I don’t know why this kind of stuff interests me, but it does. CNBC sports business reporter Darren Rovell blogged today about the future of live sports broadcasts on the radio, reporting that the New York Islanders are becoming the third NHL team to do away with their radio broadcasters in favor of a TV […]

The Diaper List
Inspired by a recent movie called The Bucket List, my friend Brandon started referring to his own version of such a list. Unlike the stars of the movie (Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson), his list isn’t about what he wants to do before he dies (or “kicks the bucket”). Rather, he has what he calls […]
Friday Notes: August 3, 2007
Today marks my 14-month wedding anniversary, so it’s a pretty good day. Here are some notes for this week: The Braves need to stop playing extra-inning games, especially if they’re going to lose them. I didn’t watch much of last night’s game (too much basketball and NCAA 08 to be played), but I’m sure it […]
Is this the darkest time in sports history?
This post started out as a comment on ME’s open thread today (where he mentioned Mike Vick), but it developed into a coherent-enough thought that I figured I’d post it here. Last night during supper, I was watching a discussion on ESPN between Jim Rome and Stephen A. Smith about this being the darkest time […]
On the All-Star Game and Drive-time radio
I’ve mentioned before that I listen to more talk radio than actual music now when I’m driving around town. The idea of having a permanent home now, coupled with the declining variability of my taste in music has made sports talk a more appealing option on my way to and from work. That means I […]
Friday Notes: June 29, 2007
For those of you not in line to buy an iPhone, I have a few notes: I watched the NBA Draft last night with a couple of friends, even though it was mostly an excuse to talk about the Hawks’ new logo and fantasy football. Oden and Durant are interesting players, but I have a […]
Friday Notes: June 15, 2007
Here’s a little bit of what’s going on in my world: Melissa and I gave in and bought an HDTV last weekend, a Vizio 42″ model with 720p resolution. I was suitably impressed with the combination of decent reviews and an excellent price point (from Sam’s Club). Other than my house, it’s probably the single […]
Friday Notes: June 8, 2007
In lieu of a post about the Braves’ relievers (I’ll do that next week), I’ll mention a few other goings-on. VBS – June 11-13 If you live in the Chattanooga area and need something for your kids to do next week (or, more aptly, need something better for them to do), I suggest Vacation Bible […]
Friday Notes: June 1, 2007
First Anniversary Melissa and I will share our first anniversary on Sunday. It’s hard to believe we’ve been married a whole year because so many things have happened since June 3, 2006. I became the brother-in-law of a great friend, got my first full-time accounting job, began and quit grad school, had a car mysteriously […]
March Madness: Second Round Review
The Sweet Sixteen are set, and there are exactly zero real surprises and great stories. Sure, we get some interesting matchups (I’m looking forward to both of the South Regional matchups, and it will be interesting to see if USC can keep up their great effort against UNC), but where are the upsets? Is UNLV, […]
