Gnarls Barkley’s Misleading Wednesday Writes

Wait a second.. That is Charles Barkley, the basketball player and the guy who stares at the camera after choosing Kentucky to beat Ohio State on CBS! Oh my bad FAQ guy, classic mixup!

Well, as you guessed, Gnarls Barkley does not have to do with this post.

RIP Manute Bol

Well, as I made this post I was mind blown. Cee Lo Green is Gnarls Barkley? Say what? Yeah if you want a bio blast, Gnarls Barkley is like Led Zepplelin. It is not a person, just a band with the name of a person pretty much.

Anyways, on to the notes…

– Miami edged out Philly tonight and is moving on to the next round in a much anticipated match-up of, Celtics vs Heat. 

– Memphis, Memphis? Say what? is up 3-1 on the series against the Spurs. They try and clinch the series tonight.

– In a third NBA game tonight, the Durantula and the Thunder face the golden Nuggets.

– As Tim Cowlishaw predicted earlier in Around the Horn, the Boston Bruins are going to overtime in game 7 against the Montreal ‘Habs?’ Canadians. We might have an update later..

-The NFL draft is tomorrow. The number 1 pick is still kind of a toss up I guess.

-Big Peyton Hillis will be on the Madden ’12 cover. I like Hillis and all but of course SportsNation would make a tournament to see who fans wanted on the cover. However, the only problem I have with this is that Aaron Rodgers did not win. He led the Pack to a Superbowl championship and also won the Superbowl MVP and did not get on the cover. Seriously…?

-What ever happened to Latrell Sprewell? Oh well, according to one of Yahoo’s ‘make you really want to click’ articles,  he went broke.

UPDATE: Boston beat the ‘Habs’ in overtime.

That is pretty much it for tonight, listen to some good ole’ Gnarls Barkley why don’t ya?

Pegleg Pete’s Tuesday Taboo

– This is the first annual Pegleg Pete’s Tuesday Taboo.

– I just looked at ESPN.com and somehow the Magic are up by 35 points.  I really want a Pacers-Grizzlies final, but I don’t think that the Pacers will live another day.  Tony Allen and his Grizzly haircut is “fresh,” and Zach Randolph will beat the living daylights out of anyone and give them a bloody nose.  “Sounds like a blast!” says Tyler Hansbourgh.

– There is going to be an NFL season next year which makes JT very very happy.  Insert “THERE’S GONNA BE AN NFL NEXT YEAR!!!!” here.

– Tiger Woods is going to miss a few more weeks with a leg injury.

– The NFL draft is coming up, and I am looking forward to the Saturday Slate of 8 hours of continuous coverage for rounds 4-7.  Who is going to be that “Mr. Irrelevant!!!!”

– Jay Cutler got engaged just in case anyone cared.

That’s it for Pegleg Pete’s Short Tuesday Taboo!

Conan O’Brien’s Monday Night Notes and Roast

– What does Conan have to do with this post?  You guessed it! For the 357th time, the title person does not have anything to do with the post.

– Jodie Meeks is having a good game against the Heat, but his team is down 30 points.  Evan Turner still thinks that he is really good, but he really isn’t.

– Bob Knight came out with some comments today suggesting that the 2010 basketball players “never attended a class.”  Well Bob, once again you are wrong.  Every player on the team attended at least one class that entire year.  I am sure that they went to one class because they would have to go to one or else they would not be in college.  Sorry that I am taking things too literally Bob, but at least our players don’t get slapped after they get a turnover.  Also, our coach isn’t known for throwing chairs on the court, and yelling expletives to his players rather than being a good coach.  Yes, you are the all-time winningest coach, and you think that you are a saint.  In reality though, you are no where near the level of Rupp or John Wooden.  At least they are known for  winning some championships.  Also, your wikipedia page has to put the title “controversies” in separate decades because you have so many.  Oh ya.  Those comments about John Calipari’s integrity last year?  Yea, those were coming from a man who has had 3 assistant coaches in the 2000’s alone make comments about how he hurt them while he was the head coach.  Oh, and the guy at Texas Tech that said you fired a shotgun in his direction because he was “too close to my home.”  That is integrity at its finest right there.  So old man, tell those kids to get off your lawn now.  And Bob, how do you like your potatoes.  I would probably think roasted. 

– Now, the Lakers and Spurs both lost yesterday, which were huge upsets.

-Dwight Howard is the defensive player of the year for the 3rd straight year.  Bobby wouldn’t like Dwight though because he has too much talent.  He likes players that dive on balls and get 5 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, so they are considered all-around.

– Harrison Barnes is coming back, and that’s about it.  DING. My potatoes are done, so I am going to end it here.

Walley World’s Wacky Wednesday Writings

Let’s go take a trip with the Grizwald’s and Clark!

– Featured in the 1983 movie National Lampoon’s Family Vacation, Wally World has absolutely nothing to do with this post.

– Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 for yelling an expletive at a referee in a national televised game.

– Derrick Williams is going to enter the 2011 NBA Draft in New York City.  David Stern will get a little excited when announcing the picks, but the associate commissioner, who announces the 2nd round will get the jeepers creepers when the large basketball players get drafted.

– Ozzie Guillen is again mad at his players for losing the game last night, and will most likely get a %100,000 fine for yelling expletives on camera.  Those are the same words that Bob Knight used during his halftime speeches to try to pump them up.  He couldn’t realize why telling them that if you don’t (expletive) play (expletive) hard. hes going to (expletive) run (expletive) out of them, didn’t get them pumped up.

– Lebron pulled in front of Kobe as the highest purchased jersey.

– Barry Bonds was found guilty for lying, which comes at no surprise.

– Richard Pitino, Rick Pitino’s son was named a head coach in waiting for the Louisville Cardinals.  This continues many jokes that may have already been started, but will quickly end.  (Enter the “I get its” here)

– Now for some good ole’ Friends of Distinction…

Shin-Soo Choo’s Tuesday Triumphs

BioBlast: Shin-Soo Choo, also known as 추신수, is from South Korea and is a right fielder for the Cleveland Indians.

Wait a second here… you haven’t made a post in like.. two weeks, and Shin-Soo Choo actually has to do with something in this post? What? What’s going on here? Nothing FAQ guy, I’m glad you’re back too.

– So if you haven’t heard the news already from FAQ guy, Shin-Soo Choo actually does have to do with this post. His swingin’ Indians have won 8 games in a row. This is only significant because they actually have nobody on their roster besides maybe a few pitchers and Shin-Soo Choo that I have heard of.

– As we all know by now, Uconn beat Butler in what is now known for the worst NCAA basketball championship game ever.

– Well, as a number of players are leaving, most are staying which means that college basketball is going to be stacked next year.

– ESPN is really obsessed with this Tom Brady and his very poor draft pick in the sixth round. They are also obsessed with his hair and how we starts to cry. You would have to pay me to watch that.

-Also, ESPN is going crazy on how the network’s beloved Lakers have lost five games in a row. What does ESPN stand for? Entertainment and Sports Programming Network duh FAQ guy..

-BD’s favorite, Von Wafer apparently made the worst play of the NBA season. (below)

Well, that is it for today’s back on track notes.
