"Waste Time With Us!" ™
First, y’all, I apologize for the long layoff … sometimes work and life just get in the way. One day I’ll write a book. Anyway, last week concluded this year’s SXSW event. Give it up to Spoon, the 2015 Grulke Prize winner for Career Act! One day I’ll make it to Houston for this event, even if my buddy, who

Mark Wahlberg has done a lot since his underwear days. Honestly I didn’t expect a whole lot from the Calvin Klein model. It always seemed to me that the height of his career would be the Funky Bunch and that Donny was headed up, up and away. Ha! Was I wrong or what! And, well, many of you might think

Don’t forget to also check out my NEW article on JPP! Jason Pierre Paul, affectionately called JPP by Giants fans, is going to be a free-agent in March. That is, unless the Giants slap the franchise or transition tag on him. It will be interesting to see what the Giants do with him. Of course public opinion on what the

Benson’s step-daughter (Rita), and Benson’s grand-kids (Renee and Ryan) believe he is one of the three. How do I know? Let me explain. As you may know, and as I reported here, Tom Benson’s step-child and her children requested that a court in New Orleans order that Tom Benson undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether he is competent to

As you may know, currently ongoing in San Antonio is a legal proceeding regarding Tom Benson, billionaire owner of the New Orleans Saints, regarding control over his many assets. On one side you have Tom’s child Renee and her two children Rita and Ryan, who once played significant roles in the Saints’ organization. On the other side is Tom’s third

On exiting the stadium, I heard Pete Carrol mumbling to himself. At first, I couldn’t make it out, but eventually, he got loud enough for me to hear. He was saying: “would’a, could’a, should’a.” Yep. That about sums up the last Seattle play of the Super Bowl. But enough talk bout the losers. I’m sure all you want to talk

Folks – nothing new to report today on either team’s secret plan to win the Super Bowl, but I would like to discuss this year’s Super Bowl ads, which will collectively be terrible. Not because any one of them is inherently bad, except of course the Budweiser dog commercial which totally misses its target population (more on that tomorrow), but

On Monday, Robert Kraft held a press conference during which he chastised Roger Goodell and others for jumping to conclusions, and demanding an apology from Goodell himself if and when the NFL investigation into Deflategate exonerates the Patriots. A day later, Goodell and Kraft met face to face during Media day. Off the record, here is their exchange: Goodell: Bobby,

Yesterday, the world learned that the Patriots do in fact have a secret underhanded plan to win the Superbowl. That plan, of coating their running back in baby oil, was exposed first by yours truly. Now, as a much liked member of the NFL press core, I am fortunate to have contacts at every level of every organization. And that

Deflategate in this football fan’s eyes was pure comedy. Basically we heard Belichick and Brady bob and weave through reporter questions giving political-sounding answers akin to those given by Bill Clinton when answering questions about Monica Lewinsky … “I’ve never had sexual relations with that woman.” Um, OK Bill. Define “sexual relations” for me. Anyway, with Deflategate winding down, the
