Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea

Well today is an especially sad day, one of the true greats of modern cinema has passed from this world. Patrick Cranshaw of Fort Worth, Texas died yesterday, sending shockwaves through the Hollywood community. You might know Mr. Cranshaw by a different name: Blue. Thats right, Blue from Old School is no longer with us. I will be forever indebtted to his contributions to cinema. You're my boy, blue.

I promised New Years resolutions, but I think I'm going to put those off until next week.

• If you wonder why Mike Leach is fast becoming my favorite coach in college football, here's why.

While I was on the subject of media yesterday, I thought I'd list a few of my favorite announcers in sports:

• Marv Albert and Steve Kerr (TNT basketball)- both very knowledgeable, but they don't beat you over the head with theur "insider" knowledge. And nobody gets excited better than Marv. Yesssssss!
• Kevin Harlan (TNT basketball, CBS football)- while I feel his basketball partner Doug Collins really drags him down, nobody makes a bad game sound better than Harlan. I love listneing to him get worked up over everything.
• Keith Jackson and Dan Fouts (ABC college football)- Jackson sounds like your wise old grandfather, you can hear the experiences and great moments he's seen in his voice. He always sounds like he's on top of it, even when he messes up a name or two. Fouts is a professional too, never over-talking.
• Its tough to pick a favorite baseball announcer, only because the only national voices I get to hear are the awful Tim McCarver and Joe Buck. Guess I'd go with the local radio guys, Eric Nadel and Victor Rojas on the Rangers broadcast.
• Ralph Strangis and Razor Reaugh (Dallas Stars hockey)- Even if I'm not really into a Stars game, I'll listen just for the chemistry between these two. Razor is seriously one of the funniest men in sports, and if you dont believe me check this out.

Thats it, have a safe and happy New Year. Kiss someone at midnight.
