no, probably not but.... some quality matchups today. first up tottenham v. chelsea at 11am on fsc. they are two of the top six teams in the english premier league. and no, i have no idea where tottenham is. chelsea won the premier league last year. at 230 from italy, lazio faces juventus pitting two of the top four team in serie a also on fsc. and goltv has two la liga games the better of the two has barcelona playing real sociedad. that would be one vs eight starting at 250.
today at noon knick fans will greet carmelo anthony with a basket of kisses as the denver nuggets play at the garden. melo is another top player flirting with new york fans hearts. his contract is up soon and he has expressed an interest to be traded here. denver has said he will either resign or be traded by the deadline in february. the knicks are suddenly relevant again as their consolation prize in the lebron sweepstakes, amare stoudemire has the team winning consistently against the lesser teams putting them in the playoff picture for the first time in a decade. amare has also come out as a jew which must make him a popular figure on the nyc bar mitzvah circuit.
and finally on a rainy day in secaucus, the jets hope to wash away the execrable taste in their mouth from their thrashing on monday night by the patriots. it was really the kind of beat down that can only be forgotten by avenging the lost should they meet again in the playoffs. it was that ugly.

"According to Vice, The Vice Guide To Everything, is their "new MTV show about the absurdity of the modern condition: the most interesting people, news, sub-cultures and rituals on the planet.

The premise of Storage Wars revolves around the fact that the United States has many thousands of square miles of storage space, enough to house every man, woman, and child in the country seven times over, according to the opening credits sequence. These storage units make their money by renting out their space to people who have things they need secured, of course, but the single biggest way they lose money is from people defaulting on their rent. If someone doesn't pay rent on a storage unit for more than three months, then everything inside that unit becomes the property of the storage company. The items are auctioned off but not piece by piece. Instead, the company hires an auctioneer to sell whole UNITS, and various pawn shop owners, consignment specialists, and other scavengers descend on the auctions to hope they'll find treasure packed in the back of these units. But they're not allowed to step inside the units during inspection, nor are they allowed to open up sealed boxes. The buyers are only allowed to buy the unit based on what they think they can see standing outside of it.
