Don't get me wrong, John Ireland has been great for the Lakers all these years: As a sideline reporter and co-host of the Mason and Ireland show. But as a play by play analyst he is not. I gave him many chances, but he just doesn't sound right as a play by play announcer. He sounds more like a typical fan that is trying to call a game with yells that only a fan would make at home or at the bar. What really ticked me off are his continuous usage of phrases from the great Chick Hearn.

Transformers 2 - people are being too critical about the movie
Checking out the reviews on Yahoo:
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809943432/user
I noticed some people kept saying that there is TOO MUCH ACTION for a 2 and half hour movie. But people please - you are going to an ACTION Movie. How can you have too MUCH ACTION!? Did they expect a story line that would get an Oscar or something? Because I never heard anybody be so critical of any of the previous Michael Bay movies before, why start now.
Magic Johnson picking Denver Nuggets over Los Angeles Lakers on May 23, 2009
Magic Johnson in the pre-game show predicted the Denver Nuggets to win the game on May 23rd 2009. The same Magic Ervin Johnson that is a Laker Legend. I do not care if you think Denver will win, if you are Ervin freaking Magic Johnson of the Lakers you just do not pick the current enemy the Denver freaking Nuggets. Fortunately the Lakers won and made Magic eat his words.
Why the heck do women like the show The Bachelor?
Ok its been days since reality TV show The Bachelor ended but I can't help thinking why this show is so fascinating to women and why women keep thinking that the Bachelor himself is so handsome and dreamy?
I mean this guy is dating 30 women at the same time! This guy is kissing 30 girls at the same time, cheating on them! And when he kicks them off the show one by one most of the girls cry and think its THEIR FAULT!!?
I mean this is as degrading as a show for women that it can get.
