2010 Eagles UniDictions (uniform + predictions) – Week 2 – Lions
A lot of stories coming out of last week’s season opener against the Packers. Injuries, a quarterback conundrum (don’t call it a controversy!), and what turned out to be a pretty good uniform match-up. The 1960 throwbacks, which I publicly gave a “meh” opinion, actually worked quite well on the field. And oh yeah…my […]

2010 Eagles UniDictions (uniform + predictions) – Week 1 – Packers
This has been cross-posted on crossingbroad.com, a great destination for Philadelphia sports news. Being that all predictions for the NFL season thus far are based on a combination of last year’s results and four pre-season games (The NFL Pre-Season — The four weeks when your friends with season tickets slightly regret their purchase!), we might as […]

Eagles 2010 Uniform Round-Up – The 1960 Throwback
This has been cross-posted on Crossing Broad, an up-and-coming Philadelphia Sports destination — heck, they’re the ones who broke the story that Dorney Park was the first rehab assignment for Ryan Howard… Lil’ Shebaz: Patriot, Martyr, Wide Receiver. It’s that time of year – the notable roster additions and subtractions have been discussed, the expected […]

2010 Academy Awards
Alec and Steve were the only friends left at “Oscar’s” birthday party after mom kicked Kratos out after “the incident.” Some quick thoughts opinions: The “interpretive” dancing to accompany the Best Music (Original Score) nominees was tacky and plain-old ridiculous. Being that the music was written for a movie, why not show either a) a […]

The End of Scrubs, the Sequel
Following up on my original, hopeful take on whether Scrubs was really going to end two years ago, another is-it-or-isn’t-it the end episode aired last night. First and foremost, give the cast and crew of Scrubs and ABC (yes, the network) all the credit in the world for ignoring the absolutely awful, rather pointless seventh […]

Urgent Warning Review: The Last Templar
Later tonight, NBC will be showing the second half of the two part “The Last Templar” mini-series. DO NOT WATCH THIS. It’s rare that I feel tasked to present my opinion as a public warning, but it is entirely, absolutely necessary in this case. I’m not proud of myself, but I fell for the “well, […]

Z2K9 — The Day the Music Froze During the Loading Screen
Update 1/1/2009: All better. The thing “fixed” itself. I was this close to composing a strongly worded letter written under only natural light. In the time between beginning this post and finishing it, it looks like Microsoft formally announced a solution to the issue, the always exciting “it’ll fix itself tomorrow.” Of course, that doesn’t […]

When in-character WWE wrestlers interview movie stars.
Check out these two videos of “The Miz” interviewing the cast and director of “The Dark Knight.” I realized that the hype machine for the movie was pretty crazy (even crazier now that it’s obvious that the movie could have sold itself on its own merits), but I had no idea they were so desperate […]

The Big Bang Theory
Quick TV Review… If you don’t watch “The Big Bang Theory,” give it a chance. CBS Mondays at 8:00 and online. Sure, the premise is ridiculous (two super-nerds move next door to the proverbial sitcom “hot babe” and hilarious antics ensue — See, they don’t know how to relate! She likes shopping, they like Star […]
