Football is retarded

January 23rd, 2006 · No Comments

So both my teams lost this week. It wasn’t even close. This, of course, has the added drama of bringing my record even at .500, with one game left: The Superbowl. But here’s the problem: WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THE SUPERBOWL!? It’s Seattle and Pittsburgh for christ’s sake!
Whatever. [...]

NFL Conference Championship Playoff Picks

January 20th, 2006 · 1 Comment

We’re taking a little break from JeremyAbramson.com™ Presents: The Real World, Ultimate Hump List, just in time for the conference championships. I went 2-2 this past week, picking both NFC games (including a road dog and a home favorite that needed to cover by almost 10 points!), but losing out on both AFC games. [...]

The Real World: Ultimate Hump list (50-41)

January 19th, 2006 · 6 Comments

(Editor’s note: At the urging of Jeffy I’ve added pictures, and links to the season for each cast member. So go ahead and check the older post out again, if you didn’t remember who some of those people were. Also, I changed Montana’s ranking, moving her down one spot to 57th, and I [...]

The Real World: The Ultimate List

January 18th, 2006 · 8 Comments

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Real World. I remember watching the first season at my grandparents place in Florida, back in 1992 (Chico cable didn’t unclude MTV until around 3 years later, just in time for the San Fransisco season). I was completely blown away.
I’ve been pretty much [...]

A lengthy correspondence

January 14th, 2006 · 2 Comments

I am the proud owner of a lovely 15” G4 Powerbook, named Norrin. For reasons so boring they make the story of saving money at the Gap seem like news of a leaked sex tape staring the cast of Laguna Beach, I am/was considering selling it in order to upgrade to the newer Intel-based [...]

NFL Divisional Round Playoff Picks

January 13th, 2006 · No Comments

We’re back with picks this week, trying to edge toward profitability. Picking playoff games is a bit rough, since both teams are, presumably, good squads who have a chance to win. Instead of “fun facts” or “favorite momements” this week, we’re going with another alternative way of picking teams: The number of USC [...]

You hate to say “I told you so”

January 12th, 2006 · No Comments

…but, you know, I told you so.
Here’s a quote from today’s (January 12th, 2006) “Daily Quickie” on ESPN.com, written by Dan Shanoff:
Here’s the thing about Bush: It’ll take an innovative coach to maximize his effectiveness. Stick him in the “Vicksand” of inside-the-box X’s and O’s, and Bush might as well be Dave Meggett.
Here’s what I [...]

Transitivity works for college football. Circularity does not.

January 11th, 2006 · 2 Comments

(Editors note: I am not a USC hater. I actually go to USC. I’m a Trojan. I wasn’t rooting for them — or against them, for that matter — during the Rose Bowl. My “rooting” interest in college football ended when the Miami Hurricanes decided to stay in Miami for [...]
