Obligatory Falwell-NASCAR post

Jerry Fallwell died. Good thing Mark Morford always has something to say. Falwell, if you'll pardon the comparison, was to the Religious Right what Neil Young was to grunge.


Thanks, Jer'.

Not to speak ill of the dead, so I'll give him this: he was great as himself in The People Vs. Larry Flynt.

(Oops: that wasn't him!)

The WNBA enters its second decade trying to make news. How's this for news: whoopee-doo. We're all behind Title IX; it's just that if you're running it out there as professional sports now, we want it to be... um... entertaining.

In other news, broadcast golf and NASCAR still exist, so I'm obviously missing something.

Oh -- and speaking of sports that aren't interesting, have you seen the extra-weird cycling news today? The stage is the dirt-dry Floyd Landis doping hearings, and the scandal involves threats of revelations of sexual abuse of former champions... I'll let you read the piece.

Work's on overtime so I'm out for today. Peas.

This is my post - so nu?

A couple simple links today from your humble blogger!

* No, David Eckstein is not Jewish. But if you listened to the Adam Sandler song, you'll know: Rod Carew is (he converted). Okay, so maybe Carew isn't.

The good news is, Carew can rest easy knowing Danny Glover will do a great job playing him in the biopic -->

* Google vs. Viacom: from the top turnbuckle, and you, the consumer, asked for it.

* Social Media Club meets tonight in San Francisco -- but is the (corporate) Townsend Street location a little suspect?

* I have to shout out baseball blogger Maury Brown by name -- follow the links for some cool "every stadium now being built" stuff -- including this billion-dollar Jerry Jones propoganda piece...


Red Herring on principle to Jones, the most self-important man this side of Curt Schilling.

* Surprised you have back problems so young? Don't be...

* Speaking of which, Grannies who are Gamers? Why not? My Granny's already a balla'!

* And, just for the heck of it: Tofutti Cuties! You had no idea that nasty-ass bean curd could be so good. Seriously, a head-scratchingly good snack any time!

And, you know; you could stand to lose a few.
