Shaquille O'Neal stars in reality series 'Shaq Life'

Shaquille O

Pro basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal is the star of a new reality series which covers all aspects of his life. The TNT original series premiers as back-to-back episodes tonight and is appropriately titled "Shaq Life".


The series will highlight his family life and his various interests outside of basketball, including his DJ Diesel persona, his business dealings (such as serving as a board member of Papa John's), and his collection hobbies and "toys".  The official trailer includes several quotes from O'Neal himself to give a glimpse of his personality:
  • "I have four championships. I have six kids. I come from a place where I had nothing, and just because I have more than the average guy doesn't mean I'm better than the average guy."
  • "I don't care who it is when it comes to competitions. Kids, babies - I never lose."
  • "At age 13, I believed I could be anything. I'm not gonna stop now."
"Shaq Life" promises to be a lot of fun.

SNL Classic: 'Happy Fun Ball'


One of our time favorite SNL parody commercials is "Happy Fun Ball". This originally aired back in 1991, featuring Dana Carvey, Mike Myers, Jan Hooks, and the voice of the late Phil Hartman.

The premise: Happy Fun Ball looks like your typical ball that you throw around and have fun with, until you read the "fine print" describing side effects such as:

  • Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.
  • Happy Fun Ball contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.
  • Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete.
  • If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, seek shelter immediately.  Seek shelter and cover head.
  • Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin.
  • Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.
  • Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.



The phrase "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball" is still our favorite after all these years.

March Madness 2020: 'One Shining Moment' Quarantine Edition

Brandon Gaudin March Madness 2020 Quarantine Edition

If life was normal, the 2020 NCAA men's basketball national championship would have been played tonight. One lucky team would have their "One Shining Moment". Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus spreading worldwide, the tournament was cancelled, along with the women's tournament and most professional and college sports.

It's disappointing that we won't get to see that postgame "One Shining Moment" video that follows the national championship game, but thanks to the brilliant mind of Brandon Gaudin, we can get a sampling of what it might have been like...and have a few laughs in the process.


Gaudin is a play-by-play broadcaster who (according to his LinkedIn profile) currently works for FOX Sports and provides voiceover talent for the EA Madden NFL video games. Gaudin has managed to capture all of the magic of March Madness in his "Quarantine Edition" of "One Shining Moment", where he enacts every scene himself.

It's all here. The mascots. The fans. The cheerleaders. The band. The coaches and their motivational speeches. The slam dunks. The long-range jumpers. The hustle plays. The upsets. The close calls. The locker room celebrations.

Of course, it's all played out on a low budget with a Little Tikes basket, but it represents the tournament pretty well. Gaudin's college T-shirt collection is impressive. His Final Four featured Kansas, Michigan State, Dayton and Florida State. It could have happened. We'll never know, and that's too bad.

Rob Gronkowski makes first appearance at WWE Smackdown

Rob Gronkowski with Mojo Rawley in first WWE Smackdown appearance 3/20/2020

Retired NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski made his first live appearance on WWE Smackdown Friday night at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

The arena was empty due to the coronavirus, but Gronk was still hyped as ever as he danced his way to the ring after being introduced by his friend Mojo Rawley. His dancing was certainly, umm, interesting.



Gronk was promoting his upcoming gig as host of Wrestlemania 36 on Saturday, April 4th and Sunday April 5th.



To sum up what followed, Gronkowski was rudely interrupted by King Corbin, who came into the ring and demanded that Gronk show him respect by getting down on his knees. Naturally, Gronk refused. Elias came out and sang a song ripping on Corbin. Corbin didn't like the song too much, but seemed to be more angry at Gronkowski for laughing at him. After getting in Gronk's face, Rawley snuck in behind Corbin and Gronk pushed Corbin over on his back.



Corbin tried to retaliate, but then Elias entered the ring, attacking him and tossing Corbin out of the ring.

Gronk said that he would advocate for a match between King Corbin and Elias at Wrestlemania. We shall see.

Top 2020 March Madness Contenders

As John Rothstein reminded us last week: This. Is. March.

We don’t need to elaborate on the importance of that in the college basketball world. Selection Sunday (March 15th) and the NCAA Tournament (March 17 – April 6) are right around the corner.

If you are a casual college hoops fan who hasn’t been following the season closely, here are the top ten teams that you need to know. They are listed in reverse order of their national championship odds.

#10 Florida State: +1800

The Semioles (26-5, 16-4 ACC) won the ACC regular-season title but only have the third-best odds in the conference, behind Duke and Louisville (spoiler alert). They don’t do anything exceptionally, but they do everything pretty damn well.

