Wow... I can't remember the last time I saw someone fall to the floor after getting blocked.

And I've never seen it happen to Shaq.

I would hate to be Byung-Hyun Kim:

From The Sports Guy's mailbag:

Q: Where does the MTV show "Yo Momma" rank on the Unintentional Comedy Scale?
-- Eddie D., Charlotte, N.C.

The show itself ranks in the high 70s, Wilmer's hosting job ranks in the mid-90s, and the part when Wilmer says, "Dis is your show ... YO MAMMA!" and crosses his arms over his chest is a solid 100. That kills me. It's never NOT funny. TNT should have hired him and Jalen Rose as the sideline reporters for the Western Conference finals.

The one thing I love about sports is that no matter how many games you watch, things still happen that you've never seen before.

With the 2-hour season finale of 24 tonight, I thought this would be a good time to list my top 10 favorite quotes in 24 history:

There are no important spoilers.

1)
Tony Almeida:
Chloe, I'm gettin' real tired of your personality.

2)
Jack Bauer, on the phone with someone from CTU:
I'll be there in 10 minutes.

3)
Jack Bauer, while threatening someone.
Tell me where it is.
[Grabs the person by the shoulders and throws him/her against a wall.]
TELL ME WHERE IT IS!

4)
Chloe: I was unfairly harsh to you a few minutes ago, I didn't mean anything.
Spencer Wolf: All right. Apology accepted.
Chloe: It wasn't really an apology, it was more of an observation.

5)
Edgar Stiles: You're the best analyst we've got.
Chloe: I know.

6)
Bill Buchanan:
Chole, we don't have time for your personality disorder.

7)
[after George Mason has been exposed to radiation]
Paramedic: Take off your clothes.
George Mason: Aren't you going to buy me dinner first?

8)
Tony Almeida:
So, uh, what are we saying here? If we save LA from a nuclear bomb, then you and I can get together for dinner and a movie?

9)
Edgar Stiles: Maybe it's a delayed reaction kinda thing. Maybe you'll freak out about it in a few days.
Chloe: I hope so.

10)
Ramon Salazar, about Jack Bauer:
That man has more lives than a cat.

Thanks to the list of 24 quotes from imdb.com

Over the last few months, people have asked me about my shoulder.

I would often reply, "Good. I'm gonna be in rehab for a few more months."

But recently someone suggested that I avoid using the word "rehab" so that eavesdroppers don't think I'm addicted to drugs.

Haha... good idea.

Japanese people are weird.



Thanks James and Chongo, for the link.

Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert explore the dangers of not drinking responsibly:

The Daily Show's take on Laura Bush's speech at the 2005 White House Correspondents' Dinner:

About 4 minutes into the clip, Stephen Colbert talks about the "midnight show" and goes totally overboard. You've been warned...
