Voila_Capture 2014-03-03_09-46-41_AMHorrible, horrible forecasting job from the weather people. No one – from Gary Szatkowski to Hurricane Schwartz – was close on this. Here was the projected snow fall total as of about 11 a.m. on Saturday, from the National Weather Service:

AI’s awesome retirement speech.

Joshua Harris is the worst public speaker on Earth.

Donovan McNabb is the Michael Jordan of being a son of a bitch.

This is the perfect quote-photobomb combo:

Seems like Ellen is getting lukewarm reviews on Twitter. I thought she was good. Different, light, kind of cheesy, but good. Who else can get multi-millionaires in $1,000 suits and $10,000 dresses to eat greasy pizza on live TV? I missed the 9-10 hour watching True Detective, so maybe there was a lull, but I thought she did a nice job. And the speeches were terrific, from Jared Leto to the director of Gravity (which is a terrible movie that just looked really good) to that woman from 12 Years a Slave to Matthew McConaughey:

Alright. Alright. Alright. Of course, Rustin Cohle would be going ballistic over this speech.

Nike unveiled the US Soccer Team’s World Cup kits. White. Lots of white:

Actually a good article from Marcus Hayes – with real, big boy sentences – about how Allen Iverson influenced Villanova players. Villanova, by the way, is now 26-3 and on their way to a top 2 seed.

Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci joining Joe Buck in the broadcast booth for the World Series.

Vince McMahon sharted his pants once.

Iverson rolled into Philly wearing a Yankees hat this weekend, and you know what, I ain’t even mad.

New Bucs uniform:

I like what Nike is doing and really like the Seahawks’ uniforms, but these are just awful. Maybe it’s because I hate brown.

Michelle Beadle returns to ESPN today. I miss the days of her on Cathedrals of the Game on INHD. My HD TV became a man to that show.
