On Poker after dark, Daniel Negreanu pulled out his great Scotty Nguyen impression, and Scotty was there to be himself!  Some good back and forth, +3 for each.

+2 more for Daniel's wild dream that he describes here, in his blog.

Speaking of blogs, Gilbert Arenas' are LOOOOOONG.  In this one, though, he had a funny comment about choosing which road trips he'll go on:

"I haven't made a road trip with the team yet. I'm probably going to pick whatever city sounds nice. If it's a really bad city like Minnesota I'll be like, 'Oh my God! Whoo! I got some swelling, coach. I don't think I can make this one.'

Now, if it's Miami, I'm like, 'Coach, the sun and the weather and the beaches in Miami give my knee a really good feeling. I better come.' "

+2.

Nothing of note happened in the BCS title game, other than horrible talking heads.  -3 to Chris Rose, the host, and -3 to the sideline reporter, Chris Myers, for his awful "schtick".

The best thing about yesterday was the G-State/Spurs game.  Check out the L.O.N. recap for further details.  The points break down like this:  Tony Parker +2, Tim Duncan +2, Manu Ginobili +2, Michael Finley +2, Baron Davis +4, Stephen Jackson +4.



Allen Kessler, +5, DON'T MESS WITH THE CHAINSAW!!!!!!

Blu & Exile, +3 each for a great album:  Below The Heavens.

The Sports Guy put together a good links column this week.  +3