They would be higher on the list if they had more star power. Their leading scorer, Devin Vassell, averages just 12.7 PPG. Their best win was a 78-65 beatdown of Louisville in Kentucky. Their worst loss was the first game of the season, falling 63-61 at Pitt, a team that finished the year ranked 112th at KenPom.

#9 Louisville: +1600

The Cardinals (24-7, 15-5 ACC) started the year ranked first in a couple power polls, with many pundits predicting that junior wing Jordan Nwora would win Player of the Year. They have objectively had a worse season than the Seminoles, but have better odds because of (a) their preseason expectations, (b) their name brand, and (c) the love for coach Chris Mack in betting circles.

Their best win was a convincing 79-73 victory over Duke in Durham. Their worst loss was a non-competitive 77-62 shellacking at the hands of 73rd-ranked Clemson.

Most concerning for Mack, Nwora has failed to perform in many of the team’s biggest games this year.

#8 Duke: +1500

The third and final ACC team on this list is the omnipresent Blue Devils (25-6, 15-5 ACC). This year’s team is top-heavy with sophomore point guard Tre Jones and freshman center Vernon Carey leading the charge, but they aren’t deep and struggle defensively at times due to a lack of athleticism further down the roster.

Their best win was the first game of the season, when they edged now-#1 Kansas 68-66 at MSG. Their worst loss was a stunning 85-83 OT setback to Stephen F. Austin. That SFA team is a lot better than most realized at the time (now ranked 102 at KenPom). But still, Duke isn’t supposed to lose at home to low-majors.

#7 San Diego State: +1400

The Aztecs (30-2, 17-1 Mountain West) were the darlings of college basketball when they started the year 26-0. But they lost two of their final six – including getting stunned at the buzzer by Utah State in the MW title game:


Losing to Utah State on a neutral court shouldn’t cause too much concern, but their earlier loss at home to UNLV does. This team’s best wins both came back in November when they trounced Creighton (83-52) and Iowa (83-73) on back to back nights in the Las Vegas Invitational.

Depth is an issue here, just like with Duke. Malachi Flynn is a legit POY contender and Yanni Wetzell is a solid college big, but the elite talent thins out quickly after that.

#6 Michigan State: +1200

The Spartans (22-9, 14-6 Big Ten) were the top-ranked team in the preseason by most rankings and metrics. Senior guard Cassius Winston was the consensus preseason POY. He suffered personal tragedy early on when his brother committed suicide, and both he and the entire MSU team just didn’t look right in November . They sputtered to a 5-3 start, overall, and then started Big Ten play a mediocre 9-6.

But they enter the Big Ten tournament as winners of five straight, including dominant victories over Maryland and Ohio State, which have the second and third-best national championship odds among Big Ten teams.

#5 Kentucky: +1000

Kentucky (25-6, 15-3 SEC) is bit like Louisville. They are likely getting shorter odds than their resume deserves because of their name. Their best win was, like Duke, in their season opener when they beat an out-of-sorts Michigan State team on a neutral court.

They won the SEC title, but the conference is having a down year. Kentucky is the highest-ranked SEC team at KenPom at a lowly 28th. After that, it’s Florida and Auburn at 33rd and 34th.

The Wildcats undoubtedly have the worst loss among any team on this list. They were upset at home by Evansville back in November. Evansville finished the year 9-23 and ranked 297th out of 353 teams in terms of efficiency.

#4 Dayton: +1000

Dayton (29-2, 18-0 A10) ran roughshod over the A10 this year, thanks in large part to Player of the Year favorite Obi Toppin. Their only two losses both came in overtime on neutral courts. One was to top-ranked Kansas; the other was to a reasonably good Colorado team. Their best win was a double-digit neutral court victory over St. Mary’s (78-68).

While Toppin gets the headlines – deservedly – the Flyers are deeper than many realize. Jalen Crutcher is an excellent college point guard and an absolute assassin from deep (42.4% 3-pt FG Pct).

#3 Baylor: +950

Scott Drew’s Bears (26-4, 15-3 Big 12) were the #1 team in the nation until late February. Much like San Diego State, though, they limped to the finish. After winning 23 straight games from Nov. 15 to Feb. 18, they lost three of their last five.

Their best win was undoubtedly a 67-55 rout of Kansas in Lawrence. That game will likely go down as the best win any team has recorded all season. Their worst loss was a recent 75-72 setback at 82nd-ranked TCU.

The roster is somewhat like Florida State in that they lack star power, but they play exceptional defense and can light it up from three when they’re hot.

