TV returns, plus king kong's junk

finally got TV and the dvr back in the crib. enjoying the rockets/heat game. it's like taking candy from a baby when i ridicule the idiocy of dick vitale, so lets shift direction and talk about current events: specfically - panthers cheerleaders having sex in a bar bathroom? now, as exciting as this sounds, I don't think it really happened. it just isn't something that girls tend to do, even the sort of girls that would get in a bar fight. now, if it was two male cheerleaders, then I might believe it. moving on...

instant feedback from the heat game:

d. wade is the truth. I know that I am in violation of my rules-against-stating-the-obvious but as a laker fan it irks me. every time I see him play I realize how pathetic the lakers were in not getting him for shaq. the rule is: if you trade your best player, you get the other team's best player. no, wade wouldn't have been a laker for very long. the lakes would have flipped him for a legitimate big man (not Kwame "creampuff" Brown). but 3 mediocres are not equivalent to one very good (I say very good, b/c the trade was before he blew up into a superstar last year).

are smokers really going to the philipmorris.com website to get information about quitting smoking? is it too direct to just tell people that smoking will kill you? i guess so.

saw a rare double foul / jump ball in the game. it was a combo charge/blocking violation, and fouls were called on both players (two different officials), no team fouls charged, and it was a jump ball. not sure how that works, but it was kind of cool. I couldn't say if it was a charge or a block or not. so the double foul was a good choice - esp. since a no call gives the advantage to the offensive player. I liked that the officials called it both ways and they were both right. unusual, but good.

marv albert's sartorial taste is poor. but his tonsorial taste is exceptional. looking very sharp in a custom pompadore (spelling?). he probably doesn't know how long it takes to do his hair, since he's never there when it happens. he just puts it on before game time, like a coat.

yao ming looks good in the game. his game has improved since he came into the league. he's not nearly as much of a stiff as he used to be. shaq is sitting this one out with a bad ankle so yao is having his way inside. zo mourning looks like he's past it. yao is taking it to him. damn, spin move under the basket for yao, and he knows he's got zo's number. if he plays like this all season he'll be the mvp.
and I'm spent.
