I haven’t read the column yet. I just wanted to say I HATE sports.

I have no idea what the show “Love Bites” is about but the first time I saw the ad, I thought, “CAN-celled!!!”

For some reason I’ve got a B-side single from The Lonely Island’s first CD stuck in my head….

I don’t listen to CBC Radio as much as I used to, so I haven’t heard The Debaters, but I caught a few episodes on TV and you’re right, it’s damn entertaining. (Especially the Disney one.) On the surface, you`d think it was just a knckoff of Lewis Black`s Root of All Evil, but it`s so much funnier. (And I loved Root of All Evil.) Looking forward to the Batman/Spider-Man one tomorrow, now that I know about it.

You know, I might just take umbrage to you denigrating my city’s hockey team, if I weren’t too stoned to care.

Do you guys in Canada get Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory? I reckon it’s the best show on MTV in the US, yet it doesn’t get write-ups. I think Nerdy McHugenschlong gets more attention, as well as ABDC, the decaying dinosaurs from Bunim-Murray Productions, Guidos that misrepresent my neck of the woods, and knocked up teens and their potentially doomed offspring. Seriously . . . Rob Dyrdek, skateboarding manchild with a show that gives me at least two laughs per episode.

I’m not into the NBA, but I do have to ask: wouldn’t the thought of Mark Cuban winning a championship be as repelling to some people as LeBron James screwing Cleveland and getting his first ring? I mean, if the Mavs win, I wouldn’t expect a whole city to commit ceremonial hara-kiri like Cleveland would, but I know Cuban rubs a lot of people the wrong way . . . especially David Stern, which would make the trophy ceremony awesome.

@Jason: Nah. LeBron winning would be much worse.

The Mark Cuban thing is countered by the fact that a Mavs win means that Jason Kidd finally gets a ring.

Poor Jason Kidd. He’s no spring chicken anymore, somebody ought to let that nice young man win already.

Oklahoma Stolen Team?
The team went to a town that appreciates them from a town that didn’t. What’s wrong with that?

I’m happy to hear Elvia Kurt is still getting work, because she’s a fantastic comedian and serious underrated and needs to do more stuff.
