So who out there really thought Smarty Jones would win the elusive Triple Crown? Okay, that would be almost all of you. Some of us were skeptics, and rightfully so. Every few years, when a horse wins the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, NBC goes into publicity overload to convince us that this plucky steed will be the best damn horsey since Secretariat and dammit, you're not an American unless you tune in for an hour and a half of filler about the jockey and the stables and turds that make this animal a champion. And wouldn't you know it? Smarty Jones didn't have the love jones to go all the way.

So I don't have too much witty sports knowledge here but seeing as how I was spoonfeed on the Red Wings until I finally moved out to NYC at age 21(so yeah that was the peaking era of Hockeytown) well I've got enough emotion and input to dish out a little bitterness, smartassness and banter(the hat trick if you will).

Los Angeles is shell shocked, and as of this posting, in about ten minutes, the city will collectively unite behind the jaundiced jerseys of Shaq, Kobe, and the crew for game 2 of the NBA Finals. After Sunday's "surprise" upset, Angelenos don't know what to do with themselves. They're walking in stupors. They're running into walls. They're crying in bathroom stalls. And they're driving erratically (oh, sorry, that's normal). "Oh, how on Earth can this happen?" they ask. "After my twelve days of dedication to this team, how can they disappoint me now??" Well, fairweather fans, it's time to snap out of it. Your boys aren't as great as Jack Nicholson would have you believe. Would you be shocked if I told you Kobe was felled by a kitchen knife this season? Yes, it's true. The Lakers are fallible, and by the way, the Pistons are actually pretty good.

"Oh My!" exclaimed Doc Rivers when the cameras focused on Sharon Stone at last night's NBA Finals game. With hair vertically inspired, Sharon's 'do clearly distracted the Pistons, causing them to lose in a critical overtime situation. "Looks like she got her hair cut by Ben Wallace" mocked Al Michaels. Hey, this guy ain't so bad after all...

"Are the blue ones the Lakers?"

The rumors for the most part are true. I am pretty much a heartless bastard. During the "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring", I shushed a couple of 9 year old girls who were crying because Gandalf had just "died". After the movie, as I noticed the two girls still sobbing, I growled "Read the book! He comes back!" Even with my heart of stone, there are a few things that will even bring me to tears (or at least get me choked up). As the Olympics are once again about to fall upon us, I thought I would share one memory that brought back memories of what the Olympics mean to me.

Hoops is definitely getting it started this year, and by that I mean the sheer drama that perhaps the Lakers weren't so prepared for, it seems. Game one @ Staples saw the infamous and oh-so cocky California boys go down, crumble and lose clutch of the BIG W to my D-town homies. Game 2 witnessed a near repeat until Kobe clinched OT with his phenomenal 3 pointer in the last 2 seconds of the game. The next 3 games will be hashed out at the Palace where the Pistons and former Bad Boys will have reign of the court and this soap operaesque series will rage on. Time to be seated, please buckle your seatbelts ladies and gents...it is going to be a bumpy ride.

Game 3 saw the supposedly fearless Fab Four growing ever more frustrated and flustered with each and every shot , block and assist the Pistons acquired. The Bad Boys were lighting up in Auburn Hills on Thrusday, the crowd cheering, and a lone famous face of MR. Sergi Federov(Red Wing Legend) nearly cracked a smile with the 20 pt victory his homies were able to acheive. I'dpersonally like to give a major holla to Hamy(aka: Richard Hamilton) who regined the courtin Game 3 with an amazing 31 points and 3 assists....this masked man is one brilliant balller. I would love to be democratic and give a few props to the Lakers but sometimes the truth hurts and to be honest they just utterly SUCKED and if they don't up their charisma and drop their attitudes then the finals may be wrapping up in D-town sooner than we think.

Turns out I'm not an insensitive prick. See, I wouldn't go around stealing foul balls from four year-old kids. But turns out that someone else would. A balding jerk at a Rangers/Cardinals baseball game this weekend nabbed a wayward ball from the feet of a little kid. The crowd booed, the fan gave them the "fuck you" face, and the sportscaster called him "the biggest jerk in the stadium". But at the end of the day, the kid left with a signed Nolan Ryan ball and a bat, among other things, so all was well in the world of baseball.

To find out more, check out the article at St. Louis Today.

