Please Fix Boxing!!!

I don’t mean that kind of “fix”. I mean “fix” as in “repair”.
I don’t watch boxing nearly as much as I used to. At one time I would have considered myself a fan. For the last seven years or so I’ve sort of ditched boxing for the UFC. The fights are [...]

A Non-partisan View of Ron Paul in the NH Debate

From Justin Gardner at Donklephant
Again, my advice to you Paul supporters is if you want to be taken seriously…don’t try to take the GOP back. They’re lost, and you don’t want any part of that mojo.
Interesting, no?


It’s That Time of Year Again

Local people will hate me for writing this, and most non-locals won’t get why it’s a big deal.
It is really sad funny, but I didn’t know that football season started today until about 30 minutes before the UT game. This is what is considered the real football season around here by the way, not [...]


He Plays, err, Blogs the Right Way

All the recent talk locally about proper link attribution prompted me to finish a post I started a while back about blogging and baseball. “Everything I need to know about blogging I learned from watching baseball”? Eh, don’t really like that title too much. Plus it sounds like link bait, and I’d [...]

Now we are getting serious

From the Assoicated Press (Mark Stevenson)
Dean’s path takes it directly through the Cantarell oil field, Mexico’s most productive. The entire field’s operations were shut down just ahead of the storm, reducing daily production by 2.7 million barrels of oil and 2.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
At $75 a barrel (that’s a hair low), that [...]


Why Can’t a Guy Like This Run For Public Office?

George Will’s column in yesterday’s Washington Post is about MLB umpire Bruce Froemming. There are several good stories told in this short column, but this one is my favorite:
A story for Froemming: Rogers Hornsby, who averaged.400 over five years, was facing a rookie pitcher who threw three pitches that he thought were strikes but [...]

PacMan Jones is a Wrassler!

The Tennessean dropped that bomb today.
I hate to say it, but this worries me. Professional wrestlers have a hard enough time staying out of trouble and living clean lives without throwing in bad seeds like PacMan Jones.
Why stop there? If TNA is going to stoop this low they might as well send Barry [...]


Ron Paul on Colbert

I stayed up to watch Ron Paul on The Colbert Report tonight, and I was not disappointed. Not only did I get to see Dr. Paul, but also got to see Knoxville mentioned for our recent Bear Gone Wild, and heard one of the funniest one-liners I’ve heard in a while–”If someone is teaching [...]


Ron Paul on Tucker Carlson

I’ve been noticing recently the drastic difference in the agility with which Ron Paul handles questions from reporters and in debates in contrast to the other candidates. Most of the candidates usually seem either rehearsed or completely caught off guard, depending on the question. Tommy Thompson is a great example. He looks [...]

Thoughts on the New Hampshire Debate

Well, not very many fireworks at all.  John McCain, my friends, looked so rehearsed that he was afraid he was going to make a mistake.  I was glad to see Ron Paul stay on message and tie everything back to the Constitution and our flawed foreign policy.  Almost every statement he made received at least [...]
