I recently found myself on the same basketball court with a former NBA player at our Sunday open gym. This is not the norm. We typically have a few games going on at once and usually 1-2 college level athletes per team, the rest of the players are usually just focused on continuing their necessary breathing patterns. Justin, Chris, Andrew, Shawn and I showed up to play this past Sunday. As the first teams were taking the court, I noticed a guy with dark hair, about 6'5, walking onto the court. At first glance, I thought, he looks like he might be good. After his first shot, I told Justin that this guy looks like a thoroughbred (this is a lame term for someone who is great at their sport, commonly used in the 80's). Then the man came closer, and it was clear we were playing with the one and only "Sam Jacobson". Sam played 4 years at the University of MN, then played a few years in the NBA with the Lakers, Warriors, and Timberwolves. He never amounted to much in the league, but hey, he was in the league, and had a great college career.
So lets get to my first game against his team. We lost 11-0. I missed one shot and mostly tried to stay upright, but it was surreal playing against someone who was just so very great at the sport. It just looked so easy for him. His team won 4 games or so to keep the court. When they finally lost, a sulking Sam walked off the court, complaining about his teammates not moving to the right places. Keep in mind he had kept the court for 4 games and his non-pro athlete teammates were probably gassed. This pissed me off, not only because they had won 4 games in a row, but mostly because....It's open gym!!! If you care too much your a tool. If you care too little your a loser. This is the biggest obstacle to finding a good open gym to go to. Too much caring and you have fights. Too much the other way and you have a sloppy, waste of time, game. Obviously Sam hasn't mastered this tightrope in his 20+ years of organized bball.
I came away thinking Sam (whom I used to worship) is a dork. That might not be true, because I didn't talk to him, but he certainly didn't impress with his personality. Maybe when I play against a retired John Thomas down the road I'll be impressed with him. Below is a video of a Sam Jacobson dunk from an Italian pro league game last year. I think the music fits him yeah?
Update...After some thought, I realized I have played against a future/current NBA player. In 1993-94, our Minnewaska traveling bball team beat Joel Pryzbilla's Moticello Tigers in a 8th grade tournament in St. Cloud. There isn't really much to tell except he was already 6'9 and didn't seem to care about the outcome.

Boldly Going Nowhere? Really?
Great news for fans of "It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia"! The creators of the show have been greenlit production on a pilot for FOX titled “Boldly Going Nowhere” which will be a comedy about a spaceship captain’s boring life when he’s not on a mission, but will not be starring any of the "Sunny" cast.
This project will fail miserably because it's titled “Boldly Going Nowhere”, it’s about a space captain’s boring life when he’s not on a mission, and it will not be starring any of the “Sunny” cast. Apparently no one at FOX remembers “Homeboys In Outer Space”.
The great news is that the article claims that “It’s Always Sunny” has been renewed for a fourth season.
Here's a clip to soothe your Charlie rage until this Fall when Season Four premieres:
*Related Update: The geniuses behind Mr. Show are planning a pilot for HBO.

One Trick Pony
Is it just me and Josh C or is Jonah Hill starting to lose his luster? After viewing this week's SNL, I have to say that he was terrible! He seems to have no sketch comedy chops and I feel that his improve skills are only serviceable when the sketch is about acting stoned. "Superbad"and "Knocked Up" are great, but without the rest of the crew Jonah struggles worse than Brooke Shields does trying to cover up that she is actually a post-op tranny (see Lipstick Jungle).
Also, I feel that in "Superbad" he was kind of cute fat like Hamilton "the Babe" Porter in "The Sandlot" and now he's getting to be disgusting fat. I realize that he doesn't need to stay in shape for his career, but if he keeps it up, its gonna be Celebrity Fit Club in less than 5 years.
Your thoughts?

Hidden Gem in the rough??
Just wanted to let you all know about a new show on VH1 called "Free Radio." It is sidesplitting take the wind out hilarious. It stars Lance Krall, that those of you, whom are sweetness, will remember as Kip from "The Joe Schmo Show." It's a great find and is very accessible since VH1 will continuously replay it in various forms of marathons after "I love the 70's part 6."
Enjoy...

Undecided
I don't know how I feel about this.
I would love to hear some new material from Mitch, but it will be bittersweet. I used to read his widow's blog, but it could be so depressing I had to listen to Elliot Smith to cheer up.
It will be good to hear from my favorite comedian again, I just hope it honors his legacy and gives his family a final chance to spread his ingenuity and talent. Look for a review of the album in due time.

