The Biggest Shock of 2008

Sure we are just done with one month, but the voting booth might as well be closed on the most shocking event of the year. On Hannity and Colmes, Ann Coutler announced that she will campaign for Hillary Clinton, if John McCain is the candidate. No really. Watch the video. If Rush Limbaugh and [...]

Playing in the World Series and Single A All in the Same Week

If you happen to watch the potentially highest-rated TV event of all-time this Sunday, just know that I was part of the creative team who brought some comedy to the Fox pregame show. 
Tonight I’m performing in North Dakota.  The temperature is predicted to hit a low of 30 below zero and get this, a wind [...]

Will Carroll Reviews U23D

Scott’s Note: I attended the great new IMAX experience film with Will and his wife last Thursday night. I had planned on reviewing the film, as well, but I can’t top what Will has offered up, as it’s the best review I’ve read on the film.

It’s often hard to separate the medium from [...]

College Basketball Primer

With my increasingly hectic schedule, I haven’t paid as much attention to college basketball as usual. Here are the teams that jumped out at me, after checking out the records.

All the experts knew the Pac-10 was as good as it has ever been. So far, the league has exceeded even those lofty expectations. [...]

First Annual Juice Blog All Skate

I’m currently swamped with a bunch of projects that actually pay me money.  I know I have slacked here at the Juice Blog, so I wanted to create some activity while I’m finishing up my obligations.  Since this site features any type of subject matter, I’m soliciting points of view on sports, music, television, movies, [...]

Hillary Gets Major Boost—Kerry Endorses Obama

The Democrats have selected a lot of lousy candidates to represent the party for President during my lifetime. Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, and the guy Al Gore was pretending to be in 2000, but none were worse than John Kerry. I respect Kerry for serving his country in Viet Nam, but after joining [...]

Catch Dan Cummins on Comedy Central this Friday

I highly recommend catching my good friend Dan Cummins’ Comedy Central special this Friday night at 10:30 est.  The guy is one of the funniest, most unique comics I’ve ever seen.  Check out this clip from Dan’s special that will give you an idea of what I’m talking about.

Time to Drug Test the Hall of Fame Writers

So Tim Raines gets 24 percent. One of the greatest leadoff hitters in the history of the game gets less than a quarter of the votes. Guys like Jim Rice and Andre Dawson, who Raines was a superior player to get more than double his percentage. I know I will probably go [...]

The Jucie Blog Top Releases of 2007 (Scott’s Picks)

I spent a lot of time watching music documentaries this year, as VH-1 Classic became my new favorite channel. (I highly recommend the great 7 part series done by the BBC called 7 Ages of Rock, if you want to learn about the greatest bands in music history and how they fit into different genres). [...]

Two of America’s Top Music Critics have offered up their Top 10 Lists for 2007 exclusively for the Juice Blog. I’m talking about Will Carroll and Mark Donohue. Will and I have been making these lists for awhile and I asked Mark, who has been writing on music for the great website, Nude [...]
