    Where (And When) Does It End?

    Maybe when the Baby Boomer generation disappears into retirement. There was a column Paul Begala wrote a while back that still resonates today, especially now that the nation is enduring its worst financial crisis since the Great Depression...

    Missourian not immune to industry's ills

    It appears that college students at a top journalism school are learning first-hand how troubled the industry is. It's no wonder a generation is being driven away from a noble profession. http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/09/11/technology/jschool.php

    Seriously, what if newspapers did this?

    Newspapers would be wise to forge a relationship with cable providers. In exchange for free advertising, companies like Cox, Comcast or Time Warner could include the local paper as part of their cable packages. That way circulation could remain high and so would advertising rates. With the...

    Euro 2008 — Running Thread

    There's something about that song and the roar inside the stadiums after a goal is scored that sends chills down my spine. It's like an exclamation point to an awesome moment. It's the soundtrack that accompanies greatness. :)

    Euro 2008 — Running Thread

    Because it is so catchy, I wanted to pass along the theme music they play when somebody scores a goal. I wish this song would come on each time the alarm goes off in the morning.

    WTF is wrong with VH1?

    You mean Billy Ocean is still getting paid? And Howard Jones?

    WTF is wrong with VH1?

    Well, it's really cheap to run videos that are two decades old, as well. You already have an extensive vault. Open it, take out the videos, put them in the VCR, press play and beam them to households all over the country with your highfalutin satelites. It's so simple and yet it seems to...

    WTF is wrong with VH1?

    It's funny. All of the Viacom-owned music networks (MTV and VH1) started out by showing videos. Then they switched the programming format to reality and other shows, only to create alternate channels (MTV2, VH1 Classic) that play videos. But what is so stupid is that over the years the...

    Euro 2008 — Running Thread

    I take offense to that. Just kidding. In reality, the Italians played a very cynical brand of soccer today. Toni really was awful this tournament and I really question why Donadoni would wait so long to insert Del Piero. Del Piero is a playmaker whereas Toni is a player who relies on good...

    CNN gives contract extension to doddering old man

    Larry King is absolutely awful. His show has taken a turn for the worse since he moved out to Los Angeles to chase celebrity gossip. He has always been a sycophant, but at least 10 or 15 years ago he was kissing Al Gore's behind instead of the tookus of one Paris Hilton. His show and Headline...

    The Virginian-Pilot is seeking a sports writer

    Word on the street is the V-P has made a hire for this position.

    Warren Sapp to retire

    Considering how his NFL career began (draft day, in particular), I'd say he did pretty well for himself. It did seem as if a black cloud was hanging over him and everybody else in a Raiders uniform once he arrived in Oakland.

    Oxford American Sports Issue

    I didn't see a post on this. But I received a copy of the new Oxford American sports issue the other day. It's kind of eclectic. It had some interesting stuff, including a long feature on the death of Red Sox prospect Dernell Stenson, a piece by Wright Thompson on barbeque nachos at Ole Miss...

    Cam Cameron's head rolls off the chopping block.

    I always thought Parcells would come back to the Giants. And so did Dave Anderson of the New York Times. Here is an excerpt from a column he wrote in 1997: Four years ago, when the Giants were looking to replace Ray Handley, Young ignored Parcells, who joined the Patriots, and settled for Dan...

    Supreme Court Justice Bill Clinton?

    William Taft did it. So there is precedent. But in this politically charged day and age it's highly unlikely.
