First off, a huge Garbage Minutes shoutout to the kids in this Chevy commercial for deadpanning the Pudge Fisk/Kirk Gibson classic World Series moments. My colleague here at GM used to do a pretty good Kirk, limp and all, during moments of celebration during bar games, but this kid has him beat. For the record, I am likely to save up my celebation for when I know the game is in the bag and then execute the Mike Eruzione running man on skates. Anyway, here is the video:
- This week in stadium food/heart disease: I present to you, from the Akron Aeros, the Three Dog Night. If you can't tell what you're looking at, it is a hot dog inside a bratwurst inside a kielbasa. I love America.
- Empty MLB stadium shots are all the rage this season. Here is Citi Field 20 minutes before first pitch. I'm pretty sure since the US Government pretty much owns Citi Bank if you show up with a W-2 you can get in for free. Only thing that sucks is you then have to sit through a Mets game.
- Jen Sterger, the target of Brett Favre's lewd cell phone photos, taped an interview for Good Morning America where she says she wants to put this all behind her and get her life and career back. That's exactly what I thought too, but apparently she had a career. Another entitled "famous for being famous" internet star you will likely/hopefully) never hear from again.
- According to betonline.com, someone placed $1,000 on Charl Schwartzel before the Masters Started . . . at 88-1. God bless you, sir.
- This week in hypocrisy: NCAA March Madness revenue sharing edition. Butler gets screwed. Bottom line. NCAA gets $771 million TV contract every year. Butler received just over $700,000 total for making the finals two years in a row. That's .06% of the revenue, for those of you keeping score at home.
- If you don't have one of these bad boys pasted up behind your toilet how do you know if you're staying hydrated or not?
- Finally, the end of an era. NBC announced Steve Carell's last appearance on "The Office" will air on April 28. Going to be an emotional day here at the Texas GM headquarters. In his honor, I give you life lessons by Michael Scott:
