One of the players for UConn, Roscoe Smith, got a black eye recently. He now looks exactly like Will Smith when he got a food allergy in “Hitch.”

I keep hearing an ad on the radio for a local paving company that specializes in “duck elimination.” And every time I hear it, I picture Paulie Walnuts taking a tire iron to a duck’s knee, and then I start wondering if ducks really have knees, and then I realize I’m not really paying attention to driving and then I usually turn on a CD.

It was amusing to hear all the denigration of the Big East after they lost nine teams in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, accompanied by chirping about the “strength” of the ACC with three teams remaining. You can count both UNC and Duke among the teams that won at the buzzer; the Heels didn’t as much win as Washington choked, while the Blue Devils were a missed eight-footer away from going to overtime. And these were both in the round of 32 ... and essentially home games, mind you.
When the league team playing the best right now appears to be Florida State, it’s time to settle down some.

For all you drunk-texters and drunk-Facebookers out there, this is the app for you: “Last Night Never Happened.”

Seeing Virginia Madsen cameo-ing on “The Event” (as a Proverbs-citing, unprepared Senator from Alaska? Hmmm. Reminds me of someone) is a little jarring. Given that I’ve never seen her in a setting that doesn’t involve her going topless, I keep waiting for her to rip off her bra during a conversation with the President.
And the federal Sargeant at Arms must have seen the same movies I did, because he gave the Senator access to her private files as he was confiscating him based purely off a mild flirt.

Was anyone surprised to learn that Chris Webber was a no-show for the ESPN “30 for 30” documentary on the Fab Five (or the Fraud Five, depending on who you ask). I guess the pitch didn’t really resonate with Chris: “Hey, remember that time you cost the Wolverines a chance at a national championship when you called a timeout you didn’t have? Oh yeah, and remember when you then got indicted for lying about taking money and getting Michigan put on probation? That was awesome. Wanna talk about it on camera so the country can relive it with you?”

Elsewhere on “The Event,” Jason Ritter’s character found out his girlfriend was an alien, which didn’t seem to faze him at all. Apparently he always wanted to bang an alien.

I have to say that something has to be done about the state of officiating in college basketball. On the one hand, we’re somehow supposed to applaud the “guts” of officials to make calls at the end of the Pitt-Butler game, with “experts” giving kudos for refs not swallowing the whistle based on game circumstances. But then we’re just supposed to ignore the missed calls at the end of the Washington-UNC and Arizona-Texas games? You can’t have it both ways.
Listen, I’ve never reffed, so I can’t say how hard it is. All I know is it is not good enough.

The tragedy in Japan continues to be a heartbreaking ordeal that we simply can’t look away from. The video footage coming in from the region is truly unbelievable and purely insane, especially this one and this one.
I don’t know if I would call the second videographer brave or bat-shit nuts or what, but simply incredible footage, especially the very end.

On a little more serene note, you can hike the Appalachian Trail in around four minutes, thanks to this tremendous video diary.
Enjoy.
