So, Happy Gilmore wasn't just a fantasy. Happy really would've been good, or at least a long driver. So, he probably would've been a snarkier version of John Daly. I just think Padraig Harrington should just man up and do it already. Wuss.
Oh, watch this so you know what I'm talking about:
I'm sorry for making this a link repository of late, but with a finals-melted brain I have been less than creative. We'll have some more original stuff for you soon (as if anyone was clamoring for it).

Snap Judgment: Holy Crap, This Guy Stole My Moves
Of course I'm kidding, but wow. That is all I can say. Wow.

Snap Judgment: Sit Down, Shut Up We'll Hardly Know Ye

The new animated show from the Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz, Sit Down, Shut Up, is funny. The show follows a group of oddball high school teachers voiced by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Henry Winkler, a couple of current and former SNLers, a few other people that have been in some other perplexing things, and Kristin Chenoweth.
With only the Pilot to judge, the writing shows glimmers of the sharp, sometimes-subtle-sometimes-blatant wit of Arrested. While suffering from the same it's-the-pilot-so-let's-introduce-ourselves-and-make-a-mad-bid-to-be-picked-up-at-the-same-time crutch that every other pilot has suffered (Arrested and 30 Rock even had the same problem on episode zero), Sit Down, Shut Up provided ample laugh-out loud moments. This may prove to be the first Josh-anticipated new show that isn't a let down.
That can only mean one thing: cancellation. If I like a show on Fox, which hasn't happened since well . . . nevermind. Let's just say that Fox isn't afraid to cancel a good show. Also, it seems that the initial public reaction is mixed at best. So, at least I'll have the five scheduled episodes.
Watch the full pilot below and tell us what you think (as long as it jives with what I just said):
There's another tidbit at the tail end of the episode (after the credits) which Arrested fans should appreciate, which I feel compelled to spoil now:

Snap Judgment: Stockton, Sloan and some other people selected for the Hall

Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame officials announced this weekend that John Stockton and Jerry Sloan (along with three other minor basketball figures, I forget who) will be inducted into the Hall of Fame later this year. Of course in typical Stockton fashion, John deflected all questions associated with this honor and pretended not to care.
Seriously though, it's a shame that Sir Michael is once again overshadowing the undeniably-great Stockton (and to a lesser extent, world-class role model David Robinson) . Although I'm sure Stockton and Sloan are elated that the spotlight is not being shined on them.
For those who need a refresher course (I'm talking to all of you who think Deron Williams is close to surpassing El Stockterino) here's Stockton single-handedly winning game six of the '97 Western Conference Finals. Watch the full video; it's worth it.
Oh and here are the career defining moments for the other two guys (no disrespect to C. Vivian Stringer, but I didn't really know who you were until a few weeks ago):
