Previously on Sports Night: Aw, screw it. You guys know what happened previously.

This episode starts off smack-dab in the middle of draft day coverage, with Casey talking about a 6' 7" 325-lb offensive lineman who can run the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds, which is pretty fast for a big guy like that, and Dan concedes that that's true, but any play designed for an OL to run forty yards is probably ill-conceived. No hint of any tension! Whew! Glad to see that blew over!

Cut to Isaac's office, so we know we're going to get the Weekly Whiner segment, and I'm considering starting up a pool on the MBTV boards so people can place bets on who is going to come to Isaac with their problems each week, and this week, it's -- Jeremy! Jeremy says to Isaac, "Fire me," which distracts Isaac from the television. "Why?" asks Isaac. "I'm a bad worker," says Jeremy, which Isaac disagrees with. "I come in late, I leave early," says Jeremy, and Isaac reminds him that the opposite is true. "You come in on your days off," says Isaac and Jeremy seizes on that and says, "And isn't that a little weird?" and Isaac admits it is, but won't fire him and tries to go back to watching television. Jeremy starts getting desperate and says he says things about Isaac behind his back, which Isaac doesn't believe, so Jeremy says he'll save Isaac the trouble and offer his resignation; Isaac reminds him he's under contract. The counter on my VCR says one minute, thirty-three seconds and Jeremy has already sent me zooming past my Annoyance Threshold for this week, although I did kind of laugh when Jeremy hopefully said, "I'm a racist," and made this "yeah, that'll do it" face. Isaac decides to play along with this one. Jeremy says he's been in the closet all this time but it's time to live an honest life, and then he goes into John Rocker mode and suggests that "all the people with the different skin colours and funny accents should go back to where they came from and leave America to the white people who killed the Indians in the first place, which they deserved," like who knew racism was so gut-splittingly funny? Jeremy says the country is being taken over by the blacks and the Jews, and Isaac reminds Jeremy that he himself is Jewish. "Well, I've got to be stopped!" says Jeremy, which was also pretty funny. But Isaac is getting tired of this and says "Jeremy," and Jeremy throws up his hands and says, "I'm totally screwed!" like maybe Jeremy and his porn star girlfriend have more in common then we realize.
