More importantly, the 6PM SportsCenter today was CRAZY! Bill Walton started the craziness by bringing a birthday cake out for "Dr." Jay Harris, who shares his birthday with Julius "The Doctor" Irving. Walton sang an extended version of the American birthday song, which, I suppose, he learned to jam on from his deceased friend Jerry Garcia (or maybe Bob Weir taught him, I don't know). Walton's act was continued by John Clayton, who had chocolate cake at the NFL Combine as a part of his little act on the Bears keeping Rex Grossman but also having Kyle Orton, using the phrase "I'm having my cake, but eating it too." Brian Kenny called out Clayton on continuity issues as Clayton had chocolate cake. Turns out the cake was chocolate, as both Walton and Stephen A. had some as they were previewing the NBA games tonight on ESPN. All I can say is that I wish this was how my birthday was celebrated, minus Stephen A. Smith.
'Cuse had Louisville whoop them in the second half on Monday, and John Cahill and Jim Burr continued to amaze me. Johnny Flynn was thrown to the ground on a drive in the 2nd half and was called for a charge. Why not run out the clock? Because he is a douche. There were many other terrible calls, and it was no help that Syracuse only had 7 players (the Cavs will have one less than that for tonight against the Wizards, so will the Wiz be able to run it down their throats? Can LeBron play all 48 minutes? We shall see.) Jerry Smith is very hated right now by 'Cuse fans for his dunk with 3.6 seconds left to give Louisville an 11-point lead. Real classy. Th ball could have stayed in the backcourt to end the game, but Smith caught a long pass and had to have 7 points to keep his average at 11PPG. A complete lack of class, a total douche. The Notre Dame is going to be fucking hard, and with the way Luke Harangody is playing, if Arinze and Rick Jackson don't keep up with him, Sean Williams will see his first minutes of Big East action. This game is not necessarily a must-win for the Orange, but it will lead to less games needed to win at the Garden during the BET. For some reason, the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia is showing a SEC game at 2PM tomorrow, so now I have to go to a sports bar to watch the game. I'm not sure how to react to this, but then again, how can you not support a TV affiliate that hates pigs as much as someone who keeps kosher.
Uhhh...the Willie Mays highlight was not shown on SportsCenter the night it happened because SportsCenter didn't exist. Berman did, and he was a fat, ugly baby at the time. Still, this is bullshit. If you want to talk about the greatest highlight, it has to be during the time your show existed. And Berman has reacted to the videos of himself scolding people on the set of Monday Night Countdown! His reaction sounds strangely like some shit that went down in Washington, DC in 1953-4.
If anyone has a chance to see Will Leitch speak at an Atlanta bookstore, please do. John Rocker and his black, fitness model girlfriend, both of whom were interviewed by Leitch, will be in attendance and might even reenact it with Leitch. This could be the video of the century if it is caught on film of some sort.
I'm going to try to find some Hawaiian Punch to go with my cough syrup, but I might just stick with some orange juice. PEACE
