Tuesday edition: Wha’ happened?
Posted on January 30th, 2007 – 8:36 AMBy Michael Rand
Our mother star crashes; six billion years of darkness to follow: Thanks to a season-high 44 points from Kevin Garnett, the Wolves vanquished the hot Suns 121-112. Phoenix is now 33-3 in its past 36 games, which is just ridiculous.
Mike Singletary to bore a hole through Jerry Jones with his intense eyes on Tuesday: Singletary, the former Bears great with the spooky eyes in his playing days, will interview for the Cowboys’ head coaching job tomorrow. Luckily for Jones, he has many thick, protective layers of skin on his face to prevent scarring.
The Gophers might want to work Iona into their schedule: The Iona men’s basketball team fell to 0-21, blowing a double-digit lead in falling to Canisius 71-61. The victors, by the way, have a nickname of the Golden Griffins, which is fantastic. Here is their logo. Much better than the swaggering little fella who represents the Iona College Gaels.

Is the Iona Gael holding a shillelagh? You don’t see that very often.
The hands-down winner for college names is the Rhode Island School of Design Nads. Link is semi-NSFW, but really more disturbing than anything else. The mascot’s nickname is the cherry on top.
Oh, and Kevin Garnett? He’s good. No trade talk for 48 hours, okay?
Well, there’s the obvious California Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, but I’m kind of partial to the Western Kentucky Big Red Rascal.
They seem to have switched to a red towel for their main logo (WTF?), but a big red version of Grimace always seemed like such a good idea…

Exactly. It’s like, “Hey, Big Red Grimace, that’ll work!” Then he starts drinking before lunch, never returns your calls and keeps stealing things from your purse. The guy’s a jerk.
Nothing can kill the Grimace.

Untrue. If I have the mythology correct, he needs to slake his unholy thirst for the blood of newborn kittens every 24 hours, or he dies. Now, I know some folks say it’s malt liquor, but sadly, that only makes him kind of handsy. You’ll have to trust me on that.
Somebody call Mayor McCheese - I think Stu’s losing it…
The Fighting Squirrels of Mary Baldwin College (VA).
Fantastic.
RE: Mayor McCheese. He’s not, in fact, the mayor of anything. He just gave himself the title. Now, with McDonald’s no longer using him in their advertising, he sits in his underwear in a dreary utility apartment, staring at a framed picture of the Hamburglar, muttering, “You. You did this to me.” Sad, really.
From what I remember from Singletary’s Bear days, his glare was part of his uniform. I never saw one pict of him w/o that Marine Corps (I’m gonna whip your ass) glare.
I also remember he was a very intelligent man on the field calling out audibles before most def. players emphasized that practice. Now it’s common to do so but this guy would make a great coach, with Jones I’m not sure since Jones is a powerhead more in love with himself than his team. But with any other team, he’d be a good choice, so I say Zygi should throw out his trash and pick up Singletary, since next year the Vikes will just repeat this ridiculous year.
Gators and Badgers = great college names
Don’t talk to me about the Hamburglar. I do not talk about the Hamburglar - and he knows why.
All I can say, if the Hamburglar is reading this: Those were people, man. You did that to HUMAN BEINGS.
Jon: outstanding.
Concordia Cobbers. Fear the Ear!
