So I stumbled across this video today on a couple of hoops blogs. It's Indiana forward Tyler Hansborough in a commercial for a local auto dealership. I must say, this is one of the finest pieces of acting I've seen in a long time.

This is like Pacino in The Godfather, this is like Orson Welles in Citizen Kane. His range and his on-screen presence captivated me from start to finish. Just the way he says "Wow!" I can almost feel the raw emotion of his surprise at what a great car it is.

I guess Psycho T had nothing better to do while he sat out nursing a shin injury. Sadly for Pacers fans, this ad will pretty much sum up his style of play and his NBA career -- boring and uneventful.

Game of the Night: Phoenix (4-0) at Orlando (3-1). Two of the best teams out of the gate clash tonight and there's a couple of matchups to keep an eye on. Steve Nash vs. Jameer Nelson and Dwight Howard vs. Amare Stoudamire in particular. It'll be interesting to see how the Magic respond to dropping a game that they shouldn't have last night and it'll be even more interesting to see if this undefeated Suns team is for real.

But if for any reason this game gets a little boring or turns into a rout, maybe turn your attention to the Lakers at the Rockets tonight. Trevor Ariza and Ron Artest face their former teams and not to mention that Houston is 3-1 without Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. A scrappy team and a squad that should be fun to watch every night. Let's see how they handle the defending champs.

Enjoy the games tonight and we'll catch you back here tomorrow on the Full Court Press

The Roster

Mug

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.


Mug

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.


Mug

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.


Mug

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.


Mug

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.


Mug

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