They stayed Alive in Five and clenched what originally seemed an utterly impossible victory against the infamous(perhaps soon to be not so spectacular) LA Lakers. Last night in the Palace of Auburn Hills the fantabulous NBA finals came to a close as the Bad Boys brought home a title they haven't witnessed in 14 years, returning a sense of Pistons passion and pride to D-town in their 100-87 conquest of the court. Hats (or in honor of Hamilton, masks) off to Larry Brown and the little team that could and did take on the Fab Four with a team effort that is seemingly unprecedented in the NBA.

The Wimbledon Championships got underway today, and looking to win her 10th singles title was none other than Martina Navratilova. Ms. Navratilova was thoroughly pounded on the clay at the French Open, but truly proved herself more of a bull on the grass with an opening round victory at Wimbledon. At 47 she is not one of our favorites to model the Juicy Couture line of tennis gear, but with one win under her belt, who knows how far she can go? Another win or two, and she'll be tickled pink.

There are a lot of non-traditional sports that have emerged onto the landscape in the last few years. Unless you have been in a coma or living in the PRK, you probably have noticed that there seems to be an eagerness to have Poker shows takeover makeover shows as the concept television producers would like to beat to death.

And while the folks here at TVgasm believe there will always be a place for poker (wouldn't you like to be at the table where Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are throwing out their wagers?), we would like to highlight a more traditional pastime - competitive eating. Yes, for years, competitive eating has been a staple of summer. While there will always be people out there trying to outgorge others with pizza, pies, and chicken wings, we must always defer to the grandaddy of them all - the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog eating contest.

Many people in this country who saw any of the Democratic National Convention were introduced to what seems like a rising superstar in liberal, errr, progressive circles - Barack Obama. We here at TVgasm saw part of the convention, and part of the perks of being on the west coast is none of the convention coverage intrudes into prime time. Obama, who has a good chance of becoming the next senator from Illinois this fall, gave a stirring speech among some duds on the second day. This guy seemed genuinely likable and the crowd seemed all a flutter. He seemed so familiar to me, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Then I realized it. Obama has a striking resemblance to Tayshaun Prince of the Detroit pistons, who is pictured on the right in the picture below. Prince played college ball in the neighboring state of Kentucky and now plays professionally in nearby Michigan. Both are tall and thin. I wonder what Barack's jumpshot is like?

Is Jeff Zucker running NBC Sports too? That's the only way to explain how the once venerable department has become a total mockery. After seemingly mortgaging the network to carry Olympic telecasts for the next umpteen years, NBC has quietly watched the NFL, the NBA, and Major League Baseball slip away to other networks, and now the AP reports that NBC has lost the Belmont Stakes too. Has it come to this? NBC can't even hold onto horse racing? Exactly what is there left to air on NBC Sports outside of golf, racing and... figure skating? I suppose there's college football, but what happens the other nine months of the year? There's always Pro Croquet or the National Badminton League! Maybe NBC should do some more cross-promotion and introduce Trump Lacrosse.

I guess what annoying about all this is that NBC Sports is actually a pretty solid operation. Watching the NBA in the hands of ABC is a joke. CBS's coverage of football is fine -- if you like annoying commentary and not having instant replays. It's hard to watch a once glorious network completely devolve, but I guess these things happen. And hey, at least it's no ABC.

In a move that surely rankled NBC executives looking to sure up their Arena Football League offseason schedule, Fox Sports Network has announced that it will be airing the World Rock Paper Scissors Championship, Variety reports. Yes, I did just say that. This ranks as a new low for televised sports, although producers for Battlebots are rumored to be relieved now that they're one step higher on the athletic totem pole.

Okay, here's the good news. Apparently Fox and the World RPS Society do realize that this is ridiculous and will be adopting a tongue and cheek approach. For those curious to see this battle of fingers, tune in to FSN this Friday at 8pm EST for the one hour (!) showdown. No word on whether Fox will be tackling thumb wrestling.

For more information, check out the article here.

Middle Americans taking a break from their chuch going and porn glancing were shocked, SHOCKED today when Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Randy Moss turned a touchdown celebration into the funniest moment of 2005 (Ashlee Simpson getting booed off the Orange Bowl was less funny and more awesome). After receiving an amazing touchdown pass from Daunte Culpepper, Randy Moss mooned the Green Bay fans and then wiped his ass on the goal post - all in pantomime of course. Despite the roaring laughter in the TVgasm offices, Moss's little show prompted sportscaster Joe Buck to declare, "That is a disgusting act by Randy Moss. And it's unfortunate that we have that on our air live. That is digusting by Randy Moss." And by "disgusting" he means HILARious. Still, Joe Buck is right. Such displays of tastelessness are unwelcomed at Fox, the home of "Who's Your Daddy?", Paris Hilton, and that scene from The Simpsons where Bart moons the Australian government.

Randy Moss will certainly face a fine from the NFL, which is unfair. Any act that brings such joy to our lives should never be penalized. If I had more liquid assets, I would donate a dollar or two to help offset any penalty. Sorry Randy. Maybe you should say you weren't mooning, only stepping out of your invisible touchdown pants.

Of course, what doesn't make sense is how the NFL can accuse Randy Moss of being classless when it had already displayed a far more disturbing, disgusting, and embarrassing image earlier in the game. Viewer discretion advised:

One of the perks of living in Los Angeles — aside from the culture and light traffic — is being able to occasionally observe the Hollywood social ladder and the rungs of insecurity that form it. (Get ready for a name-droppy sentence) Last night at Spago I happened to sit a table over from one Rick Fox, late of the Los Angeles Lakers, Oz, Vanessa Williams, and, well, various RadioShack and local Ford commercials. Being a Knicks and non-annoying commercial fan, I can't say that Mr. Fox was ever super high on my favorite celebrity list, but I'm always willing to revise an opinion...

UPDATE: It was quite the lackluster Super Bowl for commercials. Some of our thoughts and three videos after the jump.

Well, it's Sunday evening, and if you're like me, you just spent about six hours planted in front of Fox watching the Super Bowl. From a sad, geriatric performance by John Fogerty to a sad, geriatric performance by Paul McCartney, this telecast was all about one thing: securely covered breasts. Yes, you might say the presence of such old timers as Charlie Daniels, George Bush, and Bill Clinton might significantly reduce the risk of a nip-slip redux, but I might argue that if a wardrobe malfunction were to occur through some strange act of fate, it would be about ten times uglier than Janet Jackson's supple titty. So let's wind back the clock and take a tour through the sanitized and sterilized Super Bowl coverage.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. NCAA tournament time. 65 teams all start out with one goal. No matter what your season has been before you entered, you need six more wins to become the champion. If you lose one more game, you go home.

Good luck, and we encourage lots and lots of trash talking. For instance, the UConn fans who were giving me shit about beating Syracuse last week must love this picture of Hakim Warrick dunking against their team on their way to a Big East Championship.

I am sorry that I have not been very good with the tournament updates. After my favorite college team, Syracuse, lost in the first round, I partially lost interest in all my brackets (largely because I had them winning in almost all of them). When my alma mater, Dartmouth, lost in the first round of the Women's tournament, what was there left for me to watch? Well, just a ton of good basketball.

I think college sports comprise some of the greatest events in the country. I love college basketball, and especially the NCAA tournament. So when my team lost, I start rooting for the underdog, and the underdog did a lot of good things this year. Syracuse - gone. Kansas - gone. And that was just in the first couple of days. UCONN - gone. Wake Forest - gone. That was all just the first weekend.

This year the tournament has had many close games, and many overtimes. I thought I had as much excitement as I could take in one day when West Virginia and Wake took three overtimes, and then I dug in for this weekend's games. Oklahoma State and Arizona, Michigan State and Duke, North Carolina and Villanova. Could it seriously get any better?

Of course it could. Of the the games played to decide who would go from the Elite Eight to the Final Four, three of them went to overtime (one a double over time). One team came back from twenty points down, and another team came back from 14 down with four minutes left. Was the shot by Patrick Sparks to send Kentucky and MSU into overtime completely ridiculous or what (and by ridiculous, I mean ridiculously exciting)?

Hopefully next weekend's games will be just as enjoyable. A mini-update on the TVgasm Yahoo Tournament bracket comes after the jump.

Congratulations to Roy Williams and North Carolina for winning the 2005 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. It was an exciting tournament with lots of close finishes, and the final game was just as exciting as any of them. Illinois came back from being behind 15 points to tie, but in the end, Sean May could not be stopped inside and Raymond Felton made a key steal down the stretch to save the win. Luther Head had a chance to tie with ten seconds left, but his shot was off, and it gave Roy Williams his first NCAA Championship in his second year at UNC. I can't stand the Tar Heels, but they had a good team and played a great game.

In our NCAA Tournament Challenge, team pwnt won the whole thing, despite picking UNC to lose to Illinois in the chapionship.

UPDATE: I wrote this article before Yahoo updated the scores, congratulations actually goes to ProphetsOfRage. Sorry for the mixup. The final winning bracket is available after the jump. Thanks for playing, and we'll do the same next year.

Football and country fans take note. After sixteen years of crooning on ABC's Monday Night Football, Hank Williams Jr. will be closing up shop after this season. The announcement was unofficially made yesterday during production of the opening credits. I was lucky enough to be on set during the shoot, and while nothing exceptional happened, Mr. Williams did receive a warm ovation from the cast and crew (as well as a nifty photo collage from ABC). Don't know the real reason why the trademark opening has been scrapped, but it's safe to assume that the show's future move to ESPN in 2006 probably has something to do with it. Seems like ABC doesn't quite want to share everything with its sister network. Now, if we could only work on getting rid of Ty Pennington...

A few weeks ago when I checked out the And 1 Mix Tape Tour in lovely Inglewood, CA, I had no idea what nuggets of joy would await me. For sure, I thought the high point would be seeing the ubiquitous Blair from Road Rules sitting just a few seats away, but no! Turns out my fortuitous courtside seat snagged me a primo spot in the background of last night's episode of X-Play on G4 TV. Man, I haven't been this excited since my chin appeared on FSN back in December. Oh, and the basketball was good too.

When TVgasm asked me to do a recap for Monday Night Football, the first thing I thought was, is there any way I can get some free sex out of this? B-Side informed me I'd still have to pay, and while I was disappointed, frankly the whole naughty factor still hooks me in each and every time.

Regardless, I should begin by saying I'm a native of Northeast Ohio, and therefore a fan of the Cleveland Browns. If you're not familiar with the Browns, they were stolen from us in 1995 by an evil cult known as the city of Baltimore. When the Browns left, I left the NFL. When the Browns came back in 1999, they sucked. From 2000-present, they sucked.

Being that my interest in pro football is sparked only when the Browns are not sucking, for all intents and purposes, I haven't known jack about the NFL since about 1994, which frankly should make for a more entertaining recap. If that doesnt entice you to come inside, then know this: I have Kaysar news!

The Google home page word of the day is aberrant: abnormal.

I have to admit, as screwed up as I may think the BCS is, it has been responsible for a lot of great games, including four more this year. If you're looking to celebrate the win, there is a party in my pants, and you're all invited. Can't wait for the NFL playoffs!

We've all seen it happen before: a live news anchor introduces a segment only to be plagued by dead-air and the realization that technical difficulties are abounding. But there was something extra special and awkward about James Brown suffering live on Fox yesterday. I don't know if it was the ten seconds of silence or the fact that someone actually did the "This is awwwwkwaaard" cough in the background, but the moment was special. Special enough for us to share. Enjoy.

This weekend marks Superbowl XL. I'll definitely be watching and although I don't know if there will be a liveblog, I will post my favorite ads on Monday. (I am really hoping the Bud Light daredevil has something great planned. ) There is an actual game going on, and although some people aren't giving the Seahawks a chance, I am hoping that the game is as closely contested as the last several have been (if we ignore that embarrassing showing by the Raiders a few years back). Halftime shows are a big deal ever, and after Janet, and the snooze-inducing Paul McCartney, the folks at the NFL have dug up the Rolling Stones for this year's festivities. Halftime is also when other channels try to take some ratings away from the network who won the Super Bowl Sweepstakes. One of those attempts is the Lingerie Bowl, a Pay-Per-View event were you can watch women in lingerie play football. It's almost as exciting as strip Texas Hold 'Em and 30% more educational as well.

Such an event normally wouldn't be a big deal except that Lauren (that's her on the right), former Beauty and the Geek participant and sometime paramour of The Miz, is scheduled to play this year. I am not sure how good the actual game is, but FoxNews.com has a video interview with Lauren and another participant. If they play football half as well as they speaka de English, it should be very entertaining indeed. To watch the video go to FoxNews.com (it won't kill you!), and click on "Video" tab at the top. When the FoxVideo player plays, "Half-dressed Halftime" should show up among the most watched on the right of the player, or click "FoxLife" on the bottom to bring it up. Sounds complicated, but well worth the laugh, especially the talk about injuries. You'll need Flash to watch the video. Thanks to MYL for the tip.

