At the end of his career, the late, great Harry Caray was almost incoherent. Also at the end of his career, it was obvious that Pat Summerall could not longer follow the game.
However, Bryant Gumbel appears to be, without a doubt, apparently the most clueless, spectacularly and apparently unqualified and apparently the most untalented sportscaster in history. He makes the unlistenable Brent Musburger seem like a superstar of the industry.
The NFL should be ashamed.
Since, for some odd reason, I seem to have a bit of a readership who are big Spurs fans, I just wanted to give everyone a chance to sign below as they exit the Spurs bandwagon.
I’ll admit that I find this extra funny because I don’t really care about pro basketball. It’s just that Spurs fans seem to have this chip on their shoulder 
For retailers who play Christmas carols in their establishment before Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving). This weekend both Kroger and Kohl’s were found guilty of this heinous crime.
Further Kroger is guilty of playing Bruce Springsteen’s Santa Claus is Coming to Town, the playing of which on any day of the year should be a crime so terrible, so… obscene that the penalty could never live up to the act.
I know that I have promised to keep up with this site better in the past, and it still gets short shrift when I get busy. So I won’t promise anything, but I am writing today.
For the first time in almost 12 years, I started a new job this week. It’s going to be a hell of a challenge. It’s a big step up the food chain, and a big increase in responsibility from what I have had before. But I think this is a very good thing. I had gotten bored, and the quality of my work had shown it.
I can certainly say that in my first week, I am not bored.
All of the normal small office stereotypes are here… geeks, tremendously talented folks, and some that make me want to slit my wrists. Ok… only one that makes me want to slit my wrists. I’ve already nicknamed them “Kyrptonite.”
It’s also interesting in that while I’m going off on this new adventure, my girlfriend is in the Caribbean, and my parents are in London. It’s been a very non-standard week. My dogs are, as usual, hyperactive and seemingly on speed. And on top of that, it’s been a heinous week on the stock market. Heaping helpings of suck on toast.
I have posted several pictures to Flickr in the past month, and I have some from Las Vegas that I will be putting up soon.
