Besides being Greg's favorite guy in the whole world, Ronnie Mervis is the owner of Mervis Diamond Importers here in the Greater DC metro area. How do I know this? Because anytime you turn on a radio around here, one of his commercials is bound to come on, and trust me, they make me laugh every time (especially true when I picture Greg doing his Ronnie Mervis impersonation). Cue the Mervis:
Enjoyed that one? Well, too bad if you didn't, because there's more:
And if that wasn't enjoyment enough, I just discovered that Ronnie Mervis has a blog. No, seriously, he does. Go check it out while I watch some Shoe City and Easterns Motors spots.

wow, we're taking filler to a whole new level up in this bizatch. nice.
TR and TJ are really in a filler groove...and I'm warming up to Greg's new policy of dropping Clerks quotes in every post.
Nice, but it is no Jhoon Rhee karate.
Nobody bother me either. . .
Bad commercial threads on this blog should start and end with mentions of Lowell Stanley and Joynes and Beiber.
Well...now that you've said it, TJ, Greg's unlikely to be heard from around here for weeks.
marlin, you know you're one degree separated from the star of those jhoon rhee commercials, right?
TR - Lowell Stanley is pissed that you failed to address him as "The Hammer". I'd be on the lookout for a legal beatdown.
Yep - I met the immortal Chun Rhee on the back porch of Unit M. Makes those commercials even better.
Ronnie Mervis makes me want to go deep into the diamond mines of South Africa and do dirty things.
smorgasbord of hoops action today. ronnie mervis cuts out the middleman so you can enjoy all the action.
northwestern might have a chance against minnesota if they stop playing 1 v 5.
I finally saw a Shoe City a couple of weeks ago when I was in Baltimore going to get a serious crab cake. the neighborhood was questionable. but, then again, so is all of baltimore. I used to see those commercials all the time when I lived in DC and wondered where those stores were located. definitely not at Tysons.
"a serious crab cake"
Yeah, I bet. How much did that lap dance cost?
scrappy methodists moving on in the big 12.
And Baylor beat Kansas.
yes, that too.
The ghost of Koresh lives in Waco and helps the hometown school.
And Patrick Dennehy (sp?). Don't forget that poor kid. He's Baylor's (non-Wayans) 6th Man.
I think Greg should see if he can get a screen grab of the graphic ESPN just showed, "Penetration with Purpose". He could frame it for his home.
i don't think any so-called bubble team really wants to be in the tournament. it's a festival of suck amongst that group.
I like Ga Tech taking it to Clemson...
I can't take Marquette seriously in those unis.
Here's a stat for you - Kansas' loss today was their first loss EVER in the Big 12 tourney.
And here comes Team Ugly Uni...Villanova looks shellshocked.
4:20!!!
Dammit...missed it. Mother effer.
4:21 is oregano
This Villanova/Marquette game is fantastic.
Holy shit.
talk to me - what happened?
Villanova has the ball on final possession, and the guy at the three point line finds a baseline cutter who gets a reverse layup off with 0.7 on the clock...hits every part of rim and drops in. Nova wins.
Gotta say, never seen a perimeter guy look to pass with under 3 seconds left in a game.
Wow. Was Nova tied or down? Thats about as risky a pass as I've ever heard of if Nova was losing. Would it be possible to cancel all the other major conference tourneys and just play the Big East and ACC tourneys? I mean, does anybody care about or remember anything about any other major conference tourney in the last 6-8 years?
(Time frame based on the fact that I still remember where I was when Kenyon Martin broke his leg in the CUSA Tourney...in a hotel in Key West as Vitas vomited violently and repeatedly in the shower)
Nova was losing...which is what caused me to jump off my (work) stool and scream "Are you fucking kidding me?" in a virtually empty (work place).
Why is your office always so empty TJ? I seem to remember you drinking and watching...um...um...foreign films one day in your office a year or so ago.
With subtitles no less.
I am such a hard worker.
I love Raftery--doesn't matter what game he's calling--he makes it fun to watch.
Why does Hubert Davis look so old. We don't look that old, do we?
no. no, we don't. except for whitney. the years have taken their toll on him.
wvu/pitt game is a classic motivation mismatch. an m-and-m'er, baybee. like cleveland state/butler. i think the neers win going away.
jay bilas is killing the referees in this wvu/pitt game. and he's right.
did the terps get in tonight?
