They're blaming Imus for ruining their moment. Their moment was ruined when they lost the fucking game. No words from an ancient talk show host are going to change that. They lost. Their moment was over. Instead, the stupid Rutgers athletic director parades them around in a press conference like their lives are over. THEY'RE STILL IN COLLEGE! They're around my age! My life isn't over by a long shot. How is being called a nappy-headed ho going to scar them for life with whatever they move on to? Are Dickbags Sharpton and Jackson going to follow them around for the rest of their lives to make sure they're being treated fairly? No. As soon as the "RACISM" light goes off on Sharpton's desk, he'll spring into action over another non-story, leaving these girls to fend for themselves and act like grownups. Imus doesn't even get to finish his radiothon tomorrow, Mike and the Mad Dog will be on with his wife, I think. The telethon benefits children with SIDS and also the Imus Ranch, which helps kids with cancer and/or SIDS. 877-877-6464. Even if you think Imus is a racist, irrelevant, whatever scumbag/crusty old man, help kids. Obviously CBS and MSNBC don't care about sick kids.

40 years down the drain for calling some girls "nappy-headed hos". Unreal. This is going to start a fucking free speech witch-hunt led by two media whores who are only attracted to race-baiting and the power that they get from turning the non-story into a story. Not to mention the fact that Imus apologized. Not just a quick "sorry" either, but he spent most of his show apologizing. Nope, not good enough apparently. Some stupid ball-bouncing cunts and a second-rate school are now scarred for life because of a throwaway joke that didn't even get that big of a laugh.

Notables over the last 30 years: Kris Benson, A-Rod, Chipper Jones, Ken Griffey's son, Phil Nevin, Pat Burrell, Delmon Young, BJ Surhoff, Darryl Strawberry, Harold Baines, Andy Benes, Joe Mauer.

We finally saw "300" on Easter. I don't think that the girlfriend liked it as much as I did. Seeing Grindhouse either this weekend or next weekend. I was waiting for the crowds to die down, but I assumed that it would pull in more money than it did. I'm surprised. Rodriguez has directed some great flicks (El Mariachi, Desperado, Dusk Till Dawn, Sin City) and from the sound of this, he does a great job. Tarantino is slightly overrated, but I heard his interview on O&A last week and his enthusiasm for the project rubbed off on me for some reason.

The "Jigaboos v. Wannabes" line is from School Daze, a Spike Lee joint.

CG's post reminded me how much of a knownothing I am. Thanks. Flames d. Wings in 6 Preds d. Sharks in 7 Stars d. Canucks in 5 Bombays d. Wild in 6 Slugs d. Isles in 4 Pens d. Sens in 7 Thrashers d. Rags in 6 Devils d. Bolts in 5

I'm so fucking sick of Jackson and Sharpton attaching themselves to these stories and blowing them way out of proportion. One apology by the I-man was bad enough. The way he conducted himself on the show today was the worst thing that he could have done. I have a bad feeling that Imus is going to be fired for this non-story.

How old is Lew Ford? Based on his handwriting there, I'm saying 11, tops.

Eh. Not really. Its just better than composite. HDMI is way overrated in my eyes. HDMI overrated? HDMI is 10 times better than component and 1000 times better than composite. And S-Video does nothing for me. Now, I paid like 8 bucks each for my HDMI cables so yeah, at that price HDMI is not overrated, but seeing as most consumers are paying 80-150 for HDMI cables, it is overrated. That's not overrated, the people spending that amount of money on a stupid cable just need a slap in the head.

How good is the MLBTV? I'm going to have to use that since we're not allowed Directv at my apartment complex. Flat rate? By month? Also, has anyone hooked up their computer to a big screen to watch MLBTV? Good quality?

We can even create some new awards to give the Sabres. The Claude Lemieux Memorial "Take a dive" Award goes to...Daniel Briere!!

Slytherin's locket is awesome on that UK cover.

Snoozing on the couch, enjoying a high from my painkillers, Max was watching the Bruins as they counted down the seconds to a 1-0 lead on the Rags. With 2:30 left in the game, he gets up to get a drink. Coming back, it's 1-1 with 1:50 remaining. "How could this have happened?" Max asks himself. He watches the replay of the 7.5 million dollar man making arguably the stupidest pass ever right onto the stick of Tomas Pock, who beats AHL goaltender Joey MacDonald stick-side. Angry, Max sits through overtime, watching Mark Mowers and Shean Donovan get ice time over rookies and ultimately watches the team lose in a shootout. An upset Max curses god and is punished by stubbing his toe so badly that it turns a deep shade of blue and rips the nail off. god hates the Bruins. and Max.

So we're watching Habs v. Bruins last night, right? 3-1 going into the second period, right? I think "well, certainly we can watch a quick Mythbusters off the DVR and tune in for the last 10-15 minutes or so," right? So we tune back in about 45 minutes later, right? 6-3 Habs. I'm done for the season. I'll watch the playoffs when they start. Until then, go Red Sox.

If the Cards hadn't just won the World Series, we could have all made great wisecracks about LaRussa being "asleep at the wheel" and such.

I did the same thing in my days of retail hell. The only difference was that I used purple Kool-Aid, which made it look like the victims fisted a certain McDonaldland character.

1-0 Habs. god hates me.

7-0 Rags. I hate god.

Well, if you can call it a shot for the Bruins. They have 12 games remaining and they are all against teams with a winning record. And here are the records against the remaining teams: 0-3 v. Atlanta 1-6 v. Buffalo 3-2 v. Montreal 3-3 v. Ottawa (Bruins have lost the last three) 2-0 v. Pittsburgh 2-1 v. Jersey 0-2 v. Rags

Excellent show today. Especially Ron yelling at the asshole caller(s) for suggesting that Fez was faking his therapy stuff.

We tried to get into the Cardinals v. Twins game today, but it was completely sold out and had lines 20-25 people deep at the ticket office looking to get in. I've never seen a buzz around a game like that (excluding the Red Sox v. Jankees spring training game that all but shut down downtown Fort Myers.)

http://www.newsobserver.com/796/story/552373.html As someone noted on HF, it's ironic that Isbister's skate did this when Isbister's skates have never been a weapon before.

Too bad. Jeni was an excellent comic.
