I'm too anxious to post anything about the game tonight, just counting down the minutes until I walk over to Verizon.
So instead, just wondering if anyone else had seen Dennis Miller's new show on Versus yet.
I caught it last night for the first time and I thought it was pretty funny. Reminded me a lot of his HBO show (toned down a bit, of course).
His strengths are still his strengths (reading the news, rants, providing captions for pictures on screen).
His weaknesses are still his weaknesses (interviewing skills).
Overall I thought it was very funny. Unfortunately, unless you're into the NHL (or MMA, rodeo, or cycling), you probably don't even know where the Versus Network is, so I don't know how many people are watching it.
He had a really funny joke last night about Dikembe and Yao Ming participating in the least intelligible conversation in the history of the world. (well, it was funny the way he read it).

Dennis Miller? Seriously, Boz?
Lisa: C:... C:\Dos... C:\Dos\Run... Ha! Only one person in a million would find that funny! Prof. Frink: Yes, we call that the Dennis Miller Ratio.

Sorry, I forgot. You young'uns all like Dane Cook and his tight outfits, I suppose. Dennis Miller's HBO show was one of the greatest talk shows ever. This new Versus version is a poor imitation, I admit, but funny is still funny. (in fairness to Buffalo, and I don't know why I need to be fair to him, he DOES always tout Hoya Mike Birbiglia, who quite possibly has been the funniest non-animated person on the planet for the past few years).But hey. Enough of my yappin'. Off to Verizon I go. I'll be looking down on all of you miserable peons from a luxury suite. Enjoy your basketball without sushi. . .if you can call that basketball.

I hate that they took Dennis Miller Live reruns off HBO Comedy. I was raised on that show.
The new show isn't bad but Miller isn't as good without 1. profanity and 2. a Clinton in the Oval Office.

At all? I love Birbiglia too, though I do take offense to his bit about his Intro to Comp Science at Georgetown since I was his TA for that class.
