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.
ReplyDeleteTR 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.
ReplyDeleteNice, but it is no Jhoon Rhee karate.
ReplyDeleteNobody bother me either. . .
Bad commercial threads on this blog should start and end with mentions of Lowell Stanley and Joynes and Beiber.
ReplyDeleteWell...now that you've said it, TJ, Greg's unlikely to be heard from around here for weeks.
ReplyDeletemarlin, you know you're one degree separated from the star of those jhoon rhee commercials, right?
ReplyDeleteTR - Lowell Stanley is pissed that you failed to address him as "The Hammer". I'd be on the lookout for a legal beatdown.
ReplyDeleteYep - I met the immortal Chun Rhee on the back porch of Unit M. Makes those commercials even better.
ReplyDeleteRonnie Mervis makes me want to go deep into the diamond mines of South Africa and do dirty things.
ReplyDeletesmorgasbord of hoops action today. ronnie mervis cuts out the middleman so you can enjoy all the action.
ReplyDeletenorthwestern might have a chance against minnesota if they stop playing 1 v 5.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDelete"a serious crab cake"
ReplyDeleteYeah, I bet. How much did that lap dance cost?
scrappy methodists moving on in the big 12.
ReplyDeleteAnd Baylor beat Kansas.
ReplyDeleteyes, that too.
ReplyDeleteThe ghost of Koresh lives in Waco and helps the hometown school.
ReplyDeleteAnd Patrick Dennehy (sp?). Don't forget that poor kid. He's Baylor's (non-Wayans) 6th Man.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletei don't think any so-called bubble team really wants to be in the tournament. it's a festival of suck amongst that group.
ReplyDeleteI like Ga Tech taking it to Clemson...
ReplyDeleteI can't take Marquette seriously in those unis.
ReplyDeleteHere's a stat for you - Kansas' loss today was their first loss EVER in the Big 12 tourney.
ReplyDeleteAnd here comes Team Ugly Uni...Villanova looks shellshocked.
4:20!!!
ReplyDeleteDammit...missed it. Mother effer.
ReplyDelete4:21 is oregano
ReplyDeleteThis Villanova/Marquette game is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHoly shit.
ReplyDeletetalk to me - what happened?
ReplyDeleteVillanova 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.
ReplyDeleteGotta 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?
ReplyDelete(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).
ReplyDeleteWhy 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.
ReplyDeleteWith subtitles no less.
ReplyDeleteI am such a hard worker.
I love Raftery--doesn't matter what game he's calling--he makes it fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Hubert Davis look so old. We don't look that old, do we?
ReplyDeleteno. no, we don't. except for whitney. the years have taken their toll on him.
ReplyDeletewvu/pitt game is a classic motivation mismatch. an m-and-m'er, baybee. like cleveland state/butler. i think the neers win going away.
ReplyDeletejay bilas is killing the referees in this wvu/pitt game. and he's right.
ReplyDeletedid the terps get in tonight?
ReplyDeleteEers getting it done...Siena better seriously hope they don't draw WVU, Tommy.
ReplyDeleteokie state. in.
ReplyDeletei 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.
ReplyDeleteOh...and AJ Price might be the most effective offensive flopper I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteMark, I must strenuosly object...
ReplyDeleteReggie 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.
ReplyDeleteAns seriously, tonight is ridiculous. UConn-Cuse, Spurs-Lakers, Cavs-Suns. And fucking Florida's playing for its life against Arkansas too. Christ.
Christ.
ReplyDeletePlay him to his left.
Raise of hands, who has attended an event at MSG?
ReplyDeleteAnyone 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.
ReplyDeleteListen, I'm not a cousin-fucking douchebag, so someone want to tell me what Phillips 66 is?
ReplyDeleteReally? You don't know?
ReplyDeleteRaftery is fired up. Nice.
ReplyDeleteMark, not only did I indeed know that the Bird is the Word...but I also discovered that We Have Tha Beet...
ReplyDeletewe have tha beet...
Turn Tha Beet around.
ReplyDeleteGod bless the BE tourney...from work stool to business couch, this guy has had a terrific day.
ReplyDeleteAndy Rautins Mullet bitches!!!
God damn I love college basketball
ReplyDeleteSo, 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.
ReplyDeleteDo 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd...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.
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteTJ, I hope you heard that. Sean McDonough just stole my material.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to say "to Mark's point", its probably just us at this point.
ReplyDeleteOh, I heard it...
ReplyDeleteWe Got Tha Beet..we got thatbeet...We Got Thabeet
Much like Jimmy Fraggle Rock, I'm all in...
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, now Stanley Robinson decides he has talent
ReplyDeleteBlock out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe'll, it's just the two of us...everyone else is missing out.
ReplyDeleteI must sound like Johnny Big East...but this Cuse/UConn game is awesome too.
ReplyDeleteThis game is terrific. Has anyone explained what Gerry MacNamara is doing these days?
ReplyDeleteThey showed him last night with a 4 to his 13...
ReplyDeleteI would never give Devendorf the ball like that in a late game situation.
ReplyDeleteHey...they got thabeet
ReplyDeleteThey got thabeet
They. Got. Thabeet
Fuck you Kemba Walker.
ReplyDeleteStop it.
ReplyDeleteMy boy just snuck in and got you. I'm not mad at the prospect of OT.
OMG!!!!
ReplyDeleteHOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT!
ReplyDeleteWell then...........
ReplyDeleteThat isn't going to count.
ReplyDeleteho lee shit
ReplyDeleteNo dissasemble. Number 5 alive
ReplyDeleteThe BE tourney has fulfilled the promise of March Madness today
ReplyDeletei hate devendorf, but i hate uconn. so conflicted.
