First NBA Post

Well, the NBA Season has started and I figured it’s about time I said something about it. I was going to post something about the dress code when they first announced it, but everyone else covered it a lot better then I would have, so I didn’t bother. Out of the four major sports, Basketball …

Land of the Dead

Can’t get enough of those zombies. And they can’t seem to get enough of my living flesh. I’m not sure if this will be George Romero’s last hurrah, but I’m not sure where else he can go from here. Land of the Dead appears to be a sequel to Dawn of the Dead, as the …

A History of Violence

The story about a man named Tom Stall who has a little more interesting history then he’s led everyone to believe. Complete with a few very graphic scenes of violence, a couple sex scenes that seemed to go on awkwardly long, and a plot twist that was a little too predictable for its own good. …

Doctor Cool and Dentist Surly

So I had a Doctor and Dentist appointment yesterday, with very different experiences. It’s been a while since I’ve been to either, so I forgot what it’s like for another grown man to touch you in odd ways. But since my work has tremendous health benefits, I figured it’s about time I got with the …

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Eight)

“We’re the Chicago Bears. Da da da daa da d-da da da d-da.” ( I don’t remember the lyrics) Look out, all alone in first place is the team that ESPN ranked dead last in the power polls before the season started. And now we’re on our way to the Super Bowl! Okay, maybe I’m …

I was pretty mad about that backward lateral/forward pass controversy. When you watch the replay, it was one of those plays where if the ruling on …

Go Sox Go

Congratulations White Sox. Despite never having the media backing you the entire season, you still pulled it out. You have really been the best team in baseball since week one, and no one gave you the recognition. Everyone was waiting for the collapse. People were still saying “watch out for the Twins.” And when the …

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Seven)

Well, a couple things you can rely on, a couple things you can’t predict, and week seven has come and gone. First of all, my fantasy season continues to plummet (this was my first week where I didn’t even break 100), even though my gutsy move of picking up and starting Brandon Jones (rookie WR …

Big Man Dance Competition

It occurred to me that I think the only commercials I’ve ever seen for the NFL Network are all advertising the “Big Man Dance Competition.” Is that the only thing they have on that channel? And then when they have the last screen of the commercial, under the NFL Network logo is the phrase “Imagine …
