As always, Beers with Your Friends and Ladies with Low Self Esteem should top your priorities.

Sports

WGC Accenture Match Play. 2PM-6PM Wed.-Fri., Golf Channel. Weekend Coverage, Golf Channel and NBC.

Not everyone is into golf, we get it. But those of us that are intelligent and super sophisticated don’t miss the Accenture Match Play tournament. Since it’s inception we’ve considered it the unofficial kickoff to golf season. The bracketed match play format makes it a blast to watch/gamble on. And since it starts on a Wednesday it provides a convenient excuse for back-to-back-to-back late afternoon five beer lunches.

#15 Purdue at #14 Indiana. 7PM Tues., ESPN.

The only weekday game pitting two ranked teams against each other also features college basketball’s biggest ongoing storyline: Can Kelvin Sampson successfully pit out more shirts in one season than Bruce Pearl? Ha, ha. Just kidding. Kelvin Sampson’s sweaty ass isn’t even going to coach a full season. Should still be a good game though.

NFL Combine Coverage. Starts 2:30PM Thurs., NFL Network.

Alright roto dweebs, keep your pants on. The season’s over and your favorite time of year is finally here. Combine, Baby! COMBINE! And the NFL Network has all your needs covered! Starting this Thursday and ending next Wednesday, it’s pretty much wall-to-wall coverage of bench presses, 40 times, and shuttle drills. Click here for the complete NFL Network breakdown. (Note to Lions fans: Wide receivers work out on Sunday.)

Movies and Television

New to DVD. Both “American Gangster” and “Michael Clayton” release Tuesday, which is nice seeing that network television is going to continue to suck dong for another couple of weeks. If you haven’t seen either, you must rent a crime thriller starring Denzel and Russell Crowe first, no question. If you’ve already seen both, “Rendition” starring Jake Gyllenhaal also releases Tuesday. We swear no one working in the mailroom at Netflix will snicker and call you a homo when sending it out to you.

Television

“Lost”. 9PM Thurs., ABC.

Until new episodes of shows affected by the strike get going, the only non-sports television we’re recommending to anyone is “Lost”. It’s just so much fucking better than anything else on TV right now. We even watch the pop-up video version of the previous week’s episode that ABC airs at 8PM. Of course, from there we go out, take five car bombs, and hook up with a stripper.
