Watching Baseball Tonight, I thought it was hilarious how they were talking about George, the fan in Montreal.  George apparently made a deal with Mike Cameron of the Mets that if Cameron hit a home run then George would move to left field.  Well, Cameron hit two home runs and George never moved.  The Baseball Tonight crew seemed to be more interested in George's huge 9 1/2 watermelon head.  They even went so far as to say "he would make a great goalie because you couldn't get anything past his head."

I will be in Cincinnati this weekend.  I'm taking in a Reds - Astros game.  This will be the third park that I've seen the Astros in (Houston, Pittsburgh, Cinncinati), tying them with the Pirates for second on the list of teams I have seen in the most stadiums.  The Indians are in first with five parks (Montreal, Boston, New York, Cleveland, Detroit).

Do athletes ever wonder why the average person thinks they are incredibly spoiled?  Could it be because of the whole "I don't like playing for your team.  I signed a contract with you, but I want you to trade me to this team.  That's the only team I will play for.  I don't care if you can't get anything in return.  I want you to trade me to this team.  If you don't, then I'm going to take my ball and go home."

Cry me a freaking river.

I remember a time when SportsCenter had.... you know.... sports.  I remember when they didn't show movie clips and music videos in the middle of the show.  It's not called MTV News Center.  What are they thinking?  Does the new format actually have better ratings?  I can't believe that it does.

There are only a few issues that I have with the Bourne Supremacy.  During the first 20 minutes of the movie it must have been a crime to use a non-handheld camera and it must have also been a crime to stay on a scene for more than 1 second.  Every shot was jumping all over the place as the cameraman runs after whatever it is he was shooting.

Cut to the phone.  Cut to the door.  Cut to Matt Damon.  Cut to the car.  Cut to the mailbox.  Cut to the TV.  Cut to the newspaper.  Cut to a non-related airplane flying over.  Cut to someone at the beach.  Cut back to Matt Damon.  Cut to the door again.

You've just experienced 11 seconds of the movie.

After the first 20 minutes, the handheld camera shots decreased by at least 75% and the non-stop cutting stopped (at least until the Moscow car chase).  That's also when the movie became watchably good... maybe even good enough to purchase.  I thought it was on par with the Bourne Identity.  The rating for this movie seems to float.  It could be anywhere from a 6 to an 8.  For now, I will set the rating at 6. Would accept as a gift / would pay money to rent.

Also, they apparently cut out the perplexed/constipated look he had on the rooftop.  Either that, or maybe I just blocked it out, because while I remember the scene, I don't recall seeing that look.

I'm going to see Bourne Supremacy tonight.  Expect a full report later.

Ricky Williams retired today.  That was a pretty suprising development to me.  He said that "he wanted to be free."  I think that's code for "I was on my way to a drug related suspension, so I had better pull a Michael Jordan and leve the game before all the fans learn what really happened."

I predict that he will un-retire within at most a year.

I took back my NCAA Football 2005 today.  Apparently there are a lot of people having the same problems.  EA has said that there are some defective discs, and all you have to do is return the game for a new disc.  So far, no problems.

The freaking PlayStation 2 has got to be the biggest pile of crap piece of electronics that I own.  I've had NCAA Football 2005 for 3 days.  In that time, it has locked up irrecoverably twice after the completion of a game and prior to saving.  In the 4 years that I've owned my GameCube it has locked up once.

When you have a game where Taylor Stubblefield returns 3 punts for touchdowns, you'd like to get credit for it.

When you shut out Northwestern 49-0 at Evanston, you'd like to get credit for that too.

What a pile.

Here's an article, which by now I'm sure everyone is aware of.  If you're not, then I suggest you read it.  It's a first hand account of what is believed to be a terrorist dry-run on a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles.  Here it is:
