A few quick things

1.  Cam Newton had a bad combine weekend but it won't affect him all that much in the draft.  He'll have a doozy of a private workout at Auburn I'm sure.  My prediction is that he doesn't get past the 4th pick.  Even though Blaine Gabbert of Mizzou and Ryan Mallet of Arkansas are more NFL ready.

2.  How is Reggie Miller not in this year's National Basketball Hall of Fame Class?  I know he'll get in, but you have got to be kidding me.  He was easily one of the 3 most clutch players of his era.  He CARRIED the Pacers.

3.  The next time Jimmer Fredette is on TV, watch him.  The most exciting player in college basketball in my opinion.  He is fun to watch.

4. Von Miller ran a 4.46 at the combine.  What a beast.  After several years of not putting players in the NFL, A&M will make a big splash with Miller.  That is a boost to Mike Sherman and staff.

5.  The Baylor men keep hanging around.  They need to win their next 2.  They are better than Oklahoma St., but Stillwater is a tough place to play.  And the Cowboys need the win too.  And if the Bears win Tuesday, Texas is coming to town Saturday.  Never an easy win.

6.  The King's Speech cleaned up at the Oscars.  I was mad that True Grit went 0 for 10.  Social Network should have won Best Picture.  That movie was awesome.  I am on the fence about the hosts.  Anne Hathaway is beautiful, but eh.  James Franco is a funny guy, but I felt he was hardly on the show.

7.  Charlie Sheen has lost it.  He was on GMA this morning.  I could make tons of coke and hooker jokes, but my one liners would not do this justice.  Here you go-
Sheen said that he’s bored now with cocaine. But he said he “exposed people to magic” when they partied with him and that he loved doing drugs.
“What’s not to love?” he said on ABC. “Especially when you see how I party. It was epic. The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards just look like droopy-eyed armless children.”
“I am on a drug,” Sheen said. “It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.”
 I rest my case.  The man needs help.  He is blaming CBS for the stoppage of the show, but had he not done what he did, the show would already be in the can for this season.

8.  My top 5 shows you should be watching right now:
a) Modern Family
b) Parks And Recreation
c) Archer
d) Justified
e) Community

That is all for now.

I know it's been too long

But I have a doozy of a list today.  Been cooking it up for 2 weeks. 

1.  If the Cardinals don't give Albert Pujols everything he wants, they are crazy.  Best player of this generation. His first 10 years compare to the GREATS.  Gehrig, Ruth, Mantle, Mays, Williams, etc.  In fact in certain cases he is better.  Not only should they pay him, they should agree to whatever other demands he has;  For example: ( and keep in mind this would be Albert Pujols demands.   Not mine.  Not mine at all.)

a)  I want to be on an episode of CHIPS.  What, CHIPS hasn't been on the air for more than 20 years?  Reunion show then.  Get it done.
b) I want a law passed that says Rascall Flatts can't perform in the USA anymore.
c) I want to meet Homer Simpson.  Not the guy who does his voice, Homer Simpson.  Make it happen.
d) I want the original Guns & Roses to get back together.  And I want Axl to go back to his 1991 form.  No excuses, get it done.  I don't care if he is crazy.
e) No more movies about wimpy vampires.  It's getting old. 
f) I want Cee-Loo Green's Muppet back-up singers from the Grammys to follow me wherever I go.

These are just a few.  Feel free to add your own.

2.  The Rangers will get things worked out with Michael Young.  There isn't a trade they can make that will be even close to beneficial for the team.  And they shouldn't make a trade unless they can get a pitcher back in return.

3.  Rob Ryan is a great hire for the Cowboys.  He brings an edge they haven't had a on staff for awhile.  I am already excited for the profanity laced tirades.  Cowboy fans have been longing for a tirade.  All they have gotten the last few years is crying.

4.  Has anyone seen the cast for the Celebrity Apprentice?  It includes Jose Canseco, Gary Busey, Meat Loaf, LaToya Jackson, Dionne Warwick, Lil Jon, and Star Jones among others.  Actually I think this cast could very well be on Celebrity Rehab as well.  What kind of Apprentice is Trump looking for?  Bold prediction: Gary Busey tries to kill someone.  I wouldn't spend 30 seconds alone in a room with that guy.  Much less sleep anywhere in his vicinity.

5.  Man the Spurs are good.  This may be their last hurrah, but I would love to see a rag tag group of vets take the title.  Everyone loves Boston vs. LA, but the Spurs are old school.

6.  TCU needs some PR help.  You pound your fist for years that you need to be taken seriously, even going so far as to say anyone, anytime, anywhere.  And then when an opportunity comes up with Wisconsin and you have a legitimate scheduling conflict, you let them beat you to the punch on the news.  It makes you look bad.  Then when BYU left the conference, your head coach, Gary Patterson, warns them to "be careful what they wish for."  A year later, TCU is on the way to the Big East.  And you are playing them at Cowboys Stadium when your schedule wasn't final.  Do you see how this makes you look TCU?  I am on your side.  Good luck in a BCS league.  You deserve more credit than you were getting.  But the incessant hypocrisy makes people not care about your plight.

7.  A British actor is playing Superman.  Henry Cavill is his name.  He better be good.  Not sure how I feel about a Limey getting a truly American role.  We'll see. 

8.   The Kardashians made 65 million dollars last year.  Are you kidding me?  This should be a major talking point in the next Presidential election.  You can make that much money for having people film what you were going to do anyway?  Sign me up.  Next week on "The Catalinas," Paul has a sandwich and goes to work out.  Later on he hosts a radio show and goes home to relax.  Maybe he'll have some beers with his friends.  Riveting stuff. 

Thank you.  That is all.

Super Blog Days 2 & 3

The last 2 days have been a madhouse here at Radio Row.  1st off the weather is absolute crap.  Of course you know that.  We are actually at the one spot in Texas that probably won't get a rolling blackout.  Too much media here for that.  So... sorry about that Texas.  I am going to give you are rundown of the last 2 days.

Tuesday 6:15 AM- Smoaky and I do a TV interview with KWTX.  I tried to look peppy.  Tried.  

 8:30 AM-Buses slowly depart for media day at Jerry World.  25 miles an hour the whole way there.

9:30 AM-media day starts.  What a circus.  A lot of people trying to get noticed.  And most of them aren't players and coaches.  Inez Sainz, Ross the Intern, some dude in a super hero outfit.  Crazy.

12:45-arrive back at radio row.  Interview about 7 or 8 people.  

7:15 PM-head to media party at the House of Blues.  Moose Johnston, Michael Johnson, Pat Summerall, Roger Staubach, Frank Luksa, many others all in attendance.  Old 97s played.  LOVE LOVE LOVE the Old 97s.  Free food.  Chicken, waffles, BBQ, all just amazing.  Open bar too.  We'll just skip that part.

Wednesday-8:30 AM- With the open bar making me pay for it, we head to radio row.  A flurry of interviews await us.

9:00 Leon Lett