Eers getting it done...Siena better seriously hope they don't draw WVU, Tommy.
okie state. in.
i think clemson bought themselves a piece of siena with their gack this afternoon.
Between the NCAA and NBA, there are a bunch of intriguing basketball games on tonight. Makes me miss my TV setup from the days before I was living in sin.
Oh...and AJ Price might be the most effective offensive flopper I've ever seen.
Mark, I must strenuosly object...
Reggie Miller. The lil' leg kick. Flop-tastic.
Yeah...you're right, but Price has a different style. He throws his whole body into people and rarely gets a good shot attempt off but the refs fall for it nearly every time.
Ans seriously, tonight is ridiculous. UConn-Cuse, Spurs-Lakers, Cavs-Suns. And fucking Florida's playing for its life against Arkansas too. Christ.
Christ.
Play him to his left.
Raise of hands, who has attended an event at MSG?
Anyone who just saw that camera shot knows Billy Packer is one row the Cuse bench. He's in a summer sqush sweater...and a "I must kill the Nantz" tee.
Listen, I'm not a cousin-fucking douchebag, so someone want to tell me what Phillips 66 is?
Really? You don't know?
Raftery is fired up. Nice.
Mark, not only did I indeed know that the Bird is the Word...but I also discovered that We Have Tha Beet...
we have tha beet...
Turn Tha Beet around.
God bless the BE tourney...from work stool to business couch, this guy has had a terrific day.
Andy Rautins Mullet bitches!!!
God damn I love college basketball
So, apparently Flynn, Harris and the second best guy on a good Niagara team were on the same high school squad. I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm betting they didn't lose many games.
Do Rautins and Devendorf even speak to one another? I mean, based strictly on physical appearances (which is pretty much how I live my life) you couldn't have two white college basketball players farther apart on the spectrum.
And...I know why Raftery's so fired up. He's showing off for Bilas because of Jay's obvious love for Raftery.
I didn't know about the Niagara guy, but I had heard about Flynn and Harris.
Oh man, to Mark's point, the Bilas/Raf relationship reached epic proportions during the second half of Cuse/Seton Hall last night. There was some smooching under the Onuaku miss.
TJ, I hope you heard that. Sean McDonough just stole my material.
You don't have to say "to Mark's point", its probably just us at this point.
Oh, I heard it...
We Got Tha Beet..we got thatbeet...We Got Thabeet
Much like Jimmy Fraggle Rock, I'm all in...
Ohhhh, now Stanley Robinson decides he has talent
Block out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We'll, it's just the two of us...everyone else is missing out.
I must sound like Johnny Big East...but this Cuse/UConn game is awesome too.
This game is terrific. Has anyone explained what Gerry MacNamara is doing these days?
They showed him last night with a 4 to his 13...
I would never give Devendorf the ball like that in a late game situation.
Hey...they got thabeet
They got thabeet
They. Got. Thabeet
Fuck you Kemba Walker.
Stop it.
My boy just snuck in and got you. I'm not mad at the prospect of OT.
OMG!!!!
HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT!
Well then...........
That isn't going to count.
ho lee shit
No dissasemble. Number 5 alive
The BE tourney has fulfilled the promise of March Madness today
i hate devendorf, but i hate uconn. so conflicted.
I luv him, Mark hates em...
Un
Real
Stan
Ley
Mulllletttt!!!!!!!!
Anybody else notice that since I called Stanley Robinson out a couple of weeks ago (some thing about the collegiate Tim Thomas), he's been killing people? I think we have a new fan, folks.
calhoun needs to use some of that $12M to buy some suits that fit him
Miss a shot you lazy fuck
Why do you run a play for a 3 there? That makes no sense whatsoever.
Jesus Christ this game is great.
Rick Jackson...you bad mutha...I gotta uncork more wine...
The MSG deejay needs to update his tunes. Rock Jock Vol 3 isn't going to cut it for this game
Jay, the more "un-Jeff Adrien" move is holding on to Australia in RISK.
Mark, Shlara...thanks for wnjoying...
Son. Of. A . Bitch.
Fucking Flynn!!!
And you bet your ass our boy Dave helps Johnny just for me
You stoopid wigger.
