." Why doesn't the Pope worry about priests playing hide the salami with their alter boys instead of meatheads punching each other for 3 minutes at a time? (I will now stop trying to talk about things other than sports or pop culture)
Ohio State knows they have a game today right? They're already down 10-0 at home...and Dennis' 1st round pick Ted Ginn Jr. is a complete waste of life. (UPDATE: Ohio State obviously heard me - it took two minutes since I posted this for them to score)
You gotta hand it to the British, they really know how to spice up their night life...
Whoa, I was sleeping on my remote duties...looks like we've added Northwestern/Purdue, Miami/Temple (ahl), Wake Forest/Boston College (in a driving rainstorm Wake is already up 17-0...Earls and Heath are doing the dance of joy) and Michelle Wie at -6 to my viewing schedule...
Though Greg has returned from Down Under, I'd like to think this is the legacy he left behind...I can just picture Greg at the terminal in Broome International breaking hearts left and right with the TALK key...
All right, I'm off to Quizno's for a delicious and nutritious meatball sub. After I devour that, I'm working in the comments section for the rest of the afternoon. Go Irish!

I'm glad I waited to leave...awesome ending to the half for OSU/MSU...and John L. Smith is going to kill an assistant coach at halftime.
Have I mentioned how awesome it is to have a laptop at home? Well, it's fucking awesome. Purdue's kicker just missed an extra point by, no joke, 12 feet.
Hey, Ted Ginn Jr. IS alive!
Now I now why Jerry needs the three TVs...hell, I don't even think 3 would help right now...so much 4th quarter hot action...
Is it just me, or are 69% of college kickers terrible (I'm looking at the MSU kicker right now)?
Abortive special teams by Minnesota...butter fingers from Drew Stanton...zero defense being played by any Big Ten team...
OK, here comes the Bama kicker to try to prove me wrong...don't be a (lower case) bama buddy.
Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send the volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky,
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to Victory.
If this game starts to go south quickly, I am blaming myself for blogging during it, and stopping immediately.
For instance, what Reggie Bush just did...and did the announcer just call him "the First Amendment with hips"?
Steven Seagal, the comedic gift that just keeps on giving:
Renowned music manager and label-owner Miles Copeland has announced that his client STEVEN SEAGAL has gathered the most vital remaining architects of blues music in the world to record an all-star album in Memphis that will mark SEAGAL’s U.S. debut, with a release date targeted for the first half of 2006. As the blues community mourns the recent loss of R.L. Burnside, Little Milton and Gatemouth Brown (all of whom were scheduled to participate), this gathering will preserve the legacy of significant American artists and their treasured musical talents.
In addition to producing the project, the actor and life-long Delta Blues musician will sing and play guitar with such blues pioneers as Iverson “Louisiana Red” Minter, Ruth Brown, Bo Diddley, James Cotton, Willie “Pine Top” Perkins, Willie Smith, Calvin Jones, Bob Margolin, Hubert Sumlin, Koko Taylor, Tom Brill, “Big” George Brock, David “Honeyboy Edwards,” Robert Lockwood, Jr., “Homesick James” William Henderson and Henry Townsend.
Alternating recording sessions between Memphis’ House of Blues and Sounds Unreel studios, the blues assembly will perform a number of standards plus a few of SEAGAL’s originals. Details re the album’s 2006 release are forthcoming.
“As a devoted musician and student of the blues, I wanted to document the important contribution each of these amazing artists has made to our musical heritage,” says SEAGAL. “I regret that many of the great blues icons are no longer with us, but have no doubt that their spirit will continue to inspire all of us for generations to come.”
Under Copeland’s direction, SEAGAL is also making plans to release his album SONGS FROM THE CRYSTAL CAVE in the U.S. (later in 2006) after the blues album hits the streets. The music encompasses blues-inflected world pop, “incorporating singer-songwriter elements, dance-hall and Indian instrumentation,” as noted by the Los Angeles Times (5/29/05). Featuring such self-penned songs as “Don’t You Cry,” “War,” “Better Man” and “My God,” SONGS FROM THE CRYSTAL CAVE was already released in France--where it was a #1 seller--and will be available throughout Asia in the coming months before the blues album’s international release. In fact, demand for the music has already prompted a six-country tour of Asia that will happen during the first quarter of 2006.
Nice job of answering SC by Quinn and company. I think I need a beer.
I had to look it up:
S-a-m-a-r-d-z-i-j-a
Polish for Touchdown
Zbikowski!!!! Keep scoring fellas, you're gonna need those points in the second half.
The Tribe and Northeastern are headed to double overtime tied at 38. And UMass beat JMU 10-7. Leinart...pick??? Niiiiiiiiice.
So far in this first half, Weis' gameplan is looking pretty damn good...and unless USC gets new CBs at the half, ND better keep going after them in the second half.
Tribe Pride...William and Mary 44, Northeastern 41 (2OT)
Yikes, really bad pass from Mr. Leinart...that's a Neil O'Donnell special (minus the TD of course).
Are we gonna get Booty time, Booty time, across the USA?
Nope...damn it...and hold onto the ball Fasano. Fuck.
Well, that was a real kick in the pants.
Watching Michael Irvin interview Deion Sanders makes me want to light myself on fire.
Hey, shocker, HBO is showing "I, Robot" for the 3,672 time this weekend...
I just spilled coffee all over my desk...my mouse doesn't even work...
Sounds like a case of the Mondays.
It even spilled on my phone, so now when I pick up the receiver I am overcome by the smell of French Roast.
My conference just continues to bring in the heavy hitters...
"Spot a Celebrity! Meet Jamie Farr, Sgt. Klinger from the hit series, M*A*S*H, as he signs autographs Saturday from 1-4pm."
Most recent search that got someone here...
"michelle wie photo picture sexy"
Who would've thunk it...
That, my friend, is child pornography.
And someone looking for derek broka on the world wide web found their way here.
The one thing Gheorghe is not is a child porn site. Childish humor - yes. Child porn - head over to Hot Action.
