Stuff to Do Part 4 and Updates on, effectively, Day Eight.

Will add to this as day goes on:
  • Keith Olbermann is adding to the "celebs on social media" thing with something he used to do at CNBC:
  • For those who want to laugh at rampant Jordan-jocking, even in today's day and age, I present ESPN's Greatest College Basketball Player Of All Time Tournament.
In the need of creating programming, ESPN has concocted a 64-person public-voting tournament (men and women) to crown the greatest college basketball player of all time.  The bracket is being released on an extended SportsCenter as I type (about 4:55 PM PDT).

When I see Magic Johnson as a 3 seed in a "region" in which Patrick Ewing is the 2...  Makes me wonder who the other three #1s are, because we damn well good and well know who one of them is...

EDIT TO ADD 5:40 PM PDT:  Alcindor/Kareem, Bill Walton, and Brianna Stewart.

And Laettner?  You mean to tell me they actually made an ESPN poll tournament and didn't put their Tin God Fucking Foolish and Wretched One-Dimensional Ballhog as a 1 seed?  Will wonders never cease!

2 seed in the Midwest.  One vote for Nancy Lieberman, coming up!
  • More on the "celebs on social media" vein.  An all-star video concert is streaming as I type and wrapping up in the next couple of hours.  It includes Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Edie Brickell, and Jewel.  It is a fundraiser for various charities of the group, and others involved.  Since you probably won't read this until the event is over, I will put up it's Twitch channel and let you see if they put the video up on that channel afterward.

More to come...
