Did you see this?

Last night in the New York Knicks vs. Houston Rockets game Nate Robinson (5'9) went up and blocked Yao Ming (7'5).

That got me thinking back about the tall and short end of the NBA game. Remember Mugsy Bouges and Manute Bol??

What about maybe the ugliest man alive: Gheorghe Muresan


So, I was thinking... who would win in an 2 on 2 game: Mugsy and Bol vs. Robinson and Muresan.

If the game was up to 11, my guess is it's tied 10-10 and Bol takes a freaking three to win 12-10. Bol ended his career with 43 3-pointers, once hitting 20 in one season. A 7-7 man hitting 3's is outrageous!

Top 5 TV Shows this year:

5. What about Brian? - Barry Watson is back after playing Matt on 7th Heaven. This show is actually really good and has some real issues dealing within the script such as grief and marital problems. Not bad for a drama involving Barry.

4. 24 - The show hasn't started yet and won't until the new year, but the thought of Jack Bauer back on TV makes the list.

3. Prison Break - If you haven't watched this show, get the first season and watch it. The second season is on now and it's pretty involved, which sucks for first time viewers. Incredible plot and twists that has you on edge for about 50 minutes of the entire show. I had to remember to breathe during last episode.

2. Studio 60 - The smartest comedy I've seen in a long time plus tackles issues such as homosexuality and gay marriage in a pretty decent way. Harriet, one of the shows main characters is a Christian but NBC doesn't give her that Christian stereotype that every other comedy has to in order to be funny. Very smart, very funny, but it's going to get canceled because for 2/3 of Americans it's too smart for them to get. Excellent, just like Arrested Development. Way to go you educated humorists.

1. The Office - Hands down the best show on television and it's only 30 minutes long. If you haven't watched it, I don't know what you're doing. It's simply the funnies, most awkward moments all caught in a series of outstanding film work and editing, plus great acting by virtual no-namers. Here's one of the funniest things I've seen in a while:

Listen....

I know that Devin Hester has moments where he is completely dumb, fielding a punt on the 4-yard line two weeks ago against the Dolphins. But he also does things that are so smart you think, "Did he really go to The U?" In case you missed it:

The BIG East

Ok, so Rutgers upset Louisville tonight making them a surprising 8-0. Talk is that they won't be in the BCS Championship Bowl game even if they finish the regular season undefeated. Yet, West Virginia now ranked #10, had they beat Louisville last week would be #3 nationally and if they finished the season undefeated then there wouldn't be much debate that they were "qualified" for the BCS game. Now, I think the playoff system debate isn't needed here. But what's the Big East hate? Is it because Rutgers isn't a powerhouse team or has ever had a good season? If it was Pitt that was 8-0 would this be different? Why?

Baseball Free Agency started a couple days ago and I love doing this a couple days in. Here is a team that could be assembled based on free agency only. If money were not an issue, which it isn't for maybe 3 teams in the league, here's what starting lineup you could have.

C- Robert Fick
1b. Frank Thomas
2b. Alfonso Soriano
3b. Aramais Ramirez
SS. Nomar Garciaparra
LF. Shannon Stewart
CF: Juan Pierre
RF: Carlos Lee
DH: Barry Bonds

SP: Jason Schmidt, Barry Zito, Jeff Weaver, Adam Eaton, a couple of #5 potentials
RP: Guillermo Mota, Octovio Dotel, Eric Gagne, Kerry Wood