This gane is fucking out of control.
seriously???
You are all gay for sleeping...
It's WAY past my bedtime, but I can't turn this off. And I hate both of these teams.
Shlara, I apoligize.you've been here the whole time
This is game is completely ridiculous. I barely noticed most of Florid second half and the entire 1st half of Suns-Cavs has passed with me barely seeing any live action.
yes, and for us old folks, it's really hard to stay awake this long
Shlara, let's be honest, our boy squirrel, he's gay right?
Fuck off TJ...
I wish we could watch at Jimmy Kimmel's house. Apparently he has like 27 big screen HDTVs. We could watch everything at once
stop picking on squirrel. he has kids. he has to sleep. you, me and Mark apparently have no one to care for, so we can stay up, watch triple OT and drink all we want
No. No. No. No. No. No. No
Its true...and its awesome.
I was addressing Shlara. Not the psychopath in the back.
Hey you, settle down...Mark has to go play daddy after Cuse blows this, and my wife went to sleep when she felt "this was over"
and, since i'm not drinking, i think TJ might be making up for my share tonight
Who's got two thumbs and love the Patriot League Final?
This guy...and rob
"Oh my goodness"...thanks for that Jeff Adrien.
Listen...quadruple OT kills my quiltin sked, but...
Mark, that made me laugh too...
wow--I totally remember that game!! I'm old.
Paul Harris!
Jeff Adrien is a bitch
God
Fucking
Dammit
Ok, we go to four OTs, we reveal one horrible secret each?
Eat me
like a game of "truth or dare?"
I'm convinced that I'm never going to sleep tonight.
WHO'S AWAKE!!!!!!!
unbelievable.
I guess you're going first TJ...
the Dorf kid looks like he's going to cry
OK, so yesterday's zipper story want enuff?
Awful call.
TJ, that was funny. Not very believable, but very funny.
Uh oh...thye had Tha Beet they had Tha Beet...
They jhad thabeet
I hate to say this TJ, but maybe you don't even want the Cuse to win after all this. They'll need the rest.
It is pretty amazing that it took him until the 4th OT to foul out
Greatest non-march madness game ever?
Yep
Mark, he just cost us 5th OT.
We now both hate Paul.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Paul Harris = Charles Smith
I hate you
Harold reynolds will tell you, its well documented, racists play more monutes
no!!! make it stop!!
Fuck it...I'm breaking out a banana...I'm getting angelo pappas...
I told you so TJ...
both of these teams should advance. kick out louisville
I had the very same reaction to the 3rd OT...with a different apparatus, obviously.
this reminds me of the Caps-Pens playoff game from like 10 years ago. 4OTs, went til like 2:30am
Shlara, you're the non-Spicoli in the group
Who gave AJ Price amn iMac?
the walk-ons are playing? oh boy
For gods sake, 2-3 zone....
Just let the walk-on hit the game winner so we can all go to bed.
Patrick-Chewing. Funny.
Like the 2009 version of Hoosiers. But with near-professional teams...I love that movie!!!
I'm out of decent white
Seriously, my liver can't do 6
This is unlike anything I've ever experienced as a sports fan.
Yep, here we go, the walk on makes it,,,I hate yuconn
these poor kids are going to collapse
I'm in the "yo adrian" mode too sean
I'm totally sleeping in tomorrow and going to work late
I'm not gonna lie. I just want this game to end.
And the legit reason is....I WATCHED THIS
Oh, Ill lie...I want Johnny five to not come alive
Listen, let's go 6 OTs...
Mark...they loving ur biy...
I'm gonna take this 6OT momwnt to guess that this ne Nic Cage movie sucks balls
biy?
Raf made a Sudoku joke
TJ--Jay Bilas just asked you to wake up your friends. He's telling you to call Rob
She's right again.
I love you guys.
Me and tiny have a conf final tom.
But guess what, 5 OTs had quite an effect here
TJ's making no sense, which isn't very surprising. I haven't even been drinking and I feel a little slappy.
epic game. i'm going to bed. TJ--have fun at AU tomorrow. Mark, I'm going to the Wiz/Magic game, and I don't want any gloating out of you tomorrow.
Fucking Cuse
Take a wild guess how exhausted/hungover this guy is today?
