Buck-A-Board
If you’re reading this you probably know that I’m the co-host of The Salute, a fan podcast ((Which of course you can always listen to at http://kan.st/6a or subscribe to at http://kan.st/6b. You can even find it on Stitcher.)) about K-State sports ((Also well known as the longest running podcast in the history of K-State sports)) on CollegeSportsVision.com. […]
On Joe Paterno
When Joe Paterno was fired it was one of the biggest stories of 2011. Everyone was talking about it whether they were fans of college football or not. The Sandusky cover up, the scandal… it was too much to believe. Paterno took the fall for his failure to act. At the time at which he […]
SOPA
Piracy is a problem. If you download music, movies, books, or any other content not meant for free distribution without paying for it, then you are stealing. Piracy needs to be stopped. SOPA is not the way to do that. Click here to stop SOPA
Passion vs. Bias
Last week I was asked a question. It was a fair question about an issue that had come up in conversation. I was in a room full of people, but it was certainly possible that only one person really cared what my answer was. The topic happened to be something that I am very passionate […]
Never forget this…
Has it really been 10 years? Social networks are covered today with “Never Forget” and “Where were you when…?” On a day like today we can’t help but look back. Our ongoing process of healing demands that we focus on a tragedy that for a brief moment, which felt like an eternity, united these States […]
Everything Sucks.
Let’s get this straight right now… I can’t stand Harry Potter. So what? It’s not my thing. I don’t care that people love it. I don’t care that some people love it to the extent that ignore reality and begin to attempt to use spells in real life ((This actually happened yesterday. I posted this […]
I ♥ KC
We all know who Chris Sullentrop is, right? Oh, no? Well, he’s just some jackass that grew up in KC but moved to NYC for “a bigger stage and a bigger paycheck.” And that’s fine. Kansas City isn’t New York City or Chicago or LA. It doesn’t give the same opportunities, and it doesn’t have all […]
I ♥ NY!
It’s well known that when it comes to sports I’m a Chicago guy. I never thought I’d start a post with “I Love New York,” but for tonight I do. New York has passed a law and now will become the 6th state to recognize equality in marriage for everyone. I’ve spent most of my […]
I Just Like Saying Weiner
Wiener. In just two weeks Anthony Weiner has gone from being a congressman with a funny last name to being a congressman with an hilarious last name. Add in a few pics of Weiner’s weiner and it can’t get much funnier than that. But in the biggest overreaction of the 2010’s (twenty-tweens?) he’s now being […]
A Former Right-Winger
A man and his wife died last night. While they stayed in their bedroom late at night several men stormed into the room with only one objective: kill. You know the story. I’m not going to try to paint it in such a way to draw sympathy. The fact is that I don’t have any […]
On Real Hatred…
Yesterday I poked a little fun at what it means to have hatred in sports. Hate is a strong word. I remember growing up always being told that we should never say we hate anything or anyone. Like most words, though, the meaning has changed and evolved over time. Now it can mean anything from […]
