This Friday, there’s another Sheridan Hoops Freeroll, where someone will win $100 cash, by picking an 8-man fantasy team. It’s completely free to join, with another $200 in prize money shared among those who finish second ($60) through 15th ($5) and the game is easy to learn. [Read more…]
I’m going to start this column by doing what I do best: quoting Keri Hilson. Sometimes Nikola Vucevic comes around, and he knocks you down. Just get back up when he knocks you down. Further, as the modern poet Ne-Yo put it, “I never thought I’d hear myself say, ‘Y’all go ahead, I think I’m gonna kick it and watch the Magic today.'” But this Vucevic guy…he shot me out the sky. And now I’m crashing. I don’t know how it happened, but
It’s always a little sad when someone goes overboard with the whole “new year, new me” routine. You know what I’m talking about. Your portly friend will talk with conviction about how this is the year when he hits the gym, loses some weight and gets himself in better shape. You nod your head and encourage him.

He didn’t know that I could barely read in 10th grade, but that my diligence and perseverance has make me grammar better so much.

It’s the Larry Sanders Show. Not the old HBO sitcom starring Garry Shandling, which I never really found to be that funny but ultimately paved the way for similar real-life parody vehicles such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage.
