(Daily disclaimer— This is a countdown of my personal 100 favorite songs of the 90’s, not necessarily the most commercially and/or critically successful tunes.) When people talk of amazing male vocalist over the past 15-20 years, it appalls me that Marc Anthony is rarely brought up. Whether it’s in English or his native Spanish, few … Read More
Favorite 100 Songs of the 90s: (#99) Shai – If I Ever Fall In Love
(Daily disclaimer— This is a countdown of my personal 100 favorite songs of the 90’s, not necessarily the most commercially and/or critically successful tunes.) Shai had one great R&B album in late 1992 and then may or may not have plummeted from the earth not long after—I honestly don’t know. But I’ll tell you this … Read More
Favorite 100 Songs of the 90s: (#100) House of Pain – Jump Around

Panthers 9, Bills 3: Random Thoughts
Sunday morning I picked the Buffalo Bills to lose in Carolina by “at least two scores”, concluding fans, the media and maybe the organization itself were a bit too high on themselves after beating the hapless New York Jets in their opener and also because legions of fans accompanied them to Charlotte this weekend. My … Read More
R.I.P. Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
Sunday turned into a very sad day for the professional wrestling world as the fans lost one of the very best to ever do it. WWE Hall of Famer Bobby “The Brain” Heenan passed away following a very long illness. In my opinion Heenan was not only the best manager in wrestling history but also … Read More

(Belated) Random Thoughts On The Buffalo Bills Opener
Sorry I’m late to the party with my takes on the Buffalo Bills opener. I live in Bradenton, Florida and have been dealing with Hurricane Irma issues over the past several days. I got to watch the game live on Sunday, most of it anyway and again via All-22 this morning, which considering I have … Read More
Bills Name Five Captains. Also, Having Five “Captains” Is Dumb
Last season, former Buffalo Bills head coach/fancy pants Rex Ryan rotated his team captains weekly because I’m assuming he thought it would motivate different guys and perhaps get into opponents’ heads (it didn’t). This year current head coach Sean McDermott isn’t playing any games. He named his five captains today—and it’s worth noting that having … Read More
