While at work today, the topic of Greenwich, CT, came up. Of course, that led to a discussion about the "Mean Street Posse", which I think remains one of wrestling's funniest gimmicks. A bunch of sweater-vested guys who grew up on the "mean streets" of Greenwich! Anyhow, that resulted in finding this clip, which chronicles the Posse trying to get the Hardcore Title (remember the title was on the line 24/7) from Crash Holly. It's not just that they seek Holly out in his hotel room, at the airport, or at Fun Time USA, it kills me that the ref accompanies them just in case they pin Holly at these various locales.

With summer around the corner, why not try a beerita. And the occasional Shandy will do you good with all of its lemony goodness.

Amy Winehouse won a songwriting award for "Rehab". I really like that song. It's Jewtastic!

Jones Soda will be poured at all events at Qwest Field in Seattle, including Seahawk games. They will be the only NFL stadium not to serve Coke or Pepsi. Let's hope they do not bring out the Turkey and Gravy flavor for their Thanksgiving week game. Still waiting for Cherikee Red at Jacobs Field.

While the Cavs were frittering away a third quarter lead this evening, I saw Casey Blake triple with the bases loaded. I immediately made plans to purchase lottery tickets.

The Cavs played a so-so first quarter and an excellent second quarter to have an 12-point lead at the half. Then they only scored 13 points in the third (with a three in the final minute from both Gibson and Marshall), a recurring problem. Halftime adjustments not their forte.

Cavs had a 69-65 lead in the 4th, only to turn it over 5 times in a row, giving up nine points. Thought that was gonna be it, but then it got even uglier as the Cavs lost, 79-76, for the second straight game. A game where Detroit had one basket in the final five minutes and the Cavs tallied an abysmal 26 points in the second half.

Observations:

The refs are refusing to call fouls both ways and that's why the scoring is down. Easily five fouls per team could result in 10 more points and it is not happening.

Guard play is terrible, thus far. For both teams.

Chris Webber is sitting during crunch time.

Anderson Varejao seems to be the most active guy on the court.

The Cavs are not pushing the ball up as much as I would like.

The Cavs use of timeouts was really bad in this game.
