Idiot: number one?
>> No, summer like the season, and the number one.
Idiot: Number, like the season?
>> *Sigh* yes... number. Like the season.
Idiot: Do you mean summer ZERO one?
>> No, just summer and the number one.
Idiot: I know, but is there a ZERO before the one?

You know what I miss? I miss watching True Lies 40 times a semester on BTV and making chicken pizza things and dipping them in Miracle Whip.
You know what I don't miss? I don't miss the hurricance force winds that assaulted me every Winter day for 4 years and I don't miss the zamboni's that used to drive along the sidewalks and polish the ice.
Owwww!!! My neck! My back! My neck and my back!

The latest rumor from ESPN.com says Among the most intriguing? League sources told Insider over the weekend that Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas, the Sixers' Eric Snow and the Raptors' Alvin Williams are all being dangled right now.
Ilgauskas has teams licking their chops for one reason -- when he's healthy, he's one of the two or three best offensive centers in the league. The big question though, is how much longer he can stay off crutches. After missing two full seasons with foot injuries, Ilgauskas made a miraculous comeback midway through last season. Is there a team out there willing to take the risk?
He has been phenomenal for the Cavs through the first half, which is partly why Cleveland wants to trade him -- his value has never been higher. Cavs GM Jim Paxson is also concerned that the heavy minutes he logged under John Lucas's tutelage will eventually catch up with him. Add three young centers -- DeSagana Diop, Chris Mihm and Michael Stewart -- to the mix and you can understand the Cavs' motivation. They need their young bigs to get more playing time and would love to be out from under the remaining two years and $28 million of Ilgauskas's contract.
So, who is rumored to be interested? The Knicks could put together a package of Charlie Ward, Travis Knight and Othella Harrington that would put them in the picture. Ward only has $2 million worth of salary protection on his contract next season, Knight has just one more year left on his deal, and Harrington's salary won't do any major cap damage. The move would allow the Cavs to clear about $5 million in additional cap room for next summer and $11 million of cap space for the summer of 2004.
The Jazz could also be interested, possibly shipping Greg Ostertag, John Amaechi, Jason Collins and a No. 1 draft pick. And the Blazers, always willing to wheel and deal, have looked at moving soon-to-be free agents Scottie Pippen and Antonio Daniels to Cleveland for Ilguaskas, Tyrone Hill and Michael Stewart.
I think it would be folly for the Cavs to trade Z. They've waited for 2 years for him to get healthy, and now that he finally is, they want to trade him... It fits perfectly with Paxons theory though: when a player gets good, trade them.

I saw Catch Me If You Can -- starring Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio, and a minor role by Jennifer Garner -- over the weekend. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't purchase it. On the crazy movie scale, it gets a 6. Would accept as a gift / would pay money to rent
I also saw A Beautiful Mind, and let me tell you, the only beautiful thing about that movie was the way Jennifer Connelly looked at times. A Beautiful Mind, otherwise known as, A Beautiful Piece Of Over-rated Hollywood Crap, receives a score of 3. Would probably return it if I received it as a gift. To put it another way... I had more fun doing 5 way Nash equilibriums in Econ than I did watching this movie.

The spread on the Super Bowl is 3 - 3 1/2 points. I think that whoever wins will win by about 14 though. I think it's possible for Tampa Bay to shut down Oakland, and I also think it's possible for Oakland to score a boat load on Tampa Bay. The first couple of minutes will determine the game I think.
I'm leaning towards Tampa though.

Great. According to this article on ESPN.com LeBron James is mad that the Cavs fired John Lucas. Apparently they were fairly close -- ever since Lucas got fined $150K for having James at a practice. That's all the Cavs need... with any luck now, they'll get the number 1 pick and James will not sign with the Cavs.
Terrific.
Terrific.

Did anyone see Darius Miles get smoked by Tracy McGrady last night? There were about 117 people in the Gund, but they don't count because they were paid to be there. Darius (in theory) can play all 5 positions. The problem is that he can't play any of them well. Maybe he is just demorialized. Maybe he misses Quentin Richardson. Maybe he has hit himself in the head 1 too many times. Who knows.

Super Bowl XXXVII: Oakland Raiders vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers. My prediction? One of those teams will have a player who catches an oblong object and crosses a white line. When that happens, a "referee" will raise his hands and say, "Hey. I want a sandwich this long." The team that has the most long sandwiches will obtain more "points" than the other team.
You heard it here first. When you go to Vegas, make sure to bet on the sandwiches.

John Lucas has been fired as head coach of the Cavs. Why? Does this team have the talent to win it all? Hardly. I agree that they can be playing better than they are, but isn't it about time that the players take responsibility for that instead of the coach? How many coaches do the Cavs have to get before they realize that the general manager makes bad trades and drafts bad players? They're stupid.

I saw the movie Signs over the weekend. I don't think it had as good an ending as The Sixth Sense, but then again, very few movies do. It was worth watching... the plot was good, the acting was good (especially the little girl), and the use of silence was especially good. Overall I'd give it a 6/10 on my extremely harsh scale.
6. Would accept as a gift / would pay money to rent

I saw Shallow Hal and The Royal Tenenbaums yesterday. Neither one was nearly as funny as I thought they would be. The funniest part of either was at the very end of The Royal Tenenbaums, after Royal dies of a heart attack, they show the writing he wanted put on his tombstone... "He died tragically while saving his family on a sinking battleship."
Shallow Hal: 4 out of 10. Would watch it on TV if there was nothing else on and I had nothing better to do.
.
The Royal Tenenbaums: 3 out of 10. Would probably return it if I received it as a gift.
