I had a chance to kick off the first episode of the podcast with Rory aka Big Sky to get a chance to talk about some of the recent celebrity deaths and basically a collection of the dumbest things we could think of. Here's some of the show notes:-The link to the 'Don't Stop till You Get Enough' video- The link to the 'You Rock My World' video, featuring Marlon Brando, Chris Tucker, Michael

For as long as I can remember there has been class warfare in Major League Baseball.  I picture teams like the Pirates, Marlins, and Royals grabbing their newsboy caps and rushing down cobblestone walkways to protest outside the iron gates of George Steinbrenner, and then spontaneously breaking out into choreographed song like the movie Newsies (the role of the Marlins would be played by Mario

As the Super Bowl approaches and you learn the back stories of every 5th string wide receiver and line backers coach through endless hours of coverage it’s time to really focus on what will make your Super Bowl party a game/night/hospital trip to remember.  There are many features that go into having a Super bowl party that makes your friends ask you every year if you’re having a Super Bowl party

Somebody get Dennis Quaid on the phone. The perennial B-list star (or is it C-list? Or does your letter grade fluctuate like an experimental collegiate stoner?) seems like the perfect fit to play the Hollywood life story of an NFL quarterback destined for the Hall of Fame.  No Quaid doesn’t have the hairline for Peyton, or the Giselle-like dreaminess required for Brady, but he’ll be playing a

I thought I'd document my thoughts on monday night's two hour second straight night of 24 because of all the thoughts i had in the massive portion of my week i devoted to Jack Bauer.  This is what came out:The following takes place between 8:00pm and 10:00pm Thoughts occur in real time. 8:00pm: Am I excited that 24 is back after a layoff that made LOST’s layoff look like a smoke break?  Sure.

I began to make peace with the season with 6:09 left in the 4th quarter. The Giants were still in the process of “establishing the run” for what seemed like 6 quarters of 4 yard rushes and 3rd and 3 situations and FOX had just come back from a commercial break that was spent with Dennis Leary talking about the Ford F150 in bold print for 3 days straight when all the flaws of the NFC’s royalty

Life is all about momentum.Getting hot at the right time can lead to career promotions, huge gains at the blackjack table, or a string of STDs even the Fonz would be proud of.  Having that confidence is the same force that led A.C. Slater to an undefeated wrestling career or Rocky Balboa to run through forty some odd random opponents while Clubber Lang looked on in disgust/with feather

Chalk up another year on your life. Amidst the counting of gray hairs, the counting of remaining hairs in general, and the counting of remaining aspects of your life that you'd actually consider cool, chances are you learned something this year. We learn from experience, from observation and action, and from repetition. We learn from the smartest people alive, who show us new paths in life, and

Ever since Geroge Steinbrenner rode off into the sunset and left the prestigious New York Yankees in the hands of his sons and mastermind Brian Cashman, the franchise hasn’t fared too well. As the Yankees stand on the crossroads of 2008, riddled by injuries and personal moves that just haven't panned out, one could think old George would come back and try and right the ship. One could think a

By Jim Kelly Jr. It shouldn’t end like this.In sports there are players that personify teams. Players that characterize the city they play in, the attitude they play with, and the highlights they create. The same goes for couples. When you think of Brad Pitt you think of Angelina and third world children. When you think of the Yankees you think of Derek Jeter third world children grown up playing

By Jim Kelly Jr.It was about as important of a series in July as you can get. A few weeks ago the Mets, teetering on the brink of being out of the race for the NL East all together, went on a ten game run to vault them back into contention. Timely hitting and unhittable pitching surged the Mets right on the heels of the lagging Phillies and back at square one for the second half of the season. I

As seen on Coedmagazine.comBy Jim Kelly Jr.Sports are arguably too important in the average guy’s life. Guys are the ones arguing against that point. Sports cause guys to skip family events and work obligations for meaningless mid-season games and preseason action. Yet there is the negative half of sports; the kinds of things that make the average guy cringe at when he spends his average 60 hours
