The Office: I mean...that was probably one of the best episodes ever. Sure it was a long layoff...but it was totally worth it.
Line of the Night: Jim when he said, "Michael and Jan seem to playing their own separate game. And it's called let's see how uncomfortable we can make our guests...and they are both winning."
One word line of the Night: Pam with her "Awesome" after seeing Dwight crash the party with some older woman.
Movie of the Weekend: Well there is no telling if I will see a movie this weekend, but if I do, I'm definitely trying to see Smart People. Too bad Forgetting Sarah Marshall isn't out yet. That looks pretty good.
United: Well its back to work in the MLS. The boys find themselves in Utah this weekend. At least you don't have to worry about them staying out too late tonight getting nuts. Prediction: United 3 Real Salt Lake 1.
Gooners: Still bummed out about that bogus PK from Tuesday but whatever. All will be right in the world if they can somehow get a win over the Red Devils. I hope Senderos doesn't make the trip. Prediction: Arsenal 2 Man U 1.
NBA Playoffs: Huge win for the Nuggets last night. It now looks like they might make the playoffs after all. I was sure they would lose last night. Recently they have been the enver Nuggets. The reason being that they play ZERO defense.
Hoyas: OMG can't we just sit back and relax until Kenner League? Nope. Tons of preseason polls are coming out and Georgetown is ranked between 5 and 18 so far. I'll take a little bit more interest in these types of things when we know for certain who is actually leaving early. Until then...why bother?
Ok I'm out...later Babe.

when winning just isn't enough...
Well United got the 2-1 comeback win last night, but it wasn't enough as Pachuca advanced to the final by virtue of their 3-2 aggregate advantage in the two game series.
Major bummer my man. The 2-1 comeback wasn't even all that exciting because after Pachuca went up 1-0, it was really 3-0. At 3-0 you know it was lights out baby.
Trash can invasions: I guess if you make a huge mess enough times, somebody will eventually notice. Let me put it this way: for the first half hour or so there were probably more trash cans than people. I think the Barra Brava should take it as a tailgate challenge. Can we produce enough junk in 5 hours to fill all of the cans? I think so.
Never a good idea to wear shoes that you like to a tailgate....
I know this. I even provide this information to all of my friends free of charge. Well guess what this guy did last weekend? Yep, that's right. I wore some shoes down to Lot 8 that I actually still like to wear in public.
Bad idea.
Not only did they get dirty but I also, in a freak table clearing accident, managed to tag my right shoe with a gratuitous amount of salsa. Yummy. Nothing says "I'm a winner" better than decorating your Nikes with a side from On The Border. Nice work Bob, you idiot.

sagna was the deal breaker...
You simply can't play Senderos.
You can't. Well, not if you want to win anyway.
I'd rather just roll the dice and put a midfielder in the backline. He played a huge role in Liverpool's first two goals. The crazy thing is that even with his presence it looked as if a 2-2 draw was going to be enough to advance after Walcott's incredible run in the 84th minute.
Nope.
A suspect penalty call came less than a minute later. Another goal came in the last minute of injury time as most of the players had pressed ahead for that late equalizer that never showed up.
Oh well. At least I didn't run up a huge bar tab this afternoon. I can still go to the gym and then play some basketball later this evening without any of that extra beer weight. I think I have enough of that anyway.
I can get my drinking in tomorrow at RFK and not have to feel bad about boozing it up on back to back days.
Damn I hate Liverpool.
Last Nite: I guess I missed a pretty good National Championship game. I watched most of the first half but I just couldn't get into so I went to bed. I really wanted Calipari's guys to win it so I would know what it felt like to see a National Title vacated. I'm just glad the tournament is over. Once Georgetown lost I couldn't watch. Watching other teams play in games that could have been them would have been like watching your old girlfriend hook up with other guys. So basically it would just flat out suck.
Ever wonder what Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk meant?
Yeah me too.
Here you go!

