Sucker for a Man in a Suit.

Media day for the NBA - some light practice for the photogs and some of the new members give interview. "I'm so excited to be here." "We're really going to turn it around this year." "We've got awesome fans, can't wait to start the season."

My favorite part? Men in suits. I love it. It's also why I watch the Drafts. Men in suits - a weakness. And, as Court mentioned, we went to private school - so I don't mean that white oxford and messy tie. Gross. I mean grown men in tailored suits. Um. Just look.

YUM. Love my hockey men in suits. Can't help it. When ND's hockey team was really good we had to wait for hours in the entrance to the rink so we could score great seats, and we were there so early that the players had to walk over us to get in. So funny. But they were wearing suits and I almost died. Good thing I was already sitting on the floor because I almost passed out.

LebronJonez - one word

We love him here at popYEAH! Love Lebron James, he's just such a cutie and so funny. But, to us - he's LebronJonez because of a hockey video Court once showed me... Man, we get a lot of good things from the videos she forces on me.

Note: Lebron knows how to work a sponsor. He gets $15 million from Coke. I bet he got a bonus for being photographed with this sprite.

Tomorrow is the start of NBA training camp, which means I'll have some Shaq/Cleveland news. I love Shaq and his interviews. He cracks me up. 325 pounds of funny in my opinion.

Shaq Vs. Ben Roethlisberger.

Shaq Vs. premiered on ABC tonight, on a five episode contract, with an option for a sixth. So far slated guests are Ben Roethlisberger, Michael Phelps, Albert Pujois and Serena Williams. There were also talks for Lance Armstrong for the optional sixth.

Ok, this show is fun, I like the premise, and maybe it's because I do not like watching football, but it just wasn't that interesting to me. If it was hockey though, I would probably be enthralled.
Not because of Shaq though, and I like him! He needs to talk or commentate more during the show, he can be super funny!

All this show was to me was Ben Roethlisberger in an attempt...and failure to save his injured reputation, and Shaq doing a very poor attempt at a football player. Ben won, Shaq lost. I remained ambivalent. I like the community aspect. The game was played at a local Pennsylvania high school and, I missed the beginning, but I think they used the school's football players as the two men's teams.

Here was a touch point for me: Shaq has to go for a touchdown at the 20 yard line, whereas Ben's team must start from the 40. Not sure how I feel about that- kind of seems like a cop out. If he's gonna talk the talk, he'd better walk the walk, and that walk is 40 yards.

Words of wisdom from Shaqistotle:
"To beat them, you have to become them- remember that America."

Grade for this Show: D+
