Mike Rowe’s Dirty Job: QVC Salesman for Precious Moments (and the Amazing KatSak)

I was just preparing to enjoy one of my last doses of NFL football for the year and heard the very familar and comforting voice of Mike Rowe selling large trucks. If you aren’t familiar with the fellow, here’s the wiki bio. He also did/does a fun little show called Dirty Jobs.  As the United [...]

The One Reason There is no Playoff System for College Football

http://www.chiff.com/recreation/sports/bowl-games.htm Who do you think would suffer with a smaller, more focused system?   Who do you think it is that is paying these colleges so much to show up?   Follow the money…which follows the eyeballs…and monthly subscription fees. – [spoiler: if my quick count is correct, 32 out of 36 games require paying [...]

NFL Players are sooo sexist…

…heard about this story yesterday.  Here’s the details… NEW YORK — New York Jets owner Woody Johnson told USA TODAY Monday he offered his “apology” to a female TV reporter whose treatment Saturday at Jets practice is being investigated by the NFL.NFL and team officials said Sunday they were looking into a complaint made by [...]

Let’s Start This Off With a Video…

…then I’ll tell you a story about my week. – It was the best of weeks, and it was the worst of weeks. Sunday: My week started with the end of the football season, as noted here. That was a great game and a great night.  I met a friend during the game that asked [...]

A Couple New Vids for Shits and Giggles and Deep Morning Thoughts

And of course…. I like the soundtrack on the second one much better.

The Best (and Worst) Superbowl Ever

So I went to my favorite pub/sports pub to do some liveblogging for the Superbowl. As football is about as close as I come to organized religion, the Superbowl is a big day for me.  A Super Party, if you well.   I had picked my location in the bar early and spent most of the [...]

Music and the Economic Collapse of the U.S.

This is a pretty good example of what my book is like…my intellectual ramblings divided by popular culture references. The book is also my philosophy “dissertation”. However, unlike most phi-disses, this one was created to be understood by another with the capacity to appreciate simple culture, and not necessarily someone who has a doctorate in [...]

I’m Still Trying to Come Up With a Title for My Book

I just thought of another good one, “Philosophy is an Action.” If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.  I’ve already written down some predictions of what people will think of it, and I want to check my work. Joel, you first. 

The 1st Book Is Going to Be 50,000 Words Long

I like the number 50. A comment on Facebook is 1000 characters long, so I’ve been training my ability to be efficient. So, 50 comments is about a book, right? [UPDATE:  C'mon, I need somebody to check my math.  My book isn't going to be 50,000 characters long (it went past that in the first [...]

Dumbest Challenge Ever? (Cowboys / Niners)

 Watching the Cowboys game this afternoon and wondering how much longer Wade Phillips is going to have a job.  Not that he’s done anything too stupid, oh wait, he just made the dumbest challenge to an on-field call that I think I’ve ever seen. [snip] Luckily, Romo to T.O. still works great.  Man, I love [...]

Duh-du-duuuuu-duh. Hey, You Suck (Cowboys v. Redskins II)

Staying at home tonight and watching the Cowboys game.  I did a bit about the previous meeting between the two rivals before, you can catch up on that here. So I’m watching the game and listening to Madden and Michaels do their thing like they do (and have been doing forever), and I heard the [...]
