I got to a sports bar in Seekonk, MA right before 8 p.m. and while I knew I was not going to get a seat to watch Game 6 of the ALCS between the Red Sox and Tampa Bay, I certainly was not expecting to see “Bloopers and Practical Jokes” with a pre-stroke Dick Clark. […]

Last night, I was so tired that I didn’t even bother to crack open the laptop and just watched “The American Experience” on my local PBS channel. Since there was no NHL or MLB and NFL Network was doing its usual “NFL Replay” programming, I decided that I would go to bed early and not […]
