While Michael Wilbon is pissing the world off and San Antonio residents try to figure out where to watch the Cowboys Packers game, I’ll be hanging out at home with my son watching Shrek The Halls.
I’m a huge Shrek fan. I liked the first movie so much that I thought it was the best movie to come out that year…animated or not. I don’t think I was alone. The Academy Award for Best Animated Feature was introduced in 2001…the same year Shrek was released. Coincidence? You can’t give an animated picture Best Film, can you?
The best thing about it is there aren’t any voicealikes in it. It’s the original “cast” of characters. It starts at 7:00pm CST.

On June 15th, Bob Barker’s farewell episode on The Price Is Right was aired. I can remember watching TPIR religiously as a kid. Ok…and in college. I even played a man obsessed with The Price Is Right in a Spoof of The Office video me and some friends produced for a company awards banquet. My favorite game was by far Cliff Hangers. No real reason other than I just thought the yodel song was kinda funny. I think Ed Lau might be obsessed with TPIR too. He beat me to the “Fairwell, Bob” punch.
What would you do if you had a chance to get on The Price Is Right? Philip Barrett waited 5 days in line to get into the show. At first, I couldn’t stand his disturbing Elijah Wood-like smile but I quickly warmed up to the guy after he kept getting slammed.
Canadian contestant, Dean Lindstrom takes a spill (video) on his way, but ends up with one of 76 cars given away. Anyway, in case you missed the finale, here are the first and second halves of the show for your viewing pleasure!
Part 1: The Price Is Right Finale
Part 2: The Price Is Right Finale
And, of course, who can forget Bob Barker’s brawl with Adam Sandler on Happy Gilmore? This segment was aired on May 17, 2007 during his 50 years in television special.
And if Rosie O’Donell replaces Bob Barker as the TPIR host, I’ll never watch it again. On the bright side, maybe Adam Sandler can arrange to punch her lights out in a movie…but do it for real. Oh well.
FAREWELL, BOB! YOU WILL BE MISSED!

I literally just walked in the door about 10 minutes ago from my weekend of fishing, which was a blast…even though we only caught 6 fish: 2 trout and 4 redfish. The outing was part of a fishing tournament called Casting For Kids, which benefits Youth in Agriculture. Although it was a slow day as far as fish are concerned, we enjoyed some sun, a few beers, and some laughs. My redfish measured 24″. Not huge, but the largest of the day.
The Sopranos
Speaking of fishes…a few quick predictions from me regarding tonight’s finale. Tony lives. Sil, although mezza morta, pulls through. And Paulie is a two-faced sonvabitch — OHHHHHHHH!!! — and gets whacked by his successor, Carlo. Phil and his jamook little friend, Butch, will sleep with the fishes (who else can’t stand Butch…raise your hand). In the end, what is left of the Soprano family will hit up Artie at Vesuvios for some gabagool…and Meadow will start dancing at the Bing.
Spurs vs. Cavs
Spurs will whack the Cavs tonight despite a better performance by LeBron. Enough said.

Apparently NBC has created a new benchmark in broadcasting…and it wasn’t on an NBC channel. If you saw last week’s episode of SNL with Justin Timberlake as the host, you laughed your @$$ off at this video. Prepare to laugh harder. I’m a huge SNL fan…mainly of the older cast stuff. I put this episode up there with any of the Alec Baldwin episodes, which is saying alot for me. It’s no Bill Brasky or Russell & Tate, but over 1 million YouTube viewers watched this UNCENSORED version of the skit in just 4 days of being added. And by posting this version of the skit on YouTube, NBC has figured out a way to get past the censors that keep it from being really, really funny. I present to you…
