paul secor Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Just finished watching back to back episodes of As Time Goes By on two different PBS stations. Now, in between catching up with today's Organissimo posts, I'm watching the last minutes of the Knicks & 76ers. I'm not a Knick fan, but their games are televised here and at least they're usually entertaining to watch this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Shearn Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I saw bits of Mosley-Margarito while watching Affliction: Day of Reckoning( I love both boxing and MMA). Shane was just too experienced, too fast too skilled for Tony, who had been looking like one of the most dominating guys at 147 after beating Cotto. Shane Mosley is not Miguel Cotto, Cotto is a very 1 dimensional fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Basten II Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Just watched Antonio Margarito getting the shit beaten out of him by Shane Mosley No way!!! You made that up, didn't you? To be honest, i'm not that suprised by the result, but the ease he did it. On my card Margo never won a round. They tend to put too much stock on the last fight of a fighter instead of looking at the overall set skills and how they match up, the good ole styles makes fights. Margo fights in a predictable pattern, goes forward throws often wide punches, cares little about receiving anything in return but puts enough pressure that the opponents usually wears out In a weird way the fight with Cotto gave a blueprint of what you should do and what you shouldn't do against the Mexican granted you have some assets like great handspeed, power, stamina and lateral movement, which at this point rules out 99 % of opponents. What Cotto lacked was the slickness to avoid getting caught clean. Plus trading with him in the ropes was giving Margarito what he wanted. Mosley avoided these traps. He was the one dictating when and where they would trade. Mostly in the center of the ring. Anyway still an impressive acheivement by Mosley who at thirty-seven still looks fresh as a rose. By the way , i learned that he was divorcing from his beautiful wife Jin, wonder if she digs jazz geeks.

Van Basten II Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Watching 30 Rock episodes from season 2, just watched the one where they introduce the Celeste Cunningham character, anyone noticed the jokes they put in the MSNBC ticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched it on ESPN 2 where RFed wins the match 6-2 in the fifth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just watched the 4th quarter of the Rockets-Pistons. Detroit came back strong (with AI on the bench), had a chance to tie it at the end, but missed two wild threes. I had the feeling as I watched that ESPN wanted to go on to an X-Games broadcast and hoped that there wouldn't be an overtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Guess I'd better get the tube on... You know, whoevever Dokic plays next, I'm rooting for hard. As much as I sympathize with depression issues (having to deal with that problem myself), I'm getting really tired of hearing her "inspirational story" every day. Once or twice was hearwarming. Now it's become heartburn instead... You guys want to see something really frightening? Next time Patrick McEnroe is on the screen, try blocking his face from his nose down with your hand. I swear, those eyes, forehead, and hair are pure Bush, Jr.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewHill Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Just finished the Verdasko-Murray match that I DVR's last night, which Verdasko one 4-6 in the fifth! That's the biggest upset in the men's draw so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I really haven't been able to watch anything this week. My emotional state has eroded to the point where I can't sit still for more than 10 minutes anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the biggest upset in the men's draw so far. Excellent stuff! I'm just glad I didn't listen to the commentators and bet the house on Murray to win it all. Judging by their 'expertise', I must assume that Nadal doesn't have a prayer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 You know, this is disturbing. In one year I've gone from never watching television at all to being a regular on the "what are you watching" thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockefeller center Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 6:3, 6:0, 6:0. Very nice performance by Federer who's in his 19th consecutive Grand Slam semifinal. Impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a surprising adavance for Roddick over the Djoker, who retired from what seemed to be heat exaustion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Still watching ' In Treatment'. Next up # 25 . It's so intense I have to watch in smallish doses. The missus is watching Ozzy Open almost non stop. I don't like tennis so am banished to the next room with the small tv.

wesbed Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Welcome back Wes! Is this your annual post, or are you gonna stick around for a while?? It could be my annual post. I don't know. In the last year I played TOO much World of Warcraft, visited a friend in Buenos Aires, Argentina, got laid off from my job (not due to World of Warcraft), went back to the University of Arizona for a semester, and didn't buy much jazz. Now, school's out and I'm sitting at home living off my severance package and personal savings. Are you sure you want me to post more?

Well... we (I think I can speak for Conn, Free, SS1, Buzz & co) miss having you around here! The live chats aren't the same w/o ya. I hope you're keeping our border safe down there LOL. Sorry about being laid off too. That sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
