Sports Weekend

It was quite a packed weekend with another wild NFL weekend, two MMA shows and an almost forgotten TNA pay-per-view show. On the NFL front, Hollywood Nations's favorite team, the Rams, won to take their record to 6-6. Six wins! Who could have dreamed of this during the Linehan Era? I think we should stop the season right now. Props to Jonathan Brookins, who looks like the nicest guy to ever win the title of Ultimate Fighter. The Strikeforce show on Showtime was really good and featured three straight bouts were dudes just got knocked the F out. Dudes were falling forward on their faces like Ric Flair. It was quite a night.

Don't Mess With Vickie

Check out this clip of WWE NXT (at the 1:30 mark) from a couple of weeks ago where Vickie Guerrero cracks on her smart-ass rookie during a Newlywed Game-style competition:

If I ever get married, it's gotta be like this:

News and Notes

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I only had one plate, but it could have fed a third world country for about a week. I'm taking it easy today, but here's some thoughts on things the last couple of days:

- Dancing with the Stars Finale: What a dreadful two hours. An hour and thirty minutes of filler plus the giant-headed Bristol Palin moping around the dancefloor yet again (and still getting scored higher than Kyle by that shithead judge in the middle) made for an agonizing show. In the end, the right person won (although Brandy would have given Jennifer Grey a run for her money) and Bristol gets to drive five hours back to Alaska in her truck, where she can use her newfound dance skills at the Wasilla Scores.

- New Release Monday: Picked up the new CDs by Kanye West and Nicki Minaj. These are must-have discs! Awesome lyrics and tremendous production work. You won't be sorry you bought these! (I haven't listened to them yet).

- Juan Cena: Despite WWE's storyline where John Cena was fired, local shows are advertising appearances by John Cena's Mexican cousin "Juan Cena". Ridiculous; they're starting to make TNA's writing team look like the writers of CSI.

That's all for now. Gotta catch the rest of this Good Times/Sanford and Son marathon on TV Land.

Your New World Champion

Congratulations to The Miz, who was crowned the new champion WWE Champion after cashing in the Money in the Bank briefcase and beating Randy Orton last night on Raw. I have to give props because this guy went from being a totally inept scrub to going to the top of the mountain. I never would have seen this day coming back when he was flubbing lines on the Diva Search segments. Good job!

AMAs on FF

I recorded the American Music Awards on the DVR and watched it on fast forward for the most part. It seemed pretty tame. Has the Taylor Swift backlash started yet? I seemed to fast forward just a little more when she was on. I stopped a bit for Rihanna, Katy Perry and Usher. The performance of the night (at least what I saw of it) was Christina Aguilera. I knew it wouldn't be too long before the clothes were off again. Good marketing. The show finale at the end was pretty funny with Backstreet and New Kids giving a preview of their upcoming tour. I guess next Color Me Badd and N'Sync will hit the road together.

DWTS Rant

What a mess on Dancing with the Stars last night. Poor Brandy, the best dancer of the whole season, got cut and the slow-motion, charisma-challenged Bristol Palin survived yet another week. The fun got taken out of the show like a balloon with a hole in it. I don't know if I will even bother to watch the finals next week. Who wants to see them put the crown on Bristol's giant head? I'd rather watch something with more integrity, like pro wrestling. Plus if I have to see that clip of Bristol sticking her tongue out and playing air guitar one more time, I might get sick.
