I do not have a daily podcast (believe me, the people are barely clamoring for a weekly one), but today is a day where I have a series of miscellaneous things I want to share that do not warrant a full blog treatment, but are bigger than mere tweets.  Well, since I am bored out of my mind with a bunch of 141 character thoughts I thought I would drop them here.  Enjoy this pot pie of comedy nonsense.

1)The Dwyane Wade Sitcom – the life of Dwyane Wade, Miami Heat star and alleged giver of an STD to his ex wife has a sitcom based on his life.  My guess it will follow the lead of Michael Strahan’s 4 episode sitcom on Fox, but who knows.  Obviously this could be a golden opportunity for exceedingly tall comedian/actors to get roles.  Here is the preliminary cast I have put together:

• Wade – Romany Malco
• LeBron James – Terry Crews
• Greg Oden – Morgan Freeman
• Chris Bosh – the raptor from Jurassic Park
• Pat Riley – Michael Douglas
• Erik Spoelstra – Joseph Gordon Levitt (or Bruno Mars – as someone suggested on Facebook)
• Commissioner David Stern – Jon Lovitz
• Shane Battier – J-L Cauvin

2) The Best Man Holiday – I pre-emptively ripped it on this week’s podcast after only seeing the first one.  Well the sequel was very enjoyable and noticeably better and more substantive that the first.  Here are the takeaways:

• Morris Chestnut should be a bigger star.  It has been 20 years since Boyz in the Hood and he has gone from playing a talented, emotionally nuanced football player to playing a talented, emotionally nuanced football player (at least as far as mainstream/crossover success is concerned).
• Morris Chestnut and Terrence Howard are very good criers.
• Morris Chestnut’s character is basically Adrian Peterson professionally (#28), but Tim Tebow personally.
• Movie was pretty damn funny, especially Howard.
• The woman that plays Mia looks too much like a female Derrick Favors to me.
• I have liked Nia Long since that movie with Ted Danson and Whoopi Goldberg in the 1990s and she has aged great, as in barely.
• Tyler Perry doesn’t understand why people like it.  And is writing his own movie called The Better Man Chooses Christ Over AIDS.

3) The new episode of Chappelle’s Show that is needed  – I watched the Mike Tyson show Undisputed Truth on HBO yesterday and one of my favorite stories is of how he beat up Mitch “Blood” Green in a Harlem street fight.  I have known about the story since it happened, but hearing Tyson flesh out the details only grew the legend.  Not of Tyson, but of Green.  To call Mike  Tyson, “the baddest man on the planet” in his prime, a “fa**ot” in the middle of the street, get beat up and keep coming back for more is the kind of courage-stupidity combination that I secretly wish I had.   Though as a struggling comedian I guess I am closer to it than most people.  Now instead of Charlie Murphy telling stories about Rick James for an episode have Mike Tyson telling the story about the night he fought Green for a full episode with Chappelle playing Green. Start engraving my name on an Emmy.
