Cheaper by the Dozen

Well, the Baker family has 12 kids (a Baker’s dozen if you will), and Steve Martin is a Football coach(?). A relatively cute movie plagued by a lack of originality and a somewhat weak cast. I think the main thing I left thinking was “Wow, Hillary Duff really can’t act can she?” Her character and …

The Punk Rock Show

A friend of mine is in a punk band called The Battle Scars, and they were playing the other night at a local club called THE ROCKER!! Just seems like you should always yell that name. Anyway, so I went to the show, and really quite enjoyed myself, and overall I was very impressed for …

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week Eleven)

And then I saw that win. Now I’m a believer. The thing about being a Chicago fan, is that you’re so used to disappointment that it’s hard to ever let your guard down and really believe in your team. For example, every White Sox fan out there was cheering like crazy, and possibly enjoying themselves …

Worst Sports Radio Show Ever

Okay, just a quick rant here. I’m sick and tired of Sports Radio personalities whose sole gimmick is that they make fun of people. For example, Jim Rome is an idiot. His hair looks stupid, and his nose is all…. I was trying to be ironic. Anyway, his only real selling point for his show …

Even More Snow

Well, had to brush off the car this morning for the first time this year. Here’s a couple quick pictures I got too: Couple quick more thoughts on snow, while it’s fresh on my mind (and for anyone in West Michigan, especially those who commute, it’s probably fresh on all our minds). When the first …

Which means that everyone in the Grand Rapids area just slammed on their brakes and cause about 25 accidents, making driving completely ridiculous. However, the magic of it falling is here. I love it. I hate the danger of driving, and I hate …

Snow

Well, it is officially snowing here in Michigan. But it’s the first crappy snow of the year, so there’s no real flakes yet. As my good friend Jessie said recently, there’s just something magical about the first snow that I look forward to every year, but usually I like the first real snow with flakes, …

Tuesday Morning Quarterback (Week 10)

For the first time since the NFC North began in 2002, all 4 teams from the division won on the same weekend. Wow. I watched the games this week from Steeler country, and I wasn’t able to watch much else than the Bears game, so my column this week may not be as long as …

Direct TV Commercial

This could have gone in my sports section because I’ve only seen this commercial during sports events, but there’s a DirectTV commercial out right now that I kind of find disturbing. There’s a male sitting on a couch watching a football game, and his son sits on the couch next to him and asks “Can …
