the hours i will never get back

there are hours, ungodly amounts of hours, that i will never get back. how did i spend these hours?

sitting on a couch.

watching basketball.

this is what afflicts me...

here's some good stuff from the yahoo basketball sports blog (which i really like). the best part? -- some of these jokes you would only get if you watched all of the ads and the between-the-timeouts-garbage during the agonizingly long 3 hour games. also, it's funnier if youve watched kobe doin work (ive watched...most of it)

the 2009 nba playoffs has been a ton of fun to watch. i've watched a lot of the games with clynton, just us posted up, somehow watching most of a marathon like game (having the dvr helps).

my fav moments/memories so far -- big baby hitting the game winner, courtney lee dunking on everyone, and anything the birdman does (dunks and blocks, preferably). what are yours?

i also included 3 photos at the bottom of that downhill race in england where they chase the big roll of cheese. i think it was in big shots in the boston globe recently, but i cant find the link now

from Too much Rod Benson: Amazing

"Now it's time for the NBA Finals and I wonder what craziness awaits? Maybe Jordan Farmar slaps Rafer Alston just because. Maybe Dwight Howard hits his first legendary game winner. Maybe it's a three.

Maybe Kobe misses Game 1 due to the shower he needs to take after LeBron's talcum powdered their whole house.

Maybe LeBron moves out of Kobe's house altogether and rents a copy of "Return of the King." He'll be back.

Maybe Spike Lee drops "J.J. Redick: Shootin' Treys." It follows him as he shoots treys in practice. It'd probably be as interesting as "Doin' Work" was.

Maybe a "Reggie's Mailbag" spot will be witty and funny."
