Chasing October
Matt Liston is very passionate about his Chicago Cubs... ok, he's obsessed with his Chicago Cubs. But after waiting 100 years for a ring who can blame him, right? Liston does everything he can to get people on board the Cubs-Believe-Bandwagon... he shouts into a bullhorn that people should leave work at go to Wrigley, he spends $2,000 on a [...]
Really? Gabe Kapler?
I was always a fan of Gabe Kapler back when he was coming up in the Tigers system in the late 1990's, but I almost sprayed Dr. Pepper all over my laptop when I saw this in Phil Rogers most recent Chicago Tribune article: Perhaps even more remarkable is the comeback of outfielder Gabe Kapler, who just signed a one-year, non-guaranteed contract [...]
12 steps for the complainer in your life
I think you could almost say that I make complaining an art form. The Cubs went from dead last to the playoffs in one year, and all I can focus on is their early exit from the playoffs (ok, that was a pretty common complaint). I get a great producer gig in a larger market, with better pay and the first thing I tell anyone is "yeah, but it's back [...]
Jericho: The Return
Somehow I had managed not to post about this up until now, but Jericho will be making it's triumphant return to the airwaves on February 12th... well, somewhat triumphant since they aren't guaranteed anything past the seven episodes that they've filmed. The series was supposed to come back mid-season, so it seems like the date was probably picked [...]
Two for the price of one
For you Milwaukee folks in need of an Early Spin fix... and really, who doesn't need an Early Spin fix... there is good news, in the form of the Cystic Fibrosis Improvfest. Not only do you get to see Dan Deibert, but you also get to support a worthwhile cause: I’d like to let you know that I’ll be the emcee for CFI: Cystic Fibrosis [...]
Long national nightmare finally over
Good news, John Kerry's threats of Senate hearings forced the NFL to agree to simulcast the Patriots drive to 16-0 on not one but two networks: The New England Patriots' shot at history Saturday night will be available for every household in the country with a television after months of wrangling. The game against the New York Giants, in [...]
Merry Christmas!
I'm not sure how much I'll be around for the next few days... I guess that depends on whether or not my furniture finally arrives tomorrow... but before all of that excitement starts I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas. Dan posted a great Charlie Brown clip that talks about the true meaning of Christmas. I've decided to take the lower [...]
