    If you ever had a man-crush on Tom Brady…

    Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

    …it is officially over.

    No man-crushing male models. It’s against the rules.
    So very un-cool and un-tough…

    The Blagojevich Saga

    Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

    Got love those Illinois politicians…

    Cite: “Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were arrested today by FBI agents for what U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald called a “staggering” level of corruption involving pay-to-play politics in Illinois’ top office.
    Blagojevich is accused of a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy, including alleged attempts by the governor to try [...]

    Peeve: College Bowl Games Named Solely for their Sponsor

    Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

    First things first, I have no problem with bowl game sponsorship. We get the game because the sponsor fronts the capital, and the sponsor, in return, gets national advertising. It works.
    However, when the bowl game is named solely for the sponsor, what happens when the sponsorship changes? The entire bowl loses whatever prestige and meaning [...]

    Bears Screwed in Houston

    Sunday, December 28th, 2008

    The set-up: Houston 24, Chicago 17. About 6:00 minutes to go. Steve Slaton of the Houston Texans fumbles the ball and the Bears recover. The Texans challenge the ruling on the field.
    The replays: The replays show that Slaton’s left elbow hits the ground before you see the ball clearly “out-and-about” - fumbled. About a split [...]

    Barkley Always Thinks It’s Racism…

    Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

    Poor college sports - minorities are grossly over-represented as players in proportion to the US population (see my related posts, I hit on this once), but God forbid a white guy get hired as a coach.  Absurd. Don’t mention that athletic directors have one bottom line: make money. They certainly would not be willing to [...]

    Blogs Disabled for MySQL slow queries

    Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

    My blogs were disabled last night as MySQL queries were too slow. Long story short, the new wordpress autosaves/keep drafts every 5-10 seconds or so as you type - and my bluehost database saved every revision. Thus, while the bog itself had only a few hundred posts, the host database showed almost 2000 posts. Thus, [...]

    Obama’s Change = Accept Children Named Adolf Hitler

    Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

    …at least according to one couple…
    The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child’s full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance. Heath Campbell and his wife, Deborah, are upset not only with the decision made by the Greenwich ShopRite, but with an [...]
