26th and Twelve

The Daytona 500 ended up being a great race. Jeff Gordon crashed out early and went on to finish 26th. Found myself rooting for Dale Jr. at the end (I used to hate him before he joined Hendrick), but he crashed out near the end too. The win went to 20 year old Trevor Bayne, which is pretty cool. Kind of crazy thinking about winning a race like that at 20 years old.

NBA All Star game is on right now. If anything, it's entertaining. These guys take it seriously for the first half or so then it just turns into a dunk contest at the end. Wonder what the total over/under was for the game. I feel like the scores of these things is always 152-144. In other news, AC Milan won today - they're pretty much dominating Serie A. Gattuso had an assist, which is rare because he's usually too busy beating dudes up to worry about scoring/passing. Also it was a pretty bad weekend for UConn. New goal is to finish 8th or better so they can at least get a first round bye in the Big East Tourney.

Watched Twelve tonight. Didn't really know what to expect. Knew it was released at 2010 Sundance, but not much more. Turned out to be a letdown, to say the least. After the first minute of the movie it was set up to have potential - drugs, sex, rich kids, violence, drama...been done before, but still capable of being decent. After watching the movie though, it's safe to say the best part of this flick was that it was narrated by Kiefer Sutherland....which makes me guess that probably 10% at least of the film's 5 mil budget went to him. Also 50 cent was in it playing, you guessed it, the drug dealer. Almost as bad type casting as when I was Doody in Grease. Anyway, I give the movie a 1.5/5...they're lucky they had Jack Bauer on their side.


Two days until Tampa for Yankees spring training. Will be posting a lot from down there with updates and pictures of me hanging out with all the players...ha.
