"I do check the Weather Channel, because that determines my wardrobe. I hate it when they’re wrong. Last week I put on my leopard suit, went outside, and it was 63 degrees; I had to come back in and change."
Also, baseball happened! Here’s Logan Morrison looking like f**king Smeagol. The Yankees got really nicely photoshopped backdrops of Time Square, but the Marlins players were stuck with their school picture backgrounds. I guess they’re saving that for opening day, too.

I am enjoying reading about Marlins Park so much, guys.
David: Rex Ryan and Tebow having a meeting at McCormick and Schmick’s in Paramus is more than I can quite get my head around. Rex stuffing fistfuls of shrimp into his mouth and talking about motorcycles. Tebow quietly drinking a ginger ale and being like, “This is a little spicy. I think I should send this back, but maybe that’s just New York?”
Jeff: Sanchez breathing on the window, peeking in while standing on his girlfriend’s back.
David: “They’re having dip, Brandee!”

Oh, GRRM, just a schlubby guy from Bayonne at heart.
It’s sports/it’s frivolous/it’s a crazy business, but did it really have to end like this? ::sniff::
“He just said it was the point of no return. If he holds on much longer, we might never get out of this. We might be in a position where we didn’t make the playoffs, and he didn’t want that for us. He said as a team, we were talented enough to make the playoffs and make a run and that he really wasn’t getting through to us the way he wanted to.”
—Jared Jefferies about Coach D’Antoni in The New York Times
And as you conjure the image of Mike D’Antoni clinging to life, but letting go of your hand anyway so that you can ”save yourself!” you start to think of him endearingly.
SIGH.
Maybe deciding to follow the Knicks wasn’t one of my better decisions. It’ll be interesting to see what happens from here. On the other hand, do you know what was a *good decision?* Following Retta on twitter.

-Where’s brianvan with the DAT NOT GOOD?
-No competitive advantage? Actually, in some cases, there is. If you knock out the qb, chances are, it might be easier to win the game, given that most backup qbs are unprepared and flustered, etc. What if Kurt Warner had been knocked out in that game? Leinart time! I don’t think it would have gone so well. Had Peyton been knocked out of the Redskins/Colts game, I’m sure Sorgi would have come in and done an admirable job (I feel like Peyton’s anal enough to make sure his backup is sufficient [except for the Curtis Painter Situation, ‘cause boy did someone drop the ball on that one]). It’s not a guaranteed competitive advantage, but there’s a little advantage there, knocking out the qb.
-No 18-game season, please.
-Sorry, Rams (assuming the punishment for Williams is way harsh). Hopefully you can get some sweet picks after trading away #2.
Reblogging b/c part of this will be relevant to Scott & Tracy in a few years.
OH MAN. I don’t know whose fault this dispute is, but it’s always easier to blame Time Warner, so F You, Time Warner (not that I’m a fan of the Dolans). This is a game that I would like to see. I thought that Rubio would somehow find a way to weasel his way out of going to Minnesota, but he came, and he’s good, and that’s good for the Timberwolves.
No Mas!
Sorry to rain on all the “Linning”, “Linsanity”, or whatever clever phrase you have for Jeremy Lin’s four game run, but Ricky Rubio is going to eat his lunch tomorrow night.
Count. On. It.
