So What Are We Supposed to Think Now?

by Bill Hubbell

Don’t think anything. Think whatever you thought before the series started. You are going to listen to way too many talking heads dissect game two and try to come up with conclusions that are premature. The only thing we know is that each team has won a game. The series is going to go at least five games. Lebron is the best player on the floor. If Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili combine for 5 baskets again, the Spurs will probably lose.

I just want to hear the post-game breakdown talk between the producer and my man, Steve Javie. “I thought your second word was better than your third, but all four of them were pretty good. Good job, good effort.”

 

Ted Chaough’s Undershirt Has an “S” on the Chest

Ted Chaough: “Don’t be an asshole, Don.”

You can say this to Don Draper in Don Draper’s office, and still leave with a handshake, if you save the life of his (latest) mistress’ son. It’s good to be Ted Chaough.

Don soothes Linda Cardellini, then reminds her that two of her fellow “Freaks and Geeks” alums are on the cover of this week’s Rolling Stone (Seth Rogen and James Franco). And then she begins crying again.

If I told you that in game two nobody on the Heat would score 20 points, what would you have answered back?:

  1. They probably got killed
  2. Why are you talking to me, I don’t even know you?
  3. Who cares I’m watching Mad Men
  4. What were Steve Javie’s thoughts?

Tony Death Montage; No Sign of Tiago Splitter

By Greg Auman

I’m fairly certain that Sally Field and Matthew Broderick are wearing matching glasses. … Billy Porter has the best acceptance speech so far — personal, emotional and still quick. To his co-star: “I share this award with you. I’m going to keep it at my house, but I share it with you.” … Matthew Morrison gets to introduce the death montage — Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” over those lost in the past year. Marvin Hamlisch might have won the Applause-o-Meter, though Jean Stapleton opened the list memorably. …

Mad Men: Juiced!

Sunkist versus Ocean Spray.

Ted Chaough: “I don’t want his juice, I want my juice.” I can’t wait for Joan to barge through the doors and announce that she just had lunch with the CFO of Capri-Sun.

Mitchell Rosen will go on to found The Strokes. Or at least give birth to someone who will.
