Common-sense ruminations on baseball and culture.


Ron Burgundy at Yard Work
The Sports Guy using Anchorman quotes

Over a year after Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy came out, it's enjoying a nice boost. Part of it may be from Wedding Crashers, which puts the informal comedy troupe, which includes the Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell, in another film. DVD sales probably help.
Yard Work has Burgundy asking for solutions to the San Diego Padres' losing ways, and Bill Simmons finally got around to watching the damn movie, so he's analyzing NBA free agency with quotes from the movie.

Anchorman is a joy on DVD, because you see the incredible amount of unaired footage -- nearly all of it funny. Many scenes have four or five different arrangements, and there's hints of footage in the extras that didn't even make the deleted scenes. This could have been a 3-hour film, but it makes the editing that much more impressive.
