Can We Just Press Fast Forward

The insane talent that belongs to the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics makes us wish we could just press fast forward and move ahead to a rematch in this year's championship.  We're all big NBA fans, but even we're bored.  We know it will be these two teams in the finals again, so can we just get it over with?

On a different note, Jason and Rob are all dolled-up today because we doing some video shoots.  Look for those to appear in a video coming soon.  We're not sure what to expect from guys who have "faces for radio."







We love college basketball around here.  And it was fun to see Michigan pull what some are calling an upset yesterday.  But what we love even more is that you can actually lose a game, or two, or 6, and still wind up champion at the end of the year.  It's so much nicer than college football where you are pretty much hosed if that happens to you.

There are not too many people you'll find who support to the BCS, and we understand why.  But, when you look at college basketball it is even harder to fathom the difference between the two.  But, as you know, money rules all.
