After running the video production board through two presentations today, I have newfound respect for Sports Night. The fact that they were able to keep everything together on a live show was amazing (even if it was fictional, it certainly mirrored actual live television). We made our first mistake about 10 seconds into the presentation. Thankfully everything smoothed out quickly.
The new Red Roof Inn commercials have practically guaranteed that I won't stay there.
Well, last night was a night where a Pittsburgh Penguins fan simply hopes the rink implodes. Philadelphia vs. the NY Rangers. And, in a nice bizarro universe, the Rangers have managed to make it into the playoffs for the first time this century.
The race in the East is close to being set. Atlanta in 9th is 7 points out. That's 4 straight wins with no wins by Tampa Bay. That's pretty hard to come by this time of year. I haven't checked the west recently, but I'll probably have some time later this week to break things down when all 16 places are set and make some of my famously horrible picks. With hockey I usually end up picking with my heart and not my head. That's why I'm so terrible at fantasy hockey. I was even horrible at the stiffs league that I was in one year.
And, even though it means relatively little to us, it's great to see Brodeur torched for a goal 27 seconds into the game.
