Mike & Mike Eating Contest

UPDATE: I know a bunch of you are coming from Digg and Google search results to watch this video. If you wanna help me out, please click on one or two of the blue ads links on the left to offset the bandwidth costs. Thanks!

Making up for lost time and a less than exciting morning. Here is an eating contest that Mike & Mike had on ESPN and ESPN Radio earlier today. I think this is because Mike Golic lost the March Madness Bracket to his co-host… pretty funny stuff, but definitely not for the light stomached people who like their food.

The trophy presentations after the contest was over. It was funny that they had an ESPN nurse and were sponsored by Pepcid AC. By the way, good luck to those who are on the airplane with Mike & Mike as they travel to Kentucky later today to cover the Kentucky Derby.

Baseball Season Goal

Well we are a month into the season and here is where I stand on my (revised) goal. There is a constant update on the left sidebar about the Yankees and Blue Jays but I just thought I’d give you guys an update so far with yesterday being a month gone by.

For the Yankees I have caught all 29 games so far and here are some random stats. 23 (79.3%) of those games I have caught on the YES Network which at times I agree can be a bit painful to watch but maybe they are growing on me since I am such a fan of their team. I caught 2 (6.9%) games on radio (one when our apartment had no TV and the other one was the night I was driving down to DC with my roommates for the Cherry Blossom Festival), caught 2 games on ESPN (one vs. the Jays in the opening series for the season and one against the Red Sox in Fenway), there was one (3.45%) that I watched on MLB.TV from Silver Spring, Maryland which is quite unique since I live here and don’t often get a chance to go out of the viewing area during the season and just the other day against the Indians there was a game on TBS. I don’t remember if that game was blacked out on TBS and I watched it on YES but I have it on TBS in my sheet.

For the Blue Jays, it had started off real well when I had watched 8 of the first 9 games but since then it has only been 11 out of 19 games. Overall percentage is down to 67.86% and I still have 62 more games of theirs to catch to reach the goal. Obviously MLB.TV has been the dominant viewing preference because they aren’t on tv much here but I did catch them twice on YES (7.14%) and once on ESPN (3.57%). They have to find ways to start scoring runs again in this tough AL East. I knew New York (even with their injuries), Boston and Tampa would be tough but Baltimore really surprised me this month. Two losses in a row for the Jays where they only scored 1 run on the Red Sox but on the other hand, only allowed 3 runs total in the two games. The pitching has been solid (Halladay with 4 straight complete games but only one win to show for it)… so the offense really needs to start picking this up soon.

Crazy Dunk!

Just saw this clip on ESPN! What a dunk for a kid in high school. It is from a Hermiston High School… anyone know where that is? or the name of the kid?


Edit: As the clip title indicated, the kid’s name is J.J. Ross and Mike D. says the school is possibly located in Oregon.

Interesting Google Queries

I have attached below a recent Google Analysis on the terms searched on Google and if my blogs are in the top 20 (as in appear on the first page), these are the top search queries from that.

It is a little disturbing to see all those Tom Brady references to see whether he was actually on The Brady Bunch. I remember talking about it a couple of friends a day or two after I had posted the ESPN clip about him and the mock Brady Bunch references. Apparently, several people took that very seriously and did not get the joke. Among the top disturbing queries would be “Angry Tom Brady” and “Brady ‘Bunch Tom’ Brady” searches. I do not know what these people were thinking when they searched for it but certainly my blog appears #3 when you search for either of those two terms and there you have it. However, as of today if you search “Brady ‘Bunch Tom’ Brady“, I do appear #1 on the search result… go figure.

Outside of the title of the blog, I was impressed to see that I appear #1 when you search for “Super Tuesday Results” on Google.

Chris Berman going “Boinkers” now has me third overall.

Bobby Knight

In honor of Coach Bobby Knight resigning in the middle of the year, I have decided to put up the top 10 sound bites courtesy of ESPN. Already enjoyed this earlier with my roommate while another friend of mine talked about some Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. in early April. Anyone interested in going?

Just for reference, I currently have no interest in attending that festival.
