I guarantee you've never said that sentence before. This was so completely random, that I felt compelled to put it up. I just got finished watching an old Pride MMA fight on YouTube. And this video automatically started playing next. So odd...it cracked me up. Enjoy all 26 seconds of it.

Name the four movies, and also explain what they share or have in common.
Good luck!

So the idea was to pull a prank on the Girl's Basketball Coach, Joel Branstrom. Up for grabs were Final Four tickets. All he had to do was make a half-court shot...blindfolded. Everyone in attendance was in on it. When he inevitably misses the shot, they were told to pretend like he made it & go crazy. The plan was foolproof. Right? Because there's no way in the World he's gonna make a half-court shot, blindfolded. Right?
It almost went perfectly. There was just one problem...
Obviously, he made the shot. Crazy! The problem being, they didn't really have Final Four tickets to give him. Apparently, Joel was pretty cool about everything & had a good sense of humor about it. And now, since the story has gotten so much attention; some Final Four tickets have been donated to him. Good for him, he deserved them.
But wait, there's more...
When all the dust had settled, and everyone was gone. Local Kansas City TV reporter, Rob Low, was covering the story. And like all local news coverage, there had to be a gimmick or stunt involved. Normally, it's a reporter milking a cow, while reporting about a milk recall, or some shit like that. In this case, of course, while Rob -- by the way, no relation to Rob Lowe, star of the 1986 classic, Youngblood -- is doing his report, he throws up a half-court shot too.
But something unexpected happened...

I put something about this up on facebook yesterday. But I thought I'd put it up here too, for the 3 of you that come here & don't use facebook. I work in the post-production department of Artisan PictureWorks in Atlanta. So I normally don't work on the production side, but recently I helped out as a cameraman for a C-SPAN program we were shooting. It was pretty fun, but sort of boring. Unless you like listening to a bunch of economists talk for a couple of hours.
Then, a couple of days later, I was watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Which by the way, is pretty much the only show out there that calls bullshit on both sides, so I like it. And what doth my eyes behold? Footage I shot, used in a montage in a Daily Show segment. I know, I know, it was pretty amazing to say the least. Don't tell anybody, but I'm going to start putting The Daily Show on my résumé & listing Jon Stewart as a professional reference. I'm pretty sure he'll be cool with it.
I don't know how long this link will remain active, but you can see the full segment here:
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - Stealth Care Reform
It's pretty funny. Any time you hear C-SPAN & motherfucking in the same sentence, you'll have a good time.

Well, it was somewhat of an anticlimactic finish. Although it was cool that it came down to the tiebreaker, I was hoping it would come down to the National Championship game. But only one of you picked Texas anyway. With McCoy going out so early, I was surprised it was as much of a game as it was. I'm not a fan of Texas, but I hated seeing McCoy go out like that. I still think Alabama would've won if McCoy played, but you never know. Alright, most of you probably know already, but here are the final results. Congrats kid_shazam!
kid_shazam: 21-13*
DuffDawg: 21-13
jlutjelu: 20-14
hotstuffler: 20-14
Independent Thought: 19-15
floridagators: 19-15
Rorschach's Revenge: 19-15
philmonica: 19-15
floridag8tor: 18-16
stlope01: 18-16
PaPa: 18-16
bsav21: 18-16
ally2581: 18-16
alterbatman: 17-17
mattbiltswitch: 17-17
Hope: 15-19
*kid_shazam beat out DuffDawg via the tiebreaker. The final score of the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl was 47-20 (67). kid_shazam's point total was 44 and DuffDawg's was 91. So kid_shazam had a 1 point closer guess. It doesn't get any closer than that. Sorry for the tough loss DuffDawg. But that's what you get for picking Georgia Tech. You're a bulldog fan. What were you thinking?
Okay, well thanks for playing. I plan on doing this again next year. It should be fun. Later.

Here we go, 32 of the 34 bowl game have been played now, and we are coming down to the wire. We still have the GMAC Bowl tonight, which will feature Central Michigan vs. Troy. And then obviously, Texas vs. Alabama will play for the BCS National Championship tomorrow night. Here are the updated standings through last night's Orange Bowl.
hotstuffler: 19-13 (Troy & Alabama)
kid_shazam: 19-13 (Central Michigan & Alabama)
PaPa: 18-14* (Troy & Texas)
------------------------------------------------------------------
DuffDawg: 19-13**
Independent Thought: 18-14
jlutjelu: 18-14
philmonica: 17-15
floridagators: 17-15
Rorschach's Revenge: 17-15
---------------------------------------
floridag8tor: 16-16
bsav21: 16-16
ally2581: 16-16
stlope01: 16-16
mattbiltswitch: 15-17
alterbatman: 15-17
Hope: 14-18
Unfortunately, any of you that are 16-16 or worse, you've been officially mathematically eliminated. Sorry, I wish you better luck next year.
Also, based on the remaining picks: Independent Thought, jlutjelu, philmonica, floridagators & Rorschach's Revenge can't win. Because your picks for the final two games are the same as either hotstuffler's & kid_shazam's.
*PaPa holds the tiebreaker over hotstuffler.
**DuffDawg picked the last two games the same as kid_shazam, but kid_shazam holds the tiebreaker (by 1 point).
So, let me use my incredible skills of logic, to break it down for you.
If Central Michigan wins tonight, it's over, kid_shazam wins.
If Troy & Alabama win, hotstuffler wins.
If Troy & Texas win, PaPa wins.
I'll put up the final results & officially announce the winner on Friday. Good luck to all those still in the running.

...a World with a D-I football playoff system. Yeh, yeh, we'll eventually get to "living for today" & "living life in peace." Let's fix the BCS first though. I've been enjoying the bowl games, but imagine how much more incredible they'd be if some of them meant even more. I noticed something yesterday that I thought was interesting. I hear all the time that the bowl system is so great & revs up so much interest, and that a playoff would ruin that.
Well, let's test that theory. My favorite show on ESPN is PTI. They cover all the big stories going on in sports. So I was watching yesterday's show, and you know what I noticed after it finished? Following a huge week/weekend of college football bowl games, including the Rose Bowl & Sugar Bowl. Guess how much time they spent talking about any of that. The answer would be 0 minutes & 0 seconds. You know why? Because in the end, 33 of the 34 bowl games really don't matter & they have no bearing on the National Championship.
It's so obvious that a playoff is needed. I'm getting a bit tired/frustrated talking about it, but I won't stop. Following the Fiesta Bowl last night, I began thinking about how huge next weekend would be if there was a playoff. So I mocked-up a little bracket, just for the hell of it. I'm in favor of an 8-team playoff & I'm not in favor of having any byes. So this isn't exactly what I want. Ideally, Ohio State & Oregon would also be involved, but like I said, this was just a quick idea, using 6 teams. But again, anything like this would be better than the BCS. Where you have Boise State go 14-0 -- defeating the Pac-10 Champion, Oregon, and the Mountain West Champion, TCU; along with 4 other bowl teams -- yet they won't even sniff a share of the National Championship. And they sure as hell won't be given the opportunity to win one on the field.
Okay, that's enough, I'm done. Even though it's frustrating, I love looking at & daydreaming about stuff like this. What can I can say? I'm a glutton for punishment. Just imagine...
