This is one of the strongest pieces of prose that I have ever read. Thank you for writing it. And thank you even more for letting me read it.

And what the fuck was up with that jumpsuit? He looked like a refugee from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea!

I watched the first 20 minutes of Sticks and Stones. It did not offend me. It did not make me uncomfortable. You know what else it didn’t do? It didn’t make me laugh. I did not laugh, chuckle or even smile once during those 20 minutes. I totally don’t care what Dave Chappelle’s thoughts and feelings are. I watch…

I’m a short guy, so I’m never going to score in an NBA game. Being a short guy I think I have a good chance at taking a walk in an MLB game. I’ll get on base. But that’s not the same as getting a hit. I can catch a football. If the coach were to come up with a play with the sole purpose of which is to get me the ball…

I guess nothing really surprises me anymore after Daniel Snyder (or somebody associated with the Redskins) came up with the idea of ‘sponsored sponsors’. Ever listen to a Redskins game on the radio? You’ll hear something like “Today’s McDonald’s Scoreboard is brought to you by Taco Bell.”

I seem to remember a Jetsons cartoon where they had robot football players. I can see a future where we’ll have Westworld-like robot players that will squirt real blood and have real bones pop-out when their limbs are snapped. We could even arm them with baseball bats to increase the mayhem. Make it like the Roman…

The sandwich is certainly great, but I don’t think I would stand on-line for anything. Unless I’m asking them to make it ‘fresh’ instead of one waiting in the warming bins. I got my sandwich before the hype hit and it is the best chicken sandwich I’ve eaten since the first time I had Chik-Fil-A many decades ago when I…

I don’t see anything wrong with booing. I don’t see anything wrong with calling a player a bum. Saying mean, rude, vile things about a player or a member of a player’s family is something completely different. If you’re making half a million dollars and the best you can do is hit .215, you deserve to get booed. If you…

Interesting article in thebiglead this morning by Ryan Phillips. With Luck’s retirement, he declares the entire top 6 picks of the 2012 NFL Draft complete busts.

OK, Andrew Luck. It’s his body and his life. I get that and I respect that. He can do whatever he wants. I get that and I respect that. He got tired of getting beat up all of the time. I get that and I respect that.

I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I don’t know how to relate to you without getting into my story and turning this into a pity party and I don’t want to do that.

How do you choose Best Video of the Year if you never see them? They already had an awards program for Best Song of the Year that predates the VMAs by decades. It’s called The Grammys.

How MTV sucked the life out of the VMAs? I think it happened right about the same time they stopped playing music videos.

If you have never felt betrayed when your favorite play up and left for greener pastures, then you’ve never been a sports fan.

Take heart Orioles fans. At least you knew coming into this season your team was gonna stink. Look at us Phillies fans and have a laugh. How do you cough up a 7-0 lead against the worst team in the league and lose 19-11?! Right now, I’ll generously say the Phils are set at 1st, 2nd, SS, RF and catcher. And they do…

It makes me sad when I think about all of the wasted good will. Howard was well on his way to owning Orlando. When the Magic won, it was because Howard played great. And when the Magic lost, it was because Howard’s teammates played bad. And he took all of that good will and flushed it right down the tubes. Same thing…

Was that in Forrest Gump?

Midnight Cowboy had the best ad-lib in movie history. Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman were talking and walking down the street together and stepped off the curb into the street. At that moment, a cab went around the barricade set up to stop traffic and almost hit Dustin Hoffman. Without ever breaking character, Hoffman…

Every time I see a story on the Oakland A’s I always assume it’s yet another story about the toilets backing up into the dugouts.

Agreed. A neatly groomed mustache and beard looks good. But to just let it grow without ever trimming or even combing it looks like shit. But I guess the chicks like it.