I claimed that I would only be posting to this blog about things people truly care about, and this post does not disappoint. According to Ain’t It Cool News, a fourth FAST AND THE FURIOUS film is in the works where Vin Diesel, Robot Paul Walker, and Ana Lucia will reprise their roles from the original film in an attempt at beating the world record for most brooding glances in 90 minutes and shittiest movie of all time.
I’m guessing it’ll either be titled 4 FAST 4 FURIOUS: REALLY FAST or FAST AND THE FURIOUS: BRATISLAVA DRIFT.
The unofficial poster tagline: This time around, the cars are totally faster than before, everyone is WAY more pissed off, and to beat the other drivers they now have to hit the nitrous button on their steering wheel six times each race! Whoa! [via]

They're Still Funny, Just Not Ha-Ha Funny
As Justin and I drove aimlessly about the metro area attempting to locate a Chinese buffet that Justin kinda’ sorta’ saw one time – conversation turned to my official review of the latest version of the ever-popular genre Will Ferrell Sports Comedy and Public Display of Unkempt Body. That review was exactly this: “Either I’m growing up, or those movies are getting more and more retarded.”
“I think you’re growing up,” replied Justin.
A genuine look of concern washed over my adorable face, “Oh, fuck!”
As a grown man who strongly believes that there are no other food groups besides chicken nuggets, I refused to let this be the case.
Further investigation revealed the problem is far deeper than the already forgotten basketball comedy (Which proves the theory of my other award winning essay Any Basketball Movie That Isn’t Space Jam Sucks: Piss Off Hoosiers Fans). The extremely unfunny truth to the matter is this: Comedy is broken.
It’s become an unfortunate tradition that the summer movie season unleashes an onslaught of movies with roman numerals behind their titles, however it appears that the summer of ’08 is breaking with that tradition. Aside from an aging archeologist and the role that finally took out Heath Ledger, sequels aren’t really on the menu.
Instead, we’re getting an onslaught of blockbuster comedies. Or, “comedies” as the case may be.
Here’s a sampling of what to expect:
Baby Mama
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
You Don’t Mess With the Zohan
Get Smart
The Love Guru
Step-Brothers
Laughed so hard you pooped yourself, right? I’ll wait for you to fetch a new pair of zubaz.
Don’t get me wrong, there are laughs to be had (Except for The Love Guru. That was painful. Seriously. That’s what rape must be like.) and any movie that involves a sex-montage with Kirsten Bell guarantee’s my seeing it six times, but we’ve fallen on hard times with the ha-ha’s.
While none of these movies are technically sequels, it’s still pretty hard to differentiate any of these movies from the ones that came before them. Instead of franchising a property like pirates, or boy wizards, or every super-hero ever, Hollywood’s began to franchise the comedian’s personalities.
The life of a modern-day comedian seems to go a little something like this:
Did you see that there’s a new movie with Jim Carrey/Adam Sandler/Mike Myers/Will Ferrell/Steve Carrell coming out? I don’t know if it’ll be good. I mean, they’re good on their TV show/their stand-up/their supporting role in the current hot comedian’s latest movie, but I don’t know if I can take Jim Carrey/Adam Sandler/Mike Myers/Will Ferrell/Steve Carrell for an entire movie.
CUT TO DIRECTLY AFTER THE MOVIE IS RELEASED:
Oh my God, Jim Carrey/Adam Sandler/Mike Myers/Will Ferrell/Steve Carrell is the funniest person alive! They are ten times funnier than Jim Carrey/Adam Sandler/Mike Myers/Will Ferrell/Steve Carrell!
CUT TO THE NEXT YEAR:
Dude, I am getting so sick of Jim Carrey/Adam Sandler/Mike Myers/Will Ferrell/Steve Carrell. It’s the same thing over and over again. It’s getting pretty old. Hey, did you see there’s a new movie with Jim Carrey/Adam Sandler/Mike Myers/Will Ferrell/Steve Carrell coming out? I don’t know if it’ll be good. I mean, they’re good on their TV show/with their stand-up/their supporting role in the current hot comedian’s latest movie, but I don’t know if I can take Jim Carrey/Adam Sandler/Mike Myers/Will Ferrell/Steve Carrell for an entire movie.
Hollywood enjoys taking someone or something that is genuinely funny and original at one point, diluting what made them funny in the first place by breaking them down to a crude caricature of themselves, using them as old French whore with her legs up for a couple of years, and, also like an old French whore, leaving them for dead of the side of a highway once their usefulness has dried up.
Then the comedians get all Bill Murray depressed and I get bored.
I predict a Comedy backlash this summer that’ll likely end the career of at least one of the current comedy titans, and all of these movies will have a roomful of fratties using a handful of catch-phrases, desperately trying to prove their relevance before they have to take over the family sporting good store.
Can comedy be fixed? Yes – there’s a very simple solution to this and every problem: Let me do everything.
Just kidding. Mostly. Hollywood is a very old machine that’s grown far too powerful to stop at this point, but hopefully there’s a small, under-the-radar movie lurking among the giants that we can enjoy for an hour and a half before it becomes the next big thing.