Update: Reader jgray informs me that you can watch all of the ads online at AOL.com as well.

While checking Gizmodo to determine if the cell phone I lust over has been released yet, I learned that the first three rounds of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament will be broadcast for free over the web. The only thing that kept my productivity through March at what I would call even a marginal level was that it was next to impossible to find a job that had the pay per view that promised to show every game in it's entireity. March Madness on Demand now allows me allows me to attain unheard of lows in productivity as I watch all 56 games in their entireity. If you want to get in on the action, you do have to sign up, and the webcast will be capped at a certain number of viewers and is still subject to local blackout restrictions. Still, with handy features like a boss button, I think we have a hit on our hands.

And if you want to participate in a TVgasm NCAA Tournament Bracket, please leave a comment or send me an e-mail so I can judge demand.

Good luck! Since we don't know seed or brackets yet, how about some nice mascot trash talk for the comments? Otto the Orange will take you down!

It's funny how things can change in the space of a few days. I would usually take this time to make fun of UConn fans, who had anointed themselves champions of everything, and then promptly lost their first game in the Big East tournament, but they lost to the eventual champions, SYRACUSE, so I won't use words like "choke", "overrated", or "one and done". What I will say is that it has been a great month for college basketball, and it will get even better when the NCAA men's basketball tournament starts next week.

I think we can all say that the first weekend of the 2006 Men's NCAA tournament had an excellent first weekend. Although I didn't get to watch nearly as many games as I would have liked, and my boys from Syracuse were unceremoniously bounced in the first round, there has been a lot of great basketball. Most of the games were within ten points, and there have been plenty of upsets and lots of exciting finishes.

We have almost 250 people that filled out brackets in the TVgasm group. Right now, the top finishers are Yes, I'm a GIRL (T. Henderson) with 520 points, luck of the irish (M. O'Malley) with 500 points, and M. Hunter (M. Olowinski) and Kenzie2 (B. Wallace) with 490 points. Of them, only Yes, I'm a GIRL has their Final Four intact, so there will probably be plenty of movement this weekend. My team, Boner for Banks is still in the hunt in 8th place, but I will probably plummet because of my disability which prevents me from ever placing Duke in a Final Four.

I would also like to give a shout out to the Dartmouth women's team, which was within three points of a huge upset with 12 seconds left on the clock, but couldn't pull out the victory against Rutgers.

How are your brackets doing? Is your favorite team still in it?

LSU: 62 Duke: 54

A few more March Madness observations after the jump.

The winner of the TVgasm Tournament Challenge was E. Widtfeldt's team NickelBagofFunk, who squeaked out a win by only ten points over M. West's team Where's Andrae? For those of you who didn't follow the standings, there was all sorts of movement up and down as the upsets kept on coming. The winner's bracket is after the jump and take this time to get your last bit of trash talking in before baseball season starts!

What's that? Oh, baseball has already started? Go Yankees!

To enter, visit the home page for the the NCAA football TVgasm group or the NFL football TVgasm group, go through the steps to create your entry and then make your picks. Each week you will have a chance to choose from a new set of games, and the person with the most points at the end of the season wins. So more people can join, we are not playing with "point spreads". We will have updates throughout the year, but you can do your trash talk 24 hours a day and 7 days a week in the TVgasm forums.

Good luck!

Monday Night Football makes its triumphant debut on ESPN tonight, and in honor of this momentous occasion, we're being treated to a double-header: Washington vs. Minnesota and then San Diego vs. Oakland. This of course begs a very important question: who'll be on sideline duty? So far, we know that Suzy Kolber and Michele Tafoya have got the first game covered, but what about the second? Our guesses after the jump.

Normally, I may have a twinge of guilt for the pure schadenfreude of watching Notre Dame's title hopes and Brady Quinn's Heisman dreams take a hit, but all of that is worth knowing that the guy in this clip is going to crying in his rosaries for the next week. Hey asshole! Before you taunt a player on the other team for not catching a touchdown, maybe you should check to make sure that your team isn't losing by three scores.
