After attending the Burning River Fest yesterday, it makes sense to visit Wendy Park more often. The festival itself was better logistically, because you could roam around with your beer. OK, that was an exteremly selfish reason for liking it. But they interspersed the booths between environmental concerns, food, and arts and crafts. So that gave the vendors a fair shot on attracting people.

But the neat thing about the place is you get different vistas of the city instead of the same old, same old, that you see every day. I thought it was well attended and looked like a success.

"Weeds" starts its second season on Showtime tomorrow. It is one of my favorites. Justin Kirk as Andy is hilarious.

You don't really pay any attention to rules in sports until they affect your team. Thanks to Dwayne Rudd for pointing that out. Here are the NFL rules changes for this year. Most of them we won't notice, but you can bet the Browns will commit the more obscure fouls.

Doh! Homer Simpson is banned in China from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. This reminds me of the "Canadian Content" rule for their radio stations. Have to protect your own artists, even if they suck. Not sure if the Canadian law still exists.

Jules Winnfield, Puckhead



Since Samuel L. will be kicking asp soon, I thought it appropriate to rerun this. Look for the "Inglewood Jack".

I wake up today and we have no Americans as heavyweight champions. Wait a minute, Oleg Maskaev is an American citizen. Never mind. Travis Hafner is also an American and is still slam happy. That was his 6th grand slam of the year, tying Don Mattingly's record. Hafner is a pretty humble star, but he can have some really funny quotes at times.

BTW, Grady Sizemore with an absolutely sweet swing for a homer in Game 2 on Saturday. He'll have centerfield locked down for quite a while. Yes, went out on a limb for that prediction.

Visitor

None, it was an "I forgot to name a NASCAR fantasy lineup" Sunday.