halftime update...
I usually don't like ESPN but today they are coming through pretty big for me. You see I couldn't leave in time to see the match but I'm not having a problem watching it on ESPN360 live right from my office.
Things started out great with Arsenal creating tons of chances from Adebayor. Diaby was able to score in the first half of the the first half and all was well.
Then Senderos started to make his presence felt. First he got a Yellow Card and then he decided not to mark his man on a corner kick. The result? A goal and now we are all tied at the half. Sanga being hurt is killing this team.
Ok the game is about to come back on. Remember: 1-1 is the only result that will require extra time. Any other tie gives Arsenal the win.
Go Gooners...

c'mon you gooners...
It has come down to this.
They are out of the Carling Cup.
The FA Cup is finished.
Winning the league isn't looking so great. It's gonna take a win at Old Trafford this weekend to even have a chance. Of course they got it a 1-0 result there last year.
But today is the day for glory. This is the last chance for silverware this season.
A chance to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The only hiccup is that they are playing one of the most annoying teams in all of football - Liverpool. They love to slow the game down and make it ugly - a real rock fight if you will. This is a club that is undoubtedly still stuck in 80's. Hey it works in these knockout competitions but fails them over an entire season.
I'm not really sure if I can get out of work to watch it live which is of course dagger city. I have an open gym date later tonight in Springfield which could force me to put off this game until well after 10pm. Damn these midweek European club competitions. Actually I will take the blame for not being independently wealthy.

I like Arsenal to go through 2-1 with goals from Adebayor and Fabregas while conceding an own goal from Senderos. That guy is a walking own goal/red card waiting to happen.

no doogie for you...
I normally keep a pretty neat room but last night when I got home from my half game (more on that to come later) I just wasn't feeling it. As a result my room looks like somebody set off a laundry bomb.
So this morning as I was rummaging through piles upon piles of clean clothes and throwing them in my gym bag, I had a thought. I somehow remembered that it was Monday and I needed to DVR two of the five TV shows that I actually watch. I skipped ahead on the guide to 9pm on CBS only to find out that How I Met Your Mother isn't on tonight.
The reason? The last game of the tournament is taking that valuable air time.
And then it hit me. I am turning soft. And by soft I mean gay.
We live in a really scary world when I am disappointed because I can't get my weekly half-hour dose of Neil Patrick Harris. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Instead I have the opportunity to watch Calipari and his merry band of cheaters go after the National Championship that, should they win, will most likely be vacated. Think I'm exaggerating? Well check out what happened the last time he took a team to the Final Four.
Lights, Camera, Action: Well, not exactly. In what was turning out to be a really good game last night between FC Dynamite and Daily Grind, something funny happened. The lights went off at halftime and refused to come back on. What a total bummer. Even worse is that Red Robin was closed so I got shutout in my effort to crush a late night Banana Shake.

people say things...
In the last two days I have come across a couple of quotes or, if you will, lines that I probably won't be forgetting anytime soon. So it would be my honor to let all of you know what has caught my eye.
**Judge Bernie Bouchard refereed to former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry as a "one-man crime wave". This after he was arrested for the 5th time in less than 3 years. Nice work Henry. I guess getting into fights with 18 year olds was more important than playing in the National Football League. The closest I can relate to this is the time I went on a one-man lard rampage in 7th grade. That's all I got.
**Bill Self after learning he lost senior reserve guard Rodrick Stewart to a busted kneecap in a Final Four practice - "Obviously he is out," said Self. "He'll have surgery when he gets back to Lawrence. So, not a great start to our day." - I think that is putting it pretty lightly Bill.
**Oscar's attachment in the latest Barra Brava email has some incredible language. He is renting something from a company called Corporate Concessions (their website isn't exactly very helpful). Apparently they are specializing in the niche market of Mobile Party Machines. I am a big fan of the saying 30ft state of the art Tailgate Party Machine. I wish we could just park it outside of my house for the rest of my life.
