Weekablog Groove

We're cranking out the links of the week a little early this week, because I'm heading to Beantown for the remainder of the work week and it's quite the action packed day in the sphere. Don't worry, Stan will hold down the fort for the rest of the way while I get into a brawl at Fenway.

Before we get into the action, the music video of the week is the astonishingly underrated 80s hit, Who's Johnny?, the theme from Short Circuit by the one and only El DeBarge. The courtroom dance segment at the end is simply epic and there is a really nice cardboard cutout of Steve Guttenberg in there.



OK, where were we?

You may have heard, but another member of the "classically trained" sports media is scared that nobody cares about him anymore. I guess in his defense, he looks like he took a horseshoe between the eyes (guy on the right), so he might have a few screws loose. Anyway, he's an ass, but it's not a bad idea to drum up some good PR. He's got every blog known to man writing about him today. I suspect he'll announce his new book is out next week any minute now.

Mac G has been keeping tabs on the story pretty well, so we'll direct you to his post for a slew of linkage on the subject.

In more important news, the dude who invented acid died today. So, we're a little more upset about that than the journo wars. Amazingly, he lived to be 102 years old. So long and thanks for all the Phish. Whoops.

In more terrible news, somebody sabotaged Five Tool Tool. DMT Shooter has narrowed down the list of suspects in this masterpiece, but needs your help to crack the case and help recover his lost blog.

The lovely ladies over at Babes Love Baseball have some nice slump busting sluts to recommend for Barry Zito to get his groove back. The only one I would add is Pedro Gomez. He's gotta be hurting for stories in the Bay Area these days and we suspect he has that "whatever it takes" journalistic ambition.

Finally, my pal Dave is the head chef at a new Italian restaurant in Washington Heights. Here's the first review and it's quite favorable. They have some bomb-ass meatballs and flatbread pizzas, so give it a shot if you are in the New York City area.
