When I am asked where I’m from I usually reply that I’m a resident of the United States. This response is not because I’m some kind of Lee Greenwood-type lackey, but because I’m on the road so much with my stand-up comedy schedule. My legal residence is in the Indianapolis area, which has been [...]

Baseball Tonight Launches Newest Drinking Game Sensation
When ESPN went looking for a replacement for Harold Reynolds on Baseball Tonight they had a lot of choices to pick from. While Reynolds was by no means great, he did have a certain kind of telegenic charisma which is hard to find in a former jock. It would seem like ESPN decided [...]

Random Shite
The 35 inch Toshiba TV that I have had for over 15 years finally bit the dust last weekend, so I need to go out and buy a new boob tube. I have done a lot of research on the subject, but thought I would open up the floor here for more advice. [...]

Please Explain: Whoopi Goldberg
Name me an artist who has won a Oscar, an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a Tony, and a Grammy….and still is almost impossible for me to watch or listen to? If acting in 105 different TV and Movies roles wasn’t amazing in itself, Whoopi Goldberg has also hosted the Oscar telecast 4 times. She [...]

Schizo Scott: Updates on Opie and Anthony and More
What I expected has happened in the radio biz, as major radio shows are being canned or at least supended. I was a guest on a morning show today where the hosts were telling me what I could and could not say. They knew me from past appearances or I’m guessing they wouldn’t [...]

AL Central Update: Return of PECOTA vs. SWOBODA:
With almost 25% of the season in the books, the AL Central is living up to its billing as the top division in baseball. Detroit and Cleveland have performed up to their pre-season touting, as they have been right behind Boston for the best team in MLB honors. I’m not surprised how they have [...]

George Carlin turns 70 Today
When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front row seat.
On this date in 1937, George Carlin was born in New York City. My thought on birthdays has always been there are about 15 interesting ones. I don’t think adults should get too [...]

The Most Cliched Rock Song of All-Time
It’s confession time. As someone who reviews a lot of music here, I should mention that lyrics often take a backseat to the rest of the components of the song I’m listening to. Like most, I live a busy life and it takes a lot of extra work to absorb a Dylan-like piece [...]

Tough Kids, Sissy Kids, Even Kids with Chicken Pox…Love Steroids
When my partner was still here at the juiceblog, I tried to stay away from writing about alleged steroid users. Since Will was the biggest expert on the subject, me weighing in on steroids would have been like me going to this site to break down hairy homos. It was not difficult for [...]

Best of Alt. Country, Americana, or Whatever You Like to Call It
For quite awhile now, I’ve been planning on doing my best of lists for different genres of music. Since I try to be as complete as I can, it takes me double digit hours to get it done. This has caused me to put it off. Well, finally I’ve finished my first [...]
