Denver goes up 3-0 on Dallas after controversial no-call
With six seconds left, Dallas Maverick's forward Antoine Wright fouled Carmelo Anthony. They had a foul to give. He fouled him, but it wasn't called. Realizing this, Carmelo Anthony continued play by hitting a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1.0 second left. Denver ended up winning and now have a stranglehold on the series. The foul was blatant. Wright reached in to swipe the ball and almost bumped Anthony out of bounds. But the referees who had called 61 fouls in the game up into that point, decided that it wasn't intentional enough. Is it that difficult to find competent officials for the NBA? The NBA has been criticized for years about their terrible officiating, yet they continue to trot out guys who would have a diffcult time calling a CYO game. I know that David Stern doesn't like Mark Cuban, but does he have to make his hatred for him so obvious.
Yankees lose to the Orioles 12-5
I do not want to talk about it.
Last night, Justin Timberlake appeared on Saturday Night Live for the (counting on fingers), thirtieth time. In the show, which runs for about an hour and a half, he sang for an hour. The SNL writers, which had three weeks to write quality comedic material, just made sure that Timberlake's ego was properly stroked. The whole episode was a Justin Timberlake comedy hour, minus the comedy. The audience was full of old N'SYNC fans who would cheer and scream if he picked his nose. Lines that were not funny were greeted with laughter and applause. It was rather self-serving.
I admit it, he is talented. He can sing, dance, and not forget his lines. But I can only take so much of him winking and pining for the camera. So Justin, take Jessica Biel and your millions, and go buy an island. Live there. Enjoy it. You don't need to dress up like a boob and do parody songs for a crappy skit show. By the way, the digital short was good (See above).
