Geoff's Day Off

Since I haven't had a day off in about 3 months where my joints weren't aching to the point that cutting off my legs was a serious consideration, I decided that today I would not go to my office. Rather, I would watch a ton of college basketball in the afternoon and root for several upsets (check), take a nice walk outside with my dog (check), watch the Rangers beat the snot out of the Flyers (upcoming) and then enjoy more college basketball (upcoming).

Things to do tonight, if you aren't me and want to leave your TV:

1) Go to Family Hour at Ochi's Lounge. This is the last Friday night there for Family Hour. Next week, they'll be moving to Thursdays.

2) Go to Don't Touch Me There at Piano's. This looks to be a fun night of comedy, in the vain of the Comedians of Comedy.

To be fair, any other Friday night, I'd have a hard fucking time choosing between which one of these I'd go to.

I've Been Laughing For 12 Hours

My five favorite things about Super Bowl XLII:

1. This article. Heh heh.

2. Junior Seau and Randy Moss being denied their first championship ring. Particularly Seau, who I absolutely cannot stand and couldn't get enough of the pictures of him on the sideline, dejected, as he realizes his 18-year career means dick without his championship ring.

3. This shirt.

4. The $750 that I won because the Giants win made the money line payout at 4 1/2 to 1, plus the practically gimme bet of the Giants +11 1/2 parlayed with the under that paid about 2 1/2 to 1.

5. All being right with the world as a Boston team choked down the stretch.

Tedy Bruschi Has A Borderline Criminal Obsession With Hummel Figurines

And he won't play with anyone else. He only plays with himself.

Tom Brady Has A Tiny Pecker

I've decided that for each of the next 4 days (until the Super Bowl) that I'm going to put up a minimum of two posts a day that takes a completely unwarranted shot at someone on the New England Patriots.

Urine Trouble

When I was in college, I had an idea for a line of diapers marketed to college kids. Everywhere that there's a public restroom, there's a line. If you wore a diaper when you went out, you could just relieve yourself and keep on drinkin'/rockin'/watchin' the game or whatever active verb applies to the particular activity that you're participating in, be it night out, concert or sporting event.

At least this guy would have been able to keep his job.

The Scooter Has Scooted

Phil Rizzuto has passed away at the age of 89.

There are tons and tons of stories about what a character Phil Rizzuto was. But to this day when I'm keeping score at a ballgame (I always keep score), when I get up to get a hot dog or glance away from the action and miss something, I always put "WW" into the scorebox like Phil did. I learned to keep score with him on the air.

How about when the Pope died in 1978, and Phil announced to the home audience, "Pope John Paul I is dead. Sure puts a damper on a Yankee win?"

Or when he was giving his Hall of Fame induction speech and he stopped in the middle of his speech to ask former broadcast partner and president of the National League Bill White to help him remember a word?

He was the king of unintentional comedy. And a total character. He'll be missed.
