2009 Tar Heels Please Sit in the Pantheon of Greatness

I'm done slurping the Tar Heels Kool-Aid after their beatdown of Michigan State. It's so rare that a team lives up to such high expectations, but to exceed them is simply astounding. That game against Michigan State was over in 10 minutes, the rest of the game was on cruise control. Now the only hope is that Ellington, Lawson, Thompson, and Woods all stick around. I'd settle for two out of that group, which seems likely. The Tar Heels won every game by double digits, we get to enjoy domination like that in the women's game, but never the men's. Everything came together, including the overall health of the team, and after that it became clear they were the class of 2009 that everyone thought they could become. Now imagine that team with defensive lockdown specialist Marcus Ginyard and it's entirely possible that they go undefeated. Wake, GT, and Maryland definitely don't win with Ginyard gaurding the respective stars that accounted for over 100 points in UNC's losses. They'll be decent next year bringing back Woods, Zellmer, Thompson, Helms, and another blue-chip recruiting class... SUCK IT DUKE.

Brewers got piss pounded because Jeff Suppan isn't good. I have a problem when you're opening day starter throws at the same velocity as the old guy pitching BP before the game. For idiots, BP stands for batting practice. I like the lineup and the fact that most of the team has bought in to working year round, but it's not realistic to think you can be good with our pitching staff. Looper and Hoffman are dinged up, Suppan is trash at this point, Bush is streaky, Parra fell apart after the all-star break and Gallardo is coming off MAJOR knee surgery. The bullpen is a bunch of people that nobody has heard of and our playoff streak ends at one... the life of the Brewer fan.

Interesting side note: I was watching Girls Next Door and Hef, the 83 year old shtooping two 18 year old blond twins (How awful is that?), needs to talk to someone about life decisions. Hef doesn't turn to his numerous children, ex-wives, his brother, or any member of his family. Hef jumps into a talk about how he needs to let Holly have a family with somebody who can provide her with that to his 80 year-old secretary Mary, who seemed to be his best friend in the world. I just found that very interesting considering he's Hugh Hefner, finding friends should be about as hard as finding beer at Brewer's Opening Day. Playboy seems like a family as tight knit as the clothes the hot girls wear.

I Love You Man is hilarious and entertaining. Jason Segal propelled himself to one of my favorite comedic actors. I personally think Seth Rogan wishes he was Jason Segal. He's just effortlessly funny and his naturally big/goofy appearance just helps him out. Paul Rudd is good, I just don't laugh at the awkward guy that much. I wish Andy Samburg and Jon Favreau were used more. The side characters were not used enough, each of them could have been used more for easy laughs. I'm going with an 8 out of 10 and the catch phrases to come out of it as "Suck it Gil" and "Slappin' the Bass" in whatever accent you choose.
