Sarah Palin hooked up with Glen Rice in the 80s? Love it. Once again, the truth is stranger than fiction..

Disappointed to hear that Scottie Pippen attended the Kardashian wedding. C’mon Scottie, you’re better than that…
This had me chuckling a few times. I know one’s judgment goes completely out the window when too many adult beverages have been consumed, but I’ll never understand why these rich athletes still drive themselves around when they are out drinking…
The Netflix price increase is not good news, but I’m not sure I get why there is so much widespread outrage. Part of me thinks it is generated by all the media coverage online, and accordingly, people seeing all the Netflix headlines while online. My big question is, why isn’t there similar outrage and media firestorm when Comcast raises their monthly rates by $5-6 on an annual basis? I think this has happened toward the end of each year for at least the last decade. The cost of cable is insanely high, but we’re all sweating Netflix, which is still a pretty solid entertainment value even with the price increase, and no one else can provide the same combo of services and convenience. I’m just waiting for the time when Netflix or Amazon (or even Hulu) is streaming all of the new movies, not just older titles and straight to video junk.
Also, remember people, you can always check out dvds at your local library for free. Yes, it can be a long wait to get your hands on a new release, but you can reserve them online and then just run in and pick them once your “turn in line” has come up. It’s pretty convenient really, at least in my area.
How is Berman still getting high profile gigs? The ESPN powers-that-be really don’t seem to be too concerned with public opinion when it comes to Berman, who long ago devolved into a parody of himself.
Overall, a lot of Simmons going Simmons (definitely could have done without the “snarky blogger” footnote), but pretty good stuff. I appreciate his coming up with ideas that are outside the box, even if they wouldn’t be quite as simple to implement as he makes them sound.
Of course I only have an iphone 3G, which is no longer supported, so I guess it is time to upgrade to a newer model…
Now the Mavs have to win 3 out of 4. I really can’t stomach the Heat winning the title, but they definitely look like the superior team. However, they do seem to go through spells where they don’t play hard or smart. It’s not over yet, but not looking good…
Also, ABC’s NBA studio show team may be the worst ever assembled. I’m finding it to be pretty much unwatchable. I don’t want to see a journalist like Wilbon acting like he is an analyst. Almost as painful as when Kornheiser was on MNF. I don’t know who at ABC/ESPN thinks Stu and Magic are worthy of such a high profile gig, but I don’t get it. Stu has always annoyed me, but at least he has toned down his act from his younger days doing Sportscenter. Magic, I really don’t get. He wasn’t good on TNT either when he used to be on there sometimes. Jon Barry is actually pretty good, but he needs to be surrounded with others. I don’t know that Shaq is the answer. C-Webb is pretty solid on NBATV; wouldn’t mind seeing him on a higher profile gig. I would even be fine with Doris Burke. She really knows her stuff and is all business.
I’m beginning to think I need to switch to the Nook from the Kindle. Color touch screen, more apps, flash support, email access…seems like it offers more beyond just reading a book.
Great article. Hopefully this Fiesta Bowl scandal brings about some meaningful change to the farce that the bowl system has become. Unfortunately, I’m not holding my breath…
I think this sums up the deal real well. Love the “star-humpers” line. That’s a valid point that I’ve often thought about too. Even in today’s youtube age of easy access to video, do players born in the 90s really give a rip about guys whose best days were in the 80s?
