The Greatest NBA Player of All Time (Dirk Nowtizki) Made a Special Appearance on Conan Last Night
I think it’s safe to say Dirk is the most beloved German in the history of Texas, and god damnit he deserves it. But I’ll save my Dirk speech for this Friday night when I’m 10 beers deep. Conan is doing this week’s shows live from Dallas, Texas, so naturally Dallas’s big sports star administered the “official” Dallas Citizenship Test to Conan. I like how Dirk especially got a kick out of the Tony Romo answer. If Romo came on he’d get booed out of the building and fumble his cue cards and accidentally break his neck trying to pick them up. Not the Great Nowitzski. All time pro. And now we know Dirk is destined to be a famous TV star after his playing days are over. Poise and wit like you read about it.

In Honor of me Crying Myself to Sleep After ‘How I Met Your Mother’ Ended, Here are Great TV Show Endings
I’ll start by saying I thought that the ending of HIMYM was great. Great TV shows get you emotionally invested in the characters, and HIMYM did just that. Here are memorable TV show endings in no specific order.
(Not the final scene but my favorite part of the episode)
AND OF COURSE:
Johnny Gomes and Mike Napoli Looking GOOD at the White House
Couple of handsome fellas right there. I wanted to think I’d be surprised but I 100% expected Gomes to wear something loud and he did not disappoint. Napoli is his usual handsome bearded self as well. Also not surprised they took a picture in front of the portrait of Clinton. Party animals and renegades stick together.

Google Has a New Job Opening
Ok, so this is why I love Google. Google just put out a video promoting a job opening. What’s the job? Pokemon Master. Nope, I’m not kidding, although Google might be. For the sake of everything awesome I pray that this is a real thing and not just a April fool’s prank, although I expect the latter.
Google I accept your challenge.

It’s Officially the Best Time of the Year to Be a Wrestling Fan
Tonight is the final Raw before WrestleMania xxx, which means the best day of the year is only six days away. If Christmas and my birthday ever made sweet love then that beautiful baby would be WrestleMania. I think this psychotic Daniel Bryan speaks for all of us when he says COME ON MOTHERFUCKER, COME ON! Let’s take a look at what to expect tonight on RAW.
Cena/Wyatts
It’s safe to say that Cena hasn’t fought someone like Bray Wyatt in a long, long time. He’s not a superior “wrestler”. He’s not a giant or a strongman. He’s just a master manipulator who does not care if he wins or loses, as long as John Cena’s legacy is destroyed/he wears a sheep mask. Wyatt is the most enjoyable guy on WWE TV right now, mostly because his promo’s are out of this world. He’s proven he can hang in the ring, and all the “little things” he does (spider walk, scaring the fans at Elimination Chamber) are turning him into one of the most unique characters in recent memory. John Cena is John Cena. There’s nothing that can be said about him that hasn’t already been said. I actually like Cena, and I’d probably be rooting for him if he was facing anyone else besides Bray. You have to believe Cena will get the upper hand tonight, especially after last week, which hopefully leads to a Wyatt win next Sunday in New Orleans.
Undertaker/Brock Lesnar
This feud has been a little stale for me, but I guess when your fighting in your 22ND CONSECUTIVE WrestleMania match, it’s tough to build to a match without using some old tricks. Last week’s empty casket trick was predictable, and with the general consensus being that ‘Taker will win, something big needs to happen on Raw tonight to at least make people think Brock has a chance. The Undertaker usually puts everything he has into his WrestleMania match (which most of the time is his only match of the year). Add in the fact that Brock is the most agile monster in the history of the WWE, and I have a feeling this match is going to positively surprise everyone.
The Shield/The Authority
This feud/match really hinges on how well the New Age Outlaws can mesh with The Shield. Shield has proven they can go in the ring with just about everyone on the roster, and Kane is Kane. If Road Dogg and Billy Gunn can get their old asses around that ring, then this should be an enjoyable, albeit short lived feud that hopefully boosts The Shield up a peg. As a side note, I couldn’t be happier WWE decided to hold off on breaking up The Shield. It’ll happen eventually, because tag teams and factions in the WWE Universe do not last, but I’m glad they’ll get another WrestleMania moment together. WWE has done a great job focusing on each members strengths, which will help Reigns, Ambrose and Rollins when they go on singles runs. But for now, I’m still believing in The Shield.
HHH/Daniel Bryan/WrestleMania main event
The general consensus here is that Daniel Bryan will somehow get past HHH and beat Batista/Randy Orton in the main event to become the WWE World Heavyweight champion. This segment will probably end Raw, since the triple threat match will most likely end WrestleMania. I’m a lot more interested in the Daniel Bryan/HHH match, mostly because Batista has been amazingly underwhelming since returning and Orton, although he’s been solid, has become an afterthought. The departure of CM Punk has become a blessing in disguise, as there is no doubt that Bryan is the most popular guy in the company. If Punk was still there, he’d be fighting HHH, and Bryan would most likely be another entrant in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. Instead, Bryan has a chance to become the champ in the main event at the 30th anniversary of WrestleMania. Not too shabby. The only way I’ll accept a different outcome is if HHH takes off an invisible shirt and pedigrees Bryan on the cement floor.
As always, we’ll be live tweeting Monday Night Raw over on @averagenobodies. Come hang out and interact if you’ll be watching!
PS- Punk, you really screwed the pooch on this one. Not only are you done with the best wrestling company in the world but you are missing one HELL of a Mania. I hope sitting home in Chicago is worth the last few months of your contract.
2014 Boston Red Sox Season Begins in T-Minus 4 Hours
That video still gives me chills and if it doesn’t pump you up for Opening Day then you got no pulse, meng. The defending champs are in Baltimore to kick off the 2014 campaign and take the baby steps towards a repeat, something that no Red Sox team has ever accomplished. What a difference a year makes: last year at this time everyone had already written off the 2013 Red Sox as basement dwellers with an overmatched manager. Now the Red Sox are the defending champs with pretty much the same group of core guys as last year; add in some key pickups like Pierzynski and Mujica, plus the healthy return of Andrew Miller and the all star potential of Xander Bogaerts, and you have one hell of a team. The only thing that can derail this conquest is injuries, and you can never predict those. With every other contender in the AL East seemingly getting better, its going to take a consistent effort for the Sox to be a playoff contender come October. For now, I’m just happy warmer weather is coming our way, and the Boys of Summer are back together. LET’S GO SOX!
