A special Happy Hour today, as we wish a big congrats to our friend and commenter, Hawkeye. Last night our buddy became a daddy, again! His lovely wife that I have never met or seen, gave birth to a little boy.
This cigar is for you, Hawkeye!
Since it was a holiday, we didn’t throw around brick knowledge to you like we normally do, it was a little bit lighter of a day.
Mikey did go above and beyond for TMA, hitting us with a collection of linkage from around the world.
We had live commenting for MLK Day basketball!!! Not really.
TWTWCB made it’s official debut at Sparty & Friends. Va Tech rocks sucks!
Ravens DC Rex Ryan decided he wanted the shortest head coaching career possible.
I am going to plagiarize tonights bball schedule:
College Basketball:
7:00 PM: South Carolina State at Howard (ESPNU) I don’t have much to say here. SCST has Jason Johnson. He’s good.
7:00 PM: #8 Syracuse at #1 Pittsburgh (ESPN) That’s more like it. I think we all know these teams. Remember that Pitt won’t be #1 long since they lost to the ‘Ville this weekend.
8:30 PM: Mississippi Valley State at Southern (ESPNU) Both of these teams are in the SWAC and you know what that means, right? They suck. But ESPNU is running a 6 game marathon. That’s a little awesome, isn’t it?
9:00 PM: Texas A&M at Kansas (ESPN) Neither is ranked, neither is bad. Should be a nice Big XII match-up.
NBA:
5:30 PM: Pistons at Grizzlies (TNT) The Pistons should win this, but watch the Mayo/Stuckey match-up. That sounds disgusting by the way.
8:00 PM: Suns at Celtics (TNT) That’s more like it. With the reemergence of Shaq and Scalibrine on the floor for the Celts, this could get interesting. Nash can’t guard Rondo, Rondo isn’t that smart.
10:30 PM: Cavaliers at Lakers (TNT) Now that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout! LeBron (and MoWill) vs. Kobe (and his whole crew). Is LeBron better than Kobe? Think of it this way… Are Andrew Bynum, Lamar Odom, and Pau Gasol better than Mo Williams? Is this going to be a close game? You figure it out. There’s also the first day of the Australian open on today from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM on ESPN2 and other channels I’m sure.

Just messing around in FBB and I came up with this fun stat…
Total # of players added to date…

Rest of the league combined = 137 john(Quote)
holy crap! jason kidd hit 6 3-ptrs today? sparty(Quote)

6 3-ptrs??? That sucks for me…I’m pretty sure I’m facing you. rekcalsa(Quote)
camby is out, and so is horford. i am hurting up front. sparty(Quote)
J-Kidd still sucks.

good thing this is fantasy, and he is still top 12. sparty(Quote)
Nobody here watches HIMYM and TBBT? guyinthecorner(Quote)
maybe miz does. he likes the chick shows too. sparty(Quote)
I would watch HIMYM but I always had other shows in the way…I’m gonna get them on Netflix once I start with that…TBBT is one I catch when I got nothing else to watch. rekcalsa(Quote)
Sitcoms died in 1997. sparty(Quote)
congrats to the new dad! jpmanahan(Quote)
rek-
Do you know of STC? guyinthecorner(Quote)
you watch way too much tv…. sparty(Quote)
gitc–Can’t seem to figure out what you’re referring to. rekcalsa(Quote)
And I know I watch A LOT of TV…I’m so happy Prison Break is finally gonna be done with after this season…it was bad since they got out. rekcalsa(Quote)
cause they already broke out!!! sparty(Quote)
sorry, i gotta ask. what are HIMYM, TBBT, and STC? mizerle06(Quote)
HIMYM = How I Met Your Mother
TBBT = The Big Bang Theory
STC = ??? rekcalsa(Quote)
sparty–Yea, the show name had nothing to do with the actual show anymore…it was a good 1st season and it should’ve only been a miniseries…when they got good ratings for the 1st season they signed it on for more and that was a terrible mistake. rekcalsa(Quote)
rek-as soon as i saw the premise from the show i thought to myself, if they break out, then what is it? their solution? throw them in another jail. the fuck?!? sparty(Quote)
What about TAAHM?? Love that show.
Congrats Hawkeye!! jen(Quote)
you are all annoying the shit out of me with the acronyms. sparty(Quote)
sparty–Yea, that’s exactly what I thought…I stuck it out thru the 2nd season which was absolutely horrible and then couldn’t just drop it because it’s not in my nature…and throwing them back into jail piqued my interest a bit because it got back to what it was good at, but none of it ever made sense and it’s very bad now.
jen–TAAHM is hilarious…I just watch it in syndication now so I can still watch 24. rekcalsa(Quote)
Rek, it’s been confirmed this is the last year of PB?
I didn’t get on board until Season 2, really like the show, but thought it should be done after this season, especially with the Michael’s Mom is all of the sudden alive crap.
Really need to check out Season 1 at some point. cbh49er(Quote)
STC is a website. One could find things there. guyinthecorner(Quote)
TAAHM = Two and A Half Men rekcalsa(Quote)
Boo that show. guyinthecorner(Quote)
Thanks everyone! Little boy is sitting with his Mom right now trying to figure out what the hell is going on right now.
And tonight’s TV is why DVRs were invented! HawkEye19(Quote)
gitc–Gotcha…I’ll hafta consider it.
cbh–Yea, I heard it on the radio….here’s the first link I could find…the 1st season was the only real good one, then the 3rd…the others were really stretching it. rekcalsa(Quote)
In 2 weeks we get bigger problems on Monday when Heroes and Chuck come back and, for me at least, when Trust Me starts. guyinthecorner(Quote)
*barf* Heroes. That show went so far downhill. HawkEye19(Quote)
Thanks Rek. cbh49er(Quote)
If you followed the bread crumbs you should be able to watch any HIMYM whenever you want. And pretty much anything else for that manner. guyinthecorner(Quote)
seriously, how does one watch that much tv? sparty(Quote)
hawkeye-
2 things:
Mazel Tov on the kid.
And Heroes may be worse than it was (by a lot) but it’s still a decent show. Not only that but I’ve been watching and won’t give it up. Plus, due to the following article, there may be hope.

