I'M JUST SAYING, IS ALL: I cannot believe I moved the seventh season of the Vai Sikahema Football League to ESPN's servers; they're awful:

I want to apologize to you for the problems we've had and assure you that we are doing everything in our power to solve them and provide an experience that the best, most passionate sports fans on the Web deserve.

Our aim is to have our Fantasy Football application operating normally for this Sunday's games. We will be updating you on our progress and resolution.

Again we appreciate that you are playing Fantasy Football with us and we will do everything possible to make this a terrific experience for you this season.

Everything possible? How about giving us a refund and setting up our team on Sportsline for us?

IN THE HIZZY: Yay, House is back, and LL Cool J rocks, but, seriously, didn't we declare a moratorium on having tv shows/movies end with Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah" as a means of conveying characters' sadness and torment?

There was the West Wing episode with the bodega shooting, the O.C. first seaosn finale, this, and I'm sure there's others. Enough. Remember when Green Day's "Time of Your Life" was overused like this?

Also, and I can't believe I'm saying it, but the Backstreet Boys video for "Just Want You To Know" is totally worth a few moments of your time.

A NEW AND IMPROVED LORELAI: For those of you who haven't already checked your TiVos, tonight we find out whether Luke says yes (um, duh), how Rory's planning on keeping herself occupied in the poolhouse, how Logan (now a series regular -- eeeeee!) will handle having a girlfriend who's more of a troublemaker than he is, how Paris will cope with Rory's absence from Yale, and most interestingly (as always), how Emily and Lorelai will deal with each other given the new circumstances.

Gilmore Girls is coming off an A+ season last year -- here's hoping that Amy Sherman-Palladino can keep it up.

WE HAD TO DESTORY THE LEVEE TO SAVE IT: In honor of the resignation of Brownie (he of the heck of a job), it's a list of the 25 stupidest quotes about the Katrina catastrophe.

And speaking of the hurricane, the other night I saw a commercial for this product and I didn't know quite how to react.

THIS HUMAN FORM WHERE I WAS BORN, I NOW REPENT: Philemina and I were privileged to take in Grizzly Man yesterday, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in some recreational pondering at the void. In it, Timothy Treadwell cuts a Col. Kurtz figure, plunging into his particular heart of darkness with a pair of camcorders and a manic intensity that leaves The Crocodile Hunter looking staid, sober and professional by comparison. Director Werner Herzog assembles Treadwell's videotape into a self-consciously awkward and redeemingly honest portrayal of a life and life's work that is at once quest confession and crusade, thereby illuminating an unhappy man otherwise all too easily dimissed as mad or misguided. Certainly Treadwell was both, but instructively so, and I was left to wonder how often seemingly lost souls leave such compelling chronicles of their search for absolution/oblivion/peace.

NO WORD ON IF SHE'S MEAN: Tina Fey has given birth to a 5 pound, 5 ounce baby girl.

AND NOW, THE AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING TV MOVIE OR MINISERIES NOT ON HBO: Since there are entirely too many categories to hand out on Sunday's broadcast, the Emmys handed out the Creative Arts Awards yesterday. ABC had a good night, with 10 awards, with Desperate Housewives and Lost both picking up major awards. For Housewives, awards included oustanding casting (comedy), editing (single-camera comedy), main title theme music, and guest actress (Yay! Mrs. Landingham!). Lost picked up trophies for outstanding casting (drama), editing (drama), dramatic underscore, and visual effects. TAR also picked up an Emmy for the Amazing Editors. Interestingly, Scrubs, which is well-known for using a single-camera, picked up a win for multi-camera editing for the episode in which J.D. hallucinates that he's on a sitcom. Finally, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, sadly, beat out Project Greenlight, Queer Eye, Antiques Roadshow, and Penn & Teller: B.S.! for "Outstanding Reality Program."
