Sorry that I've been away for awhile but have been fighting the uprising of supposed ethics professors during this whole Patrios taping scandal. But there's nothing like a couple of victories to help clense the palate. Michigan State held off a game Pitt Panthers in a 17-13 win while the recently much-maligned New England Patriots put the boots to the supposed #3 team in the AFC (after NE and Indy) in a 38-14 victory. Nice way to start the workweek, if you ask me.

I almost took today off as it was a national holiday in the Schramm compound but since the Pats cruised to a 38-14 victory - I decided to gloat. Please to be reading the following commentary from around the Internets.

NME.com reports that No Doubt may go back to "their roots" and make a ska-flavored CD, which would be a great change of pace from the crap that is currently out in stores (outside of the recent crop of new hard rock/metal).

I'm not usually one to promote the sites that I frequent (yeah, right) but if you're a sports' nut like me, the above-referenced image is the place that you'll want to go to. armchairgm.com is basically like one big sports bar but it includes all teams and all leagues. And since the whole site is based on user participation, there is always something to discuss or argue about. You can even start rivalries with other users. armchairgm.com is probably one of the biggest growing sites about sports right now. C'mon, get in on the ground floor and become a part of the newest scene, man.

Ripped from the KFR headlines - my post about the price slashing of the iPhone and the new iPod. Read all about it (and my subsequent discussion with Steve in the comments section) here.

I'm on the fence about the latest batch of TV shows with elements of sci-fi and comic book mythos such as Heroes and Battlestar Galatica will generate any more comic book readers than are previously in existence. But there's always hope. The image above is for the aforementioned Heroes Hardcover that is due out in stores October 24th. If you're interested, here's the write-up about it:

This stunning hardcover collects the amazing online comics based on the smash-hit, Emmy Award-nominated NBC show HEROES! This volume — featuring two stunning covers by comics legends Jim Lee and Alex Ross — also includes an introduction by Masi Oka (Hiro), all 34 chapters of Season One, and Tim Sale's artwork as seen on the show. The comics included have been written and illustrated by some of comics' and television's top writers and artists, including Michael Turner, Phil Jimenez, Marcus To, and more!

For the past couple of weeks, my son has been getting his comic book geek wings by asking for (and most of the time) receiving the Hasbro/Marvel Super Hero Squad figures. His current obsession with super heroes rivals my own, which brings a tear to my eye. It's hard for me, as a parent, to limit his toy purchases when I myself would buy all of them in a heartbeat for him. so, as a nod to the boy, here's a new sculpt of Venom, who is one of the newest figures from the next wave of Spider-Man Super Hero Squad. Have a good Labor Day, y'all.

After years and years of waiting (I refer to it as The Chinese Democracy of Hip-Hop), Q-Tip's forever-in-the-works CD, The Renaissance, is expected to hit the shelves in the early part of 2008. To help get some early buzz as well as probably mending some faith with his longtime fans, Tip gave a brief description of three tracks from the new CD - Official, Be Brave, and Fever, to Entertainment Weekly's First Listen. He also gave an exclusive online interview about the trails and tribulations of moving from Arista to Dreamworks to Interscope to Geffen to (finally) Universal Motown. The interview will truly fascinate you.

Now, before you get all jazzed with anticipation about finally buying the disc, I've heard this song and dance before (as far back as 2005), so I'm taking any news about The Renaissance with a grain of salt.

I love it when the all-mighty preseason polls take a hit on the first week of the year and thankfully, U of M does not disappoint me in this fashion this year as they lose to a very tough but beatable Appalachian State, 34-32. In classic underachiever fashion, Michigan let their opponents get a big lead, fight back to lead late in the game then let victory slip through their fingers. As decidedly biased MSU fan, this loss pleases me to no end; almost more than seeing the Spartans take it to Division I-A UAB. But even objectively, this loss may haunt the Wolverines through out the whole year.

According to this ABC News report, the possibility of owning a flying car (or in this case, saucer) is becoming more fact than fiction. Although, the article never states the price of said vehicle, I can imagine that it is only for the wealthy people. Unless you're Dante Hicks, then you paying for it in more way than one. If you're unfamiliar with that above reference, check it out below:

Ripped from the pages of KFR, it's the first trailer for the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon that will debut under the WB Kids banner. Steve makes some good points about the images; although I disagree with the look of J. Jonah Jameson since I'm a big fan of the WB's Batman series. But I will leave that for you to decide. Enjoy...

Jim Carrey getting involved with the plight of Aung San Suu Kyi, an imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient in Burma. It is still shocking to hear of such inequities in today's "modern" world. Just listen to the message and then listen to your heart.

Saw this news over the weekend and thought that I would pass it along. Fro what I heard when the event happened back in December, this Q&A was great with parts both funny and informative. Well, that was over a half a year ago so it may not be as informative as it was but I'm sure that the humor still holds up. Probably the best reason to get this DVD is for the extra interviews with the likes of Jeph Loeb, Brian Pulido and You can buy this DVD for $24.95 with the proceeds to go to the Hero Initiative,a non-profit organization that helps comic book creators in need.

One of the presents from yesterday - played it for about an hour and I like how the Wii's innovative controller use is incorporated but I will need more time with the game before rendering a decision.

This Tim Burton drawn Batman image is really just a blatant plea for recognition as today is my 38th birthday. In honor of such an eventful milestone, I will not post again today. See ya tomorrow.

And just when you thought it was safe to watch reality competition shows, news from Variety .com has NBC bring back this laff-fest. Nevermind the blatant barrel-chested prototypes of perpetual steroids abuse that the men and women were sporting, the true enjoyment of this show was trying to see the "Gladiators" sell their "personas" to the TV audience. After one spot, it was obvious that there was a reason why they weren't working for Vince McMahon. But the announcement of this show has to be good for one person. It will allow Joe Theisman to return to his broadcasting roots. Go Joe!

Today is the boy's first soccer tryout and I can't wait to see how he does in something of an organized sport. So, make note of it here - today is the first day of the American version of David Beckham's career.

Eddie Griffin, formerly of the Minnesota Timberwolves, was indentified via dental records as the horribly charred body that was involved with a SUV/Train wreck last week. JA Adande of ESPN writes a good piece on the troubled life and time of Griffin. What this pointless death has to do with me is that Griffin was so stacked in NBA Live 06 that I traded for him in two different Franchise Mode games. He was great for boards and blocks and step up wiht a double digit game in every once in a while. It's just unfortunate that they guy couldn't just be like the video game and be trouble for his opponents on the court versus get in trouble with his actions off of it.
