I’m a little late to the party, but still want to briefly discuss the latest transgressions of Monsieur Eldrick “Tiger” Woods. Well, actually I will probably avoid addressing the “transgressions” themselves (quite the Bible-speak of him); the cliff dive of one of the few Golden Boys of modern sports is where I’d like to spend [...]
Ten Steps To A Redskins Recovery
Today was the first in quite a while that I didn’t throw on my typical Clinton Portis #26 Washington Redskins jersey early Sunday morning and stay within eyeshot of the TV for an entire afternoon. Last week, with the Redskins on a bye week that couldn’t have come sooner, I felt like my life was [...]
Weak Side Late Assignment: South Korea Is One Of The Best Countries Around
So I’ll start this post by begging for your forgiveness: I’m sorry for my absence. I’ll use just returning from a work trip to Korea (South, that is, Kim Jong Il and his rocket firing didn’t even phase faze? us) as an excuse. Or maybe you were happy to have a break from me.
I return to the Cube, to [...]
Story Time: Sidling Up On Your Cube
When I’m at work, I try to keep a few stories “on tap” for those all-too-frequent cases when you find yourself grabbing a soda or standing in the elevator next to someone at work who you have nothing to talk about with. Often these situations go like this:
Me: Hey, [NAME]. Good to see you. How’s it going?
Coworker: Oh, [...]
Three Thoughts and Two Ideas (Week 2)
I’ll leave the NFL to other writers at CubicleGM, and throw a few thoughts into the ring for Week 2 in the NCAA. Since we’re only through the second week, I’ll treat these as data points. By next week, however, we might just have a trend.
From last to first, or really, in the order that they [...]
A Few NFL Pronostimacations…
We’ve been working today, ahead of the battle between the Titans and Steelers, to aggregate a few predictions from CubicleGM on the upcoming NFL season. As I sit here, hating fellow contributor Mickey for drafting Big Ben on our fantasy team, the following is an attempt to integrate all bets I’ve received from our “expert” [...]
CubicleGM ACC Preview
Let’s not let a tough first weekend for the ACC fool us – except for in a few select instances. The new ACC certainly hasn’t proven to be the “powerhouse” football conference predicted several years ago when Miami and Virginia Tech finally joined. But it is a conference that will be very competitive nationally at [...]
This Week on the Internets (17 August 2009)
Couple days behind schedule, here, but I think still worth posting… I’ll blame it on Thursday night at some Irish bar drinking 250th anniversary Guinness and a Friday – Saturday suddenly filled with trips to various home-related stores and studying for the GMAT. It’s a sad state of affairs. Nonetheless, a few hours on a Sunday [...]

If anybody is still awake, word leaking out now, just after the midnight deadline, that No. 1 pick Stephen Strasburg has signed with the Nationals for $15.6M, the largest contract for a draftee in MLB history.
More to come on this tomorrow.
