CALDWELL'S ECW TV REPORT 2/5: Ongoing coverage of Sci-Fi HD show
ECW TV Super Tuesday Report February 5, 2008 in Corpus Christi, Tex. Year 2, Week 35 (Week 87 overall) on Sci-Fi In-ring: They opened with C.M. Punk coming to the ring dressed in street clothes. No fake moustache this week, unfortunately. Punk took the mic and recapped last week's fiesta for Chavo Guerrero and his own subsequent party-crashing. After the video aired, Punk had a good laugh and pantomimed wearing a fake 'stache. He then got serious and said he wants his title re-match right here, tonight. Chavo came out on stage and showed off the ECW Title belt around his waist. He then slowly made his way to the ring and said that was really that Punk dressed up as a Crazy Mariachi to crash his party. Punk laughed and said that's a good one to use for what C.M. stands for. Chavo cut him off and said Punk won't get his re-match until the No Way Out PPV.
Ferrell taking timeout from sports movies
Colleagues noticed. "I thought, 'I don't want to be Dan Rather, I want to be Chevy Chase,' " he said. The career decision has worked out reasonably well, but he never stopped being a fan. He often attends USC football games and tries to catch the Dodgers or Lakers. His celebrity makes it complicated. "I'm on that sideline at SC games, and it's always amazing, it can be like fourth-and-inches, the game is on the line and someone is like, 'Can I get your picture real quick?' " he said. "I'm like, 'You know, can we wait until a timeout?' " Ferrell is not quite old enough to have been a fan of the ABA, so he has no emotional connection to it -- unlike director Kent Alterman, whose family had Spurs season tickets and at one game early in their NBA days was so obnoxious he provoked the Celtics' Dave Cowens to come after him.
Paris in the City of Brotherly Love
Paris Hilton headed to a mall in Philadelphia yesterday to do some promotional work for her upcoming movie The Hottie and the Nottie. She played with one of our favorite toys, the fabulous Flip camcorder while she chatted it up with local radio stations. Paris also met lots of screaming fans, and when asked about her appeal, she said, "I think maybe it's because I'm real. People can relate to me. They see things that have happened in my life. And that I'm sweet. I feel that when you truly are a good person, it will shine through in your eyes - shine through from your heart to your eyes - and people will see that. Princess Diana, who I love, she had that." Somehow, "real" isn't the first word that comes to mind when we think of Paris, but we do give her credit for heading to the mall to meet fans instead of hitting the stores.
How bad? Historically so!
Do you people even watch the games? We held a team averaging 75 a game to 51 AT THEIR PLACE. I realize this is all going to fall on deaf/ignorant ears, but I at least want to inform some of the people who don't watch the games how idiotic some of this stuff is getting. .
Man, 70, charged over teenager's 1961 murder
A 70-year-old man appeared in court yesterday charged with the murder of a teenager that took place nearly 50 years ago. The charge is the latest example of a growing number of "cold cases" being reinvestigated and brought to trial. Antony Hall, of no fixed abode, appeared at Birmingham magistrates court charged with the murder of Jacqueline Marie Thomas, 15, in August 1961. He spoke only to confirm his name and was remanded in custody by Judge Christopher Johnson to appear at Birmingham crown court on December 6. Thomas, who worked at the local Hughes biscuit factory and was one of eight sisters, was last seen at a funfair in Ward End, Birmingham, on August 18 1961. She had gone to the fair ground with a group of friends and was said to have been talking to a young man at about 10.30pm that night.
Prep basketball: Salisbury 57, Monroe 48
MONROE Salisbury's coaches, more so than the players, understand the significance of a second-round win. Brandon Abel had 18 points and nine rebounds to lead the Hornets to a 57-48 road victory against Monroe, the Rocky River Conference's top seed, in a 2A boys sectional semifinal Thursday night. Abel scored 12 second-half points and Ibn Ali posted seven of his 11 points in the fourth quarter as Salisbury secured back-to-back playoff wins for the first time since 1994. Assistant coach Marvin Dixon was the second-leading scorer on that Salisbury team, which fell in a sectional final. Head coach Jason Causby was a West Rowan reserve that same season, and the Falcons prevailed in a sectional final before losing in a regional semifinal. "That's dating it there," Causby said.
