So I’ve decided to stop updating this thing. I still follow the Phillies, Sixers, entertainment and mindless crap, but I simply can’t update in a timely enough manner to make it interesting or worthwhile for others.  There are plenty of blogs where I will continue to get my info and laughs (read: click on the links on the right and on the links page).

However, I will be updating my other blog with another somewhat lame title, I’m So Bored This Actually Became Interesting.  It’s a good dumping ground for mindless entertainment, and I may post the occasional sports topic as well. So check it out in your spare time and thanks so much for reading this spot over the years.

And I still have my twitter feed at twitter.com/hugetinymistake

I bow to your greatness, sir.

Stay classy, Conan. I’ll be there wherever you may surface.

And the great performance of ‘Long May You Run’ …to Fox

So NBC really gave Conan a big shot.  While Conan O’Brien’s new Tonight Show has had a decline in ratings, NBC has been working behind the scenes to complete sabotage Conan’s show by moving it to 12:05 and moving the amazing Jay Leno Show to 11:35.  This would reward Leno for his horrible ratings, shtick and show, and punish Conan for doing an admirable job. Makes complete sense!

What to do?  Conan now has the option to leave NBC or accept their terms.  Personally, I’d prefer he move to another network, but would he be willing to go out on the market?  ABC has invested in Jimmy Kimmel, but previously showed a willingness to go after David Letterman when his contract was up.  While Conan is not on Letterman’s level, he has cache and hits key demographic targets.  Plus, he’s just good.  A combinaton of Kimmel and O’Brien would instantly crush Leno/Jimmy Fallon in the talent department, and certainly work well against Letterman/Carig Ferguson.

Or he could go to FOX and make it a four-way battle.  While fun for us viewers, this would be crazy and someone would almost certainly be crushed in the end. I’ll support Conan no matter where he goes, and I can’t hate Jay Leno the person, but I can certainly despise the way NBC handled their late-night lineup.  First they get rid of five hours of programming to have more people talking on chairs and couches, and now that it isn’t working they’re making O’Brien’s Tonight Show the scapegoat.

Cada’s win proves several things.  It proves his own self-worth.  It proves that sometimes luck conquers all…and it proves that nice guys can get rewarded. Rewarded with 8.55 million dollars, that is.  While Phil Ivey may get a ton of the coverage tonight, Cada will get the cash.

Ivey, for his efforts, played very well under the circumstances.  If an allin with Cada which turned out to be a coinflip went his way instead of Cada’s, he’s have had almost 25 million in chips nine-handed and Cada would’ve been gone.  This is tournament poker, where luck tends to decide what happens after skill exits the door.  Instead, Ivey lost that flip and became short-stacked, forced to slowly grind his way back up gathering one blind after another orbit after orbit.  He accomplished that and then lost AK allin against Moon’s AQ.  Such is poker, where the best player often doesn’t win.  No worries for Ivey though, as he almost instantly jumped into the high-stakes on Full Tilt Poker.  Poker fans may not get their Ivey victory, but they’ll enjoy it while he lasts.  The man can console himself with the two other bracelets he won this year and the millions and millions of dollars already in his bank accounts.

Watch tonight on ESPN.
