Wow have I not been paying attention to the NFL this season or what? It was announced today that Peyton Manning won his third MVP award in a landslide and second and third place went to Chad Pennington and Michael Turner. I didn’t even think he had that good of a season. And second and third were Pennington and Turner? What in the world is the NFL coming too?
I don’t even know what to say. I knew he was talented but this?
Its official. After a suprise agreement today the Sonics of Seattle are no more and will be moving on to Oklahoma City for the 08-09 season. As a huge sonics fan in the early 90′s (those post Magic pre Shaq & Kobe teams were hard to get behind, other then Vlade of course) its truly a sad day to see this storied franchise go. I mean how can a former NBA champion just fade off into nothingness? The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I can’t for the life of me figure out why Stern has all along seemed to say “screw you Seattle we are moving them” and never made an effort to keep them there.
People of Seattle you have my condolences…just remember the good times, Payton, Kemp, Schrempf, Perkins, McMillan, etc…

Surely we don’t need any more signs that the end of days is near but here is another one. Years after either group put out any noteworth tracks the NKOTB & NE are teaming up for a one song collaboration that will have the world on its ear…if it had happened in 1989 perhaps.

I don’t really have anything to say here, just that the Bones pic Showtime put up was freaking out my son every time Droppin loaded up so I wanted to replace it with something a little tamer. Of course now that I think of it he always tells me he is scared of fuzzy bunnies too…
Not really sure what to say about this. I mean I was a big fan of Short Circuit when it came out back in the day but I was a kid and didn’t know any better. I’m not exactly sure that 20 years later the world at large is beating down the door for a Short Circuit remake. And whats the point of doing a “remake” if you hire the writers of the original? Are they going to say, hey this is the story I really wanted to tell!
On the plus side, now that Steve Guttenberg has been kicked off dancing with the stars hes free and I’m sure Aly Sheedy isn’t doing anything. Might as well bring the whole cast back.
“Short Circuit” Being Remade April 4th 2008
Ready for the first pic of Ray Park as Snake Eyes in the upcoming GI Joe movie?
I’ll reserve comments until we get to see the movie in action. There is too much fandom from my GI Joe loving youth to make a snap judgement at this point (why is the Arashikage logo on his outfit?).

Got a couple of new bits of Conchords news I found today while surfing the net. First off is the complete track listing from the upcoming album:
“Foux du Fafa”
“Inner City Pressure”
“Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros”
“Think About It”
“Ladies of the World”
“Mutha’uckas”
“The Prince of Parties”
“Leggy Blonde”
“Robots”
“Boom”
“A Kiss Is Not a Contract”
“The Most Beautiful Girl (in the Room)”
“Business Time”
“Bowie”
“Au Revoir”
Sadly missing is the classic “Pencils in the Wind” (Search on the roll with your fingernail!!!!) and it would also be nice to see a couple of the Non-HBO songs make the cut (Jenny and the Bus Driver Song both deserve more publicity then they get). Here’s also hoping the reworked version of “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros” is much better then the take from the HBO show.
Second of all, sad news (thanks for the segway Tony Danza), the second season of the show on HBO has apparently been pushed back until early 2009 thanks to the now cliche writers strike, which has been overplayed as the excuse dijour (dijour means friendship!) for everything short of the war in Iraq and world hunger but I’m sure if we really looked at it we could figure out how it impacted that as well. Apparently nobody wants to rush the show and seeing as how most of the guys material has now made it onto the show they are going to need to write alot of new songs for the next season. Jokes are one thing, heck even I come up with a funny line now and then but funny songs? Well I guess I’m glad they aren’t willing to sacrifice quality.
The saga that is the ending of Scrubs has now taken another turn for the strange when the once never going to air, then go to DVD, then for sure going to air this summer on NBC is now being discussed as moving to ABC to finish out not just with the finale but with another season of 18 episodes (from 6 to 18 what the crap do we have left to do in dragging this show out?).
On a side note, part of me hopes that if the move happens that as the biggest inside gag of all time that they pull in Lecy Goranson to fill the role of Dr. Reid for a few episodes and not mention it at all. As Dr. Reid would say FRICK ON A STICK!!!
