I could think of a lot of things. But I don’t know how to fix it. It’s a mess. But three hours on a Sunday you wait for all week – only to lose OVER and OVER and OVER. My beloved Vikings blew it again this week against the Chicago Bears. They pretty much look as bad as a team can get. Injuries, off-the-field drama, a confused coach, low morale, laziness and just disgust pretty...

I don’t watch much TV, but I had to catch Conan in his new slot on TBS. It was great. He had Seth Rogan and Jack White from the White Stripes on the show. He opened with a video outlining his failures attempting to work for places like Burger King.  It was a classic dose of self-pity that Conan has grown to be known for.

I was selected to cover the Florida Governor’s race this election year. My photographer Cory and I headed to Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday after a morning meeting devising our election plan.

I never grew up watching NASCAR – but when I lived in Tucson, my buddy Chris Tardiff urged me to check it out. I thought it was a joke prior to really sitting down and learning more about the sport. I have to admit, there’s some pretty cool things that go on – from the track, to the sound, to the crazy technology in the cars. It’s quite a sport – and fans are crazy...
