Blerd Radio Episode 4: Dude, You're in My Seat

Blerd Radio celebrates a milestone this week! Well, no we don’t. But I couldn’t think of a more dramatic way to introduce Episode 4 . On this episode, I am joined once again by my boy +LB, who was awakened out of peaceful slumber by a text from yours truly saying “Dude! The show starts in ten minutes!”. I am also joined by Jay, who hosts the much more professional (and funnier, and more drunken) Brink of Sanity Podcast . Not only is +LB my first […]

Blerd Radio Episode 3: The Disappearance of LeBron James

Blerd Radio Episode 3: The Disappearance of LeBron James . For some reason, WordPress will not led me embed the Blogtalkradio code into my posts. This pisses me off. A lot of you reading are way more computer savvy than I am (quiet as kept…I’m kinda dumb), so if you could lend a blerd a hand and help me figure this out, that would be groovy.

Blerd Briefs: Immigration, The NBA & Bret Michaels

The state of Arizona (which has a very high Mexican immigrant population) just passed into law a bill that requires […]

Monday Morning Musings: KG, The ACMs & The Gentlemen's Bet

Welcome to the working week, dear readers. Having officially recovered from Record Store Day (well, I personally have recovered. My debit card hasn’t), I am awake and ready to face another Monday. The NBA playoffs are already underway. While I, like most sane basketball fans, fully expects a Lakers/Cavs final, there’s always interesting stuff happening before the big dance. The big news so far is that Celtics forward/extraterrestrial Kevin Garnett has been suspended for Game 2 in their series against […]

Blerd Briefs: The NBA, Tiger Woods & Kevin Smith

I was a pretty hardcore NBA fan back in the day-coming up during the glory era of Bird, Magic and MJ. These days, I catch a game when I can, but I’m not as much of a fanatic as I used to be. Hell, I missed the All-Star game this year for the first time in ages-although I was very happy that my man David Lee made the Eastern Conference squad. Anyway, back when I was in high school, my […]
