Well, let's get this out of the way: Congrats Seamus. And as a reminder, I'm very disappointed in the rest of you. For the next couple of nights, I'm going to eschew the usual NFL News I collect so we all can gather 'round and discuss the pertinent matter at hand -

Hi, I'm Beerguyrob. As I am Canadian, I am more than qualified to rant about the upcoming NHL season. Y'know, that sport which occupies the dead zone between NFL broadcasts which isn't basketball. I'll leave it to Forbes to argue about the relative valuation of each team. The NHL has been

Yeah sure, it's Friday the 13th. But we're ignoring that. Mostly because I just did that six months ago. But, did I ever tell you guys I got married on a Friday the 13th?

I went to the opening show of U2's tour the other night. I sat way, WAY up top. It was a good, but not great, show. They started strong, with all pre-"Joshua Tree" songs, including the one above. They sounded great. Then they played the whole album to the "conclusion". For

Random thoughts for a Sunday afternoon: Awful nice of John Elway to draft the nephew of the only QB with more Super Bowl losses than him. as Mr. Irrelevant, Chad Kelly will get a celebration in SoCal, promoted by Paul Salata. SBNation has a good write-up about the whole Mr. Irrelevant.
