College Picks 13-4 Over Past 3 Weeks

4-1 in Colleges and 4-2 in the NFL last week, including keeping my 4-star pro picks perfect at 4-0, with an easy win on the Colts. For the year, I’m 34-25 in the colleges () and 27-28 on NFL choices.
This week the colleges have a small schedule and I don’t like much of anything. [...]

Kramer’s Biggest Pratfall

Say it isn’t so, Cosmo.
Michael Richards was a part of the best sitcom in television history and might be the top physical comedy actor since Keaton and Chaplin. He is more successful in the entertainment business than I could ever dream of, but I don’t consider him part of the same field that I [...]

Here are my choices for this week. The past weekend, I went 4-2 in the colleges, but only 2-3 in the NFL. I did have a cakewalk in my first 4 star NFL choice in quite sometime, with the Pats crushing the Packers. My 4 star NFL picks are 3 for 3 [...]

How Borat Has Wrecked the Modern Day Comedies

Sitting down at the local Cineplex, I awaited the much-hyped Borat movie. Since Borat is a comedy, I was bombarded with previews of other supposed movies set to make the ha-ha. “Let’s Go to Prison” and “Balls of Fury” were 2 of the coming attractions and I didn’t think one moment was funny [...]

Pastor Ted Haggard Faces Judgement Day

Since so many christian conservatives attacked Bill Clinton during his Monica-period, I think it’s only fair that the same is done to their fallen breathren. This is why I suggest that special prosecutor Ken Starr question him. Here is a brief snippet of how I think it would go.
Starr: Reverend Ted, is it true [...]

Don’t have much time to get into the picks, but as you can tell, I’m all over the dogs again in the college ranks. Oh and for those of you keeping track, Black Earl, producer of the greatest radio show in the world, The Ron and Fez Show hit his 6th straight best bet [...]

Football Picks Go 7-4

Was 4-2 in the colleges and 3-2 in the NFL, so got back on track. One of the reason’s that the football kicks baseball in the national picture is how the sport is so well covered outside of the actual games. Inside the NFL on HBO is the best sports show of its [...]

Continuing in a series of music primers that will appear monthly at thejuiceblog, let’s cover a category I will refer to as modern symphonic rock. Somewhere between Radiohead and Jeff Buckley lies a good portion of Indie music. Featuring often higher pitched vocals and dramatic music which often is a mix of alternative and [...]
