Monday, September 25th, 2006

- Who breaks off an engagement with a Playboy model??? Aaron Carter, that’s who.

- Sure, Jay, you ACCIDENTALLY fouled off a baseball into your wife’s rib cage… sure you did…

- …and just in time for my SUV… 

- Has everyone seen the Google Personal Homepage?  Plain and to the point with a lot of options… like the ability to play PacMan, right on the page!

Burning Question #1: Brunell???

Mid-Afternoon Voting

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

- Make sure you take a second to vote for Otto (he needs the help – Thank Karen for the link)

- Joey Porters’ dogs take out loss to Jaguars on Horse

- Seth Meyers get’s promoted: True story – I used to know Seth when I “worked” at SNL.  Good guy, very down to earth. Anyhow, the story is that me and some other Pages were sitting the audience at NBC’s 75th Anniversary. Everyone was there – Bob Wright (Pres and CEO of NBC), Jeff Zucker, Gary Cole, Dustin “Screech” Diamond – and we’re running around like madmen sitting people and moving them around.  So I’m running through one of the row when my leg SLAMS someone in the back of the head. I started to freak (you don’t slam the head of NBC’s President… you just don’t).  It turns out, it was the head of Seth Meyers.  So I leaned down and apologized and then said, “Of anyone in this room I could have done it to, I’m glad it was you.”  He laughed.  Nice guy

- Happy New Year to my Jewish brethren

Early Morning Freebie

Friday, September 22nd, 2006

- Like we could be swayed that easily by the prospect of free coffee (! – click the link, free DD coffee!)… I mean, if it was Starbucks…

- Speaking of Starbuck, they have a lot of chutzpa (that Yiddish for “balls” or “moxy”) increasing the price of their coffee.  Which brings me to a beef I have: With movies over $10 and beer at baseball games headed towards $8, at what point do we, as Americans, say “NO!”? At some point we all have to stop paying these outrages prices on items we know don’t cost that much.  If we continue to pay $4 for a cup of coffee, the price will keep going up.  We need to draw the line, and we need to draw it soon. Lucky, you can still get a Slurpee for $1!

- Scott Engle is dead to me.  Especially when he writes crap like, “Roy Williams certainly doesn’t appear to be on his way to the big breakthrough year many of us expected for him in 2006.” I STILL EXPECT IT!

- Don’t worry Karl: If you can’t do it, the Dem’s will figure out a way to shoot themselves before the elections.

Countdown to Portis

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

- I think I just peed myself: “They can expect a full-throttle Portis,” Portis said. “It’s no setbacks or limited plays for me.”

- There are time in this country that you just have to sit back and say, “What the fuck is wrong with us?” (thanks Scott for the link)

- Yeah, ok Horatio… it was your decision to leave SNL… uh-huh….

- It’s a internet classic: Diet Coke + Mentos = Gold, baby, gold

Countdown to TV Premieres

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

- If the “will they or won’t they” suspense around Jim and Pam isn’t killing you, then you’re not human.  You’re a friggin’ ROBOT! Find out what happens, tonight!!!

- Speaking of long overdue premieres, welcome back to Grey’s Anatomy.  Yeah, I got hooked after the Super Bowl episode too… (there, I finally admitted it)

- I enjoyed “Studio 60” the other night.  The peacocks at NBC are really going out here, from this blog, to a mock up of Variety, NBC is really embracing this Internet thing…

- And, since this is all about TV premieres, let me mention that “Earl” returns tonight.  Which means one things: More Jamie Pressley

Viral Marketing

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

- New and Interesting Television Marketing: Yes, but do they work???

- Horatio and Parnell are gone. Long overdue.

- “The Bronx is Burning” is a great book that looks at New York in the 1970’s and the impact of everything from the Yankee’s acquisition of Reggie Jackson to how the NY Post came to be.  I’m reading it now, if you want to borrow if when I’m done.  If not, definitely catch the mini-series on ESPN in July

- Should Jason Giambi really be throwing stones?

Viral Vegas

Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

- Opening “Showgirls The Musical” in Las Vegas seems redundant

- Tiger golf all day and hit’s that all night.  Lucky m*therf*cker.

- I know I said it yesterday, but again, it’s sooo good to have you back Peter: “The first clue that my cell towers were intact came right around the trading deadline, approximately a month after my aneurysm… I was perusing the morning box scores in the Cape Cod Times when I brusquely asked my nurse, ‘Linda, how did Austin Kearns get to the Nationals?’”

- I always enjoy it when an article get’s right to the point, like this one from MSNBC: “A drunken Chinese migrant worker jumped into a panda enclosure at the Beijing Zoo, was bitten by the bear and retaliated by chomping down on the animal’s back…”
