Gotta like a guy who simply doesn't give a shit. Loved that he mentioned the booksellers.

Only the Ohio State power play was worse than my picks. Alright, I was .500 on the night. Blech.

What was with the background music over the acceptance sppeches. Nasty. Insulting.

Loved loved loved the 'attack ads'

Bring Jon Stewart back next year. I damn near lost champagne out my nose when he made the dreidel crack.

Poor Lauren Bacall wasn't reading hte teleprompter well. I so wanted someone, anyone, to come out and help her.

George Clooney looked damn good in a tux, and made one nice accepting speech without going all michael moore.

The academy can suck Frances McDormand's dick, she was robbed!

I hate penguins now.

Kirby Puckett died of a stroke at the age of 44. He was one of the most energetic and best baseball players I've seen. He was a pinball that looked like a fire hydrant. He could play great defense, hit for power and run.

He helped his team win two championships. The noise level of the Metrodome was tremendous in those seasons.

Glaucoma ended his career early, then he lost the eye. A few years ago, he had some serious problems off the field. I hoped he was able to work his way throught them.

Now he's gone.

In an era where most of his teammates left the team to pursure more money, Kirby stayed loyal to his team, his city, and stayed. he could have easily gone anywhere f, but he chose to stay with The Twins. He had a lot of class as a player.

Rest in peace.
