The events are delayed by enough time that it’s impossible to be on Twitter at the same time without possibly seeing a score ahead of time Buffering There are no listings directly below the player most times. When they are there, they do not automatically update, meaning you need to refresh to see what has […]
I think my obsession started with the “Guinness Book of World Records.” We always had one lying around the house when I was a kid so you could check the distance of the longest grape toss which someone caught in their mouth. The book also had lists of Olympic medalists in every sport. I used […]
I have not had this feeling for two or three years. I don’t have an episode of “Mad Men” awaiting me. I didn’t get into the show until a few years ago and slowly worked my way through the catalog. I watched the final episode of the most recent season earlier this week. Oh, since […]
I hate this week. I should really love it because you can sense the beginning of summer, and Memorial Day gives us a four-day work week. But an awful stench lingers in the air for me. The television season has come to a close. I will get over this feeling soon when I start to […]
A lot of angst and worry has filled Twitter and other online communities because of Sony’s decision to cut “Community” creator Dan Harmon loose from the show last week. With last Friday’s decision, the production company and NBC president Bob Greenblatt turned #sixseasonandamovie into #threeseasonsandapinkslip.

The good news is that it looks like I will continue watching my favorite shows like “Community,” “30 Rock,” “Parks and Recreation,” and “Cougar Town.” At least that’s the way things look heading into upfronts later this month when the networks announce their schedules. The bad news is that all of them may only get […]
Sometimes, a milestone comes and goes with very little notice. That’s what happened a couple of weeks ago when we passed the 100 days mark before the beginning of the Olympic Games this summer. I saw a brief mention of this news on Twitter or Facebook, but just went about my business. A few days […]
As white people everywhere know, “Mad Men” returns to the air on Sunday. We have suffered silently and whitely for more than 500 days. Well, not all of us. I was a latecomer to the AMC franchise. I still have not finished Season 4 (I have one episode left) since I didn’t feel any sense […]
I admitted a deep, dark secret to some friends the other day. I felt much better afterwards, even though they gave me some grief for my transgression. While I feel good about taking this step with some people close to me, I don’t know if I can bring myself to make the same admission here. […]
Across the country tomorrow, one of the most exciting days on the college wrestling calendar will take place. Seven conference tournaments will determine most of the 330 wrestlers who will compete in the NCAA Division I Championships in St. Louis two weeks from now. The Pac 12 had their tournament last week and wild cards […]
