Who is Ken Jennings

2006-07-26T12:53:00.000-07:00

Because of a rather dim journalist, I became aware of Ken Jennings's Blog. In this article, Michael Starr references a Jennings's Blog which seemingly criticizes Jeopardy, the game show that brought him fame and fortune. Apparently, the not-so-subtle humor was missed. Jennings later clarified his remarks in this statement:

"For the record: I've loved `Jeopardy!' since I was a kid, as anyone who talks to me for about five minutes knows. Making goofy jokes about TV shows isn't `bashing.' I believe it's the whole reason Al Gore invented the Internet."

I've been looking for an entertaining blog to read ever since perennial NBA bench warmer Paul Shirley took his blog Hollywood.

Nice Serve

2006-06-15T12:50:00.000-07:00

So last Friday, I played tennis with Hubert, Chang, and Jeremy who's been in town visiting for the past week (Chang has the recap of everything we've been up to). When we arrived at stadium court at Stanford, who should be there but none other than legendary tennis coach Dick Gould. After warming up for a few minutes, we played some doubles, Hubert and Jeremy against Chang and me. At the same time, Gould was setting up and testing out ball machines, so he'd pass by our court every now and then. During the match, I served out wide, placing it in the corner of the service box for a winner. As Gould passed by, he commented, "Nice serve".

Chang made me a logo, capturing my "nice serve".
Damn, that is one sweet serve.

Name this movie...

Here's a fun time waster. It's an excel file, which has movie scenes, but the characters are wiped out (so the clothing looks like it's floating), and you have to guess the movie. I didn't check it for viruses or anything, so use at your own risk. My harddrive didn't reformat or anything, so I guess that's something.

Anyway, without further ado, here it is: link

With the first selection in the NBA Draft...

2005-11-01T00:14:00.000-08:00

This past Sunday, we kicked off (or should I say tipped off? Wait, no, no, kicked off is correct) the third season of Survivor Fantasy NBA. The previous years winners were Dan and Hubert.

Survivor basketball works like this. Players earn fantasy points based on points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers, field goals missed and free throws missed. The team with the fewest points at the end of the month gets eliminated, and his players are available for redraft in reverse order of the current rankings. Last man standing at the end of the NBA season is the Chevrolet Survivor Fantasy Basketball Champion and wins the keys to a brand new Chevy truck.

With that said, here's my analysis of the 2005 draft:

