For no good reason other than because I can, I give you two Aerosmith videos starring the lovely Alicia Silversone. This was when she became a household name, thanks to airplay on MTV. First, Alicia with Liv Tyler in Crazy. This is the Director’s Cut. Like we need a Director’s Cut to be reminded how […]

Wow. What can I say? After being down on this series for a year and a half, I must say I’m totally back in Lost’s camp. This two hour finale was tremendous. Not only is the entire series thrown for a loop, but you have Jack in a downward spiral. You’ve got Ben dead. Mr. […]

With the NBA Draft Lottery over, Boston Celtics fans are wondering what they did to deserve 21 years of bad luck. Twenty one years goes back to the last time the Celtics won an NBA Championship and fans were hoping last night’s lottery would be the beginning of the end of two generations of discontent. […]

Yes, the guys are hitting on her. Wouldn’t you? And my […]

I’m still sad over the replacement of Jerry Trupiano from the Red Sox Radio Network. I’m one of those Red Sox fans who don’t like change and I grew accustomed to listening to Joe Castiglione and Trup every year. Last season, I started to hear inklings that he could be replaced and I was hoping […]

Ok, my favorite show from 2001-2006 went poorly over the first 22 episodes of 2007. It went slowly. There were few highlights, little action, the Bauer family storyline went over like a stone sinking in water. There were a lot of borrowed storylines, Arab terrorist threat, nuclear bomb threat, a President Palmer being overthrown, no […]

Wow, I’m not the only one blogging about Ninja Warrior. Here’s something from the lesbian website, After Ellen. The writing from Kaki Flynn is quite accurate about the show and there’s even a clip from the original Japanese broadcast there.

You know what I find myself watching more and more these days? G4’s Ninja Warrior. It’s a competition that is very popular in Japan. Called Sasuke, it’s a massive competition of 100 participants who must complete an obstacle course in four stages. Whenever G4 has a marathon of this program, I’ll plop myself in front […]

In a move that smells to high heaven, Ron Borges has quote, retired, unquote. This move came late on Friday night. It also comes just one week after Borgie returned to work from a two month suspension, and just after he wrote one piece for the Boston Globe. When he returned two Thursdays ago, Borgie […]
