Talkshow With Spike Feresten

There’s nothing like the light from a television to brighten an otherwise uneventful night.  But the choices have been similar for the past few years…Conan, Leno, Letterman…Carson Daly?  What is he still doing on television?
On weekends, the choices get much worse.  Paid programming, foreign cleavage on Telemundo, World Series of Poker…Carson Daly?  That’s strange.  Its […]

Adversity, the 12th Man

If there is one consistency with the Philadelphia Eagles, its that they perform well in the face of adversity…sometimes. In fact, I would go so far as to say that they only perform well in the face of adversity…usually.
In 2002, Donovan McNabb had one of the best games of his career. He played […]

Professional Players, Feminine Fighters

AVS, No Room for Bollywood Squares

In many Indian households AVS, the Asian Variety Show, serves as a glint of familiarity for many homegrown Indians who immigrated to the United States for one reason or another.  In the past, this program also acted as a catalyst for nostalgic thoughts.  I would sit with my parents sometimes as they would recount stories […]

So I Was Wrong…Philadelphia Sports

There was a time when I thought that I was pretty good at predicting results in the world of professional sports. I had a few successful sports predictions in the past that lured me into a false trust of my intuition. But over time I became fairly consistent in my wrongness, with sports […]

The Blood Bank

I’m tired of the blood banks playing the guilt card every time they need blood. I’m not bleeding people, why am I being blamed for the lack of blood in their bags? I don’t like the fact that people are dying and I could indirectly improve their chances of survival. But we […]

Free Market, Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3

I’ve always been an avid video game player.  I try to stay on or near the cutting edge when it comes to hardware, including PCs and consoles.  I am starting to warm to purchasing one of the new consoles that were recently released.  When I was younger, the only thing standing in between myself and […]
