A couple thoughts:

1) These first four hours of 24 have been the greatest period of television ever produced. I have never felt more of an intense sense of shock and bewilderment than after the ending of the fourth episode. Excellent work to everyone involved.

2) In case you haven't heard, the Dodgers are turning the entire right field pavilion into an all-you-can-eat buffet next season. For $40 you can have unlimited Dodger Dogs, pretzels, nachos, popcorn, and anything else you can stuff your fat face with. Just another terrible idea approved by the McCourts. As if America wasn't fat enough, as if people in the right field pavilion weren't rowdy enough, now food fights and waistlines will quintuple.

3) Conference championship weekend in the NFL. Pats vs. Colts, Saints vs. Bears. My picks:
Colts 30, Pats 17
Saints 20, Bears 16

Superbowl XLI:
Saints 24, Colts 20

OK. So this probably won't happen. But it's nice to think, right? New Orleans deserves it.

4) A couple fiascoes occurred at this year's Golden Globes. First off, Grey's Anatomy beat 24 for best TV drama. Grey's is good, but definitely not better than 24 by any means. Unacceptable. Secondly, Dreamgirls beat Little Miss Sunshine for best musical/comedy. LMS was the best comedy I'd seen all year. Yes, better than Borat. I just don't see how Dreamgirls is better than either of those two. But whatever. This is why Golden Globes are forgotten about like the week-old cheeseburger in the back of the fridge. They don't matter because the Hollywood Foreign Press is stupid.

5) Stomp the Yard is #1 at the box office. All's right with the world.
