In addition to every other reason, he’s an Indians fan too!

With the FDA’s new recommendation of not giving cold medicine to kids under 6, it’s time for the “Jewish Penicillin” to return to it’s rightful place.

Then again, you can’t really cure a cold with medication; it’s a virus.

One of the random thoughts that went through my head this morning at the gym…

…how much fun squats are to do.  Sure, they take a lot of effort, but the satisfaction of clearing a rep is well worth it.

(Had to keep the brain going despite the exhaustion)

Yeah there’s stuff to post today, but it’s TRIBE TIME

Playoff baseball takes priority here

Someone toss me some peanuts and cracker jacks.

I’ve got my Tribe towel, hat, tie, and cup (sans beer)

More posting to come when baseball isn’t on…

Bernie Kosar that is…a childhood hero (before that !!@$@%*^# Art Modell traded him)...is coming back to Cleveland football
Okay, it’s the indoor game, but it’s football none the less.

The Super Bowl (the game itself, not the half-time show or the commercials) is the quintessential American sporting event.

How the NFL could ever consider, let alone imagine, having the game held anywhere outside of the USA is beyond imagination.
But not the imagination of Goodell 

From “The Tenth Man: An Indians fan blog“:

….that background music and Joe Buck’s voice just gave me a serious case of goosebumps.

Joe Buck’s voice usually triggers more of a sense off panic if not a desire for ear plugs from many a sports fan.

Personally, my preference would be to have the telecast on, but hit the mute button (good bye Buck!).  Then turn on Tom Hamilton on the radio.
Now that is quality baseball.

Now it’s the Buckeye’s turn to be on top
the college football polls and the BCS rankings
It’s all about the sweater-vest! The best analogy that can be made is in the NFL Belichick has his sweatshirt.

There’s something special about Jim Tressel’s sweater vest.
On a more serious, non-fanboy note, are the Buckeye’s really a #1 team?  The offense isn’t as good as last years was, but the defense is rock solid.

The next target: pen caps

Is Ron Paul in NYC today?

There was a small crowd waving Ron Paul signs and chanting his name this morning on E. 42nd Street across from Grand Central Station.

Anyone know the reason why? Was Ron Paul staying in the Hyatt? (The fans were located across the street from the hotel).

This was in addition to some Ron Paul stickers I saw posted on poles along 42nd across from Bryant Park.

Update: Apparently Ron Paul is in the City this weekend, and the group was holding a rally
Better the Paul-ians than the Laroucheites

Update 2: Lest the Ron Paul internet hordes descend onto this blog and stat critiquing what I’ve posted. I just happened to be walking down 42nd towards the subway, returning from a doctors appointment when I noticed a long line of people across the street who were (obviously) Paul supporters.  I didn’t count how many there were.  It’s just odd to see groups of people congregated at 10am on a weekend in Midtown like that.

Al Gore wins Nobel Peace Prize
Because climate has so much to do with peace.

Not that the prize really means that much any more, especially after some of its more recent recipients.

There was no line outside of Pinkberry this evening or inside either.
Really!

Ann Coulter says something really stupid and offensive

nu?

Okay, this week’s quota of stupid quotes from Ann Coulter has officially been met.

When Jimmy Carter calls your performance a “disaster” you know you’re likely doing something right.

The other morning as I was starting my workout, and the gym as usual.  There’s music playing in the gym, usually something upbeat.

So during a set, all of the sudden a song comes on that sounds really familiar.  It’s the “bumper music” that RUsh Limbaugh uses for his radio show–and that almost threw me off guard.

It wound up being the (whole) song that he uses, an there are actually a few lyrics mixed in.  Nonetheless, it was still disorienting, and the last thing which I want to hear at the gym so early in the morning is talk radio.

Oh happy day!

It was a beautiful day watching the locals mourn the downfall of their Yankees at the hands of the Cleveland Indians.

As I tried to explain to one of my female coworkers today, there are three things that the average Cleveland sports fan grows up learning to dislike:  The Steelers, Michigan and The Yankees. (A case could also be made to include Art Modell in said list but that is a discussion for another time).

Is Chip Caray on TBS trying to be like Joe Buck?
Hopefully not.  One Joe Buck is way more than enough for the world of sports.

Maybe Caray could keep up this act should Buck land a new job as a late night television host. Then again, hopefully this new oppertunity would get buck out of the booth, and well, wouldn’t that just be nice!