Win-starved Canucks host Blackhawks
The Vancouver Canucks need a win, badly. After losing nine of their last 11 outings, the beleaguered NHL team has slipped out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Canucks left-winger Daniel Sedin leads Vancouver with 56 points (24 goals and 32 assists).(Mark Humphrey/Associated Press) The Canucks have a good chance to get back in the win column, facing off at General Motors Place on Sunday (10 p.m. ET) against the 28th-place Chicago Blackhawks, losers of five of their last six. But the Canucks will have to overcome some obstacles, including being cursed at GM Place, where they've lost five of six games, including 6-2 Saturday to the Colorado Avalanche. Then there's the injury-ridden Canucks blue-line. Willie Mitchell has missed nine games with a fractured vertebra, and Kevin Bieksa is out with a lacerated calf.
Canada's Rochette skates to silver
Canada's Joannie Rochette won silver at the Four Continents figure-skating championships in Goyang, South Korea, on Saturday. The Île Dupas, Que., native gave her season's best skate for 119.50 points in the long program, raising her overall score to 179.54. Joannie Rochette, left, says she's "very happy" with her silver-medal performance at the Four Continents figure-skating championships.(Lee Jin-man/Associated Press) Rochette took bronze at the Four Continents last year. Rochette opened her routine, performed to Don Juan, with a solid triple Lutz-double toe-double loop combination followed by a triple flip and a triple loop. She then landed a triple Lutz and a triple Salchow before she went for a triple toe-triple Salchow sequence.
Johnny Neihu's NewsWatch: Of mice, macking and rowdy losers
VALENTINE'S DAY HAS, mercifully, past. Not that I care much -- my gal Cathy Pacific's a traditional, stinky tofu-eating, oamisua-slurping Taiwanese dame who's too ... er ... advanced in years to much care about such Western trivialities. That's not the case for millions of young Taiwanese whippersnappers, who take the imported "holiday" as an opportunity to pile all sorts of additional social pressures on themselves -- as if there weren't enough of the home-grown variety already. And not all of them are happy about it, at least judging by a recent Associated Press (AP) story entitled "Single men at home in their digital world: Taiwanese chase computer games rather than skirts." The article's a bit thin on context, to say the least. It doesn't mention, for example, that what the AP translates as "home boys" (zhainan, vk) is borrowed directly from the Japanese otaku.
Senator Feingold Charts Course
We really need a national policy on it. We're going to be in a real fight on this one but it is bipartisan. The Clean Water Restoration Act is to take us back to that authority. Others will say that it tries to create new, broader authority than before. But we were very emphatic and careful that that's what this really is. The opposition, I think, is trying to push back the clock to before 1972. So this is an important battle. On the presidential line-item veto I've always been a Democrat who supports the idea of a reasonable line-item veto for the president. I don't want the Wisconsin "Vanna White," "Frankenstein," whatever the latest name is for it. I think that's nuts. But I do want the president to say, "Here's a bill and these 15 things were shoved in at the last minute and I'd like you guys to vote on it as a separate package." Now I did support John McCain's efforts on this in the past.
Anglo-Saxon treasures will stay in region - vow
STUNNING Anglo-Saxon jewellery discovered on a North-East farm will not be lost to the British Museum, in London, it was pledged yesterday. The Government quashed fears of a battle to display the Loftus Saxon treasures to parallel the bitter row over the Lindisfarne Gospels. Instead, Culture Minister Margaret Hodge vowed that the collection, found at a burial site uncovered last year near Loftus, east Cleveland, would go on show in a North-East museum. She said grants were available to help the museum, probably The Kirkleatham, near Redcar, meet the estimated £75,000 bill to buy them. The find, unearthed by archaeologists from Tees Archaeology, includes gold and silver brooches dating from the Seventh Century, possibly connected with the kings of Northumbria.
