The best thing about Ghost Dog was the ridiculous video for that awful RZA songs, "Cakes," on the DVD.

Those were all at least 20 years ago, though. One would hope we'd have learned that lesson of suckiness by now.

I checked IMDB, and he's supposed to be in the 5th episode. Of course, that also said he was in the second, so who knows. Oh, and I do like the girl playing Daphne. She's a cutie.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy about this. Also, the guy playing Biggie goes by the nickname "Gravy." Hard to beat that.

I worked a fuckton over the weekend and have only now gotten to really dive into Dear Science. It is super-good. "Pummeling" is a good word for "Shout Me Out." I just really like the whole thing.

Even better.

Gosh, that was retarded. Pretty funny to see Jamie Hector (Knox) on this now; even despite all the "you seem SCARED" or "what are you AFRAID of" lines, he's in a league way above what everybody else is doing in terms of actually making this stuff believable. Semi-interesting plotlines rushed, and I really would like the writers to think outside of the foretelling the future/horrible tragedy in the future plot box. That crutch is getting really old.

I wish we did DARPA stuff. That would be fucking cool. We're more of the "teach the military how to use Microsoft Word and not to pee down their own legs" kind of guys. Also, gtd drained that one from downtown.

Leaning towards Swayze in Road House at present. Sarah Palin's retarded kid is another choice (the actually retarded one, not the one that's preggers). Haven't yet figured out how to execute, though.

My dad called me today to complain about this nonsense. He changed his registration today to unaffiliated. I think he's voted Republican for the past 30 years. Ouch, Johnny.

I'm a proposal manager for an insidious research/defense contractor in D.C. And I'm working till dawn on a proposal tonight! Talk to you guys at, like, 4 am.

I get points for speed.

Even in the 2006 game, ESPN had everything set up with the ridiculous "this game is on 3 channels!" thing they did for UNC/Duke basketball that year. ESPN was the game, ESPN2 was this weird stats-hud five cameras going at once, ESPN U was some wacky roving cam. Sweet memories. Also, Northwestern's 5-0, Vandy's 4-0, Duke is 3-1. It is whoppingly embarrassing to root for Virginia when comparable academic institutions are gangbanging the competition.

She already got hit from all sides. That's how she got pregnant.

That guy was great. Weird cameramen and grips always have stuff like that. STYLIN.

Brutal sequence for Washington there, on the two TDs called back. That guard is going to get his chubby little head chopped off for those fuckups.

Winning on tiebreak with 7 correct picks will be the highlight of my many years in this contest. Mediocrity, ho!

The Alabama offensive line is just running over Georgia. Between that and the over-the-middle passing game, which is ripe for little drag routes and that great crossing pattern Julio Jones ran, the entire Georgia front-seven looks completely outmatched.

He was getting bagged on earlier in the thread, but I think Grunberg as Parkman is definitely one of the standouts. I think a lot of that came out of his first-season storylines, where he was pretty much just a confused guy with marital troubles. He has an everyday matter-of-factness that is otherwise pretty spare on this show.

Three thoughts on seeing the highlights from UF/Ole Miss: 1. Wow did the Gators' secondary play terribly. That 90-yard TD was terrible blown coverage, and the safeties looked completely lost. 2. I can't imagine how many TV remotes, coffee tables, and small household objects were broken when Tebow juuuuust overthrew Louis Murphy. 3. The usage of "Wild" to describe anything where an RB takes snaps reached a new low today with "Wild Rebel." Though at least it was Houston Nutt's team, so I guess it's okay given the origins.

Ouch. To lose a 2-point conversion (and the game) on an ineligible receiver downfield is pretty embarrassing.

He's also a terrible actor. Not that anyone on this show is really great, but he's probably the lowest tier.

Ouch. I know the Tebow dive is great and all, but man oh man, I think I would have kicked the field goal there.

Wow. UNC's CB Jermaine Goddard with a fantastic pick in the end zone helps UNC hold on and win 28-24. Coooold-blooded.
