For years, we’ve heard the comments about the striking resemblance of drummer Chad Smith and comedian/actor Will Ferrell. I still contend that Farrell has a bit of Mark Lanegan running up there. Anyway, Smith & Farrell agreed to a “Traditional Drum-Off” on Thursday’s edition of “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.” Ultimately, the Farrell earned […]

Earlier this week, Alabama running back Derrick Henry posted a picture on Instagram that showed off his new car. As you’d expect, the post led to rumor, conjecture and speculation in the blogosphere. Former college football star at West Virginia Pat White fueled the story with a post on Facebook. White wrote: “Stop pretending like […]

Over the past couple days, I’ve seen a few stories about custom cleats and shoes as I traversed the Internet. Michael Jordan’s son gave the world a glimpse of some new golf cleats inspired by the original, iconic Nike “Air Jordan” shoes. You can see a picture of those here. Over at TerezOwens.com, I found […]

Former Arizona Wildcats and NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas has been in the news a bunch of late. Earlier this week, there was a story of Arenas forgiving Donald Sterling. Now, an Instagram video of Arenas counting off jumpshots has surfaced. What’s the big deal? He’s an ex-NBA player chucking up threes and playing pickup games […]

Those who know me are well-acquainted with my “Breaking Bad” fanboy status. OK, I have a number of television shows and films where character and plot information occupies far too much of my brain. Well, Giancarlo Esposito, who appeared as Gustavo Fring on “Breaking Bad” and Buggin’ Out in “Do The Right Thing,” (among countless […]

There’s a bracket challenge for just about everything this time of year. You can roll with snack foods, adult beverages, soft drinks and myriad options. Well, Disney got into the mix as well, creating a bracket challenge featuring the attractions from both Disneyland and Disney World. I’m a fan of many of these attractions, but […]

I saw this bit earlier this morning and it made me chuckle. I love the idea of the personalized operating system from the movie “Her.” Here’s the premise of the movie from IMDB.com: “A lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with his newly purchased operating system that’s designed to meet his every need.” And, of […]

I saw this on my timeline earlier today from ESPN Denver. I don’t think I need to add anything to John Elway’s words.

The 2014 Academy Awards on Sunday night gave us a number of memorable moments – the pizza guy, the “selfie,” a new type of advertising via Samsung and, uh, Adele Dazeem. That is to say, John Travolta offered a tremendous introduction to Idina Menzel’s performance of “Let It Go.” Unfortunately, he failed to stick the […]

My musical preferences have been well established here inside the Swollen Dome.

I always say that the world could use a little more Bootsy Collins. As I ponder suit choices for Super Bowl coverage in New York, I can’t help but thing that one of these numbers would bring down the house. Listen to Bootsy’s tribute to Peyton Manning.

As I made my rounds to procure the vital pieces for the holiday dinner (read – liquor and desserts), I heard an interesting piece on NPR that just seemed so appropriate. We’d noticed a change in the shelf considerations at the local grocery stores this fall. The craft beer selections have been creeping into the […]

The week started strong with a 2-1 record against the spread on Thanksgiving Day. The late touchdown from Roethlisberger to Cotchery (failed 2-point conversion) gave us a curious win. We can keep the discussion of the Mike Tomlin play rolling, as I’m sure the NFL will chime in soon. Game Straight Up Against The Spread […]

Anybody familiar with my work at Yahoo! Sports, FOXSports.com and FOX Sports Radio knows of my affinity for “The Shawshank Redemption,” an obsession that began at its release. It’s on that top-5 leaderboard of movies that you must watch to its conclusion if you spot it on cable television. It’s true. Frank Darabont, Morgan Freeman […]

With the season finale on tap for Sunday, Donovan McNabb and the FOX Sports Live panel discussed NASCAR and drivers’, particularly Jimmie Johnson, standing in the sports world as “athletes.” McNabb declared point blank that Johnson was not an athlete, prompting rage in the Twitterverse & social media. Of course, it raised the age-old topic […]

Every once in a while, you see a headline that stops you in your tracks. In the sports world, nods to injuries or silly rants/comments by owners, GMs and “bulletin board” material usually garner the most attention. Hell, the “Homecoming” game for Peyton Manning in Indianapolis is the No. 1 bit of the week. But, […]

The Raiders were obliterated by the Broncos on Monday Night Football, as Peyton Manning posted the highest completion of his career (more than 20 attempts). Eric Decker, Julius Thomas and Wes Welker all caught touchdown passes. Demaryius Thomas recorded 10 receptions, and the running backs reportedly played rock-paper-scissors to decide who got the goal-line carry. […]

“Rocky” was a huge movie back in the mid-70s, an underdog story that thrust Sylvester Stallone into Hollywood superstardom and launched a series of movies. We all celebrated one-liners of the first two films and superior fight footage. “Rocky III” gave us Mr. T’s arrival as “Clubber Lang” and the brilliance of Hulk Hogan’s “Thunderlips.” […]
