XM and Sirius have announced details about their plans to merge. In short, you can get a bunch of channels from each service or have a choice of 50 or 100-channel “a la carte” packages. The 50-channel deal will be cheaper than the current prices, but seemingly restricts you to one service, while the 100-channel […]
My family doesn’t generally need much reason to get excited, especially on our annual trek to the beach. We have many activities planned to keep everyone as busy as possible. This year, something changed beach week for ever. Somebody brought a Wii.
I had off yesterday, so Maria and I decided to go out to lunch while Bridget was at Girl Scout camp. The night before there was an interesting story in the local paper about a BBQ place a few towns over, so we decided to try it out. First off, the food was good. Really […]
I am really glad I listened to a little of Schrutebag‘s (Colin Cowherd) show on ESPN Radio today. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have known that the Georgia medical examiner is incompetant because he says you can’t use Chris Benoit’s elevated testosterone levels to assume roid rage was a factor in him killing his wife […]
The nominations for Emmys were released today and showed why this is the only relevant award show out there.

Most times, I pride myself in standing up for everything that defines America. This time of year, however, I have to go against so many of my countrymen on one thing. I hate fireworks.
The boys from Athens are working on their new album. They recorded up in Vancouver for a month or so, but last week held five nights of “working rehearsals” in Dublin. These shows were not shows as Michael Stipe pointed out regularly from the stage. The band worked through 11 new songs, some of which […]
From the mountains to the prairies to the oceans white with foam So I was wrong and Kobayashi did compete. He was unreal until he hurled with about 30 seconds left. I’ve never been prouder to be an American than I was when Joey Chustnut stuffed that 66th hot dog into his mouth. What a […]
When Joey Chestnut wins the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest next week, some will say it’s a hollow victory. Kobayashi has pulled out of the competition due to a jaw injury. Last year, he downed almost 54 dogs in 12 minutes to set a new record, but Chestnut was right on his heels with 52 […]
