I would like it very much if the Rangers would face an elimination game
They are the only playoff team not to have done so this year.

So, you guys already talked about Lance Berkman and his fucking joke award, right?
Once more, coming to you by proxy.
I mean, if I knew they gave you comeback awards for being good in the year you’re supposedly coming back from, I wouldn’t have put so little effort into everything last year.

I’ve been thinking about El Person’s (admittedly legitimate) critique of the motto and decided that if E Pluribus Anus is all right for Greendale, then E Pluribus Gluteus is A-OK with me (I also briefly considered In Gluteii Credo, but I’m not sure if the Latin is correct).

So ESPN eliminates the department that created its awesome content (excluding Rick Reilly) for the department that churns out bullshit. Sounds about right.
ESPN is closing its Content Development department, which will lead to the loss of around 20-25 jobs. The department, which was headed by Senior VP/Content Development & Enterprise Keith Clinkscales, was based in Bristol, L.A. and N.Y. The department’s responsibilities will be taken over by the Bristol-based studio and event production group led by ESPN Exec Senior VP/Studio & Event Production Norby Williamson. “This is a more efficient and better model,” said ESPN Exec VP/Content John Skipper. “We’re eliminating specific jobs. But we’re not going to have a smaller workforce.”
It is hard to pin down exactly how many jobs are being cut since some of employees will have the opportunity to find other jobs at the company. Skipper told THE DAILY that he had been considering making this move for six-eight weeks, finally deciding to pull the trigger with the recent launch of studio shows like “NFL 32,” “Numbers Never Lie” and “Dan LeBatard Is Highly Questionable.” “That was the event that got me over the hump,” Skipper said.
The highest profile exec to leave ESPN as a result of this move is Clinkscales, who launched the group in ‘07. He is leaving to become an independent producer; ESPN will be his first client. He plans to develop documentaries and Web-based shows for ESPN. His group developed shows like “SportsNation,” “E:60” and Rick Reilly’s “Homecoming.” It also developed ESPN’s acclaimed "30 for 30" documentary series, which will now be part of ESPN Films. Skipper said ESPN Films will not be affected by the moves.
Quote from my adopted son Mike Krukow: "We're the Giants. We're San Francisco. And we're World Series Champions!"
Do you think his subordinates derisively referred to him as ‘Colonel Clinkscales’?

Continuing concept album/rock opera discussion from a thread and abridged thread ago...
An album I have owned for a while but I keep coming back to is one of the cheesiest, nerdiest, most pompous things I’ve ever heard from a band called Ayreon. Usually Ayreon is far far too cheesey even for me, but in 2004, the dude who throws the whole projects together threw out an album called “The Human Equation” and for as ridiculous as it is, I absolutely ADORE it. And the more I come back to it, the more I love it.
It’s about a guy who spends 20 days in a coma, traveling through his mind through his memories and with each of his emotions being represented by a different singer. My favorite musician is barely in it as the voice of Rage (and I think he steals the album once or twice), but there’s some cool Bowie sounding stuff, some cool Pink Floydy stuff, and really just touches from the 60s-now in terms of progressive music.
This isn’t my favorite song, but I do enjoy the hell out of it and it gives you the best idea of what the album is.
If you DO enjoy it and can get beyond the cheese, get the album, some good headphones and 2 hours of time (difficult I know). I promise you won’t be sorry.
Did no one mention Lamb Lies Down on Broadway?
Cuz that’s my fav. I also loved a couple of Camel (not the Peter Frampton one, the Andy Latimer one) albums, especially Snow Goose and Nude.
Just play a Brandon or two, come on!
oooooh Camel!
<3
I got turned on to them and Caravan later on because of Mikael Akerfeldt (who’s the voice of Fear in the above mentioned piece)
If you people really want to talk prog
what about those lovable Italians? PFM, Banco, there are scads of them.
Yes, I am a nerd.

CJ Wilson: No #1
Talk before the game was his best FA offers would come based on his performance in this, the potential clincher. Determining whether he could be a #1 in the rotation and get the most $. This outing tends to indicate he doesn’t have that #1 performance under pressure cooker ability. Good examples against Verlander here and Lincecum in Game 5 last year.

There’s a reason he’s a former GM.

Personally
I think his cumulative stats in the potential clinchers and elimination games will count against him and no I don’t think he’s a #1. But obviously it’s not about 1 game, just a trend that Wilson hasn’t been best under pressure.
Reminded to be bitter at the absence of the Giants in this postseason
Because of the generally poor pitching throughout, which would not have happened had they been in
To whit, that blast off Verlander just now, who because their pen has been overtaxed by poor starts and so has been torched, has had to try to do it himself
This
I am so convinced that the Giants would have made it deep into the playoffs had they qualified.

Because I don’t like commercials and there’s a 1/2 break between “the Office” and “Always Sunny,” my girlfriend and I don’t start watching all the shows until around 9 so we can blow throw them all at once and without commercials. Which is why I’m here trying to kill time until we decide to start watching “Community.”

And Barkley was playing horrible tonight. He and Woods usually are on the same page, but they were completely out of sorts.

Yeah, I was amazed at how many interceptions/near-interceptions the USC defense had tonight. That doesn’t normally happen.
Gotta say, Cal’s defense kept them in the game. That and Woods always being just a bit short of Barkley’s passes.

Court documents obtained by TMZ.com allege that Milton Bradley threatened to kill his wife last month.
Bradley’s wife, Monique Bradley, alleges that her husband threatened her with a baseball bat during an incident on September 27 and picked up a photo of a gun and told her, “This is the gun that I’m going to kill you with.” She added that Bradley has been “emotionally and physically abusive” throughout their marriage, but she would often take him back because “I genuinely believed that one day I could fix him.” A hearing on the matter is scheduled for October 25, and, in the meantime, Monique has filed a restraining order.