New Artist (sort of) Watch
Last week Liam Finn made his first network TV appearance on Letterman (he really gets going around the 4:00 mark).
You probably won't recognize Liam as 1/2 of the duet who sang "Two of Us" from the I Am Sam soundtrack (European version, what? you know you own it). The other half of the duet is his father, Neil Finn (of Crowded House). Speaking of I Am Sam.....It's getting dusty in here. Damn complicated father/daughter relationships.
Look for Liam (great name) to get big on the indie scene after SXSW this weekend. No doubt you'll be hearing his music on Grey's or any CW show very soon.

T.V. Badass Tourney
To spice things up a bit on The Car, I’ll be supplementing it with a weekly posting titled TV Badass Tournament. Each week, I’ll be pitting two TV Badasses against each other, and posting the results. This week’s contenders:
Horatio Caine from CSI: Miami vs. Renegade from Renegade. (I forgot Renegade’s name and internet search engines scare the shit out of me, so for all intensive purposes, his name is now Renegade.)
Renegade is television’s answer to Samson. His long flowing, majestic mane of man-hair is where he gets all his badass from. You shave his locks, and he’s worthless. Horatio gets all his power from his sunglasses and his expert use of dramatic pauses.
Example: Horatio Caine replied, “I’m going to kick...
(puts sunglasses on in a serious manner)
...the shit out of crime.” [Cue “Won’t Get Fooled Again” by The Who]
Results: Everyone knows Horatio is the strongest human being in the universe. Renegade puts up a strong fight, but the extreme gust of wind created when Horatio activates his sunglasses disintegrates Renegade’s face. No contest.

John Connor's Hot Mom Chronicles
The season finale of The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be airing on FOX tonight at 7pm CST and at 10am tomorrow in North Korea (I’m assuming Kim Jong Il is a fan). I’m the resident sci-fi nerd (but the cool kind of nerd that is super awesome and always says clever stuff) in my friend set, and I’ve been a fan of this series since the pilot episode.
Being a huge believer of judging bands by their name (if it doesn’t start with “The”, I won’t listen to it), and books by their cover, I gave Chronicles a bad start since it carries the worst title in television history. They should have just stuck with “Terminator” or “Awesome Future Robot Hot Girl Kick Ass Death Fire”. Who WOULDN’T watch a show titled that?
Aside from the shitty title, it also suffers from serious plot holes which tends to happen in any medium relating to time travel and robots and hot chicks who play time traveling robots and starring Brian Austin Green. This is of no concern for me, because let’s face it, who really cares? It is, after all, science FICTION, and if you’re going to tear apart the plot using the “that could never happen” approach, you should stick to watching shows with plots that could actually occur in real life. Like Prison Break.
So, if you enjoy hot girl robots from the future that honestly could have been cast using a hotter actress but is still kind of hot in that hot neighbor girl way, Brian Austin Green, and the original Terminator film, check this series out.

