Just Wait Until Football Season!
November is right in the middle of football season, right? I’m assuming it was November when this mental specimen was elected. You laugh, but I’d actually like to encourage Congress to spend more time doing stuff like this and less time, you know, legislating. We can limit their damage by relegating them to doing school [...]
Why I Don’t Watch Pro Football

Fire Fulmer! Redux
Here that? That’s the muffled sound of cars running in closed garages all over East Tennessee. There are big problems in the area. Well, big problems unless you advertise on sports radio here and want your ad heard in between the “Fire Fulmer” calls. It seems like I wrote this exact post exactly one year [...]
Man Up Nine-Year-Olds!
My buddy Greg sent me this article at ESPN about a 9-year-old boy in Connecticut who has been told his 40 mph fast ball makes him “too good” to pitch in his baseball league. Teams have refused to play when he pitches, and his team is being disbanded at players redistributed to other teams. But [...]
Best Part of the Olympics So Far…
Bela Karolyi This guy is fired up and candid. I love watching Bob Costas throw out a chum of a question and seeing Bela Karolyi attack. I heard today that there are rumors he has been banned from the gymnastics arena in Beijing. I’m not sure if that’s true–it may be that he’s happy sit [...]
BaDoop BaDooping The Olympics
“Badoop Badoop it!” That’s heard commonly at our house if the television is on. It’s code for using the fast forward feature on the DVR. Ours doesn’t make that sound, but the TiVo does, and it’s more fun to say than “fast forward”. I can’t wait to badoob badoop the Olympics. Why? Because if I [...]
I Never Thought I’d Live To See It
Tennessee is the top ranked team in the nation? In basketball? Men’s basketball? You have to understand, I attended the University of Tennessee during the reigns of Wade Houston and Kevin O’Neil. I was a pretty die hard fan back then. Of course it was easy to sit in the front row of the student [...]
My Ideal News, uh, Thingy
I’m not affiliated with and don’t have any knowledge of the newspaper business. You could make the case that this doesn’t make my opinion worth much, but if you consider the performance over the last few years of people who do know the business, maybe doing something different warrants some consideration. Jack Lail has been [...]
My 2007 Year in Review
Unlike everyone else, I slacked off and waited until 2008 was officially here to do my review. 2007 was my first year of full on blogging. I’d messed around here and there with different blogs before, but 2007 was the year I drank the Kool Aid and went at it for real. I’ll keep this [...]
More on Steroids and Baseball
After yesterday’s post, I’ve had a chance to read a little more and think about the issue. This is so obviously a free market issue to me. If baseball fans demand a clean up, we’ll have one. Frankly, I don’t think many of the baseball fans that are left really care one way or the [...]
