They’re the representatives for Kellen Winslow II, who have rejected an offer that would have made Winslow the highest paid tight end ever. Not highest paid rookie tight end. Highest paid EVER. For a rookie. And it’s not enough. Poston wouldn’t elaborate on his decision to reject the offer. “I do not negotiate in the [...]

Review: Sleeper Vol. 2

29, Jul 2004

Finished Sleeper Volume 2: “All False Moves” the other night. This is going to be a boring review. This book is excellent. It continues the story of Holden Carver, a super-powered intelligence agent tasked with infiltrating the world’s premier organized crime cartel. Problem is, the only guy on the side of the angels who knows [...]

According to this article over at Time the new 4G iPods have some as-yet-unannounced features. ” But you should know that internally the new iPod is a ground-up reconstruction, and its really compelling applications – the ones that very well might get the goat of anyone unable or unwilling to upgrade – are still secret.

ESPN reporting that the Giants and Manning agreed to a six-year, $54 million deal today. Phew. Now he’ll be in camp from the beginning, which is huge.

I’ve been importing and transferring songs like crazy in the week I’ve had the eMac. Tonight I got #1000 in. That honor goes to Frank Black’s “The man Who Was Too Loud”.

I drank like a 22 year-old on Saturday night. I traded for Ricky Williams in my fantasy league a month ago. On Sunday morning those two facts collided in a spectacular display of pain and confusion. I can’t believe Ricky Williams retired. Here’s a photo: (the blurriness here is likely my fault, even thought I [...]

Michelle’s birthday is tomorrow. She wanted a *big* party so we threw one for her over this past weekend. It was a full-blown college-style party. We had some food but the emphasis was on the booze. There was even a beer pong table. Michelle spent the week heading up to the party putting together a [...]
