Laugh Track....Basketbrawl

NBC’s Jay Leno: “There was a huge NBA brawl last night. The Nets' Kris Humphries took a cheap shot against Celtics' Kevin Garnett and then (Celtics' Rajon) Rondo punched him. The whole thing finally ended when Lindsay Lohan jumped in and knocked out all three of them. … Tickets for this weekend's New York Jets game are now selling for as low as $18. How embarrassing is that? $18! Hot dogs are $19. … Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall … says that he's heard stories of players taking Viagra before the games. See, that's why a lot of the teams have switched to that no-huddle offense. You don't want to be a tight end on that team. But actually you have to be careful … because taking Viagra doesn't work for every team. In fact, they warned the Kansas City Chiefs, ‘If you're still getting your ass kicked for more than four hours, call your doctor.’ … The nominations for this year's Baseball Hall of Fame have been announced. They include Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa. You know something? I just hope being nominated doesn't give these guys a big head” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 11/29).
