Around SBN: NFL Owners Vote to Change Trade Deadline

THURSDAY NIGHT: Braves-Giants / 30 Rock-Office / Scrabbles-Vegas

                                       Photo_102508_001_medium

Charlie Scrabbles and I are meeting up this evening to watch the Braves @ Giants game.  We're also meeting up so he can give me $100 for something he's been wanting since he was a little boy.

We decided to try to blog the game live from Bob's barstools.  We won't have any audio so we won't be able to hear what the TBS guys are yapping about but we'll be reading your comments so come hard with the funny.

$100?

Should I even ask?

I'll let Scrabbles tell you exactly what it is.

And how bad he wants it.

Or was he involved with it?

I watched the pilot, and refrained from commenting on it here because I didn’t want to hurt any feelings.

I only saw the original pilot. They have since re-cast the show and re-shot the pilot.

Other than giving tune-in info, the only things I said was that there were 29 laughs in 22 minutes, and that “I haven’t heard a bad thing from anyone who’s seen it.,” which was true when I said in months ago.

I did a lot of promotional and sales work for this show, but I had almost nothing to do with the production, and cannot claim its successes nor failures beyond the audience size for the pilot.

At Qdoba just north of Bob's. First time.

I mention it only because I know it’ll elicit a comment from somebody.

i don’t care for the food all that much but they do have WiFi and they’re spinning a cool tune I’ve never heard at Chipotle.

I REALLY liked The Raging Burrito in Atlanta, as well as Blue Moon Pizza.

so tonight didnt go exactly as planned

we didnt have a good view of the ball game because they moved it to a smaller tv in favor of the Nebraska game. then FVA’s stupid apple computer became self-aware and started criticizing everything all condescending-like. the beer selection was laughable, the IPAs were pedestrian, the chicks werent carbon-neutral, the jukebox didnt have any Matt and Kim, you know, typical stuff you’d expect if an apple computer became self-aware.

all in all though, it was a good time. we’ll do it again sometime, definitely. and most definitely with more pics of chicks who were hot in 1996.
