Isolation Thought

One of the things I like about being off is I'm able to check on "The Jerry Springer Show". Our next governor still has it. Yesterday, a guest claimed she had "two years of college education." Jerry politely interjected, "You can't be on our show...did you lie during the interview?" Of course, the audience is out of control and Jerry always has that one line that only his floor manager gets, but proceeds to crack me up. He's still the King.

How about "The 10 Most Hated Men in Rock"? Recent Cleveland visitor John Popper, makes Honorable Mention. It's one man's opinion, but I kinda liked the list.

It's a good night for TV. Finally. "Frontline" debuts with a piece on the rebuilding of the WTC site. "P.O.V" resurrects "Wattstax", the black "Woodstock". And, of course, Fox starts "The Next Great Champ", for the few of us who remain fight fans. Yeah, it could suck like watching a Joe Mesi fight, but it's boxing.

TiVo and Netflix team up for movie downloads.

Exercise Yard

The saga of Tim Couch continues. The Pack cut him at the end of training camp, amid some strong comments of him dogging it during camp (his sore arm held him out of 10(!) training camp sessions), and not being the player the Packers thought they signed. He was beaten out by a third-stringer who had a (gulp) 18.5 passer rating in preseason. Clearly, this guy was in over his head. Oh, he may emerge like a Testaverde or a Dilfer, but I think he'll become more of a Rick Mirer type. It appears the Colts have some interest in him, ironically to fill the Kelly Holcomb role on the team.
