  • Heisman prognosticators aren't that smart

    Congrats to Troy Smith for winning the Heisman trophy. He deserved it, and his win was a foregone conclusion.

    But most college football analysts dismissed the second-place finisher, Arkansas' Darren McFadden. Not a single ESPN talking head even gave him a chance to finish second. Every single one of them said Brady Quinn would finish second and really didn't give McFadden a 'second' thought.

    <>Here's to hoping he stays healthy next season, because he will be the first Razorback to win the Heisman trophy.

  • A Fall TV Update

    Since my last post about the new shows this season I watched, new news has emerged.

    As previously mentioned, 'Smith' got cancelled. No loss there.

    Now, ABC has cancelled 'The Nine.' Not missing it, either.

    NBC has picked up full season orders for '30 Rock.' I like this show pretty well, and think it's a wonderful portion of the Thursday night comedy block.

    <> NBC has also picked up a full season of 'Studio 60,' which in a mirror to one of the early episodes, apparently plays well to wealthy white people. I'm not wealthy, and I'm not entirely white, so I guess that show isn't even trying to appeal to me.
