    CH Sports Weekly: Demanding CollegeHumor Buys Out Our Contract

    by Amir and Ethan February 27, 2008


    Ethan: Big week in college basketball complete with a short stay at the top for Tennessee. Chris Lofton, I have seen Candace Parker. You, sir, are no Candace Parker. Does this mean Vanderbilt's the best team in Tennessee?

    Here, Pearl is livid because his blazer isn't the correct shade of "Tangerine."
    Amir: It seems that way. I think for now, it's Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Memphis, The Webb High School Spartans, and then finally the Grizzlies... at least until they unload Kwame's big contract.

    Ethan: I'm pretty sure Bruce Pearl getting upset could be its own TV show.

    Amir: I think ESPN2 has an open slot since RPM2Night got cancelled...

    Ethan: It wouldn't even need sound. Just his face contorting in anger at the end of games. Also, I'm amazed they never arrested Kevin Stallings at the end of Zodiac. How did Kansas lose to Oklahoma State?

    Amir: Well basketball is a team game, so when a team loses it's everybody's fault. "Everybody" is my nickname for Brandon Rush who went scoreless in the first half and missed a game winning shot. What a loser.

    Ethan: He only had himself to blame. Or his Self. Kansas is still going to be a monster in the tournament. That was one bad game, and they're second in defensive efficiency and third in offensive efficiency. Of course, they're also Kansas, so unless Danny Manning's around, it's hard to pick them. Who's your tourney sleeper?

    Amir: My sleeper this year, and every year, is Farleigh-Dickinson. Yours?

    CH Sports Weekly: McNameeng Names

    by Amir and Ethan February 13, 2008


    Ethan: I know you're dying to talk about the Pro Bowl, but let's talk college hoops first this week. But make it quick, Kelvin Sampson's been calling me every thirty or forty seconds to tell me "we'd love to have you here." Do you think most people feel horrified about this kind of recruiting scandal or think it's funny?

    Sampson is talking to a high school freshman right now on an imaginary phone
    Amir: I don't think anybody is horrified, except for the players/coaches involved. Recruiting scandals are more boring than baseball steroid scandals, and slightly less boring cycling doping scandals.

    Ethan: I like that Kelvin Sampson is apparently this stupid. He'd already gotten in trouble for phone calls at Oklahoma, then he does it again. He's like a teenage girl who can't stop calling Aaron Carter's 900 number.

    Amir: Mom! Have you ever heard of knocking!!!?

    Ethan: It's a sickness, really. At least the state of Indiana still has Butler. Is Kansas still going to win the Big 12 with two losses?

    Amir: Kansas State is 8-1, Texas is now 7-2, both have the tiebreaker currently so its hard to say who's going to win the Big 12. Though every time you have two Darnell's on your team, you're going to have a strong March, and that's all that counts.

    Ethan: Kansas State still has to play at Kansas and Baylor and Texas at home, so they could conceivably fall. Of course, Michael Beasley could probably eat Bill Self, so all bets are off. Do you want to make fun of Kentucky for losing last night?

    Amir: I thought they didn't show up? Did they play last night?

    CH Sports Weekly: We Tivo'd The Super Bowl, so 'Shh.'

    by Amir and Ethan February 06, 2008


    Ethan: What a week. That scrappy little bunch of underdogs from New Jersey looked at that undefeated New England juggernaut and said, "It ends here." Way to go, Rutgers' women's hoops; you really put UConn in their place. Oh, and there was a Super Bowl or something.

    Pats were a little premature when they did this in the first quarter.
    Amir: What was your favorite commercial? Mine was where Eli won Super Bowl MVP and Brady woke up sweating and scared. It was three hours long but I'm sold!

    Ethan: I always thought Eli's complete lack of emotion was a bad thing, but maybe it keeps him calm. During the national anthem he looked like a college kid who woke up just in time to get to class: unshaven, hair all nasty, and I'm not sure, but I think he was wearing pajama pants and carrying a Nalgene bottle. Is it time to call him an elite QB?

    Amir: I don't know! This entire post-season run has turned my world up side down. Does this mean Eli is better than Romo? Better than Hasselback? Better than Michael Vick?!?!? One thing is for sure, Eli was right when he refused to sign with San Diego. What do you think Bill Belichick is doing right now?

    Ethan: Watching a six-year-old tape of the Rams' Super Bowl walkthrough. If he'd seen that screen pass coming to Marshall Faulk they wouldn't even have needed that final drive. That or burning a J with Pats DB Willie Andrews, who had a half-pound of weed when he got arrested the other day. Can you imagine Belichick blazed?

    Amir: "Did you know if you take the audio from SuperBowl 38 over the video of Super Bowl 36 it lines up?"

    Ethan: Excited for the Pro Bowl?
