Manny, you've never had cold pizza for breakfast?? Dude, you're missing out...the only thing that compares is cold fried chicken...
Whether the show is good or not, you gotta like the use of the "Astros throwback" in the commercial. I will give this show a chance tomorrow, by recording it and watching it at night. I'm curious as to how it works.
Note from Bill Simmons' latest column: This is stunning news, so I'll just come out and say it: Barring any last-minute holdups, I'm going to be involved in this "Cold Pizza" show on Tuesdays and Thursdays, hopefully starting this week. Get the TiVo ready. It's a very cool idea. You'll see. That's all I'm going to say. Looks like a lot of us will be watching now!
Isnt one of the chicks on this show the reporter from Playmakers? I could have sworn that it was her. Shes hot.
I expect you full uncensored review tomorrow. I'm tired of these crappy shows. Hey, anyone know what time Joe Millonaire 2 comes on tonight, er, I mean...nevermind.
Playmakers is a good show. I hate the gay guy that pretends to be straight then two weeks ago punched his boyfriend in a club. I also hate DH and the a$$hole owner of the team. The quarterback is such a playa, but he is also a huge jerk.
`Cold Pizza' leaves a bad taste By MIKE McDANIEL Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle You can have what's left of Cold Pizza. By Tuesday, I'd had my fill. EPSN2's new morning show (6-8 a.m. Mondays-Fridays) is advertised as a mix of news, sports and entertainment. I envisioned it as the perfect place to turn in the a.m., where I could get the latest headlines, a taste of celebrity gossip and a meaty sports wrap-up -- an hour ahead of broadcast TV's Today and Good Morning America. Instead, on Monday's inaugural show, Cold Pizza co-hosts Jay Crawford and Kit Hoover served up baseball highlights, football highlights, a Monday Night Football tease and a tease about steroids, then laughed about their new gigs and digs. They were cheerful and effervescent to excess. It wasn't SportsCenter, but it wasn't what I wanted, either. Later, the show was turned over to news anchor Leslie Maxie, who spent only a couple of minutes running down headlines about Jason Giambi and a steroid investigation, the rape case involving the Lakers' Kobe Bryant, the D.C. sniper case and magician David Blaine. Suddenly Cold Pizza wasn't tasting so good. But I'm sure it appealed to those who had the time to sit and watch three beefy guys in a pizza-eating contest, Kirk Herbstreet's college football analysis or the latest movie box-office report. An in-studio interview with Fred Willard was weak, as was Dawn Yanek's report on couples with split team rivalries (hubby roots for Red Sox, wifey yells for Yanks). Yanek, FYI, is not just any journalist; she's the relationship editor for Stuff magazine and a regular Cold Pizza contributor. Tuesday and Wednesday's shows were more of the same, 90 percent sports and sports features, 10 percent news -- all with an emphasis on fast! fun! frivolity! Hey, it's 6 a.m., folks. Lighten down. That said, I think Zach Lebowitz, labeled a PA (production assistant) and sideline reporter, was terrific in providing "halftime highlights" of that morning's show just before the 7 o'clock hour. And comedian Greg Proops was a stitch as Tuesday's celebrity weatherman, who surprised everyone by reporting that Miami would be a steamy 425 degrees for Tuesday night's game. There's nothing wrong with having a few laughs with your Cold Pizza in the morning. I just wish my slice had been more pepperoni, less pineapple. Cold Pizza, 6-8 a.m. weekdays, ESPN2. Grade: C.
