Some randomness today.
A rarity on Friday Night Fights tonight, two out of three fights ending in knockouts instead of Teddy Atlas complaining about (insert state commission here)'s bad judges. ME was Connecticut's own Lawrence Clay-Bey sleepwalking his way to a draw against Derek Bryant, and considering how Bryant missed a lot of chances to put the slower, heavier Clay-Bey away, a draw was what they deserved.
Tomorrow night's Showtime telecast should be excellent. They are rerunning Diego Corrales/Jose Luis Castillo from May, which is by far the best fight of the year so far. If you ever wanted a reason to start watching the sport, this would be it. Following the replay, they will be showing Jeff "Left Hook" Lacy vs. Robin "Grim Reaper" Reid in a Super Middleweight collision. Lacy will probably win this one going away, though Jermaine Taylor suggested on FNF tonight that Reid fights dirty, so who knows what might happen.
--------------------------
Gary Sheffield needs to shut up. Seriously.
--------------------------
Unfortunately for Andy Reid, Todd Pinkston has ruptured his Achilles tendon, and will miss the season, which means the Iggles will probably have to buck up and give T.O. a nice fat salary increase.
Wild card at best, if we're really lucky.
--------------------------
I can't imagine anyone would possibly want to pay to see something that they can see every freakin' day on Discovery or Animal Planet, but apparently "March Of The Penguins" is now the highest grossing documentary not involving Michael Moore. My wife wants me to go see it. I'll bet you can guess what my response to that concept was.
--------------------------
Planning to get back to writing reviews again, but I haven't really been watching much other than Yankee games, boxing, and Mythbusters. Mostly I've been working on this year's grand DVD project, which is the entire run of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Thanks to the technological wonder of Bit Torrent, and some nice people out there that "keep circulating the tapes", I now have every episode ever made, plus about 5GB worth of various specials and other random stuff.
No, I won't burn them for you. Unless you ask nicely and give me something.

Yeah, I was disappointed to see him go. Like I said, we're gonna be lucky to pull the wild card.
