This Was No Boating Accident!

Real life merges with my favorite movie!
Do you suppose there’s an asshole Mayor who won’t listen to reason?
Are there teenagers on sailboats to get chomped?
Is there a shirtless Dennis Quaid anywhere?  (1983 Quaid, not now Quaid.  I’ve seen Vantage Point.  Yikes.)

That’s What I Get For Trying to Get Some Sleep

Last night my friend Will Leitch appeared on Costas Now, a panel discussion on HBO. He was on with Braylon Edwards and Buzz Bissinger (author of Friday Night Lights). I didn’t watch it because I had just finally finished my Cyberlaw paper (which, incidentally, is about online sports coverage. Section III of [...]

American Idol Results

We kick it off with Seacrest being all dramatic about someone going home and there’s a weird moment where he tells Jason C to stop grinning.  Maybe he was kidding, but you can kinda tell if the Idols aren’t doing exactly what Seacrest wants he will not hesitate to cut a bitch. (more…

DC Trip

The DC trip was awesome.  First, we had the baseball game on Saturday.  A bunch of Deadspinners met up at The Pour House around 3 pm and had a few beers together.  We headed for the game around 5:30 and then I miserably watched the Cardinals get shelled.  The 2nd baseman riding the bench even [...]

Taking Grand Rapids By Storm!

I have arrived!  Not much to report:  found my digs, got some groceries, drove around to get a feel for the place, found a glorious Mecca where I could have a beer, watch the games, eat a delicious steak with a side of absolutely amazing smashed cauliflower and also use free wireless internet.  It is [...]

Survivor: Great season? Or best season ever?

Previously, Boo ruled the school on challenges and Smarmy Alex was sent packing. WOO! Tonight, we start with Boo orchestrating a hiding spot at the waterin’ hole. He’s [...]

American Idol: Ding Dong the Creepy Manchild is Dead

Alright so we kick off tonight with a retread on Simon’s eye roll from last night. Seriously y’all, it’s like Eye Rollgate. We even have synced up Zapruder-like tape to prove that Simon’s eye roll was in response to a judges’ table conversation and he wasn’t even paying attention to Chris Richardson’s VaTech shout-out. That’s [...]

American Idol: Get Out Your Maracas

Okay, tonight is Latin night here on American Idol. But what that really means is “Miami Sound Machine and Santana” night. J-Lo is here as the guest vocal coach and while I don’t particularly care for her, she gives some good advice and looks really delightful to work with. So that’s cool. [...]

Survivor: My Parents are Fun

So, I’m home for Easter and last night I watched Survivor with Mama and Papa Lady Andrea. (Their actual names are Brenda and Mark). That was a hoot, but I didn’t take any notes because we were just having a good time hanging out, so this is a significantly abbreviated Survivor recap.
Over at Ravu, Stupid [...]
