Even a plain man with a mustache can get on TV as long as he has “Fox” on his cheek. What drives a grown man to sellout so hard just to have his face known for a brief second?

Baseball: Buy some close seats and curse at someone who makes more money than you.
Worried about the cold weather affecting your golf swing? Worry no more. With weather.com, you’ll know just how to dress for the golf course tomorrow. The link brings us to this page, which leads with: Low temperatures won’t keep a hardy soul off the golf course. Why should they? Take the following steps to make…
Like a child distracted by jingling car keys, we’re all too busy creaming ourselves over Phelps to see anything else. John Edwards cheated on his cancer-stricken wife during the Presidential campaign she encouraged him to run, even though she was in awful shape. Russia worked up a massive boner and has been waving it in…
The Royals are 27-32 at home. After last night, they are 1-9 when I attend. Home winning percentage: 46% Me winning percentage: 10% I must be emanating some awful aura that spreads through the stadium and affects this team.
LA Times: With the Games due to start in less than three weeks, Beijing today cranked up anti-pollution measures by yanking cars off the roads, expanding mass transit and staggering work hours in a bid to meet its pledge of a “green” Olympics. Maybe we should just let China have every Olympics for now on. …
I hate the Yankees. I hate how the media stroke and drool over the Yankees much more. Every week, there’s a new Joba Chamberlain story. I don’t know much about the guy personally, but I wish him nothing but utter failure. I hope he has a mental or physical breakdown that ends his career. I…
Yesterday, I posted the audio of Jose Guillen blowing his l lid. I couldn’t find audio or video of it anywhere, so I started streaming and rolling tape on 810 WHB. I wanted to capture it and share it with people who were looking for it on a little thing called “The Internet.” Heard of…
Thanks to my brother Bob for making me realize just how bad the Royals are. Wow. Just, wow. What a collapse, what a horrible team, what a long baseball season. Something has to be done to shake up the roster, today. And Nunez going on the DL doesn’t count. The only good thing that came…
American Gladiators showed up on my DVR – new season, baby! Here’s the episode description: A single mother takes on a Chernobyl survivor; a store owner battles with a carpenter. This Chernobyl survivor better be deformed. Update: No visible deformation. It’s a 2-hour episode. Is that necessary? I have no problem completely shutting off my…
It’s called Men’s “C” league for a reason. Douchebags.
I went to the Kansas City Roller Warriors Saturday night with Heather, Amanda and their Chris Cakes brethren. I haven’t attended too many odder things. Popping a squat? I’ve seen Roller Derby on TV before, but never in person. This guy needs to be available for rentals I couldn’t make out any faces from where…
I went to my first Royals game of the year tonight. My goal for the year is 20 games, so if you’re in the KC metro and hankering for some Royals, hit me up. It was a good time. That new HD scoreboard is pretty sweet. They throw lots of information up there. It’ll take…
April 7, 2008 – Downtown Lawrence after KU wins its third national championship.
I have some pictures and stories to share from my night in Lawrence for the Jayhawk’s national championship victory. However, I need to regrow some brain cells before I can write good. If I weren’t so confused on the definition of “irony,” I might say blogging about not blogging was ironic.
Tons of Royals games are in HD this year. Yesterday was the first game. Channel 1496 was scheduled to show the game, but I couldn’t find it on my guide or even type it in manually. Last night, Time Warner sent an update to my box, and the channel appeared after the hour-long reboot…
Good news! I’m alive! My brother Tom tricked me into playing indoor soccer. Tonight was our first game. As expected, I was out of breath 90 percent of the time. Also true to form, I took a soccer ball to the face. I’d say it was the defensive play of the game. Police sketch of…
I can’t get enough of this video from my good friend Chris Casey (see his YouTube channel here).
I went to Manhattan last weekend to catch up with some friends. We went to Kite’s Saturday night. I learned two main things. 1. K-State basketball fans suck. K-State lost to Baylor Saturday night. Like KU fans trying to follow football (see this post), K-State basketball fans really don’t understand the game. They jeer at…
I have a feeling Roger Clemens will be indicted for perjury in his Congressional testimony. Lost in all the baseball hubbub is a steroid crisis unfolding in front of America right on network television. One of our favorite past times is in peril, and no one says a word. First, take a look at the…
I was a little overwhelmed this weekend, so I wasn’t able to watch the KU-MU game until Sunday, a day late. I was talking to my friend Stephen about how great DVR is. I extolled the benefits of watching sports on DVR, so long as you don’t run into someone who spoils the result. We…
It’s awesome how you chant “bullshit” every time a charging/blocking call doesn’t go your way. Keep it up. You rule.
Most of my commentary on the Kansas City Star relates to how hard Jeffrey Flanagan blows (see here and here). In fact, despising Jeffrey Flanagan runs in the family. See my brother’s posts here. Today, I’d like to focus on the Star’s website. The Chiefs hired Chan Gailey for their offensive coordinator job Wednesday. It’s…
I know some people who would be very disappointed to see NBC omit the howling Gladiator “Wolf” from the below web ad. NBC has gone through some tough times since “Friends” left the air. Omitting the hilariously stupid Wolf from advertisements just shows you how incompetent this network has become. “Howl.”
Where will it stop? Music-big names like Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Timbaland and Wyclef Jean came up in connection with an Albany, N.Y.-based steroid investigation. Music critics will surely call for asterisks next to each of 50’s bullet wounds.
First Hillary Clinton cried, and now Terrell Owens sheds some tears. T.O. is a tears tease. He cries his ass off while wearing sunglasses. That’s cheating. So what does all this mean for crying? Does having two of the most perceived bitches cry on TV make it a more acceptable public activity? I think that…
You know those security guards in the yellow jackets at NFL games? They stare at the crowd the entire game, making sure nothing sketchy occurs. This prevents them from seeing the action behind them. This is a formula for hilarious, blind-sided takeouts when a play goes out the back of the end zone. The Colts-Chargers…
On tonight’s “60 Minutes,” Roger Clemens said he didn’t use steroids or HGH. He said he would be willing to take a lie detector, but he made sure to mention this. “I don’t know if they’re good or bad.” Sounds like someone is getting ready for their lawyer to come in and declare lie detectors…
“Has-beens unite!” American Gladiators is back. Here are some thoughts. Does Hulk Hogan know he isn’t a Gladiator? That sleeveless black shirt combined with his constant flexing worry me. Laila Ali has a frighteningly low voice. I’m not sure what I think about the Gladiator “Wolf.” I could do without his howling. Nitro has to…
With all the world’s problems behind us, what should Congress do? Hold hearings on steroids! This type of nonsense has no business wasting elected officials’ time. Now, when are we going to get that resolution declaring Dan Fogelberg’s life and works highly underrated? Or is that lowly underrated? Hmmmm. Whatever the case, you know we’d…
