Saturday Night, Alive.
That’s the relieved statement of NBC executives about Betty White after she finished taping tonight’s show.
But you have to love Betty White. 88 years old and hosting SNL. She’s so old she can remember when the show was consistently funny.
(And she’s still funnier than about any host they’ve had this year! Anyone who’s reading this blog probably already saw the show, but if not, find it online. )
They are making a documentary about the Atlanta Hawks in round 2 of the NBA playoffs. The working title “Nights of the Living Dead.”

from Nick Coombs: Who thought we’d see the day the Sharks lasted longer in may than the NBC primetime lineup?

Tim Tebow’s jersey is the hottest selling in the NFL right now. Well, maybe this isn’t as unlikely as it sounds. Many people want to get on the “I told you so” bandwagon if Tebow actually surprises the critics and does well.
And if not, they can always use the jersey for target practice.

Brian Cushing, the Houston Texans linebacker who is the latest NFL player to be suspended for a failed drug test, says what he took was NOT a steroid.
In some ways, aren’t these denials, if true, even worse? If you’re not taking steroids that boost your performance and you’re still stupid enough to take something that is banned? Maybe some of these guys should pay at least enough attention in college to be able to read labels?

After Faisal Shahzad’s car bomb fizzled out and he was arrested on a plane at JFK airport, the Taliban is rethinking their terrorism efforts in New York. They are now considering renting billboards urging people to ride the Staten Island ferry.

The AP reported that Hugo Chavez is number one on Twitter in Venezuela. Either that or he is the number one twit in Venezuela. Not sure.

Eric Brynes was cut by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are still paying him $11 million for the year. He’s now signed up to play on a softball team sponsored by a Menlo Park bar, the Dutch Goose. Well, it’s not like he lowered himself so far as to play for the Baltimore Orioles

Good riddance to JaMarcus Russell. The biggest bust in the San Francisco Bay Area since Carol Doda. (Anyone under 30 going “huh?”, try google )

yikes, i remember Carol Doda, Scott Mackenzie too. Congrats to San Joesy Sharks, too bad they won’t be playing our fisheads. Is it true that if Tebow’s Horsehead jersey sales tail off, the NFL will ask him to change his name to Chad Uno Cinco to revitalize sales? Speaking of jersey upgrades, what about Foghorn Leghorn for the Sharks next opponents. I say I say. š

oops, my bad… Foghorn is the rooster, not the hawk, DUH! What bout a picture of Tiger Woods? Blackhawk, say it real fast 3 times. š

In Oakland, the A’s Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game. Ya know, years from now 100,000 empty seats will claim they saw it in person
So it was 27 up, 27 down, in Oakland on Sunday. And by that I’m describing the entire attendance during the seventh inning stretch.