Keeps ya home when you are into TV? jen(Quote)
sparty-
I used to cram everything into Monday. That’s looking to be impossible though. Even though I don’t watch House or 24, the combo of HIMYM, TBBT, Chuck, Heroes, and Trust Me (assuming it’s as good as it looks) is 4 hours. Even with the DVR that’s 2:45 plus whatever sports there are. I may leave shows for later in the week. Monday is overcrowded. guyinthecorner(Quote)
i guess i would love to have almost 3 hours of time available to watch tv on any night…
House won’t be watched until later in the week. sparty(Quote)
i am lucky if i get to watch PTI…usually Blue Clues is on instead. sparty(Quote)
gitc – Starting over from scratch on Heroes, eh? Almost have to at this point. Thanks for the reminder on “Trust Me” I have to add that one to the DVR list. HawkEye19(Quote)
CONGRATS HAWKEYE!!
Big Bang Theory – Good stuff
Didn’t see anyone comment today that tWWL started bombarding us with Masters commercials over the weekend. Thought they would get taken to task for that for sure.
I know sparty is refusing to accept the Magic are for real…I have no problem with that. People were denying the NFECNYFG credibility the season before their Super Bowl win. That being said….Magic in 4.
Hawkeye, Mrs, Hawkeye & li’l hawkeye +100 knightro(Quote)
Rek, is Correll Buckhalter catching any flak in Philly? Saw him chest bumping Edgerrin James after the game yesterday and was wondering what the hell that was all about. cbh49er(Quote)

knightro-it is all Jameer Nelson. I believe the rest of them are good enough to compete, but he will be the problem in the playoffs. sparty(Quote)
Should we call lil’ hawkeye, eyasseye? An eyass is a baby hawk isn’t it? guyinthecorner(Quote)
I tell you what sparty…I am happy with the way the Magic are playing right now. Everything is going well. But I (I hate to say this) the Pistons and the Raptors always make me nervous. Happy we can play well on the road. Nice we can beat the Lakers at their place. But it is always a crapshoot with Detroit and Toronto. Bosh always has a good game against the Magic. And Jameer is dicey (or worse) in games vs Detroit. I don’t worry that much about anyone else. knightro(Quote)
Knightro,
Could you do me a favor and tell Jameer to keep his mouthpiece in his damn mouth? I just want to slap his face and send that thing flying. Fiesta Trio(Quote)

The Sharks some how called up Claude Lemieux after he was out of the league for 4 and a half years
/hockeyed Johnny(Quote)
I he coming up on a milestone or something? Can’t see how this helps my Sharks. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
Is he coming up on a milestone or something? Can’t see how this helps my Sharks. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
No from what I can tell he’s just there to do some Claude Lemieux stuff and he wants to win the cup again Johnny(Quote)
Just along for the ride, huh? We’ll see if we can get out of the West this year. What, 4 Cups aren’t enough? Greedy bastard. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
Bill Simmons doesn’t think Warner is a hall of famer either. What is wrong with people? He’s a surefire lock. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
cbh–I went home early so I’m just getting to it now…I don’t know that Buck is catching any flak…I didn’t even see him chest bump Edge since I was too pissed to keep watching…tried to search for some reports on it, but your blog came up as the 3rd one in the results so I don’t think many people really caught it. rekcalsa(Quote)
After reading Roman’s piece on Warner at MLJ, I can see why people would say he shouldn’t be in the HoF…If he wins this one, he’s gonna be in no matter who thinks what. rekcalsa(Quote)
If Steve Young and Jim Kelly are in the hall of fame then Kurt Warner is. It’s that simple. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
