VOTM: "Playing With The Boys" on Top Gun Day

This is Video of the Moment, or VOTM, a whenever-I-feel-like-it series of post highlighting a certain video that I'm liking for the moment. And, today, I'm liking Top Gun, a 1986 movie about US Navy pilots attending a fighter school for advanced pilots. Today, May 13, is Top Gun Day, a fusion of Talk Like A Pirate Day and Tom Cruise. In celebration, here's a video. Above, is one of the most infamous scenes in Top Gun, where Tom Cruise, Gilbert from Revenge of The Nerds, Val Kilmer, and some other dude who isn't as famous as the other three play volleyball. It's so infamous, there's an easter egg on the recently-released iPhone/iPod Touch game where you can play volleyball just by changing your pilot's name to "VOLLEYBALL". Plus, there's two more easter eggs (including another Tom Cruise reference) that are discussed here.

Also, if you're wondering who would win in the epic matchup between them, The Love Of Sports posted 5 reasons why should be rooting for the Ice...man!

Now, if you excuse me, I gotta sing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" over on Lips for the 360. Who will be my Goose to my Maverick?

Video Of The Moment: "June Madness"

NCAA Expands March Madness To Include 4,096 Teams

I already posted this on my Twitter account earlier, but since today's the proper start of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, it's appropriate to post this gem from The Onion a couple of weeks ago. Enjoy.

BTW, I'll probably film the first installment of "The Assessment" tonight or tomorrow.

The following VOTM Is Not Safe For Work Or For Baltimore

I found this video over on Deadspin earlier this week. Apparently, someone over at ESPN.com accidentally/purposely made a link to this video instead of this week's "Tuesdays With Mel" column, where ESPN's NFL Draft expert gave you his latest opinion on the upcoming draft. Since I found this video, I have watched it several times. And it's still funny. It even brought me a smile when I was at work just thinking about it and the lines from it. Ladies and Gentlemen, This Is Awesome Sauce.

Just Remember: The video above is Not Safe For Work.
Expect something on Sunday.
