Unlike many kingpins who use violence or money to solve his problems, Proposition Joe preferred to offer his rivals an option. With his trademark phrase “I got a proposition for you” Joe would set up a deal that benefited both parties. Not only did this help reduce bloodshed in Baltimore by nearly 3% (before Joe […]
There is an infestation in my household. It seems to be multiplying every time I look up and honestly, I don’t see any way out of it. Try as I might, every week I see eight new ones appear, as if out of thin air. I’ve tried everything I could do to stop it, but […]
Loyal readers (reader?), I have failed you. It gives me no joy to admit this, but I dropped the ball. It is my duty, nay, my honor to provide the most ridiculous topics to rant and complain about. I’m both humbled and saddened by this, but will present you the best blog I can on […]
After six months of the longest grind in professional sports – the media continuing to pull football story lines out of their ass, we’ve finally made it. After eliminating all the pretenders this year, we’re left with the only good team in the NFL, and the team that would have been good if their QB […]
I remember as a child, my family would go up to both Sesame Place and Hershey Park. Both of these places were awesome in their own, unique ways.

Although it seems cartoons run forever, they usually only have 2-3 years where new episodes are created. The run of a show like Spongebob, which has been around for 20 years, or even an adult cartoon, like the Simpsons* are the exceptions to the rule. The reason cartoons feel like they run forever is because […]
Just a season ago, the NFL was experiencing a quarterback renaissance. There were the old guard who did not appear to be slowing down. The new era QBs all made strides to entrench themselves as franchise saviors. A few quarterbacks burst on the scene, raising expectations for themselves and their teams. It looks as though […]
Kid’s shows tend to be some of the weirdest programs on TV. Now, I’m not talking about cartoons in general. Some cartoons are designed to be weird for the sake of being weird, and are targeted at older children. I’m referring to shows for the preschoolers; the type that should be educating the youth on […]
At the age of 30, I finished Harry Potter. It was honestly only about a month ago. I’m not sure if I should be proud of this fact, or embarrassed. Like most kids, I started reading the series when it came out. I read through the first 4 books, and was gifted the 5th book […]
