Just a quick note one of my favorite shows, The Office, is coming back tonight with new episodes on NBC. I was just getting into The Office after ignoring its first couple of seasons. Unfortunately the writer’s strike killed my office groove as the new season abruptly went into hiatus. The Office is a great […]

Ben Koo is hitting the road soon but wanted to update you on a couple of things. A couple of blogs ago I commented on how head coach Joe Paterno was losing his effectiveness as a coach and mentor at Penn State. The media seems to have largely ignored the pattern of disciplinary issues. However […]

Tonight’s game was a great gift for the casual fan who committed themselves to watching this overtime thriller. I will try to post video highlights and maybe some photos of what has to be the party of the century in Lawrence, Kansas when they become available (School has been canceled) As I drove to work […]

Didn’t see much I liked in the way of new commercials this weeks but was impressed with the new Iphone Bet Commercial. Apple’s marketing across all their product lines are targeted, recognizaeblle, and consistent. Although its overkill, their market shares for all their products have been trending up as more and more consumers begin to […]

I am a mild fan of South Park as sometimes its the spot and other times its a little too ridiculous. I watched tonights episode and was entertained that the show decided to mock various youtube Phenomenas. The premise was pretty ridiculous as the entire country of Canada went on strike demanding more “internet money” […]

I saw or heard about a lot of interesting April Fools jokes. ESPN pulled a good once on its viewers with a fake breaking news story that Davidson was still in the NCAA tourney and that the last 20 seconds of the Elite 8 game would have to be replayed. Peter Fuitak at collegefootballnews.com had […]

There are probably only 2 products that I have, that I would say I am addicted to. The first being my strong addiction for Lemon Propel (mmm) and second my Apple Iphone. Today a couple of blog worthy items surfaced about my favorite gadget. First the Wall Street Journal wrote an in depth piece on […]

-Yesterday I blogged about Justin Boren’s surprising transfer away from Michigan. Today we got some insight into his decision, with some very harsh words about the new Michigan regime. “I regret leaving behind my friends and teammates, but I need to stand up for what I know is right.

Here are some mid week thoughts on the world of sports. – The MLB season kicked off this early morning with the A’s playing the Redsox in…… Japan. This 2 game series will count before both teams fly back to the states to play a couple of exhibition games, before once again starting the regular […]

Lots of cool commercial have been debuting this week, but I got to show love for this nostalgic Pontiac ad. Spy hunter was a very popular arcade and Nintendo game in the 80’s. If you are a guy between the ages of 25-40, chances are you probably are at least semi familiar with it. Looking […]

Today Terrelle Pryor announced that he will join the 2008 Ohio State football recruiting class. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVQYQ33wmAw&hl=en&fs=1 The above video is a lot better than ESPN’s live feed who butchered it by cutting to the annoucement after the cat was out of the bag. Pryor is the number one rated high school football player in the […]

For years media companies have struggled on how to distribute their content online. Youtube postings were illegal in most cases but had the most traffic while corporate websites like nbc.com and mtv.com gave companies control of the content yet were not built as user friendly web video depositories. Similar to how Itunes was the pioneering […]
