C-a-C: Jose Calderon’s lockout plan seems unsound

I know network executives can be very convincing, Jose Calderon. But I'm not so sure "The ?64,000 Seesaw Layup Game" has a lengthy future on television in Spain, and I'm also not bullish on the prospects of its American analog, "The $91,436.80 Seesaw Layup Game."

It needs to be, like, "Seesaw Layup Factor," where you try to make scoop shots while a bummer of a dude who's way angry at ladies throws bugs at you or something. Or "Love Seesaw Layup Connection," where you go on a "seesaw date," which is what it's called when you sit on the seesaw, to find out if you're compatible, then tell a "woooooo"-friendly studio audience whether or not you smooched. (I bet you did, but not where peoples' butts touch it, because you are a gentleman!)

If this lockout lasts, those are the kinds of programs you should be looking to get in development, Jose. That's what audiences want to see.

In our last adventure: Dirk Nowitzki patiently tries to overcome his lack of depth perception and pick up the O'Brien.

Winner, Sebastian T: "It was within LeBron's reach, like this."

Runner-up, Mr: "I saw what you did to J-Kidd, trophy. I am not falling for that. I will not look into your ... precious."

Second runner-up, JD: "I could stay awake
Just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming ..."

NOTE: Don't sit there and act like imagining Dirk Nowitzki singing Aerosmith to 14.5 pounds of sterling silver, vermeil and 24-karat gold overlay isn't a pretty beautiful mental image.
