I kind of dig where “Flashforward” is going. But I think they’d better get there a little quicker than “Lost,” because I get the sense that they’re not going to get as much time to reveal all the answers.

I’ve always felt Donovan McNabb was pretty overrated (marking the one and only time I have ever agreed with pill-popping fraud Rush Limbaugh on anything). But even I was surprised that the Iggles traded him within the division to the Redskins. I guess Philly figures that if the ‘Skins ever actually contend for the NFC East title, McNabb will play to form and choke in the biggest game?

Pet peeve #614: People who don’t understand body language. Say, for instance, you have a chair in your cubicle, and you always put your bag on it, yet someone likes to come into your cube, move your bag and sit their fat arse down and start talking to you. Meanwhile, you’re using every non-verbal cue in your repertoire to communicate to this person that you would like them to leave without having to tell them that they are the most annoying fucking person on Earth. Next step: leaving a goddam cinder block in the chair.

Peeps have so many chemicals that after a period of time passes, the material inside them becomes concrete-like, capable of withstanding untold exposure to the elements without losing its adhesive qualities. Legend has it that you can see an ongoing exhibit of this phenomenon under the Round Table at the Profile.

Congratulations, Coach Krazooski. Teaching players to constantly flop as part of an effort to ruin the college game notwithstanding, eight title game appearances and four championships is crazy.
Now, get the F over yourself and learn how to take a goddam joke.

Not that I don’t enjoy hearing a “joke” a good 9 or 10,000 times, but can we finally retire the whole Duke-New Jersey bit? On top of being unfunny and untrue, it’s just downright lazy and played out by about 20 years. Carry on.

Ollie Purnell getting $15 million over seven years to coach at DePaul? Nice work if you can get it. I don’t think anyone at Clemson noticed, though; they’re too busy trying to convince themselves they should be in the SEC for football. The ACC will miss you, Lou Gossett Jr.

Have to admit I was a big fan of the Presidential bitch-slap on “24.”

So after Jack Bauer takes a bit of time out of his day to bag Renee Walker (half an hour in “real time”; well-played, sir) on “24,” they pull a page out of the James Bond playbook and kill her off 90 seconds after coitus. I’m going to miss her—though not her use of the same face to portray sadness, anger, anguish, surprise, confusion, excitement, depression, turmoil, loneliness, frustration, boredom, suspicion and satisfaction.

I’ve been rather surprised at the lack of feedback on the new NFL Draft format. The first round will take place in prime time (7:30 p.m.) on Thursday, April 22, and the second and third rounds will begin at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 23. The last four rounds will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 24.
Gone are the days of having a draft party starting on Saturday morning, passing out after about seven picks, then waking up in time to see who your team takes (goaded by news of fake trades to get your arse moving). Just another great tradition ruined by a pro sports money grab. *sigh*
