Bizarre Bit of Trivia for the Day

Willard Scott "invented" Ronald McDonald. And yes, that Willard Scott. Apparently he acted as a local Bozo the Clown in D.C., too. He put Bozo to bed and then came Ronald. I wonder if Joel McHale knows this tidbit....

Now, how does a clown become a weather man? I think Joel would turn around and ask how a weather man becomes a clown, then roll some footage of Al Roker.

Dear Rockies Fans,

You utterly disappointed me tonight. Hey, look - I get it was cold. Really cold. Trust me, I know...my hands were almost numb by the end. But that is no excuse to be as pathetically lame as you were this evening. (And really, I'm not buying the cold thing....most of you spend many freezing cold afternoons at Broncos games, so this was a walk in the park.)

Has anyone ever explained post-season behavior to you? You cheer for your team. You clap. You swing that silly damn towel around your head. You do not boo your own players. You STAND UP IN THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH INNING. And you surely do not tell others around you to sit down in said half-inning. Hello....these are the moments that make or break the whole season.

See you next year, and in better form, I hope,
Kelly

Dear Jason Giambi,

I've really hated you. Some of that may have had to do with being on the Yankees in general, and a lot of had to do with your general attitude and swagger. I'd like to apologize. You earned your swagger for sure; man, you sure are clutch and came through tonight with another great hit at the perfect time.

Honestly, the tide started to turn a while back. I think you are one of the few in baseball today who has handled the steriod issue with true grace. You were straight forward and honest, and that does count for something.

Truly,
Kelly

P.S. I just gotta tell you, too, how much I love the moustache look you sported for us this year. It was a little hilarious because you looked like the Big Bad Other Team Meanie from that horrendous "Rookie of the Year" movie (you know, the one with the kid pitching for the Cubs and John Candy as the announcer). It was also scary as hell because you look like someone who might just beat the living shit out of someone in an alley who looked at you the wrong way. Nice work!
