Thought I'd write something as I watched Winky Wright absolutely jab Tito Trinidad to death in the HBO rerun, followed by Lamon Brewster whipping Andrew Golota in all of 53 seconds. I went with my Dad to see Will Ferrell in "Kicking and Screaming" tonight. OK, it was silly. I believe it started at 8:00 and by, I dunno, 8:01, you knew how it would end. There was just something about Coach Ditka though. He was kinda funny and to see him patrolling a sideline in that Bears sweater was hilarious. If you like Ferrell, it's harmless. If you hate him, go elsewhere.

Previews for the most part were remakes or sequels. Lohan, before her eating disorder, is in the "Love Bug" and it has a NASCAR slant. "Bewitched" with Ferrell and Nicole Kidman has potential. Another "Harry Potter" is coming. Steve Martin in "The Pink Panther" looked like it might have been the best of the lot.

Glasgow has figured out how to get kids to eat healthier foods. It's called bribery.

Looks like aspirin does not help old-timers. That's fine, but how does it know where to go for the rest of us?

Tara Reid is the new host of "Wild On!". Shocking.

Today's Preakness was incredible. It was amazing as the two lead horses, Scrappy T and Afleet Alex got tangled up at the top of the stretch and Afleet Alex almost went down but did not throw his rider. But Jeremy Rose not only hung on, he passed Scrappy T and the two of them annihilated the field. The 3yo crop looks dead right now. It was a fast race, but no one made a move on the front runners.
