Zach is undermining the newly fragile American economy:
im at work, falling asleep, and the only thing keeping me awake is surfing the web, you need to update your blog more.
im talking bullet points, hourly. give me something, im like a crack head looking for a fix, and all i want is to waste time.
Via Zach, classic Detroit hotel renovation is almost done (that article reads like a press release, but I don’t care, this is a good thing):

Why doesn’t this happen more often?
Kim yanked his drive well left and nailed a spectator in the noggin. David Whitfield, 48, had a “crater-like abrasion” on his forehead, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and he ended up leaving the course on a stretcher.
Unsurprisingly, Kim was shaken by the incident, although he wasn’t willing to blame it on his third round 72, which included a back-nine 37.
“I thought I killed him,” Kim said. “It was an awful feeling to look down and see a golf ball-sized impression in his forehead and it’s cut open. It was probably the nastiest thing I’ve ever seen.”
1. Golf Channel wasn’t filming this? What’s going on?
2. Anthony Kim’s influence in golf will be lessened if he keeps doming fans. Or maybe his PR team could spin him into a golf villain to counter Tiger’s superhero status. Potential commercial: “I didn’t come here to save golf, but to destroy it. Your foreheads belong to me.”
3. I don’t think Tiger is a bad person, but if this same thing had happened to him, don’t you think he would have been too busy protesting about the guy’s head getting in the way to offer him any comfort?
When I started playing this for Courtney she said, “Trans-Siberian Orchestra?”
It’s kind of two-halves of a pop number that don’t quite equal one song: Jack White and Alicia Keys’ theme for the new Bond movie.
The devolution of the American economy has begun.
I’d like to try skydiving, and people always talk about how beautiful and quiet it is flying above the earth. Maybe this is just my personal space issues, but how peaceful can it be with some random dude strapped to your back?
Anybody see Chris Rock’s new HBO special? I don’t think it’s his best stuff ever, but an hour and a half of b-team Chris Rock is still the best thing that will be on TV this month.
My problem with the BoSox trading away Manny Ramirez was that he’s a great hitter who can change the course of a playoff series and help a team win a championship. York, a Red Sox fan, was all about dealing Manny for Jason Bay, and obviously some people more powerful than me agreed with him. My main idea was that the Red Sox were as likely as anyone to win the title this year, and that’s not something you pass up lightly. York disagreed.
Disagree. This team isn’t winning Shit Sloan. You know that, or should know that, and I know that. They are HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE under pressure.
THIS TEAM HAS BEEN SWEPT 6 TIMES SLOAN! 6 TIMES!!!
As much as I’d love to see the Rays beat the Cubs in the series (breaking the Rays’ tragic and historic ten year curse) I still think the BoSox should be feared until they’re beaten. And I still think it’s stupid for the defending World Series champions to deal their best player.
As a Lions fan from 1984 to the present and a Tigers fan during the torturous 1990’s-early 2000s stretch, I’ve always thought that the worst sports pain was trying to cheer for a team that didn’t matter. When you’re out of contention at the All-Star break, a baseball season seems to stretch forever. In 2006, I flew to Detroit for the World Series and watching them lose sucked but… hey, at least ESPN was with me in Detroit and all the bars downtown were overflowing. The agony of second best was much easier to swallow than the apathy of another hundred loss season.
That being said, it’s must be rough being a Mets fan right now.

After four weeks, I’m going to have the second most total points in my fantasy football league and still be 0-4.
This week’s travesty: I have great performances from my squad (minus the Dallas defense, which thinks that interceptions are a bad thing and that sacks are too tiring), but Zach accidentally started Favre, and that’s all he needed. You know you’re in trouble when your opponent’s 60 year old quarterback has a career day.