ReplyDeleteI luv him, Mark hates em...
ReplyDeleteUn
ReplyDeleteReal
Stan
Ley
Mulllletttt!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnybody 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.
ReplyDeletecalhoun needs to use some of that $12M to buy some suits that fit him
ReplyDeleteMiss a shot you lazy fuck
ReplyDeleteWhy do you run a play for a 3 there? That makes no sense whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ this game is great.
ReplyDeleteRick Jackson...you bad mutha...I gotta uncork more wine...
ReplyDeleteThe MSG deejay needs to update his tunes. Rock Jock Vol 3 isn't going to cut it for this game
ReplyDeleteJay, the more "un-Jeff Adrien" move is holding on to Australia in RISK.
ReplyDeleteMark, Shlara...thanks for wnjoying...
ReplyDeleteSon. Of. A . Bitch.
ReplyDeleteFucking Flynn!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you bet your ass our boy Dave helps Johnny just for me
You stoopid wigger.
ReplyDeleteThis gane is fucking out of control.
ReplyDeleteseriously???
ReplyDeleteYou are all gay for sleeping...
ReplyDeleteIt's WAY past my bedtime, but I can't turn this off. And I hate both of these teams.
ReplyDeleteShlara, I apoligize.you've been here the whole time
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteyes, and for us old folks, it's really hard to stay awake this long
ReplyDeleteShlara, let's be honest, our boy squirrel, he's gay right?
ReplyDeleteFuck off TJ...
ReplyDeleteI wish we could watch at Jimmy Kimmel's house. Apparently he has like 27 big screen HDTVs. We could watch everything at once
ReplyDeletestop 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
ReplyDeleteNo. No. No. No. No. No. No
ReplyDeleteIts true...and its awesome.
ReplyDeleteI was addressing Shlara. Not the psychopath in the back.
ReplyDeleteHey 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"
ReplyDeleteand, since i'm not drinking, i think TJ might be making up for my share tonight
ReplyDeleteWho's got two thumbs and love the Patriot League Final?
ReplyDeleteThis guy...and rob
"Oh my goodness"...thanks for that Jeff Adrien.
ReplyDeleteListen...quadruple OT kills my quiltin sked, but...
ReplyDeleteMark, that made me laugh too...
ReplyDeletewow--I totally remember that game!! I'm old.
ReplyDeletePaul Harris!
ReplyDeleteJeff Adrien is a bitch
ReplyDeleteGod
ReplyDeleteFucking
Dammit
Ok, we go to four OTs, we reveal one horrible secret each?
ReplyDeleteEat me
ReplyDeletelike a game of "truth or dare?"
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that I'm never going to sleep tonight.
ReplyDeleteWHO'S AWAKE!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteunbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI guess you're going first TJ...
ReplyDeletethe Dorf kid looks like he's going to cry
ReplyDeleteOK, so yesterday's zipper story want enuff?
ReplyDeleteAwful call.
ReplyDeleteTJ, that was funny. Not very believable, but very funny.
ReplyDeleteUh oh...thye had Tha Beet they had Tha Beet...
ReplyDeleteThey 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.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty amazing that it took him until the 4th OT to foul out
ReplyDeleteGreatest non-march madness game ever?
ReplyDeleteYep
Mark, he just cost us 5th OT.
ReplyDeleteWe now both hate Paul.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
ReplyDeletePaul Harris = Charles Smith
ReplyDeleteI hate you
ReplyDeleteHarold reynolds will tell you, its well documented, racists play more monutes
ReplyDeleteno!!! make it stop!!
ReplyDeleteFuck it...I'm breaking out a banana...I'm getting angelo pappas...
ReplyDeleteI told you so TJ...
ReplyDeleteboth of these teams should advance. kick out louisville
ReplyDeleteI had the very same reaction to the 3rd OT...with a different apparatus, obviously.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of the Caps-Pens playoff game from like 10 years ago. 4OTs, went til like 2:30am
ReplyDeleteShlara, you're the non-Spicoli in the group
ReplyDeleteWho gave AJ Price amn iMac?
ReplyDeletethe walk-ons are playing? oh boy
ReplyDeleteFor gods sake, 2-3 zone....
ReplyDeleteJust let the walk-on hit the game winner so we can all go to bed.
ReplyDeletePatrick-Chewing. Funny.
ReplyDeleteLike the 2009 version of Hoosiers. But with near-professional teams...I love that movie!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm out of decent white
ReplyDeleteSeriously, my liver can't do 6
ReplyDeleteThis is unlike anything I've ever experienced as a sports fan.
ReplyDeleteYep, here we go, the walk on makes it,,,I hate yuconn
ReplyDeletethese poor kids are going to collapse
ReplyDeleteI'm in the "yo adrian" mode too sean
ReplyDeleteI'm totally sleeping in tomorrow and going to work late
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna lie. I just want this game to end.
ReplyDeleteAnd the legit reason is....I WATCHED THIS
ReplyDeleteOh, Ill lie...I want Johnny five to not come alive
ReplyDeleteListen, let's go 6 OTs...
ReplyDeleteMark...they loving ur biy...
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna take this 6OT momwnt to guess that this ne Nic Cage movie sucks balls
ReplyDeletebiy?
ReplyDeleteRaf made a Sudoku joke
ReplyDeleteTJ--Jay Bilas just asked you to wake up your friends. He's telling you to call Rob
ReplyDeleteShe's right again.
ReplyDeleteI love you guys.
ReplyDeleteMe 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.
ReplyDeleteepic 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.
ReplyDeleteFucking Cuse
ReplyDeleteTake a wild guess how exhausted/hungover this guy is today?
ReplyDelete
