My time in the jury box is now over. It was an interesting experience, and I will have a short write up about the process manana. For now, I am running late on doing my questions, so I hope to see you tonight, as we return to action at O’Neals for the first time in 3 weeks.
O’Neals (3rd and South) 8 p.m.
Bards (20th and Walnut) 10 p.m.
In Seasons three and four of the original American Gladiators, there was a Pro Football Challenge of Champions. This former Heisman Trophy winner won both times.
Don’t know how long I’ll be. At least until late afternoon, I suspect. So check back then for the question of the week.
Wow, another year, another amazing National Championship game! Boy, I can’t wait until Ohio State beats up on a pathetic Big Ten (3-5 in bowls this year) again next year and then gets crushed by another SEC team in the championship game for the 3rd straight year. Won’t that be awesome? Oh well, as long as USC and LSU don’t settle this on the field, but in a computer (the same computer that thought that Ohio State was #1 in the country going into last nights game), I’m happy. Because that’s what sports should be all about: determining a champion via computers and voters, not on the field of play. Thank you BCS!
What is the name of the final event, the obstacle course?
Gonna post pics of last weeks winners, followed by a question about American Gladiators. Pretty interesting week, three first time winners and a loss for the Kingdom. I cannot post the Vous winner yet because I used a friends camera for that photo and said friend can’t currently find his or her camera. I am fairly confident that this person will locate this camera in the near future, and I will post the Vous winner at that time.
Back to the courthouse today to (possibly) wrap up the case and begin the deliberations. Be back later in the afternoon. In the meantime, check out the year in review. Will post photos of last weeks winners later this evening. (Btw, this Nutter inauguration speech is pretty awesome.)
American Gladiators debuted last night, and as excited as I was about it going in, it exceeded even my high expectations. Had a few folks over at the house, and we each bet a dollar on every event. I highly suggest this. It only added to the already frenzied atmosphere. The Hulkster was wonderfully terrible as a host (“Well, have a good run Bonnie. Where are your family members at?”), but Laila Ali brought nothing to the event. They really need to bring back Larry Csonka. The Gladiators were OK, but not as aggro and cocky as they were the first time, which is unfortunate. I like Wolf, and the Hawaiian guy was pretty intimidating, but there were no Malibus in the bunch. Still, the action was riveting, and the Pyramid event, where the Gladiators would throw the contestants like 35 feet down a pyramid, was remarkable and incredibly hilarious. I’m gonna try to upload video from the women’s eliminator, which may have been the hardest I have ever laughed in my life. This was quite possibly the best night I’ve ever had watching television.
