Random Thoughts

Now if you told me in October when BC was undefeated and #2 in the country that they’d be playing in the “Champs Sports Bowl” at the slap-in-the-face start time of 5 p.m. on a Friday in December, I never would’ve believed it.  Actually, I probably would have.  Certainly a disappointing season for the Superfans considering the potential and schedule they had at the time.  But none of that matters now as BC tries to make it 8 meaningless bowl game victories in a row against a Michigan State team that can’t stop anybody on defense.  The Spartans have been giving up 31 points a game their last 4 and Matt Ryan should light it up in the final game of his college career.  As my degenerate buddy pointed out today, “6 of the 8 bowl games have gone Over which means we’re due for an Under.”  Now I don’t subscribe to that, therefore I’m taking BC -5 and the Over (56.5). 

No, I didn’t get a pick from the mailman.

Also, we’re having a live chat going at 5 p.m. You need to click on the "chat" button at the top in-between the "Photos" and "Hall of Fame" tabs. Once you’re inside you'll see a box in the bottom right hand corner that says "change nick to". That's where you enter your username or nickname. It doesn't allow spaces in the nickname.

REVERE, Mass. -- Police arrested a woman they said stole a taxi and crashed into an SUV. Rhoda Ngarambe, 23, stole the cab in Chelsea. Apparently, she didn't know where she was going because she stopped and asked a police officer for directions. Then Ngarambe took off on Route 16. According to police, she ran through stop signs, traffic lights and swerved through traffic. Police caught up with her after she crashed into an SUV in Revere. Alcohol was found in the vehicle and she was drunk, said authorities. Ngarambe was due in court on Thursday, but did not show. The state has issued a non-bailable warrant for her arrest.

Say whatever you want about Rhoda Ngarambe but this chick has balls of steel.   I mean it’s one thing to steal a taxi cab.  But then to stop and ask a cop for directions?    Simply diabolical!   Although truth be told, drunk or sober that area on Route 16 near Chelsea/Revere can be a little tricky.   But I digress.   Bottom-line is that I wouldn’t want to play truth or dare with Rhoda Ngarambe.    “Hey Rhoda I dare you to steal a cab, ask a cop for directions, run a bunch of red lights, crash into an SUV and then skip your court appearance.    Check Mate.

PS – Do you think the cop who gave her direction is getting razzed at the police station like when a guy gets turtled on film?   I mean it’s got to be kind of embarrassing to give directions to a drunk chick who is driving a stolen cab and not even bat an eyelash until she smashes into an SUV.

SportsbyBrooks has excerpts from a new book called "Secrets of a Hollywood Super Madam" that includes a nice little tidbit involving lovable ol' baseball windbag Tommy Lasorda.

According to the author, Jody Gibson, Lasorda once hired one of her employees after stumbling across her website while he was surfing porn. And Ol' Dodger Blue's favorite activity is, um... pulling the pitcher... when he sees two women in scoring position:

Gibson, who referes to herself as “Sasha”, writes that she got a call from client “Jim in Chicago,” who recommends Lasorda (Lasorda, “Sasha” (Gibson) and “Nanna” quotes are in italic).

Lasorda: “I’m interested in spending some time with someone.”

Sasha/Gibson: “Sounds fine. Have you had a chance to look at my California Dreamin’ website? Perhaps there’s someone there you like?”

Lasorda: “Actually, I have. There’s a pretty blonde on there I’d like to meet. #6.”

Sasha/Gibson: “She’s a sweetie. Her name is Nanna. She’s Swedish, about 5’6’’, nice perky 34b, slim and terrific company. Perhaps you can tell me what you’re looking for? Anything in particular I should know?”

Lasorda: “Actually, Sash, I’d like to have some porn for me to watch while she sucks my (expletive). I’m into watching two gals together in a movie. Can she have that there?”

(Edit: Nanna reports to Sasha/Gibson after Lasorda encounter)

Nanna: “He was super easy and a really nice guy. You were right on all counts, Sasha. First he requested I pop in my girl, girl porn movie. … He just loved watching all that! I noticed though that he wasn’t the aggressive type.”

Sasha/Gibson: “Really? What makes you say that?”

Nanna: “Well, here I had this real hot porn movie on. He enjoyed watching the girl, girl bisexual sex scenes best. He started to take his (expletive - penis) out and (expletive - masturbate). Then when I saw he was good and hard I started to suck his (expletive - penis). He really liked that!

