OT - former player makes good on The Voice
One of the contestents, Justin Hopkins, on The Voice tonight on NBC is a former player in our local kids rec league. His dad used to coach him and my son was on their team in 8th grade. Obviously, I'm rooting for him tonight. Here's a link to a "sneak peak" video. Be warned, it starts with a commercial.
BTW - Justin's the one with hair. 'The Voice' Sneak Peek: Justin Hopkins & Tony Vincent's Journey Battle - Reality Check | Billboard.com

OK?
You gave me one more reason not to watch this show. Put American Idol in that category too. Big waste of time. Peace

I find that "reality" moniker a little too broad-based. Competition shows go as far back as Ted Mack's Amateur Hour. To me, there's a big difference between competing (be it The Voice, Biggest Loser, or Amazing Race) and following around whiny housewives or pregnant teenagers. The former features people who are trying to better their lives; the latter features people whose lives you're glad you don't have.
Besides, outside of sports, I'm still a game show geek at heart.

One of my brothers-in-law played in the minors with the Mets until he tore up his knee. He had a real shot at the majors. He was one of those big, left handed hitting first basemen. He then became a MS PE teacher. BTW - he appeared in the movie "The Temp" as a basketball referee!

I never watch these shows, however as I "cruise" through my cable stations I will occasionally come across "Mob Wives". Something about that show gets my attention. It only gets my attention for five, or ten, minutes, but it gets my attention. After a few minutes, I remember how horrible the show is, and I "cruise" to another station.

Well, the results are in and, unfortunately, Justin didn't win. That's really surprising, because in 8th grade, when my son played on his team, they were undefeated. Of course, that was over 15 years ago.