Justin Checks in..
Hi there,
I'm Justin. I like many things, but nothing more than TV. I will blog about sports, movies, books, some music, but mostly TV.
Here are some things about myself:
- I steal other peoples jokes
- Josh and JB will steal my jokes
- Fall TV Season is like my March Madness
- Actual March Madness is also my March Madness
- I own a bar with my brother, which I will reference frequently
- I am married to Alisha and I will frequently pawn her jokes off as mine
- I was a closet American Idol fan, but am now very public about my obsession
- I deal in absolutes, either something is the best or the worst, there is no middle ground
There are more things about me, but I can't think of them right now.
I just watched SNL from this past week and I have a couple things to say about it. I hate Fred Armisen, he's the worst! Can anyone be less funny? He is so annoying, and it seems all he can do is fake regional commercials in weird accents that are terrible. Speaking of people who are the worst. Is anyone worse than Darryl Hammond? No, the answer is no. He's the absolute worst. Nice impressions Darryl. All of his impressions sound like Darryl Hammond doing an impression. My favorite is when he does Darryl Hammond doing Donald Trump. He sucks royal. Speaking of sucking royal. Isn't Seth Myers the worst? Yep, he's the worst. He is Smuggy Smuggerson, the mayor of Smugwell. How does he get to be head writer? Plus he likes the Red Sox. Other than those D-rags, I like the cast. It has some shining moments and Jason Sudeakis (sp?) is hilarious.
Want to know what's the best? I'll tell you... LOST. It is the best, and now they are dealing with time travel! I called that Jeremy Davies, would be the best, and I was spot on, he rules.
One other observation...the Juno soundtrack is overrated. This is the same phenomenon as the Garden State soundtrack phenomenon. Somebody found some pretentious indie music that the majority of people haven't heard and put it in a mainstream movie and all of a sudden people think this kind of music is groundbreaking, well...it's not. Ask Jim, he has heard everything and this is not groundbreaking to him. As my cousin told me the other day, the Juno soundtrack is Raffi for adults. Let that sink in behind the rims of your thick black glasses, trendies!!
Oh yeah, Josh stole like 3 of my jokes in his blog yesterday.
Thanks for listening, look forward to American Idol breakdowns by Josh and I in the near future.

Josh Says Hello
Hello new blog.
My name is Josh. I’m one of the people that will be contributing pearls of wisdom and comedy into your pages which are really just a series of ones and zeroes.
It was my idea for all contributors to write a little intro piece as their first entry. I then ignored you for a week. What? I’m busy. And lazy. A rare combination of the two that, by god, gets shit done. Anyhow, here’s a few things about me:
I just moved back to Minneapolis from LA…for some reason.
I have a love/hate relationship with entertainment, as I can’t watch enough of it, but hate the attitudes and some of the people that go into the making of it. This is likely an extension of them not inviting me to sit at their table at lunch-time.
Sometimes I think the best way to meet women is to immediately pick a fight with them. I am currently single.
I have resolved to read a book a month in 2008, which is up from my previous record of one book about a boy wizard every two years. Thus far, I have kept up with this resolution by reading Steve Martin’s auto-biography in January, and The Ruins by Scott Smith in February. Both books were great, and only one is gonna’ be made into a movie. (At least in the next couple of months. The Steve Martin one will probably get the movie treatment once he kicks it.)
I used to claim I watched American Idol so I could make fun of it. I no longer feel the need to hide the fact that I’m genuinely concerned on which young clone of previous seasons’ contestants can or cannot blow. I pick and choose favorites, and hope beyond hope that they’re able to work it out.
I also firmly believe that current contestant Danny Noriega is actually popular actress Jessica Alba, in what will eventually be known as the greatest prank ever pulled on the American people ever.
I don’t give anyone’s movie review any credibility unless their opinion is some clever pun based on the title of the reviewed movie. Example, Semi-Pro? More like: I’d rather have a Pro run me over with his Semi than watch that movie again.
I believe those that speak with an accent are on some level faking it.
I Facebook and MySpace. I use both of those nouns as verbs. I also look to both for constant validation.
I currently have a phone that won’t allow me to dial out, text message, check any received text messages, access my menu, access my phonebook, access my missed calls, access my voice-mail, or access the screen. I’m like a caveman with the first cell phone. T-Mobile can suck it big-time.
So, there you have it John Voight’s car. That’s Josh. You got me.
Now what?

Sports Sports Sports...
"We don't care that much about sports!!! We. Just. Don't!" That's a little quote from Common Man, and I'm sure it rings true with a large protion of the real world. But, since I live in my own world, sports take on a large role. For instance, did you know it was possible to witness this in a 2008 NBA game?
I hope you enjoyed that, because the NY Knicks can only go on like this for a little while longer. Appreciate them now before they are gone.
So I will be blogging in Mr. John Voight's car about a few topics.
They are:
1. Sports
2. Stories from my life
3. Music and Television
4. Links from other blogs
I read a lot of blogs. So you will get links, pictures and videos from me as well. Creative writing? Not a chance.
I will continue with the occasional post on Mr. Poon, but for the most part, this is my new home.
