It's funny that you mentioned Pittsnoggle. I am also continually amazed by this "college stud who doesn't sniff the NBA" phenomenon, and he's the first example of this that comes to my mind, too.

As someone who watches a ton of CBB but only watches the NBA once the playoffs start, I have just come to the lazy conclusion that I simply don't understand the pro game as well as I assume I should. 

2010-2011 Duke had 6 first-rounders (of 8 total drafted).  All are names you know:

Plumlee brothers (2x), Seth Curry, Kyle Singler, and all-world Kyrie Irving

Singler had 17/8/2.  Kyrie had 18/3/4.  But the team's leading scorer? Nolan Smith, at 21/5/5.  I've never even heard of his name.  Started 4 games in the NBA and disappeared after 2 seasons.  Atleast he got drafted...

I signed up for a website that asked me to list my favorite TV personality. Not actor or movies. TV. I sat there for several minutes and couldn’t think of anyone. So then I Googled TV personalities. 

A list of hundred people came up. I scanned the list. The entire list. I realized there wasn’t one person on that list that I would be proud to call my favorite. Even stranger, many of the people on the list were pathetic individuals that I hated, people like Jerry Springer. Who’s your favorite TV personality?

Conan. Shaq. Barkley. Dick Vitale. Brooke Burke and Jules Asner. Some cooking people

[tbone_ 14165]

Old school Letterman. Johnny Carson maybe.

[52-80 19252]

if the definition of tv personality means a person notable for TV work (ie broadcast), but excludes celebrity status from other previous endeavors (athletics, movies, other crafts), then that list is very small to nil.

an example would be like Jeff Probst who hosts survivors... hes known because of that TV show but not for anything else. 

...people like Mike Rowe maybe, or the stupid dorks from Mythbusters.

Those were the exact two that came to my mind. Old school letterman was awesome. And then he got cynical, nasty, and political. 
Carson was the epitome of 60s-70s cool.

This 100%.  Loved Letterman in the 80’s.  Carson is still the GOAT.

Interestingly, none of those names except for Conan were on the list I reviewed. Conan was the one guy that came to mind when I first thought about it, but it felt weird to call him my favorite. I rarely watched his shows. I liked them. Just never watched them.

So do tv characters count or just “personalities?”

Because I don’t give two shits about tv personalities. Can’t name a single one I’d call a favorite

But Adam from Northern Exposure and Jeff Bingham are my favorite characters

I didn’t think the eclipse was a big deal, but why do so many people feel the need to rant against people who did? Local sports radio jock went off on it yesterday, calling people stupid for caring so much about something he considered lame, then had a 30 minute segment on golf. I found it hilarious because lots of people, including sports fans like myself, think golf is lame as shit, but that’s just my personal opinion. Let people like what they like for fucks sake.

From my office. I had a clear view from my window and had my glasses. We had 95% here and it got dim and spooky for a bit. Was kinda cool.

[Horn_Spanker 524]

Went to pick up a prescription and was told it would be $67.  Why so high?  Insurance doesn't like the quantity of 20.  Took out two and the price dropped to $2.

WTF?

Ah. You watched a partial eclipse through your office window. No wonder you didn’t get it. Sorry you missed the totality. It’s a completely different experience. There's no comparison.

People bragging about how they "saw the totality!" sound exactly like the "I saw that band live!". People. Yeah, you and millions of others. You ain't special.
