I only hope to maul someone half as hard as Kimmel did Melissa Joan Hart this past week. The joke goes deep but the best part might be when Jimmy says, “Let’s try to get past that Melissa.” It’s the total twist of the knife.
If you are a cruel person you might want to go back and watch Melissa’s face a few times after the bomb lands. She is speechless because there is no come back from that. Also you can see the pain in her face.
Alright, let’s start the weekend…

I thought I should acknowledge the fact that the Yankees won the World Series. You might have noticed that after doing write-ups for each of the first 5 games, Richie decided to opt-out of doing so for game 6.
It’s funny because I didn’t write a thing about it and neither did he. Yet, it was not contrived. We just talked about it via text today and realized that neither of us had the strength to pull anything together on the topic.
So, congrats Yankee fans. That’s all you get.

LeBron is in New York tonight to play the Knicks at the Garden. Let the twenty-ten talk begin. Hell, that talk should be more interesting than the game is.
If the Cavs keep losing this LeBron leaving to go somewhere thing becomes a realer and realer possibility. If David Stern would let him I bet that James would rock a Yankee cap during the game tonight.

Terrell acknowledges that the Bills are awful for TMZ in this video. The best part is at the very beginning. The camera guys asks if the Bills are going to “take it all” this year. Owens pauses. His girlfriend just laughs hysterically.
Also, in the video TO is outside of Koi in LA. Word is he whenever he gets a chance to escape he is no where near Buffalo. I suppose you can’t blame him. I saw how much fun he was having on the west coast in his award winning reality show.

College football games to watch…
Friday
8:00 – Boise St @ Louisiana Tech +21 [ESPN 2]
Louisiana Tech is not bad. They have had to close loses the past two times out. This should be Boise’s toughest test in quite some time. Is it a dick move if I just am hoping Boise State craps out here, or at some point, and loses?
Saturday
12:00 – Northwestern @ Iowa -16 [ESPN]
Last week Iowa’s game was some what wild, at least wild for a Big Ten game. I still have zero interst in this game and team in general. Is it a dick move if I just am hoping Iowa craps out here, or at some point, and loses?
3:30 – Duke @ North Carolina -10 [ESPN2]
I love how ESPN has to air this. I assume they know this is a football game. When will they start airing UNC-Duke field hockey?
Wow, I didn’t realize Duke has won 4 of their last 5… against the bowels of the ACC but still. I have seen UNC perform well a number of times this year, I thought -10 was too low but maybe this could actually be a game.
3:30 – LSU @ Alabama -7.5 [CBS]
A touchdown plus is a lot to cover if your offense is averaging 18 point per game in their last three times out. I really like ‘Bama, maybe the best in the country but it seems like a bad to cover these types of spreads against good teams.
3:30 – Ohio State @ Penn State -5 [ABC]
I bashed the Big Ten earlier but this one I am slightly interested in. The Nittany Lions have not had a challenge in about 2 months. Certainly you have to assume that Ohio State will be a challenge. I really like Penn State here. I have seen them start out some games slow only to pull out the victory. If they can avoid that, it’d be nice for my heart. Hey, they covered last week for me when things weren’t looking good at the half.

That’s about it. The night games aren’t all that interesting. There is USC @ Arizona State and Oklahoma @ Nebraska. Forget that noise, just head out for the night early.
