No Mas TV Guide – 5/30

NBA’s Greatest Games
ESPN Classic, 4 p.m.
The second game of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals between the Knicks and the Bulls, and the last game that Knicks team would win all season. They went up two on MJ and co. and then folded like cheap hookers in a twelve-dollar motel. If you’re feeling nostalgic for that Knicks era, by the way, you should check out the Spring of ’94 doc running on MSG right now, which was produced by a true friend of No Mas, Stephen Palgon, and written by yours truly.

Youngblood
VS., 5:30 p.m.

Versus just loves this movie. I really think it’s the only movie they have the rights to on this channel. And hey, they could have done worse.

Annapolis
Starz, 6 p.m.

Here’s the TV Guide description on this one – “Predictable yarn about a working-class man who is accepted to the U.S. Naval Academy and trains for its annual boxing match.” Sounds pretty good, and yet in that I have never heard of this thing, it seems like it must be some straight-to-video type shit. Please, somebody, give me a full report.

Marcos Ramirez v. Adailton De Jesus
ESPN 2, 10 p.m.

A battle of undefeated featherweights on Wednesday Night Fights tonight should be worth a look. De Jesus is a hard-hitting Brazilian fighting only his fourth fight in the States.

Jimmy Kimmel Live
ABC, 12:05 a.m.

To give you an idea of how with it I am these days, I noticed this morning that Apolo Anton Ohno was on Kimmel tonight and that it was a repeat, so I figured maybe it had something to do with a short track event that he won this winter. Turns out it’s because he won “Dancing with the Stars.” And so I says to myself, I says… “What the fuck is ‘Dancing with the Stars’?”

Legends
TVG, 12:30 a.m.

An interview with horse trainer Jack Van Berg, most famously the trainer of Gate Dancer and Alysheba, the winner of the ’87 Derby and Preakness.

  1. Brother Joshua Says:

    annapolis got 4.5 out of 10 at imdb.com, stars james franco in the main role, and supposedly had 19 shots in the trailer that weren’t even in the actual movie. it’s supposed to be pretty terrible.