I have no problem with Lasorda's ho-chasin'. Honestly, life must be tough for the old coot. I imagine that back in his glory days of the 70s and 80s, when he was going on Johnny Carson every month and hanging out with Sinatra, he was sitting at the top of the LA Middle Aged Cougar food pyramid and pulling all sorts of aging tale. Now he's sort of a forgotten figure and Joe Torre is king of the Orange County AARP jungle. I just wish he would've talked about hookers on his "Tonight Show" visits instead of Yogi Berra quotes and archaic stories about Pee Wee Reese missing bed check or whatever. The only thing that doesn't add up in the madam's book though, is I can't imagine Lasorda stringing together that many words without dropping the F-bomb. (NSFW: language):

I blatantly stole/borrowed this picture and caption contest from dlisted.com, but it’s just too hilarious not to post. I have no idea where they get these photos, but it's priceless shit.

MSNBC.com -- Welcome to the promise of the Internet at 33,000 feet — and the questions of etiquette, openness and free speech that airlines and service providers will have to grapple with as they bring Internet access to the skies in the coming months.

"This gets into a ticklish area," said Vint Cerf, one of the Internet's chief inventors and generally a critic of network restrictions. "Airlines have to be sensitive to the fact that customers are (seated) close together and may be able to see each other's PC screens. More to the point, young people are often aboard the plane."

Steve Jones, a University of Illinois at Chicago professor who specializes in Internet studies, said passengers and flight crews would need to undergo "the kinds of learning the ropes and learning the etiquette anytime we put new technology in new settings."

Just as most people have come to set boundaries for cell phone use in public settings, he said, "We will develop social norms for using the Internet in flight."

Well first of all I had to do a double take when I read the part in bold about the guy who invented the Internet.  Nice work dude.  But more importantly, there’s no way I’m boarding a plane if there’s the slightest chance the fat guy sitting next to me might be watching “Ass Bandits 24”.  That’s just not going to happen.  Plus, half the in-flight movies are made-for-Cinemax anyway.   You know how awkward it was watching “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” en route to Phoenix with some grandma and her little Suzy sitting next to me.  I almost needed an extra blanket when Angelina Jolie was strutting around in her bra and panties.  The bottom line is that if porn-on-a-plane happens, they’re going to need a designated “NSFW section” in the back so people could jerk off in private. Until then, let’s stick to what ICARO does (see above) and just have hot chicks prancing around the cabin like a Barstool fashion show.  That's where I'd draw the line.

There are only two ways to celebrate Sienna Miller's 26th birthday.

You can do it the SFW way...

Or the completely NSFW way. Either way you win. PS. Jude Law dumped her for a nanny. Think about that while you look.

TMZ.com - When a fan threw ice at R&B singer Trey Songz, he probably didn't expect Trey and his bodyguard to leap from the stage and come after him, but that's exactly what happened. In a video posted on Mediatakeout, the "Can't Help But Wait" singer orders the DJ to cut the music after someone throws ice at him. He then scouts out the fan and flies off stage with his bodyguard   According to allhiphop.com "They beat the dude down. Took his jewels, chains, and grills.”

Man you know you got fucked up when somebody steals your grills.  I didn’t even know that was possible.   I kind of thought grills were like braces.  Like they were attached to your teeth or something.  Anyway, what is the deal with Trey Songz?   Relax dude.   That piece of ice wasn’t even close to hitting you.  Not exactly a reason to dive bomb somebody if you ask me.   And if you want to be such a tough guy how about not bringing along your 9,000 pd body guard next time.   Bottom-line is that if you want to steal somebody’s grills than do it yourself.   

PS – This is why I’m never going to add a Z to the end of my kid’s first or last name.   I feel like it’s just asking for trouble. 

I still love Delonte West. How can you not? He's the kind of guy that gets kicked in the balls and asks "Is that all you got?" He's the guy in the movies that's too stupid to die... even when he's been shot a dozen times. Besides... he's fucking crazy (more video evidence here)... in a good way.

I watched Delonte out there last night in Seattle, dropping 19 points and making gutsy plays against the Celtics... and I just had to smile. I could do that because the Celtics won... but I also did that because I'll always have a fondness in my heart for him. It's like dating the hottest, coolest girl around... but always having a soft spot for that average looking ex because she was a freak and into anal. You'd still break up with her for the new, hot chick... but you'll always dig her... (and wonder if there was any way the new girl would be into bringing that old girl back).

I'll understand if any of you Celtics fans had flashbacks after watching last night's game. Not only was Delonte being Delonte... but Wally Szczerbiak was, as usual, barely effective enough to make you wonder if he still had it.... and Paul Pierce was doing a bulk of the scoring. Paul dropped 37 on the Sonics... almost all of it in the second half as he carried the C's to the win.

(If you want daily Celtics updates, stop by RedsArmy.com.... you can even get my take on why Ray Allen didn't drop 50 like I though he would... and why I'm happy to be wrong about it)

Oh my god.  I would have paid 7 zillion dollars to be a fly on the wall during the locker room speech at half time.   Great job by the sideline reporter of handling the situation as well.  "In the well being of me, I have to get out of his way."

Hint: She's single.
