Well, for an evening, I was a Florida Gator. And it was great. Congratulations to the University of Florida and their convincing thumping of THE Ohio State University. Any questions about who’s number 1 in the country?
Though, as a UT alumnus, it was difficult to pull for the Gators, I felt like [...]
Just read that House Democrats are backing off their press release about 5-day work weeks, industrious Congresses, urgent people’s business, etc. (here) No biggie; but you’d probably be wise not to talk so much trash.
Waiting until after the Fiesta Bowl is more of a PR issue than anything else–the House Democrats don’t dare take their [...]
I have to admit that I pay attention to commercials. Now, that’s not the reason I tune in to the Super Bowl, but I am fascinated with advertising. But I wasn’t expecting much when I visited NFL.com’s Super Ad contest site (here) (hat tip worldviews blog). Seriously, it is hard to pick [...]
Is it just me, or is it not working for FoxSports to use pro announcers for its BCS coverage? I haven’t been able to put my finger on it yet, but I think it seems like they are are NFL-centric? They’re definitely competent to commentate on football (even though some of those in the coverage [...]

I did think it was pretty stupid to have a former PSU nat’l champ winning QB announce the game–you’d have to be almost superhuman to be unbiased in that position, but the images [...]
Thank you (and curse you) ABC Family Channel for your 25 days of Christmas programming this month. Almost every night that channel has broadcast a baby-boomer-era Christmas program (typically stop motion animation) and my kids have enjoyed seeing them.
But it occurred to me on Christmas day–when my middle child asked me a question about Santa [...]
I read over at the NY Times (via Drudge) that Al Franken is contemplating a U.S. Senate run.
I believe that politically-inspired comedians take themselves too seriously (certainly more seriously than the average voter). Accordingly, the quality that makes them so “charming” to a live, studio audience of people (who get their knowledge of current [...]
This youtube montage of 2004 Vince Young Highlights is really fun to watch. Seeing as I only watch a couple of Big 12 football games in a season, my primary memory of Young was his men-among-boys finale in last year’s Rose Bowl. The footage of his humiliating a team dressed in Michigan uniforms (at the [...]
