So last week saw me suffering a lot of close losses, with the overall result being 3-2 in the NFL and 1-3 in the colleges. The Boilermakers and Vikings were my best bets and both won. This week has a better slate of games to bet, with my first 4-star selections of the [...]

If Alternative Radio Was Good, This Is What You Would Hear
The death of commercial alternative music radio stations is about done. When New York City doesn’t even have an alternative station anymore, you know the genre is dead on commercial radio. Reasons for this are abundant, with MP3 players and satellite radio right at the top.
Alternative rock channels began to appear on commercial radio [...]

Funny Porn Site, NL Playoffs, and More
I stumbled upon a very funny website named verybadporn.com. It is a satire of typical internet porn, with its cheesy dialogue and bad camera work, but site founder Chelsea Humboldt adds a quirky sense of humor that makes it more real. In one scene with “actress” Sana Summers, Humboldt says he [...]

The Number 1 Qualification for the Next President
It’s been a long time since I’ve stirred up some shinola around here, but I need to vent. After watching Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez speak today, it became abundantly clear to me. The United States cannot ever again elect a President who is not a good public speaker. Chavez, who is a [...]

Time to Pull the Tarp over the White Sox
The race for the AL Central, which looked so exciting has ceased to be. With the Tigers dismantling of the White Sox in game 1 of their series, the playoffs seem to be set. If the A’s sweep of the Sox (led by my buddy Frank Thomas) hadn’t of already of locked it [...]

College Football Top 25, Plus Best Bets for the Weekend
I was going through my posts the other day and realized that I never put up my pre-season College Football Top 25. Now I realize it seems like I’m cheating by posting it now, but I guess I will have to let you determine from these choices if I deserve the honor system.

My Life with Frank Thomas
It must be fun when your favorite player is Cal Ripken or Tony Gwynn. You know a beloved figure that everyone in the game loves. Frank Thomas has been my guy. While not a dick on the level of Barry Bonds, loving Frank has never been easy.

NFL Preview
Here are my quick picks for the 2006-07 NFL Season.
AFC East
1. New England
2. Miami
3. Buffalo
4. NY Jets
The Patriots aren’t as good as in the past, but people are a little out in front of themselves on the Dolphins. I’ve never been a Culpepper fan and as crazy as it sounds, I think they would [...]
