I’ve just accepted an invitation to speak on one of the sports blogging panels at the Blog World Expo in Vegas next month. I am one part flattered, two parts excited and seven parts terrified.
But it should be fun.
Ryan just told me about this, and I thought he was slightly poking fun at Blog World Expo. It just so happens that he is not.
I can’t think of a more...

Joe Biden
Even after Clinton’s speech, which was very good, dude is tearing it up right now. Earnest, heartfelt, borderline angry — I’m not sure if this is what people want to hear, but it’s impressive all the same.
Haden: Man, it’s amazing how we suddenly took the step into being real, live All-SEC corners in just our second years as starters!
Rickerson: It is amazing. Almost improbable! It’s especially amazing that we got such amazing play from our other safety, whoever that guy is.
Major Wright toasting: Yeah—that guy, whoever he is, is lockdown tight nasty, baby.
ALL: TO THAT GUY! [They toast]

AMC's Sad Men
alejandraramos:
Fans of the AMC show Mad Men are all a buzz on Twitter today over a bit of distress at the fictional Sterling Cooper office. For the past couple weeks, the characters from the show have been sending tweets from various Twitter accounts. They’ve interacted with other Twitter users and sent amusing messages that hinted or played off events on the show. This kind of 2.0 guerilla...

Iowa State Community College? I expect better
“The above photo is of Iowa State Community College President Robert Paxton whose questionable decision to spend the 4th of July weekend partying with his 19-year-old son and some various bikini-clad young women on Lake Okojobi has not gone over well in his community.The Des Moines Register is a news organization hellbent on demanding answers about why a man put in charge of burnishing the...

This could become a daily feature:
And the simple fact is that, if the Democrats can’t learn to call those fucking animals what they are, we will be looking at a future of massive political violence directed against movement conservatism that will make the civil war look like child’s play. If the Dems can’t figure out how to defeat the thugs at the polls, there will be conservative blood flowing...

Movin' On Up
My blogging cohort Ryan Corazza and I have just — literally, like, two minutes ago — shuttered our very first blog. This is a sad day. Its daily workload not only somehow got us tenuous blogging gigs at FanHouse, Yahoo! Sports, ESPN the Mag, and various other places, but it made us best friends and better writers. I shall miss it. Fortunately, we’re basically just moving our...

Biden's Foreign Policy in Foreign Policy
Thanks to a weekend of booze and baseball and emotional nonsense I’d rather not go into here, I’m still playing catch up on Biden. FP’s Passport blog — via a link from Ness this morning — has a really good primer on Joe Biden’s ever-evolving foreign policy views. Yay conditional liberal internationalism:
But as much as he likes to talk, Biden’s actually...

The first person to create a poster of Kobe Bryant after the four-point play, ssh-ing the crowd, is the first person that gets me to buy a life-size blowup of said poster. That was AWESOME.
I love you, SVU marathon!

Better Late Than Never: Watchmen →
Like Rabin, the writer linked, I too am something of a culture geek, but had no experience with Watchmen until I saw the premiere and read some of the hype, and so on. I finished it last weekend, and despite being a complete comic book n00b — and needing a chapter or two to get used to the pacing of the format — god damn it, Watchmen is fucking amazing. I’m reading it again.

I firmly believe it’s going to happen today. He is slated to appear with his running mate tomorrow at a...

Julie made me promise to blog immediately when I get the VP announcement from the Obama campaign. (Of course I would anyway.) Liz made me promise to then text her because, as she says, “I’m always the last to know these things.”
