Not So Much...

So every morning I prepare for my post by looking through certain websites (I'm sure you can tell which ones based on the links I provide), this morning while doing my daily browsing looking for stories I couldn't come up with anything. Seriously, there isn't much to post about today. Did the world not do anything yesterday? I mean, I know that I didn't, but what about everyone else?

I did catch up on 24 last night. While I never will post spoilers on here, I must say that if you've never watched the show do yourself a favor and pick up the DVD's and plow through them. I wont' blame you for skipping season 6, but the other seasons are all fantastic.

I need your links! Seriously people, you can read the headlines that I post on here anywhere, but it's the funny videos, interesting stories, and witty blogs that help make this blog run. Feel free to send anything you find interesting in to me. I will post it and give you full credit. Send the links to 8hourstokill@gmail.com, it will make me happy when my BlackBerry blinks and tells me that I have new e-mails.

Tuesday Tidbits

-Dwayne Wade got silly in the final seconds of double overtime last night. His 3-point shot at the buzzer led El Heat past the Bulls in South Beach last night. El Heat were wearing Spanish themed jerseys last night. No bueno.

-Apparently, Roger Clemens used steroids. In other breaking news the sky is blue.

-As if Michael Vick hadn't fallen far enough, it now seems that his suburban Atlanta mansion can't sell at auction. Vick declared bankruptcy last year. The fate of the house will now be left up to a bankruptcy judge.

-If you can't beat 'em... well then you beat 'em. Apparently this was the motivational quote offered up by Lakers head coach, Phil Jackson last night in Portland. The Blazers led nearly from the start to the finish in this one, as they handed the Lakers their 3rd straight road loss.

-Surgery for Yankees slugger, Alex Rodriguez on Monday was a success. The doctor that preformed the surgery said it went exactly as planned, and A-Rod should be able to return to the Yankees lineup sometime in May.

-Bad news out of the Bull and Finch Pub in Boston.

-Speaking of great TV shows, who caught 24 last night? I don't want to post any spoilers here for fear of those who may not have watched it yet, but I really enjoyed last night's episode.


The Links
This would be the part of the daily entries where I post the links that you all send to me. Trust me if you find something worth watching or reading on the internet there are tons of other people who will feel the same way. Even if they don't they will watch it because we all have 8 Hours To Kill.

Weekend Update... Only Without Tina Fey

-The Suns overcame 49 points from Kobe Bryant and defeated the Lakers by 7 on Sunday. Shaquille O'Neal dropped 33 points in the game. It was the first time in nearly 5 years for Shaq to have back to back games of 30+ points. Not a good weekend for the Lakers who shot 29.8% from the floor in a loss Friday at Denver.

-The NBA has prohibited Dwayne Wade from wearing his new "band-Wade". Wade had been wearing a band-aid underneath his left since cutting it a few weeks ago.

-The Pistons had a great weekend on the road. They snapped an 8 game losing streak Friday at Orlando, and then handed the Celtics their first home loss to an Eastern Conference opponent this season. With Allen Iverson out with a bad back it has been a good weekend for Detroit Basketball.

-The New England Patriots traded franchise player, Matt Cassel to the Kansas City Chiefs. In return the Pats picked up KC's 2nd round draft pick. A lot of people are wondering if the Pats got enough in exchange for Cassel. Dan Wetzel at Yahoo! tells us that Belicheck is still sane. Peter King is wondering if did a favor for an old friend.

-Kyle Busch turned left better than anyone this weekend at his home track in Las Vegas.

-Two hours of the best show on TV tonight. Is it a coincidence that it also falls on my 24th birthday? I think not.

Tuesday Tidbits

-Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk. I don't know, I heard that somewhere. KU last night, pulled off an upset over number 3, Oklahoma in Norman. The Sooners were playing without Blake Griffin, and couldn't overcome Tyshawn Taylor's career high 26 points. This is a nice victory for Kansas, especially playing it on the road but you have to think that with Griffin not playing the win can't be as satisfying for the fans in Lawrence. By the way, I know WAY too many Jayhawk fans. I live in Utah for hell's sake.

-We all know that Tiger Woods will be returning at the Accenture Match Play Championships this week in Arizona. In this article Darren Rovell from CNBC.com we learn that Tiger will have a new sponsor on his golf bag for the season.

-Devin Harris made the shot of the year last night in East Rutherford to lead the Nets to a 98-96 win over the 76ers. I have always loved the last second shot in basketball, but this might be one of the best ever. For those that are wondering he did not travel. AI (part 2) knocked the ball loose, Harris recovered and shot-put in the winning basket. Unreal.

-Charles Barkley will serve 5 days in jail in Arizona's infamous Tent City,after pleading guilty to charges of drunken driving. After watching Barkley's apology last Thursday night on TNT, I couldn't help but appreciate his honesty, and I truly do believe he feels bad for what he did. I wonder how The Round Mound of Rebound will look in pink underwear.

-Jon Heyman gives us an update on all of the big name free-agents still left in Major League Baseball. Manny is going to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 26-30 million per season. It's just a matter of whether or not he and Scott Boras are willing to accept a deal for 2 years as opposed to the original 6 that they asked for.

-24 was solid last night. This season has been so much better than season 6. By the way, next Monday I turn 24. Is it any coincidence that there will be a special 2-hour showing of 24 on the same day? I think not.
