No 'TRL'? At Least I Have Hannah Storm. Whom I Heart.

In my last post, I rhetorically inquired how I would bide my weekday morning time sans MTV's soon-to-be-defunct TRL. Well, much as NCDSUV writer Kevin Johnston has repeatedly expressed his naughty fascination with Sarah Palin's cross-pollination of power and sexuality, I too have my own unlikely MILF fixation. Thy name is Hannah Storm. And let me tell you, that's one Hurricane Hannah I wouldn't mind needing federal relief from.

Finally relieved from uptight duty on CBS' Early Show, Storm has blown through the previously docile, anchor-desk-constrained environs of ESPN's Sportscenter (a program which I just happened to habitually imbibe in tandem with my beloved TRL) like a tornado of mature sexuality and seasoned intelligence. The fact that I can't sully the innocence of our long-distance courtship via the immediate gratification of skimpy Maxim photoshoots and well-circulated nip-slip images only enhances her mystique. It's like being further endeared to a first date when you find out they don't have alter egos on seven different social networking websites.

So good riddance, TRL. Who needs Vanessa Minillo when I can be a 21st century Storm trooper? Besides, what else are my options? Dana Jacobson?
