Testing a Live Blog


Is this what we’ve come to?

Okay, so I know I was bitching about the Favre coverage earlier in the week. I know I need to get over it. As Sonny told me tonight, “It’s a league full of bad quarterbacks…if he wants to play, he will.”
Yeah, I know, I get it. But still…if there’s so LITTLE going on in the [...]

Speed-dressing chick is apparently a Wolverine

There’s some controversy surrounding this JC Penney ad (not the least of which is that apparently it was never authorized by JC Penney in the first place):
How to Have Sex Without Your Parents Knowing
Okay, it’s a cute ad, and the concept works. Shame it’s not real. But why am I linking it?
The [...]

Tuesday Morning Hangover

Ah, nothing like a four-day blog weekend. Apologies to the regular readers who have been looking for some TMC action.
Actually, I was quite shocked to come here today and not see ANY stories on the Wimbledon final. I figured our tennis freaks here would still be using lotion and tissues after that…which, come to think [...]

Wimbledon Recap, Ready for the Quarters

Men’s Draw

Thus far, Wimbledon has been everything I’ve hoped for, and then some. The reemergence of Marat Safin as the athletic beast he is when he wants to be is great for Wimbledon. It wasn’t long ago that Safin had a tirade about how grass is for cows. Not only is Safin finally playing well [...]

June’s Greatest Misses

The highlights of TMC’s content extravaganza from the recently deceased month of June:
— Indiana Basketball loses its last scholarship player. Hilarity will not ensue.
— Turkey is a country with a rich history of conquest, technological advancement, and really fugly soccer uniforms.
— Electoral Colleges!
— Solemnly reflecting on the anniversary of the death of The National. No, [...]

Monday Morning Hangover

The weekend sucked. Nothing of intrinsic sports value went down. Yeah, you had Spain beating Germany, and that’s significant from a socio-cultural perspective, but the game itself was pretty vanilla — the German defense looked like they were sleepwalking through most of the match, and the Spanish (or as Tommy Smith would call them, “Spaniards”) [...]

Don’t worry Mr. Ricciardi, it could be worse ..

You could be this guy.
This was a public access show from NYC in 1990. And, well, whoever you are, Ken Sander, we salute you for taking the greatest litany of crank calls in world history. What follows is, well, I’ve never seen anything like it.

“Unforgettable” Woods now a head man

If not for Christian Laettner, Sean Woods might have the greatest highlight of the 1992 NCAA tournament. And possibly a national title.
Sixteen years ago in the East Regional Finals, Woods hit a running back shot to give Kentucky a 102-101 lead over Duke. Only 2.1 seconds remained. What could go wrong?
Um ….
Anyhow, life turned out [...]

Are Howard Stern’s minions calling the Toronto Blue Jays?

This one’s too good to pass up.
So the story goes like this: Last week on his radio show, Toronto general manager JP Ricciardi trashed Reds slugger Adam Dunn, saying he “doesn’t really like baseball much” and “We’ve done our homework on guys like Adam Dunn and there’s a reason why we don’t want Adam Dunn”.
Whoa.
Then, [...]
