Behind The Scenes Of Chris Bosh's Weatherman Appearance
Wednesday, April 01, 2009
A few weeks back, Chris Bosh was invited fill in for the weatherman on CTV in Toronto, and today the network decided to post the "pregame" video. Not only is Bosh just about the chillest dude you will ever come across, but there is even some "Anchorman" discussion. Via My Hogtown....
"Let's chill AND go over it," is officially my new phrase of the week. I love how the dude talking to him is holding a Basketball to look cool. Weathermen are so hip! Oh and CB4 still needs his own TV show. Someone start an online petition.

When Joe Paterno Grew Up, Basketball Was A "Jewish Game"

During last night's Penn State-Notre Dame N.I.T. Semifinal game, ESPN decided to sit down with Joe Paterno and the result is one of the most hilarious on-air interviews I've ever witnessed. After some Football questions, Bill Raftery decided to ask the Coach what he thought about College Basketball and this was his response (sorry for the video quality). Via HHR....
"They all talk about it as a Black Man's game now. Everyone says it's a Black Man's game. When I grew up it was a Jewish mans game."- Joe Paterno
Obviously Joe Paterno wasn't being derogatory in any way, but it's still awkward to hear someone who's 82 years old not being politically correct. The added clip of Joe Pa emulating the granny free throw was just icing on the cake.

Breaking: April Fool's Day Is Lame
Now I'm not one to stop people from having a day of goofiness and fun, but is there a lamer day on the calendar than April 1st? Not only have there been terrible attempts at jokes like....Brady for Cutler and John Calipari already being fired, but Hasheem Thabeet took the lame award for the day....

Hahahaha! Get it? He's joking that he failed a drug test and can't play in the Final Four!!! Oh that's hilarious, especially given the sense of humor that the NCAA has these days. And really? Is Thabeet's nickname really "The Dream"??? That's worse than LaDanian Tomlinson stealing LT.

Lebron James Is Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Good

I can completely understand why a college would put together a website to try and get their kid an award like the Heisman, but when pro teams do it, I find it a little bit weird. Everyone knows that Lebron James is going to win the MVP Award this year, but Cleveland thought they could help out the star by creating a new website called....."LebronIsReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyGood.com". Here is the tagline....
Welcome to LeBronIsReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyGood.com! Please check out all the information that helps explain why LeBron James deserves the 2009 NBA MVP Award. Why six Reallys in the address? Because this is LeBron’s sixth season in the NBA! Enjoy the tour. Just mouse over each of the Reallys above and go directly to each of the six different areas that make the case REALLY clear who should be the 2009 NBA MVP… LeBron James!I know it's all in good fun, but unless you're Shaquille O'Neal going up against a white point guard, I'm pretty sure you don't need an MVP website. Especially in the NBA where it's pretty obvious the criteria needed for an MVP. Either lead the league in scoring or be in the top three, have rebounds and assists nearing 7 per game, and lead your team to a high seed in the Playoffs.
Obviously this year is a bit of an anomaly, because there are technically three worth candidates, but only Lebron qualifies in all three facets. Seems pretty obvious that he's the leader in the clubhouse. Cleveland probably could have saved some money on GoDaddy fees.

Sports Center Is Getting A Makeover, New Intro

I don't think they've been with the current look for that long, but the folks at ESPN are sending Sports Center to a stylist and she's coming back looking more dapper than ever! To coincide with the network's new LA digs, ESPN will be changing up the graphics for the show and it will even have a new intro. Here's your first look....
Rock! I don't know how I feel about that song to tell you the truth, but whatever works. The graphics however, look as fancy as ever, and here are a few more screenshots....
