Fabulously Friday...?

John Madden is retiring/has retired. I don't know if that's a process for him or if just saying it makes it so. The (larger) football family is now gushing praise and respect for Madden. I've never really had any personal interest in Madden as a broadcaster, but I basically learned football from his games, which he might still be involved with. Although, I doubt he's ever been that involved with the games.

Speaking of broadcasting legends, Bob Costas was "in the booth" for yesterday's Yankees' home opener for the lowly MLB Network. Ah, the New York baseball bias. Again, New York stadium openings seem to overshadow a lot. Anyhow, Cleveland killed them, so it wasn't much of a home opener.

About this whole KG thing, I don't know if the NBA really needs to play their two-month-long playoffs now. Before Garnett's injury, it probably would have been enough to just play the conference finals between Boston and Cleveland and the Lakers and any basketball team with at least 5 players. Now, they can just skip straight to the Finals, which could be epic.

Bryan and I tried to play the Finals matchup of Cleveland/LA last night on NBA Live, but all of Cleveland's starters were in street clothes. On NBA Live. The good news is that NBA Live's 365 feature has never been more "fresh." I guess it helps to have an off-day.

Parks and Rec picked up some steam last night. Amy Poehler's character is still sort of annoying. She's very Michael-like. But she started to show more of the Michael-esque comedy in this episode. Everybody else was still funnier than her, though. To me.

It's Friday, so I'm going to stop here. Have a good weekend.

QotD:

Did Matthew get his Xbox fixed yet?

My take: Probably not, but he needs to before mid-May because I'm going to have a lot more free time to play games then.

I know this is a weak QotD, but I really want to know the actual answer. Plus, there are usually only 2-3 people who respond anyhow.
