Assorted Items

So I came across a few different items that are worthy of mention today, and decided to share with the two people who read my foolish commentaries:

--> The creators of the amazing FX sensation "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" sent a pilot for a new show to Fox, and the Fox execs said it "completely leapt out of the pile" of pilots. They've already been asked for five more scripts. Of course, I know nothing about television production, but it certainly sounds like good news, and if they can make it 1/4 as funny as "Sunny", it ought to be a great show.

--> This may be one of the most horribly insensitive sports-related stories I've heard in a while. I don't know what else to say about it.

--> In lighter news, it's a huge game for the Celtics tonight, who have a chance to end the Rockets' insane 22 game winning streak on national television. Of course, Boston fans are not complete homers when asked who's going to win, not according to this fair and balanced poll (scroll down).

--> Finally, I can't remember how I first learned of the Dugout, but I can't imagine life without it anymore, sad as that is. Ever since AOL Fanhouse offered the Dugout guys money to put it on their site, it hasn't been as funny, mostly due to lack of cursing, but this Colorado Rockies season preview is one of the best of the new era.

I guess that's all...
