Was Pac-Man In Town Last Night?

Dam You Pac-Man!! Who else to blame for "Making It Rain," last night in Shreveport-Bossier? I haven't been surrounded by that much wetness since guzzling 3 Yoohoo's before bedtime in the third grade. In addition to spotting a Porsche-Raft, Tuesday night was memorable for me because of my spin as a "news-dude".

Yes, I volunteered to take off my sportscaster jock for a news-reporter toupee'. And I might have gotten away with it, if not for the rather un-newsman-like wardrobe. Oh, sure... it would have been easy to stand before the camera in a handsome Joseph Abboud suit. But the "Gonzaga" T-Shirt adds a sense of... I don't know... homelessness (?) to the mix.

On with the linkage... I can't stand
the Red Sox (apologies to Dr. John and Scott Ferrell)
but this play, highlighted by
Manny Ramirez' interaction with a front-row fan,
is, in a word: stupendous.

It's over. No not the WNBA Season---the gals hit the hardwood for real this Saturday (note to self: get Tivo fixed by the weekend). What I'm lamenting is the love-lost between Romessica. Jessicony. SimpsoRomo. She says at the forefront of her relationship with the Blue Stars QB, she "... thought I had to be more intellectual". Oooohhh Kaaaay. More intellectual than... a bottlecap? An Aussie on a beer run?

Speaking of barley and hops, Lofa (My Stretch Marks) Tatupu had a few too many, leading to an embarrassing situation. AND he got nabbed for DUI.

Fletch, I just want to say job well done as you moved to the darkside! Edward R. Murrow would have been proud.

My only complaint is that your looked like a geisha in your stand ups. I think you need to find a new photographer.

Enjoyed our hunt for the Porsche. I'll work with you any day. Let's just make sure we don't get stuck with that same photographer.

Manny's catch and high-five in one motion was the best thing he's ever dont in the outfield.

Oh, thanks for your help in the field, Fletch. You da man!
