What’s Paul Shirley Up To?
February 13th, 2010
$3.50 for Angels and Airwaves, but not one cent for earthquake relief. Oh, and plenty of ugly antipathy for other people’s grandmothers.
Update: Shirley began Valentine’s Day in as classy a manner as possible.
Last Call: Closing Time, Part Two
November 13th, 2009
We yield all our time.
It is silly to only post for Last Call, no? So we’re respectfully asking to be removed from the Last Call crew. Certainly, if you’re looking for conversation, people can be found in all the old familiar places.
Content next week. Maybe. Or not.

Last Call: Jump Around
October 30th, 2009Too lazy for links, like we are? Hit the Pub, the Sportress, Style Points, Avoiding the Drop, or Second-String Fullback for your sports views and such.
Last Call: Do You Remember When…
October 26th, 2009
Misty, pre-cocaine memories.
…Lindsay Lohan was hot?
…Bill Simmons was one of the hipper sportswriters in the country?
…Michael Vick was supposed to change football?
…Limp Bizkit recorded music?
…we posted content almost daily here?
…the surest way to make a myth and shoot for stardom in hip-hop was not getting shot on Degrassi but getting shot in real life?
…Jack Kevorkian was a big deal?
…CSI was a new, fresh, cutting-edge idea?
…being on the Internet meant hearing this?
…pay phones were hunted not for their rarity but their utility?

NCAA Gridiron Roundtable: Week 3
September 21st, 2009
Jahvid Best is fast.
We’re trying something new here, with Roundtable discussions and chats for college football, the NFL, and soccer on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday every week. Feel free to leave your opinions in the comments.
How’s your team?
Minda, Nebraska: Nebraska is 2-1, maybe should have been 3-0. I’ve been worried about their D-Line, but after watching QB Zac Lee get lost in the spotlight yesterday, I’m almost worried about him too.
Mech, Michigan: The University of Michigan is effing awesome right now. They unleashed a devastating running attack on Eastern this weekend, highlighted by Carlos Brown’s 187 yards on just 13 carries for two TDs. Entering Big 10 play next week, I think Michigan has definitely shown that they can contend for the conference championship.
Chill, Boston College: How is my team doing? Let’s put it this way: George Armstrong Custer had a better day on June 26th, 1876, than BC football did last Saturday against Clemson. BC plumbed the depths of ineptitude, with 48 total yards, 3 turnovers, and 12 3-and-outs. The offensive line was more porous than Paris Hilton circa 2006, and BC’s two freshman quarterbacks made me long for Jonathan Crompton. Read the rest of this entry “
A Tribute to Patrick Swayze Through Road House
September 16th, 2009
The hair is also a tribute.
[2:05:20 AM] Chuck Knoblockhead: So the Wolves just signed Sasha Pavlovic, and I didn’t really have many thoughts on the signing until I saw where he was born.
[2:05:23 AM] Chuck Knoblockhead: Now I’m excited
For the record, that would be Bar, Montenegro. But still.