#2 Gonzaga: +900

The Zags (30-2, 15-1 WCC) reloaded with international players and grad transfers, per usual. This team bears no resemblance to the one that reached the Elite Eight last season. Led by 6'11" Serbian Filip Petrusev, oft-injured Frenchman Killian Tillie, and a hyper-deep stable of guards, Gonzaga recorded impressive wins over Arizona (away), Oregon (neutral), and arch-rival St. Mary’s (away) by 30 points.

Their only losses came to Michigan on a neutral when the Wolverines shot 12-23 from the three-point line and then at BYU (91-78), a team that finished the year ranked 13th at KenPom.

#1 Kansas: +600

The Jayhawks (28-3, 17-1 Big 12) had a few stumbles this year, losing to Duke in their opener and also getting blasted on their home court by Baylor in January. But they have won 16 straight entering the Big 12 tournament and look like the most-balanced team in the nation.

Up front, seven-footer Udoka Azubuike is arguably the most dominant force in college basketball. He’s paired with POY contender Devon Dotson at point guard. At full strength, this team has looked nearly unbeatable. (Dotson missed much of the Baylor loss with a hip injury.)

Their best win was a 64-61 payback victory at Baylor in late February. They also finished the regular season with a 66-62 road win at 21st-ranked Texas Tech.

Honorable Mention: About Half of the Big East

You may be asking yourself where Villanova and the rest of their Big East compatriots are. Great question. If this list went to 20, there would be four Big East teams on it. It is one of the deepest conferences in the nation this year, but none of the teams are considered elite.

Villanova (24-7, 13-5 BE), Seton Hall (21-9, 13-5 BE), and Creighton (24-7, 13-5 BE) shared the regular-season title. They are all ranked between 12th and 19th at KenPom, with Butler (22-9, 10-8 BE) coming in at 25th. They are all dangerous, and if one of the three co-champs also wins the conference tournament, that team will likely land a #2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Coach K featured in new Capital One commercials

Mike Krzyzewski stars in Capital One commercial

Duke Blue Devils men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski stars in a new set of commercials for Capital One that began airing on February 29th, just in time for March Madness 2020.

In the new 30-second ad, which also stars NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, actor Samuel L. Jackson, and director Spike Lee, Coach K is very impressed by the savings rate at Capital One, which claims to be 5 times the national average. As Barkley points out, Krzyzweski has won five NCAA championships at Duke. That would explain why Coach K thinks "5 times" is a big deal.


In the end, it would seem that Coach K gets a bit too excited and loses his head for a second:
"Five times? That's outstanding basketball...I mean, banking."
Of course, Coach K is just reading what's in the script, and we're sure that the paycheck he's getting for this ad makes it worth looking a little silly.

There's also a shortened version of the ad, which only takes 15 seconds and looks like this:

Astros, Knicks ridiculed on SNL Weekend Update

Michael Che with new Houston Astros mascot Cheatie the Camera 2/29/2020

The Houston Astros and New York Knicks were the targets of jokes during the Weekend Update segment of this week's episode of Saturday Night Live.

The new look for the Phillie Phanatic inspired SNL writers with an idea of a new mascot for the Houston Astros.

"The Philadelphia Phillies unveiled a new design for their team mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, while the Houston Astros have revealed their new mascot: Cheatie the Camera."
Seriously, the Houston Astros are cheaters and should have their 2017 World Series championship taken away, but MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred doesn't have the guts to do it.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been an embarrassment for two decades and continue to be an endless source of jokes.

"20,000 high school students in New York City got to see the cast of the Broadway hit 'To Kill a Mockingbird' performed at Madison Square Garden. And no surprise, the cast beat the Knicks by 25 points."

Knicks fans hold out hope that one day James Dolan will sell the team, but that's not happening anytime soon.

The new look for the Phillie Phanatic inspired SNL writers with an idea of a new mascot for the Houston Astros.

"The Philadelphia Phillies unveiled a new design for their team mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, while the Houston Astros have revealed their new mascot: Cheatie the Camera."
Seriously, the Houston Astros are cheaters and should have their 2017 World Series championship taken away, but MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred doesn't have the guts to do it.

Meanwhile, the New York Knicks have been an embarrassment for two decades and continue to be an endless source of jokes.

"20,000 high school students in New York City got to see the cast of the Broadway hit 'To Kill a Mockingbird' performed at Madison Square Garden. And no surprise, the cast beat the Knicks by 25 points."

Knicks fans hold out hope that one day James Dolan will sell the team, but that's not happening anytime soon.
