Wandering Mind

This was going to be a continuation of my ego list.  It started out that way, but kind of turned into a stream of consciousness rant on different things.  As such, I removed the numbering, as I don’t want to confuse anyone.

• I believe that Jim Crews is the worst coach in college in basketball.  I don’t think any human being has spent more time blankly staring at scoreboards during timeouts than Jimbo.  I can’t believe Army hasn’t fired him yet.  That said, the folks on the Army message boards are finally starting to lose some patience with him, as you can see here.  I’ve also had my comments on my Sports Blog (http://derekknowssports.blogspot.com/2006/03/its-official-crews-sucks.html).


• I can probably sing most of the words, or at least the refrains, of most top-40 songs from the 80’s, and an awful lot of songs that didn’t make it that far.  Of course, I use the word “sing” loosely.


• I think I like early rap because it didn’t involve singing.


• Hey, this just hit me, but if American Idol can get good ratings showing all the folks that audition and can’t sing, I wonder if I could get a weekly show that features my unique song stylings of various songs.  It would be like watching VH1 Classic, but with at combination of William Hung, Al Yankovic, and bad karaoke.  Leslie Nielson could host, and we could invite the actual artists.  Not that they’d show up, unless the band was planning a reunion tour.


• I’m afraid that when I retire, Bono is going to move into my neighborhood and gripe about EVERYTHING.  Then a band of us residents will conspire to get him thrown out of the area, only to be foiled when he gets national media coverage to help him stay.  It could happen.


• SportsCenter hasn’t been the same since Keith Olbermann left for MSNBC.


• I’m afraid if you put Jim (Crissy) Rome and Steven A(hole) Smith in the same room, it might turn everyone within a 100 mile radius into extremely loud (and dumb) zombies.  This must not be allowed to occur.  Ever.  Seriously.

It’s time for bed.  See y’all later.
