Let’s skip the pleasantries. Sunday night was Smackdown’s turn to put on a PPV and “Money in the Bank” was a huge pile of shit. Not just any shit—but a steaming, stinking pile of it. It was appalling, one of the worst shows I’ve bothered to watch in its entirety in a long time. Many … Read More
Before there was One Direction, N’Sync, Backstreet Boys and a million other boy band groups including late 80s phenomenon New Kids on the Block, there was New Edition. Not since their arrival to the pop music scene have I enjoyed a group more. The group was originally discovered by Maurice Starr in 1981 at a … Read More
WWE: Smackdown presented their Money in the Bank PPV last night and while the main event was exciting, the show was an overall piece of shit. Here’s a recap from ESPN, who’s a little more generous in their assessment than I’d be. YANKEES: The New York Yankees are starting to suck. OK, maybe that’s a … Read More
Suddenly, the overachieving 2017 New York Yankees have problems. They’re getting drilled with injuries. Gary Sanchez (groin) and Aaron Hicks (Achilles) appear to have dodged a bullet and are considered day-to-day, but valuable relief pitcher Adam Warren wasn’t so lucky, as he was placed on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. Things aren’t great … Read More

Of course, they’ll be doing so not just with a new head coach in Sean McDermott but a boatload of new players, both free agents and draft picks. Let’s list and briefly discuss them—in order of least to most … Read More
Never did a song make me wish I had girlfriend with a specific first name solely so I can play a song for her more than Toto’s “Rosanna” in `1982. Unfortunately I struck out in the girlfriend department during those days seeing I was 11, and in hindsight I’m not confident I even knew a … Read More

YANKEES: New York is suddenly in a slump after losing their third straight on the west coast, 8-7 to Oakland in extra innings. Giovanny … Read More
The new head coach of the Buffalo Sabres, its 18th in team history is a face most fans are familiar with. The team announced today that Phil Housley got the job. Housley had been an assistant coach in Nashville since 2013 and helped guide the Predators to their first Stanley Cup final this past season. … Read More
As a young child, there’s precious few bass guitar leads I remember more fondly than Maneater. Honestly, if the entire 4:31 had zero vocals and contained nothing else than the baseline I’d be satisfied. Of course, Darryl Hall (and I guess Oates too) do sing in it and do so quite well. This is the … Read More
