Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out.
Happy March Madness everybody.
I celebrated by purchasing a solo ticket and attending the Big East Championship game yesterday.
Watched St. John’s beat Creighton to win their first Big East title since 2000.
That’s somereal New Yorkshitright there.
St. John’s is really a fascinating team to watch.
They spent about 75% of the game not being able to shoot the basketball whatsoever.
They barely even attempt jump shots.
I bet it’s over 100.
In general, that’s so much more impressive to me than National Championships.
We put so much emphasis on championships.
Like championships are all that matter.
I just remembered this the other day and it was making my laugh.
In June 2019, a “jukebox musical romantic comedy” movie called Yesterday hit theaters.
I never watched it.
So he writes and performs all The Beatles music himself and gets super famous because of it.
Then in August 2019, a “British comedy drama” movie called Blinded By The Light hit theaters.
I didn’t see that one either.
I know India and Pakistan are very different countries.
That Bruce Springsteen and The Beatles and different bands.
I know premises of the movies are a little different.
Like.. we can’t just have that genre to ourselves for even one calendar year?
Is the market for “western world learns about classic rock” movies really that hot?
When does Indonesian guy discovers Tom Petty come out?
Is there a Bangladesh/Nirvana crossover in the works?
Do you really think Wayne Gretzky came up with that himself?
Or do you think some pee-wee hockey coach laid that on him as a kid.
Maybe that quote really a Gretzky original.
From what I can tell, it probably is.
It just seems like a quote that would have been said before.
A quote that would go back farther than we could even pinpoint to a single person.
I taught him how to play hockey and he steals my fucking quote?
What an asshole."
They could make a movie out of that.
Maybe the movie ends with a violent confrontation between all of them on the set of NHL on TNT.
That would do numbersat the box officeon the Barstool Sports YouTube channel.
Impromptu Speed Rankings of NBA Finals Matchups I Would Like to See For My Own Personal Entertainment Purpose
1.
Lakers vs Cavs- LeBron vs Cleveland would be ideal.
If it’s ever going to happen, this is the year for it.
Lakers vs Knicks- Would really love to see the Knicks make the finals.
Especially while I’m living in New York.
LeBron rolling into to MSG with Godfather in hand.
Maybe Spike Lee lays a hand on him during a game.
A lot of hilarious potential there.
Warriors vs Knicks- Same thing but with Steph Curry.
The Knicks haven’t made the NBA Finals since 1999.
I want to see it happen.
Lakers vs Celtics- I’m out on the Celtics.
They’re exactly like 2004 Pistons to me.
But I’d be lying if I said the Lakers vs Celtics rivalry didn’t add some juice.
Thunder-or-Nuggets vs Knicks- The Thunder and the Nuggets move my needle exactly the same amount.
Which is not much at all.
But The Mecca is still magical.
- Warriors vs Celtics- Maybe I’m being too harsh on the Celtics.
I kinda feel bad for Jayson Tatum.
I kinda feel the same way about the rest of their team.
I can’t quite put my finger on it.
They just need one guy with some personality.
Or one guy to hate.
Or some sort of controversy.
They need Porzingis to go live on Instagram with a gun.
Or for him to bring a gun to the locker room Gilbert Arenas-style.
If the Celtics can get a gun involved somehow, I’ll be back in.
Thunder-or-Nuggets vs Cavs- Ratings nightmare.
