Stern's Nervous, Iowa's Mt. Rushmore, Maxim 100

The Lakers lose the first two games at home. This is great news for those who want to see someone else win the title, bad news for the NBA. Lakers=ratings. David Stern may make the Mavericks play with four in the next two games...

Great to hear television icon Michael J. Fox will return for the Principal Charity Classic Pro-Am. Fox gives clinics in comic timing---even with Parkinson's...

On the Murph & Andy Show Wednesday, we asked our listeners to help us decide Iowa's Mt. Rushmore of sports. Candidates didn't have to be born in Iowa, just thought of as Iowans (e.g. Fred Hoiberg, born in Nebraska, known as an Iowa guy). We decided on: Bob Feller, Dan Gable, Nile Kinnick, and Kurt Warner. There were many passionate suggestions, but no one convinced us to knock one of the previous guys off the mountain. There's not much diversity---four white guys---which also makes it like Mt. Rushmore. Our top female was four-time Olympic medalist Shawn Johnson. The most frequently mentioned African-American was Jack Trice...

As I type, the Red Sox just rallied to tie the Angels in the bottom of the 9th at Fenway. It's 1:20 a.m. in Boston after a long rain delay. To quote Roy Hobbs, "God, I love baseball"...


Feds ask NCAA "why  no football playoff?" I know we got Bin Laden, but let's go to work on bringing our troops home, the economy, gas prices, or something else more important than football...

After last night's blog, livingbig wants to know why I mentioned the Maxim Hot 100 list http://www.maxim.com/amg/GIRLS/Articles/2011+Hot+100, says it seems like it's out of place. Out of place? Everything in these random collection of scatter shot thoughts doesn't really belong to any theme. It's just a stream of consciousness. I hope you find something to enjoy each day. Not all are for everybody... (Minka Kelly represents my favorite show, the soon departing, and criminally under-watched Friday Night Lights)
See All

Thanks for stopping by...
