FanHouse OwenWilson

A long, long time ago when I was a teenager ESPN was actually a network that was dedicated to showing sports. The showcase of the network was SportsCenter, which every day showed highlights from every single game played in the country, without any interruptions from Coors Light or their cold, hard previously scripted opinions. It was during these halycon days of ESPN that the world was introduced to the duo of Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann.

Eventually Olbermann would leave the network, instead choosing to spend his time talking about politics on MSNBC, but you knew that much like the mafia, just when he thought he was out, the sports would pull Olbermann back in. It all started with his work on NBC's Sunday Night Football, and now Olbermann has taken the next logical step in his return to the welcoming arms of the sporting world. He's become a baseball blogger.

My colleague Eamonn already told you about how Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson filmed a couple of scenes of the upcoming movie Marley & Me at the Padres/Marlins game over the weekend, but just in case you're one of those seeing-is-believing folks, we now have proof courtesy of Bugs & Cranks. So enjoy. And work on those trust issues.

Marley and Me is a heartwarming, touching book about some dude's dog, and how that dog teaches life lessons through his crazy antics. I don't know, actually; is that the plot? I've never read it. I assume it's on some Mitch Albom-Five-People-You-Meet-In-The-Kennel sentimental ish, but I don't speak from experience.

Anyway, assuming the dog does teach heartwarming lessons, one such lesson was presumably delivered last night at Dolphins Stadium, when Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston -- stars of the book's film adaptation -- ran onto the field unexpectedly:

At the end of the eighth inning, Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson ran into left field chasing a dog. Few players knew it, but the actors were filming a scene for the movie Marley & Me.

"If I knew it was going to happen, I probably would have ran out there a little quicker and jumped in front of Owen Wilson and grabbed the dog. I should have screwed that whole scene up. What were they going to do, kick me off the field?"

OK, Luis, you killjoy. At least Wilson and Aniston didn't wait to run onto the field until just after their depicted team's first World Series win in eighty years, thereby tainting the memory for an entire region of devoted fans. "Oh yeah," says imaginary Luis Gonzalez. "Well at least I didn't star in 'The Break Up.' That movie sucked my balls. Oooh, the woman is overbearing and underappreciated! And the man is immature and apathetic! Hilarity will surely ensue!"

This is why I don't argue with imaginary Luis.
