The first season of Celebrity Big Brother comes out Wednesday, Feb. 7 at 8pm ET. on CBS, but the names of the participating celebrities didn’t really cause much of a stir. Speaking for myself, I only knew about half of the names, as some of them came from Real Housewives, etc. So it got me …
An old football-watching buddy of mine emailed me a few years ago reminiscing about a bad Super Bowl party or two that we had been to together. Tom reminded me of the time my brother-in-law invited us over to his house for the '99 Super Bowl (Falcons and Broncos), and then when we got there, …
There are certain moments that seem to define your life. My trip to the bathroom at Disney about 10 years ago was one of those moments. This story is long, but the payoff is worth it. Don’t be discouraged just because it’s called a “poop story.” It was a hot and humid day at the Magic …
While NFL blackout rules can certainly ruin a football fan's afternoon at home, it's still tough to argue that a day in the hot sun with bad seats is better than staying on the couch, with your beer-fetching dog (not code for your wife, btw). I understand that it is all part of the experience …
Every now and then, I’ll come across a sports story that I assume everyone around me is familiar with. Then I realize, I’m an old bastard, and the guys around me are mostly in their 20s. So then I have storytime. It’s like when your grandpa tells you about the Heidi Game. I also figured most …
I’m 40 years old, which means that my formative years (from 6-15 years old) were in the perfect Saturday Morning Cartoons time period of 1977-86. Five years earlier (1971) and there would have been way fewer cartoons available to watch on Saturday (there wasn’t even any electric back then!) And five later (1991), after the …
A good piece of chocolate can make your day better. Diabetes, obesity, bad skin, spoiled dinners and chocolate smears on your face aside, the best candy bars ever make life awesome! My friends at FifthPeriodLunch.com posted a blog listing the top five candy bars ever. Check it out when you get a chance, and without …
People that know me know I’m serious about three things: Dogs that look like people, “Three’s Company” fan fiction – and snack chips. There’s nothing worse than going to someone’s house for a party, and finding out their idea of the best chips ever is a half-open bag of store-brand potato chips, with some organic …
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Donovan, The Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns N’ Roses (Why is the apostrophe on the “N” like that?), along with several people you haven’t heard of, in 2012. There are very few current bands I would consider “rock bands,” like Foo Fighters, Chili Peppers, …
People that know me know I love three things: Spicy things, popcorn and wearing skinny jeans. (OK, notsomuch the third, but I like to keep you on your toes.) So I thought I’d take some time out to share with you my Spicy Popcorn recipe, which should make any game-watching activities even greater. It ain’t …
This year’s draft class of rookies is loaded full of NBA talent and every one is excited to get in on the action in Fantasy Basketball. The analysts (read fortune tellers) at FiveThirtyEight had this to say about his year’s group: “While there figure to be fewer future superstars available this year than in 2014’s rookie …
It has felt like ages since my last Interrogate the Industry post. For that I apologize. I think due to the peak of the Fantasy Football season, the Holidays, illnesses things often get put on the back burner for everyone. I wasn't ignoring the posts as much as not over concerning myself making sure folks …
