Economy? What’s An Economy?

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Have a gander at Eclipse, the world's biggest private yacht. It boasts a missile defense system, two helipads, and an escape submarine along with many, many other ridiculously expensive features. It cost 300 million pounds (about $600 million) to build in German shipyards and is scheduled to be delivered to ...

You Suck, Tim Sylvia

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

You know who's pissed about Ray Mercer's nine-second KO of former UFC heavyweight champion Tim Sylvia (I mean, other than Sylvia himself)? Fedor Emilianenko. Because now his own quick submission of Sylvia doesn't look nearly as impressive as it did at the time. Dana White has to be laughing his ...

This week, Real Madrid dined on duck - and his name was Scrooge McDuck. That's the only explanation. The Spanish soccer giants must have seduced Uncle Scrooge, got the combination to his vault and then cooked the son of a bitch.

Pirates Rookie Ready For Prime Time

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

There's usually not much reason to watch the Pittsburgh Pirates. And it's painful to be one of their fans. But rookie center fielder Andrew McCutchen is certainly going to try and change that. Now, I had a headstart on this kid because I live in Indianapolis (home of the Pirates' AAA-affiliate). I'm ...

To Watch Tonight…How About Two Mules?

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Incredible Dog Challenge (ESPN2, 7 p.m.): I have no idea what this means or what these dogs will do that's so "incredible." Then again, the mystery of it all is kind of exciting, isn't it? NBA Finals Game 4, Los Angeles at Orlando (ABC, 9 p.m.): This is the game where ...

Failure Is Not Only An Option, It’s Celebrated

Bobby Kennedy once said, “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” There’s no doubting I’m a failure by society’s standards. I hold a college degree yet have no job. I have no girlfriend or wife. My bank account is subsidized by family. And every time I play ...
