Dear E. Shore: How great is Championship Week?

Great question. Very insightful.  Short answer:  Are you shitting me?  
 
E-Shore thinks someone needs to tell you (and ESPN) that the buildup week to the tournament is ‘not’ the tournament. The day America starts having Colonial Conference brackets in the office, tell me I’m wrong.  

Hey, I wonder who Joe Linardi thinks is ‘just in, or just out’. Let’s watch ESPN, during the morning when no games are even played, because I’m sure something happened in the last 5 minutes to dramatically change this guy’s list.  
 
Big East, not televised today. SEC, already don’t care. Big 11, sure to set back hoops 10 years. Championship Week is the second worst thing about tourney buildup. No. 1 is CBS’ nine hour Selection Sunday.  Televised fishing thinks that action is god-awful.
 

‘I wonder if Bryant Gumbel will say something stupi—too late, he did.’

Dear E. Shore: Could Shaq really end up on the Cavs?

Of course.  And not only could he, he should.  
 
Forget the basketball side, where a motivated Shaq would make tremendous sense. The Cavs need interior presence. And Bron Bron will give Shactus five easy buckets a game.  

However (cue Stephen A), what I can’t wait to watch is the inevitable ‘bad Shaq’.  After they win, he’ll stop trying, get ‘injured’ on company time, then throw everyone he gravy-trained off, under the bus. Unlike Kobe, Wade, and Nash, this time LJ23 isn’t small.  

Dude may get in a few licks on the Diesel.  That I need to see.  PPV even.
 

‘Sadly, his best movie.’
 
 
Dear E. Shore: How long til TO goes off the rails in B’lo?

Rails? NFL?  Someone get me Travis Henry.
 
I love TO.  I think he is the coolest person ever from planet TO, population crazy.  Bills fans, stop thinking about this emotionally, and listen to me. Let’s look at the facts.

Fact:  Dude is a great football player.  

Fact:  Dude will always be in killer shape.  Fact:  Dude has never murdered his wife over forgotten sunglasses.  Fact: Dude will have a great year playing for a contract.  

Fact:  Dude will ruin team chemistry and possibly a QB’s psyche.

Fact:  You’re Buffalo, so who cares.  In that division, in the AFC conference, you had no real shot, so at least now you’re watchable.

Dear E. Shore: Will A-Rod ever be the same post surgery?

No, but he may finally win.
 
OK, serious answer, yeah.  If for no other reason than this guy is driven to be the best player ever*.

*to never win.
 
And Yankee fans need to someone to abuse for the next nine years, as they pretend to notice that their entire nucleus has gotten old, they have zero option but to put Joba in the bully, and at some point Mariano’s arm will fall off.

Without A-Rod, Yankee fans will have to find a new goat to blame pollution, crime, and terrorism on.  And frankly, they’re not ready.
 

 
 
Dear E. Shore: Who’s the sleeper for the hottest piece of eye-candy in Hollywood?

The Big Gravy Train?
 
Take out the work sleeper, and it’s Megan Fox.  How that mope from 90210 almost locked her up I have no idea.  Actually, I have a great idea:  it’s Hollywood, and she was undiscovered, then blew past his status.  

But Eddie digresses. Check out Oliva Wilde.  While E-Shore is anti-OC, hard to look past this one.  She’s, not ugly.
