You know your day is
off to a rough start when there’s a Nicolas Cage reference on SportsCenter
Is he starring in the remake of Rollerball? That would be awesome!
I really hope nobody is considering another remake of Rollerball. Nobody needs that.
Anyway, at the very least, I can give the SportsCenter anchors credit for at least making fun of Nicolas Cage in their reference this morning. I just can't, in good conscience, condone the use of Nic for...well...really much of anything.
So there was some sort of basketball game yesterday. I don't know or particularly care who was playing. One of the players decided to run straight into a pile of players from the other team, at which point, the ref blows the whistle and maybe calls a foul on one of the players who was standing in the way of the guy who was running. Okay, I'm not entirely clear on the rules of "charging," but it really seems like that happens a lot more than I see it get called. Anyway...one of the players who was standing around waiting to get run into fell down on the play and grabbed his face as if he had been attacked by a rabid honeybadger. The anchors then showed a slow-motion replay which showed the guy clearly not getting hit by anything, standing there for a second or so looking around before clutching his face and falling on the ground. A player with True NBA Potential. Anyway, the anchor said that the flopping player had apparently gone to the "Nicolas Cage School of Overacting."
I appreciated the fact that this was a clear dig on Mr. Cage's ability to be a terrible actor, but still didn't need to start off my day with a reminder that he's still allowed to be in movies.
