Jay Mariotti: Lurking Tormenter of the Chicago Bar Scene

J.Cole pt.5

In an open letter, Cole describes his recent tour (with Jay-Z).

J.Cole's Website

I post a lot about this dude but in my opinion he is just what hip-hop needs. I love hip-hop and want to see it progress. This guy is part of the solution.

Joe Mauer

The AL MVP's next contract could be ground-breaking.

Curb Your Enthusiasm

With all due respect to It's Always Sunny and Philadelphia and 30 Rock, in my opinion Curb Your Enthusiasm is the funniest show on TV. He may be offensive, neurotic and sometimes a bit awkward but Larry David is hilarious. As is Leon, "I just went in that room and white'd that shit the fuck up!"

Some funny season 7 moments

Leon as Danny Duberstein

The Splashback

Relapse 2

I'm in the minority when I say that I liked Relapse and that's fine by me. Glad to see Eminem back and glad to see Refill dropping December 22nd.

Glimpse: A night on the road with J.Cole

Someday...

At some point in my life, I will see Jay-Z in concert.

T-Wolves Update

Not much to be said about the T-Wolves as of late, a 1-9 record will do that, so I will let David Kahn explain.

FOX News

The most recent episode of South Park took on Glenn Beck while The Daily Show's Jon Stewart has had an ongoing feud with Sean Hannity. It just isn't plausible to believe anything FOX reports or as Jon Stewart would say: FOX News Channel - We alter reality. You are sold a preconceived narrative.

Some funny Glenn Beck impersonations. This dude is such a moron.

JJ Hardy

With the emergence of Denard Span as the Twins everyday center fielder and leadoff hitter and Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel and Delmon Young occupying the corner outfield spots, it should come as no surprise that GM Bill Smith traded Carlos Gomez today. Does the acquisition of Hardy mean Orlando Cabrera is on his way out? We shall see. Here's to hoping that Hardy regains his 07' and 08' form.

Opinion: Some good thoughts on the media and the Timberwolves

Colbert Nation

Colbert loves the Olympics, case and point.

Wrong Team Dude

Aren't you supposed to tackle the opposing team? This guy hasn't figured that out yet.

After 8 games

So this whole Favre thing is working out rather nicely huh? To be honest, this is probably the most excited I have ever been about the Vikings. 98' was comparable, 15-1 will excite anybody, but something special is brewing in Winter Park this year. The past couple years the Vikings have been good but they didn't really seem to play with any passion, almost like they lacked confidence or didn't expect to win. Brett Favre has changed all that. He has brought with him a winning agenda and that has filtered down through the whole organization. Every player seems to be playing better than they ever have and when the talent level is as high as it is in Minnesota, that equates to victories. I have held off proclaiming anything about the Vikings until now because I don't want to get ahead of myself, but these are some bad boys. Sweeping the Packers, beating the Ravens and narrowly missing victory in Steelerland has assured me that the Vikes are for real. How real? Only time will tell.

T-Wolves update -

After losing to the Suns last night, the Timberwolves are 1-2. They beat the Nets on opening night and lost to King James in the second game of the season. Opinions should not be based on the team's record however, as both GM David Kahn and Coach Rambis have said that the season is more about player evaluation and less about wins and losses. That being said, they don't look half bad. Chris Paul 2 (Jonny Flynn) is averaging 15.3 points a game and just looks like an NBA point guard. He can handle the ball, direct the offense, run the fast break and already seems to be commanding the respect of his teammates. This kid is special. Big Al looks a little lost in Rambis' modified triangle offense but eventually he will find his way. Gomes has been knocking shots down and Corey Brewer looks healthy and maybe even a few pounds heavier, which he needed. Wayne Ellington has been a nice surprise averaging 6.3 points in just under 23 minutes. Ellington could be a very nice player. He has range to Fargo and has championship pedigree. It is only 3 games in but the guys are playing hard and adapting to Coach Rambis' system. Encouraging start, excited to see how the T-Wolves will progress.

Sounds about right

Half-man half-idiot would be my description of A-Rod, but this works too.

If you think J.J. Redick's only talent is knocking down wide open 3's you are mistaken
