HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BAMBI!
Happy Birthday to Jane "Bambi" Wulf, the Chief of Reporters at Time magazine and the woman who first hired me at Sports Illustrated 18 years ago. Bambi, who held the same position at SI for years, is a legend there. And a terrific person.

Today's blossary term (Is anyone keeping track of the blossary, by the way?):
flattergasted : When someone pays you a compliment that shocks you so much that you lose your breath, it leaves you...

Am wondering who has the larger fan base, myself or the band Flight of the Conchords ?

Attended the coolest wedding this weekend in Chicago. Congratulations to my good friends Matt and Christine, who are now on their way to a honeymoon in Europe. After the wedding ceremony, someone released dozens of butterflies. Note to self: At my wedding (please stop holding breath), have someone release ostriches.
We'll return to sports tomorrow, gang.

About this blog
NBCSports.com's John Walters goes into the world of college sports and well beyond. From Notre Dame to the latest in pop culture, JDub tackles it all.
It's totally normal to get butterflies at a wedding. It's a major, life-changing event.
We know now that J-Dub really, really likes "Flight of the Conchords." But this is really his rebound show: it's nothing like "Gilmore Girls," which was about two girls and rarely if ever dealt with New Zealand. He's watching "Conchords," but the whole time, he's really just thinking about whether Luke has time for commentary on the final-season DVD. He needs to start watching "Rescue Me" like the cool kids have been doing for three summers now.
I think J-Dub's trapped under something heavy. Yo -- Jenna Jameson is on your front page. Who better to tread the line of NBC-friendly humor? At least you must have something say about Tito Ortiz' Imus impersonation this week ...
See G.A., this is one of the wonderful qualities/strategies of a streaking blogger -- he keeps you guessing for days on end who will be the next target of his commentary so by the time J-Dub does resurface, we will all be so grateful for a new post that the Johntourage will come out and celebrate with double-digit commenting. That or he is typegasted -- the inability to type after multiple blogging (does this term qualify for the Blossary?) That or J-Dub got too close during the hot dog eating contest, lost a finger and has been nursing his wounds with a Gilmore Girls marathon and constantly replaying the first couple of episodes of Flight of the Conchords.
I know he is alive because he keeps texting me every time his apple stock goes up.