Round 1
1.	K. Garnett	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	Well, it's either him or Lebron.
2.	L. James	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	Since I have KG and LBJ about the same, sweet value here.
3.	K. Bryant	Whoosh (Jeremy)
4.	S. Marion	Rapscallions (Dan)	With Amare out, Marion's numbers should improve. In Survivor, you only worry how well your team does short term.
5.	D. Nowitzki	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	No surprise, a solid pick here. If he gets center eligibility, he's a steal here.
6.	T. McGrady	Tossers (Andrew)
7.	T. Duncan	trix are for kids (Hubert)	Duncan's numbers are declining, but he is the best center out there, for now.
Round 2
8.	A. Iverson	trix are for kids (Hubert)
9.	G. Arenas	Tossers (Andrew)
10.	A. Kirilenko	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	AK is a great rotisserie player. In our point system, he's a bit high here, since there are 20 pt scorers available. I do like the fact he's only 24 years old, though.
11.	D. Wade	Rapscallions (Dan)	He certainly proved himself last year, but with the addition of Jason Williams, he's complained that he hasn't touched the ball enough. I'm guessing that chucker Antoine is part of the problem too. A lot of upside if the additions don't hinder him.
12.	S. Nash	Whoosh (Jeremy)	Will Nash's scoring increase with Amare out? Will his assists stay the same? Like AK, Nash is a better roto player than he is points player. I think he's high here as he's a 15-10 guy, and there are still 20-10 guys available.
13.	S. Marbury	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)
14.	J. Kidd	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	There's news that there will be a reduction in his minutes this year to keep him healthy.
Round 3
15.	P. Pierce	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)
16.	Y. Ming	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	I think he's soft and I'm always disappointed with his numbers. I'd rather have a solid 20-10 guy here.
17.	J. O'Neal	Whoosh (Jeremy)	24 pts and 8 rebounds, last year. He's only getting better. Nice pick here.
18.	B. Davis	Rapscallions (Dan)
19.	S. Francis	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)
20.	E. Brand	Tossers (Andrew)	The prototypical 20-10 guy.
21.	V. Carter	trix are for kids (Hubert)	Vince had huge numbers last year. How will they look with RJ in the mix for a full season? Look at last year's playoffs, VC appears OK. My instinct is to stay away.
Round 4
22.	S. O'Neal	trix are for kids (Hubert)	Expect 20-10, but only when his big toe isn't hurting.
23.	B. Miller	Tossers (Andrew)
24.	R. Allen	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	A decent pick here. 30 fantasy pts before taxes.
25.	P. Stojakovic	Rapscallions (Dan)	I think this pick is high for any type of fantasy league.
26.	P. Gasol	Whoosh (Jeremy)	Great pick here. I think he'll be a 20-10 guy this year.
27.	M. Bibby	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	Nice pick.
28.	M. Ginobili	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	Too high here, considering SA just added another scorer in Finley.
Round 5
29.	L. Hughes	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	Will Hughes be as good as he was last year? What I'm saying is, he's risky.
30.	R. Artest	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)
31.	E. Okafor	Whoosh (Jeremy)	A 15-10 center. Not bad. .
32.	R. Lewis	Rapscallions (Dan)	Too high. He scores but doesn't do much else. He needs to avg 30ppg to be useful. I don't think that will happen this year.
33.	Z. Ilgauskas	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	I think he'll produce the same as Yao, which makes this a good pick, and the Yao pick bad.
34.	C. Maggette	Tossers (Andrew)
35.	C. Bosh	trix are for kids (Hubert)	I like the pick, I wish I had gotten Bosh.
Round 6
36.	L. Odom	trix are for kids (Hubert)
37.	D. Howard	Tossers (Andrew)
38.	Z. Randolph	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	Another 20-10 guy. Good value here.
39.	R. Jefferson	Rapscallions (Dan)
40.	J. Richardson	Whoosh (Jeremy)	Good numbers last year. Good value here.
41.	B. Wallace	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	I think there are other centers who will be available in later rounds that can produce the same fantasy points.
42.	S. Abdur-Rahim	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	Too high, his role isn't very well defined yet. Will Kenny Thomas start over him?
Round 7
43.	C. Billups	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	A blah pick.
44.	M. Redd	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)
45.	C. Boozer	Whoosh (Jeremy)	He was gonna be a 20-10 guy before injuries. I like the pick.
46.	C. Anthony	Rapscallions (Dan)
47.	A. Jamison	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	Good pick here. 20-7 guy. Not bad.
48.	J. Howard	Tossers (Andrew)	High here for a guy who avg 12ppg last year. I'll now defend my pick, saying, he's the second scoring option in Dallas, and is an explosive player, and I wanted to make sure I got him.
49.	J. Johnson	trix are for kids (Hubert)
Round 8
