    Tower Heist...did Eddie Murphy actually make a good comedy again?

    I didn't see Dreamgirls, so it feels like it has been decades since Eddie Murphy did a quality movie that didn't rely on fart humor. Anyway, the wife and I went and saw Tower Heist last night, and it was actually really funny. Probably the funniest I have seen Murphy in more than a decade. It's...

    Willie Williams jailed for burglarizing a home of $18,000 in valuables. Shocker!

    Yahoo Sports is reporting he's been arrested and is being held without bond. He burglarized the home of a family friend. Thug creep right till the end. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Ag6J8KU3fSB7QbRe5.9dO09DubYF?slug=cr-williewilliamsarrest083109&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

    I think our mortgage broker is ripping us off

    I'd love to hear from anyone who has expertise on this. So the wife and I decided to refinance the mortgage a couple of months ago, and we went through a broker. We have fantastic credit and we earn a nice healthy household income and have never missed a mortgage payment. We also owe just a...

    Great read. I can't believe the kid killed himself. It all just sounds too fishy. http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news;_ylt=Am39nMIe10vY6rEMJK6g0ew5nYcB?slug=ys-johnson020509&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

    A heart-warming story

    I don't normally get choked up when I read slobbering Olympic pieces, but this one got me. This girl's attitude is amazing. Too bad all athletes don't have this kind of spirit. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/track_field/news?slug=cr-somalirunners082408&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

    ESPN's latest perversion of journalistic ethics

    Apparently, ESPN has had David Cornwell - Reggie Bush's attorney - on the payroll as a legal analyst for several months. He's been in studio multiple times talking about the Mitchell report, etc. The problem with this, he's also been a major, major player in this whole Reggie Bush...

    Reggie Bush is going to lose his Heisman

    Yahoo Sports says the guy that gave Reggie money in college sat down with the NCAA for SIX HOURS on Tuesday. I'm guessing they weren't discussing China patterns. I bet USC skates, but Reggie gets his statistics stripped...leading the Heisman committee to take away his little statue...

    Mike Huguenin hired by Yahoo Sports

    Congrats to Mike. Don't know him personally, but I know he's an ex National guy and I have heard people on this board speak very highly of him in the past. And the people I know over at the Orlando Sentinel say it's a big, big loss for them. I hear he's leaving to run Yahoo's college coverage.

    Good AJ Smith piece

    As someone who used to deal with this biscuit when he used to work for the Buffalo Bills, this was a pretty good piece. Didn't think I could even look at AJ in a positive light. :D http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=AsdOq39CuuABqjTy.UTuMrc5nYcB?slug=cr-ajsmith121206&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

    Scariest Apocalypse/Nuclear War Movie

    The Day After was on last night. Still seems to be just as scary today as it was when I first saw it in the theater. So it got me thinking...what are the scariest "world ends" movies that you've ever seen? Aside from The Day After, I think Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later are pretty great, too.

    Yahoo overtakes ESPN...four weeks and running

    According to the Nielsens, Yahoo Sports has been the most trafficked sports website on the internet for four straight weeks. Not sure I remember any site beating ESPN in traffic for four straight weeks....ever. Maybe six or seven years ago when Sportsline had a little spurt?

    How much have you lost at Texas Hold 'Em?

    We had a little discussion in the office last night while watching some poker on TV, and it came to light that a former scribe at the paper had lost a couple thousand dollars playing online poker over the last several months. At this point, a couple of the desk guys said they had lost about a...

    What do you do when you lose passion on a beat?

    Ok, so I have a little problem which requires some advice. We have a beat writer who has confided to me that he's losing his passion for the job. To me, it's been pretty clear over the last six months. Normally a very good writer, his work has declined a bit recently. It's still solid, but...

    APSE opening up to internet sites

    I was reading over some stuff on the APSE site, and I noticed a MAJOR bylaw change. For the first time ever, the organization is opening the velvet rope for internet sites. I'm sure most people don't care, but this marks a huge shift...and pretty much signals where the industry is going. And I'm...

    Interns saying dumb things...

    As I'm sitting in the office today, I can hear a phone conversation one of the news interns is having with a friend. Classic line: "It's total bullshirt that I have to do obits today. They just aren't recognizing my talent here." He's been talking shirt about the rest of his intern class, too...
