Writing this in the wee hours of the morning after watching the series finale of Damages on DirecTV not once, but twice to try and figure if investing five seasons was worth it. I think it was, but to be honest, the entire series as a mindfuck. And I think the producers intentionally made it […]

A few sports media thoughts on this Monday. Yes, they’re in bullet form. I finally had an opportunity to see Fox’s college football production on Saturday. While Gus Johnson and Charles Davis were on top of their form for Nebraska-UCLA, the same cannot be said about the studio. I missed the Pregame, but watched halftime […]

So weird to have the 4th of July in the middle of the week. You get the holiday after two work days and then have two work days afterwards. Some of you have the entire week off which is good, but for me, there’s no such thing as a vacation. In fact, I haven’t had […]