50.	C. Webber	trix are for kids (Hubert)	I don't like this pick. He may produce, but he's a pussy.
51.	C. Paul	Tossers (Andrew)
52.	B. Gordon	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)
53.	A. Iguodala	Rapscallions (Dan)	Another swing and miss for autodrafter. Iggy's got potential, will he produce enough to warrant this pick this year? I think not.
54.	Ku. Thomas	Whoosh (Jeremy)
55.	R. Wallace	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	Good pick here.
56.	K. Korver	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	Bad pick here. Korver gets a bit of each stat, but those don't add up to too much in pt scoring.
Round 9
57.	W. Szczerbiak	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	This boy is white too. Scott's obviously on autodraft.
58.	M. Camby	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)
59.	B. Simmons	Whoosh (Jeremy)	I like this pick. Simmons has the SF role sewn up.
60.	J. Terry	Rapscallions (Dan)
61.	M. Peterson	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	Is he even starting? He finished strong last year, but no word this year.
62.	A. Miller	Tossers (Andrew)
63.	K. Hinrich	trix are for kids (Hubert)
Round 10
64.	A. Harrington	trix are for kids (Hubert)	He'll be more valuable once he's on a different team. Otherwise, I'm not big on him since the roster became even more crowded. I think he'll be the odd man out.
65.	R. Hamilton	Tossers (Andrew)
66.	E. Curry	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	Curry's got potential. Will he do better this year than Primo or Nenad? Eh. Too high.
67.	J. Crawford	Rapscallions (Dan)
68.	D. Gooden	Whoosh (Jeremy)
69.	J. Childress	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	Props to the Stanford pick.
70.	M. Okur	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)
Round 11
71.	C. Mobley	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)
72.	I. Diogu	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)
73.	S. Jackson	Whoosh (Jeremy)
74.	D. Stoudamire	Rapscallions (Dan)
75.	K. Martin	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	Nice pick, Kmart could be 20-10.
76.	J. Smith	Tossers (Andrew)	Which J. Smith is this? Doesn't matter, they all rock.
77.	A. Walker	trix are for kids (Hubert)	You have no dignity when you draft this chucker.
Round 12
78.	T. Murphy	trix are for kids (Hubert)	Damn you, I figured with Murphy so low on Yahoo! Rankings I could get him at pick 79. Great pick, bastard.
79.	P. Brown	Tossers (Andrew)	I got stuck with this loser. With Magloire in Milwaukee, his numbers could improve slightly. He's a very boring pick though.
80.	M. Miller	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	These next 7 picks are hella boring.
81.	J. Tinsley	Rapscallions (Dan)
82.	T. Parker	Whoosh (Jeremy)
83.	M. Daniels	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)
84.	D. Marshall	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)
Round 13
85.	R. LaFrentz	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)
86.	E. Dampier	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)
87.	T. Chandler	Whoosh (Jeremy)	He's got potential, I like him better than the picks above, simply because he's got potential.
88.	G. Hill	Rapscallions (Dan)	He's gimped. Bad choice, autodrafter.
89.	J. Rose	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	Nice pick.
90.	B. Wells	Tossers (Andrew)	Bonzi could bust out.
91.	Q. Richardson	trix are for kids (Hubert)	Way to grab the greedy bastards.
Round 14
92.	R. Davis	trix are for kids (Hubert)	The greediest of the greedy.
93.	M. Sweetney	Tossers (Andrew)	He's done well in preseason, but he hasn't gotten a lot of minutes.
94.	M. Dunleavy	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	Nice pick.
95.	E. Jones	Rapscallions (Dan)
96.	T. Prince	Whoosh (Jeremy)	Haha, you took Tayshaun. As Hubert put it, Jeremy "put this guy out of his misery". This guy was very high on Yahoo! Rankings. Damn Excel, stop freaking capitalizing stuff for me!
97.	A. Bogut	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	Bad pick. I don't think you'll be around long enough to use him.
98.	S. Cassell	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)
Round 15
99.	C. Butler	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)
100.	B. Knight	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	Hehe, you won't use him, but I like the pick.
101.	D. Mason	Whoosh (Jeremy)
102.	R. Alston	Rapscallions (Dan)
103.	L. Ridnour	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)
104.	J. Przybilla	Tossers (Andrew)	Is this guy starting? Why'd I pick him?
105.	J. Magloire	trix are for kids (Hubert)	Nice pick. He's gonna be the starter in Milwaukee at first. Which is all we care about in this league.
Round 16
106.	D. Williams	trix are for kids (Hubert)
107.	A. Jefferson	Tossers (Andrew)
108.	A. Stoudemire	I'm a F****** Badass (Chang)	See the Bogut comment.
109.	J. Williams	Rapscallions (Dan)
110.	C. Kaman	Whoosh (Jeremy)	I like the pick. I wish I had gotten Kaman.
111.	B. Cardinal	Gimp's Gimps (Gerald)	Brian Cardinal. Please. Even though this is the second to last pick, it still sucks.
112.	J. Nelson	Bacon-eating Hobbits (Scott)	A lot of upside, I like the pick.
