I wonder what it’s like to be so joyless.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is none too happy with the NFL for scheduling the Cowboys playoff game at the same time as the Mavs’ home game against the Utah Jazz.
“I know we’re just little pissants compared to the NFL, but seriously, the NFL is turning into the ugly American when it comes to sports leagues. They don’t give a crap about anybody but themselves.”
— Mark Cuban, via ESPN.com
Cuban has a good point here. The Cowboys game didn’t have to be scheduled against the Mavs game, so why do it? The NFL easily could have held the ARI/GB game on Saturday and the DAL/PHI game on Sunday. (In case you’re wondering, the Suns don’t have a home game on Saturday.) This smells like a case of the NFL wanting the DAL/PHI game in primetime on the East Coast, so they decided to hold the game in primetime on the East Coast, Mavs be damned. In fact, I doubt the NFL even took the Mavs game into consideration. The NFL’s silence on the matter is telling.
Mike & Mike tackled this subject on their radio show…
Should the NFL take the NBA into consideration when scheduling playoff games?
Amidst all the bowls held on New Year’s Day, there’s a pretty good college basketball game that is flying under the radar: #6 West Virginia vs. #4 Purdue at 2:30 PM ET on ESPN. Enjoy.
This is a must-watch video from ESPN. Great job, people…
Gatorade is in the process of launching new ads and products for 2010 and was gracious enough to share exclusive behind the scenes video footage of Derek Jeter’s recent commercial shoot for Gatorade’s low-calorie sports drink “G2.”
Check it out:
As the story goes, Jeter was only required to do five of his popular jump throws and three slides for the commercial, but he told director Adam Berg that if he swallowed one spoonful of cinnamon that he’d do 10 jumps and six slides. Obviously Berg couldn’t muster the strength to get the full spoonful down!
Gatorade also gave us a sneak peak of the final G2 TV ad that will be airing soon:
That’s a great commercial – I love how the beat times up with what the athletes are doing.
