First it was repeated pleas for a playoff in D-I college football, now it’s the revelation that Barack Obama’s favorite guilty game pleasure is Blackberry Brickbreaker. According to Star Magazine, Obama plays a little Brickbreaker each night to unwind before bed. I happen to destroy on Brickbreaker with my unofficial high score at 790,000; I say unofficial because the ball disappeared when I had 790,000 and 150 lives and when that happens you can’t save your high score. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

Unfortunately for the country, Obama’s high score is 15,000 which I’m fairly certain a 6 or 7 year old could beat. Let’s just hope he rocks the country better than he does the trackball.

You’re welcome.

I neglected to post this last week, so here it is posthomously. As is the case every year, most of the Grammys was unforgettable. Unforgettable this year, with the exception of Radiohead’s live performance of “15 Steps”. The performance would have been better with the Blue Devils playing back-up rather than “the USC Marching Band” (as has they’ve been referred to in several places). Still, one of the better TV performances I’ve ever seen and a very powerful song. Enjoy.

You’re welcome.

The Oscar Producers played Jennifer Aniston straight gangsta-style sunday night. While presenting (some silly award) with straight man Jack Black, the producers flipped to a cut-away of the happy couple also known as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. This was no accident- this was straight gangster. This was leaving fish heads on on the pillow or mailing the severed finger of your first cousin. Whomever was calling the shots in the production booth knew exactly what they were doing.

I’m not sure what Aniston did to deserve that type of treatment but any recourse, up to and including smashing every monitor in that place, is completely in order. In case you missed the video, here it is:

You’re welcome.

The running backs, wide receivers and quarterbacks were featured on Sunday at the NFL combine and two Buckeyes were present. WR Brian Robiskie had an outstanding day, so good that he was chosen as one of the two top performers by the NFL Network analysts. Robo ran well, caught every ball that was thrown at him and most definitely improved his draft status following up on a solid Senior Bowl. Here’s a link of his highlights.

Beanie Wells had a solid day running decently (4.59) in the 40 and having the best broad jump of any running back and second best overall. There wasn’t a stiff-arm test which would have been the true test of what Beanie will mean to an NFL team.

If you happen to be near a tv tomorrow, the Linebackers will be on NFL Network which means both Marcus Freeman and James Laurinaitis will be doing drills. We’ll have a recap of their performances up sometime on Tuesday.

The website has been down for a few days courtesy of Windows Vista. We had to do a complete re-installation of the operating system that is only marginally more stable than Brittany Spears (thank you Microsoft). Don’t believe us?- here’s the reliaibility monitor just prior to the final blue screen:

Anyways, we’re back up and running and will get caught up over the next couple days.
