The Cost of Life
Wanna watch the NCAA college basketball tournament (aka March Madness) online (presumably at work) this year? It\’ll cost you. If you\’re a cable or dish subscriber, you can \’authenticate\'[1. We\’ll see how well that works.] with your account and watch all the games for \’free\’. If you\’re not one of those people, you can pay…

Best Comedy on Television:
Alex: This category is so far out of my wheelhouse that I considered just nominating Mama\’s Family and ceding the floor. However, I do have a serious nomination: The Simpsons. Granted, I haven\’t watched a new episode in at least five years, but Homer Simpson deserves to be in the conversation for \’funniest character ever\’,…

Classic Minnesota
I\’d like to paraphrase the 15-second promo for one of our news stations that I heard the other night. I feel that it captures the essence of how ridiculous Minnesota can get sometimes. (Picture these bullet points appearing on screen along with the perky anchorwoman.) \”Here are some of the stories we\’re working on for…

Just Throw Me The Damn Swatches
I am currently enjoying a lazy Saturday morning watching some mindless television when I wander past A&E and the on screen display says: \”Keyshawn\”. Um… what? On A&E? So I hit the info button and I get: \”Keyshawn Johnson: Tackling Design\”. What is even more frightening is that he seems to actually know what he\’s…

Today *Was* The Day
As you may or may not be aware… quite honestly if you have a) access to a computer and 2) have the ability to use said computer you are probably intelligent enough to have 1) non-antenna access to television or b) are well aware that there is an impending change coming to the airwaves.

Donovan McNabb is a Jedi.
I don\’t know what other conclusion to draw after hearing ESPN NFL analyst Shaun King say the following about McNabb on-air the other night. It\’s probably a bit of a paraphrase, but close enough for my purposes. \”Donovan McNabb can beat you three ways: He can beat you throwing the ball; He can beat you…

Can American Gladiators Be Saved
Where were you on September 16th, 1989? I know where I was. I was sitting on the couch in my parent’s living room watching the debut episode of American Gladiators. There was nothing cooler to a teenage boy than a show that was part wrestling (but real), part football (big hits), and part war (Assault)?…

It ain\’t right…
Yet another one of those things that I\’d like to un-see. I\’d advise you to avoid this if you can, but if you watch ESPN at all, good luck. What follows is a highly disturbing commercial for ESPN\’s fantasy baseball service. If I can someday pay for the selective memory removal of Kruk pulling off…
