Foul on Wilbon

Michael Wilbon wrote a column June 26– five days ago- in which he reviewed the NBA draft and made repeated references to Amare Stoudemire having been traded from Phoenix to Golden State. No such trade has yet taken place, and with Golden State saying they won’t trade Stephen Curry, it’s looking like it probably won’t.
But what’s weird is that Wilbon, an NBA expert who is on ABC’s friggin’ coverage of the league, would miss something so major. And not only that, but it’s five days later and the column has not only not been corrected, but it doesn’t look like any blogger has noticed it either. What gives? Isn’t Deadspin normally all over this sort of thing?

Best Movies of the Half Year

“Up,” “(500) Days of Summer,” “Adventureland,” “Duplicity,” “Anvil: the Story of Anvil,” “Star Trek,” “The Hangover,” “Two Lovers,” “Observe and Report.”

Worst Movies of the Half Year

“Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” Really, that’s the whole list. I could name some other bad movies, but I wouldn’t want to insult the filmmakers of those by putting them on the same list as “Transformers.” After all, none of the other movies had robot testicles in them.

Yes, Microsoft Really Produced This Commercial

Clearly, Bill Gates’ entire career was building towards this, a new product to prevent your wife from discovering your porn habit at breakfast, and subsequently vomiting all over you:

Another great idea- don’t look at porn at the breakfast table.

Senator Franken

The Minnesota Supreme Court today unanimously ruled that Al Franken is the winner of the state’s long-disputed Senate race, coming to a conclusion that’s been obvious for several months. Franken thus becomes the first U.S. Senator from my hometown of St. Louis Park.
May he enjoy a glorious five-and-a-half-year term.

Meet Me in St. Louis

I’m off tonight to St. Louis, going with my dad to see the Twins both there and in Kansas City. I’ve never been to either city so I’m excited to go and see my team.
No more blogging until Tuesday, but I’ll likely be tweeting a bit, so check it out.
