Morning Brew for 12/15

Let's just pretend that this never happened last night. Let's get on with today's brew...

-The nominees for the 67th Annual Golden Globe awards were announced this morning. Some of my favorites are mixed in. Jeremy Piven is nominated for best supporting actor for his role as Ari Gold on Entourage, which was also nominated for Best Comedy along with The Office. The award show will take place on January 16th.

-Speaking of Golden Globe nominees, the nominee for Best Comedy Movie, The Hangover was released today on DVD. Just do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. It's the best movie of the year, no questions asked.

-Two Wisconsin women received plea deals for charges of super gluing a cheating man's penis to his stomach. Neither woman will spend any time in jail. You know, sometimes the jokes just write themselves.

-In an attempt to prevent anyone who isn't a UNC fan from having any fun, Tar Heels head coach Roy Williams had an opposing fan ejected from a recent North Carolina home game against Presbyterian College. Apparently the fan stood up and cheered for Deon Thompson to miss a free throw which angered the all mighty coach. Numerous reports suggest that the fan, Brian King, did not use any profanities or say anything vulgar, but the thought of someone rooting against the Baby Blue was too much for Williams to handle as he immediately had security remove the fan. Give me a break.

-ESPN has put together their list of the top 25 games of the decade. The slide show highlights some of the most compelling games of the decade. This is a must look for any sports fan. Some great moments indeed.

Morning Brew for 11/6

-While most of the news items that I post on here inspire some sort of joke, there is nothing funny about the tragedy that took place at Fort Hood yesterday. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is accused of opening fire at a military processing center, killing 13 people. Despite early reports that the Hasan was shot and killed, he is in stable condition. My thoughts are with all those at Fort Hood.

-The two Northwest Airlines pilots who over shot the Minneapolis International Airport by 150 miles, have appealed their license revocations with the National Transportation Safety Board. Hopefully the NTSB will exercise a little common sense and keep these two idiots out of the air.

-In a related story US Airways pilot Chesley Sullenberger has been named as the Grand Marshall of the 2010 Tournament of Roses Parade. "Sully" is of course known for helping save the passengers of a US Airways flight that was forced to land in the Hudson River shortly after take off earlier this year. This year's theme for the parade is "A Cut Above the Rest". Certainly they made a great choice for Grand Marshall.

-Remember The Office episode where Michael tries to check Meredith into rehab against her will? Well if Dunder-Mifflin was in Alaska, that wouldn't be a problem. The state has adopted a law that will keep alcoholics for 48 hours before deciding if they are sober enough to be released. Something tells me this could be a great fraternity joke.

-Wednesday November, 11th is Veterans Day. To help honor those who have defended our freedom, many restaurants are providing free meals to veterans. Kudos to all the different restaurants that are participating in this program.

-Just hours after leading the Yankees to their 27th World Championship, manager Joe Girardi helped flagged down help after being the first person to come across a car accident on his drive home. According to reports Girardi put himself in some danger by running across the parkway near a blind curve where drivers apparently reach speeds of 80 MPH. Good for him for doing the right thing.

I'm on a plane this afternoon bound for Las Vegas. Hopefully we will have time to get the Moron of the Week posted. If not make sure to check out the Twitter Account for new links throughout the day.

I figured I had to post this just to keep my wife, and my mother happy. So here you go...
