Blog about Nothing

Another long sports information day and I just felt like mentioning a couple things that have nothing to do with sports information.

Because I listen to the Tony Kornheiser podcast every day, I've started paying attention to American Idol. But instead actually watching the show (which is incredibly drawn out and filled with fluff), I watch the performances (about two minutes each) on youtube the next day while listening to the podcast. I find that I am only in agreement with Mr. Tony about Carly Smithson, who I like very much. Otherwise, I think one of his co-hosts, Kevin Stanfield has the eye for American Idol talent.

I can't believe I'm paying attention to Idol. Yikes.

The Reds won on a walk-off home run. I didn't hear it because I turned it off after Junior flew out in the eighth. I'm glad the Reds won but I'm more happy for Edwin Encarnacion, who my friend Jay and I refer to as Yeahdwin. He had a horrible throwing error that led to two runs and couldn't get down a bunt before he won the game. Yeahdwin had such a terrible spring and a terrible start to the year that he needed this.

The Celtics keep winning. It's almost "go time." The playoffs are just around the corner. The regular season has gone better than I could have hoped and at the start of the year I thought that getting to the conference finals would be a fantastic year. Now, I'm thinking the C's have a chance to win it all. Banner No. 17? How sweet it would be.
