I don’t think that there’s a better example of someone doing the same schtick for a longer time and getting away with it than Chris Berman.  I mean, really?  Can I hear, ‘He… could… go… all… the… way!” one more time?  It’s the same crap, year after year.  That’s the problem with being a ‘gimmick’ sportscaster, it gets real old, real quick.

This is not to say that Berman doesn’t offer some good insights, but you have wade through a sea of diarrhea to reach and island of crap. Ok, that didn’t make much sense, but whatever. You know what I mean.

I have a brother.  That brother has a child.  That child will most likely grow up extremely maladjusted due to the action of the aforementioned brother.  However, until that materializes, the stuff that he makes my nephew do is pretty funny.  Watch and laugh.

I just learned today that my very dear friend, Ari Zeiger, has begun writing a blog. If ever the medium was invented for a particular individual, Ari was it. His writing style is self-reverential, filled with tons of big SAT words that I find myself having to look up.  There’s never a time when I read his writing that I don’t learn something.  That something may be a new word, something described in a way I never thought possible, or just how long-winded he can be.  Nevertheless, it’s something.

Let me be the first to welcome his blog onto this mess we call the internet. His first post, true to form, is a good one.  I encourage you to read and comment.  I know there will be many more.
