    Rachael Ray -- WTF?!

    Sorry, but the second item in the NYDN is far more interesting than Rachael Ray will ever be. Kristanna Loken, "Terminator 3" fembot extraordinaire, has given a big wink and a nod to rumors that she's hooked up with Michelle Rodriguez, the "Fast and the Furious" babe whose character was...

    Is the media a tool of the police?

    I hate it when the argument against dropping the police logs is "but it's one of the most read parts of the paper."

    Can they pry him away from the Dolphins' job he just took?

    Who's next for the Dallas Cowboys?

    What would Jerry care? He's building a new one anyway. [edit] And for the record, I, for one, didn't cheer when he was hired. I even cringed a little -- between my cheering -- when he won the SB because I knew that some people would use that fact to validate his hiring.

    300

    Just out of curiousity, why? Not saying you're wrong. Like I said, I think Miller is a genius, but his style is not for everybody. I loved Sin City the Movie because I felt it stayed very close to Miller's graphic novel vision. 300 looks like it's following the same path.

    Old NH Register scribe passes

    The day before the NH Coliseum -- where the press box is named after him -- got the wrecking ball. Tom McCormack, who spent parts of five decades covering sports for the New Haven Journal-Courier and Register died Friday morning at the Hospital of St. Raphael. McCormack, who had been in...

    The New Yorker on 'The Unbeautiful Game'

    Here's the thing. Everybody benches about TO and Chad Johnson and their ilk, and the ESPN-azation of today's superstars. Deion was all talk and no tackle. Vick needs to learn how to pass rather than run all wily-nily. And the '90s Cowboys/2006 Bengals set a tragic example to our youth with their...

    Those who have left the business - how painful was it?

    Anybody catch Sunday's "Shoe?" I'd post it, but (a) I still can't figure out how to post pics and (b) MacNelly's site (www.macnelly.com) is a Flash and not .jpg. Anyways, Shoe's talking at the counter: "So I'm walking down the street when a guy steps out of the dark alley. Points a knife at me...

    This Is The Future

    I've always contended history needs to be taught in how events relate to each other throughout history -- ie. how one event, say the Gutenberg Press, which led to more people having access to the bible, as well as other classical works, which caused other changes in how Europeans lived their...

    NFL Divisional Playoffs running thread

    Of course, I'd just like to watch the game. WTIC-61 out of Hartford has lost the feed for the last 45 minutes. My DirecTV is showing (paraphrasing) "Please Don't Call Us. The station is working to fix the problem as quickly as possible" on the screen. Yipee. [Good thing it's the Hawks-Bears...
