The Internets: Cannon-related injury?
Posted on August 19th, 2008 – 4:41 PMBy Michael Rand
Newbie asks this question: does U of Miami QB Cannon Smith’s leg problem count as a “cannon-related injury?”
*Frequent reader and former frequent commenter Smitty passes along information for all you BMX Bike lovers out there: if you want to watch the Olympic BMX finals on Wednesday (and aren’t participating in the RandBall Fantasy Football Draft), you can check out this site for more information on a local destination.
*Will Leitch: the anti-Sports Guy. HT: HHR.
*Cutest commercial ever, says Don S., for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
*Ernest Borgnine’s secret for aging well (if you haven’t seen it already, from Tuna Can).

I can see how your first and last point could result in a cannon-related injury, but the others?
RE: Cutest Commercial Ever
Those kids are old enough to be on China’s Gymnastics team.
I should live to be 103.
Commercial: I was trying to think of a clumsy Wild hockey player I could mention after seeing the kid fall. I fail at NHL!

I knew Leitch was going there after his Pro Wrasslin’ hot dog shtick with Bissinger on the Costas show.
Perspective: There are indie bands who sell out. And there are indie bands who are afforded the opportunity (after paying their just dues) to cash out. We should give the same props to those like Leitch (and the Flaming Lips and - for those of you who like them - the Foo Fighters) who deserve a little positive payback.
For the same reason we should not give those props to Coldplay. Sorry gals.
Thanks for the mention, RB. The BMX qualifying rounds on NBC Late Night surpassed my expectations for competitiveness and excitement. USA qualified all 3 riders into the semifinals - though one of them, Kyle Bennett, separated his shoulder in the last prelim. I can’t see Bennett being a factor today. Still - the semis and Finals should be exciting & anything can happen. Super Rookie - I better see you at our party at Champions unless you are fantasy drafting!
