The National Lampoon Sports Minute (Or So)
Written by Steve Hofstetter, Keith Alberstadt, Adam Hofstetter, Cody Marley, Rich Ragains, Elliot Steingart, and Chris Strait
At one point last week, the Dow Jones was down 400 points. And so were the Celtics. The Celtics actually won three games in a row last week, which brings their season total to two.
Tennessee men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl cheered the women's team from the student section while covered in body paint. Equally as surprising, women's coach Pat Summit wore a skirt.
In other March Madness news, Britney Spears is still in rehab.
HBO boxing announcer Jim Lampley has been given three years probation for domestic violence after giving an impressively detailed blow-by-blow account of his fight.
Thankfully, soccer star David Beckham will be able to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy despite injuring his knee. The MLS Beckham experiment came close to having a shorter shelf-life than the Spice Girls. NBC has given Victoria Beckham a new reality show about her moving the family from England to Los Angeles. Because soccer isn't boring enough.
In football, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beefed up their quarterback position, trading for Jake Plummer, signing Jeff Garcia, and exhuming the corpse of Otto Graham.
And the Dallas Cowboys cut Drew Bledsoe, because he's less mobile than a rotary phone. We're looking forward to next week, when Bledsoe gets waived by waivers.
