It\'s a good thing Roger Moore is still alive and kicking--he\'s a <a href=\"http://www.cherishedtelevision.co.uk/rogermoore.html\" target=\"_blank\">Saint</a>.\n\nRoger Clemens. That guy. I need to fire on all 8 cylinders for this one.\n\nI\'m a very forgiving human being. In fact, I don\'t hate Roger Clemens for using PEDs, I don\'t hate him for lying about it and I don\'t even dislike him for the episodes--but I can\'t stand the guy. I couldn\'t stand him as a player, and I can\'t stand him as a fellow member of society. I couldn\'t stand how he wished he were the Brett Favre of the baseball world, and I wish to this day that Mike Piazza would have thrown the nub of his bat at Clemens after Clemens threw the head of the bat at Mikey.\n\nI remember in depth conversations I had about Roger Clemens late in his career. I\'ll never forget, round about 2003 or 2004, perhaps, when my brother said to me, \"I can\'t believe that everyone only wants to single out Barry Bonds. If there is anyone in the league that I am 100 percent certain is on steroids, it\'s Roger Clemens.\" And you know what, you couldn\'t argue. How was the guy getting better at a power position, as his body got older. People can say what they will about his training regimen, but they showed videos of it, and it wasn\'t that impressive. Yeah, it was obvious--the dude was DRANKIN\' the juice. And honestly, he always acted like such a prick--like the world owed him a huge debt for being a great pitcher.\n\nI laugh when people mutter the words \"Hall of Fame\" in the same breath as \"Roger Clemens.\" And I also hate when people try and justify Hall of Fame inductions based solely on numbers. Halls of Fame have become jokes because bums like this are in them. They should be places of celebration, not contention. Make no mistake, there will never be another discussion about Roger Clemens, only arguments.\n\nWhew. Cleansing breath. Now, to the serious matter at hand. An indictment that it going to put Clemens in court. And do you know what sucks? He still won\'t admit that he used PEDs. If for some reason he comes out and states that he did use the drugs, I\'m sure that he\'ll also say it was because he loved the game soooo much, and he didn\'t know how to let it go.\n\nDo I think he\'s going to jail? Nah. But I think it\'s far more likely that he\'ll land in the clink than he will in Cooperstown.\n\n<img title=\"clemens\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/clemens.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"362\" />','Ranting on Roger Clemens','Roger Clemens.

Produced with all the grandeur and glory you’d expect from <a href=\"http://www.nflfilms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Films</a>, <em>Hard Knocks</em> follows the unheralded moments that shape an NFL team’s roster during training camp and into the preseason. The show started in 2001 and there have been six seasons so far. The Ravens, Cowboys, Jags, Chiefs and Bengals have all participated (the Cowboys were spotlighted on two separate occasions), and the New York Jets will be featured in the latest installment that airs in September.\r\n\r\nFrom contract disputes to players on the bubble, super star egos and smoking hot wives (<a href=\"http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/october.JPG\" target=\"_blank\">October Gonzalez</a> and <a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yGeA_PC563M/SUfPQW7rerI/AAAAAAAADe4/QPF2AurKafs/s400/Kelli+Croyle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Kelli Croyle</a> FTW!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> gives fans an inside, albeit semi-staged looked at the inner workings of an NFL organization in the final weeks leading up to the regular season. If you want to see how Marvin Lewis motivates his players (spoiler alert: Fight Back T-Shirts!) or how a third-string fullback battles for a roster spot (who doesn’t love <a href=\"http://arrowheadaddict.com/files/2007/08/boomer2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Boomer Grigsby</a>!) or how Jerry Jones runs a meeting (classic!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> delivers.\r\n\r\nMANjr wants you to get all caught up on the Hard Knocks action. Unfortunately, last season isn’t on Hulu yet so you can’t hear Marvin Lewis scream “Eleven together! Fiiight baaack!” But at least you can pound through the first five seasons in one place. Enjoy!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>Season 1 – The Baltimore Ravens (2001)</h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\"

The Ravens, Cowboys, Jags, Chiefs and Bengals have all participated (the Cowboys were spotlighted on two separate occasions), and the New York Jets will be featured in the latest installment that airs in September.\n\nFrom contract disputes to players on the bubble, super star egos and smoking hot wives (<a href=\"http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/october.JPG\" target=\"_blank\">October Gonzalez</a> and <a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yGeA_PC563M/SUfPQW7rerI/AAAAAAAADe4/QPF2AurKafs/s400/Kelli+Croyle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Kelli Croyle</a> FTW!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> gives fans an inside, albeit semi-staged looked at the inner workings of an NFL organization in the final weeks leading up to the regular season. If you want to see how Marvin Lewis motivates his players (spoiler alert: Fight Back T-Shirts!) or how a third-string fullback battles for a roster spot (who doesn’t love <a href=\"http://arrowheadaddict.com/files/2007/08/boomer2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Boomer Grigsby</a>!) or how Jerry Jones runs a meeting (classic!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> delivers.\n\nMANjr wants you to get all caught up on the Hard Knocks action. Unfortunately, last season isn’t on Hulu yet so you can’t hear Marvin Lewis scream “Eleven together! Fiiight baaack!” But at least you can pound through the first five seasons in one place.

system. You’ll find a bunch of MP3 docking stations out there, but few provide the elegance and performance of the Edifier Luna5 iF500-Encore All-In-One Audio System.\r\n\r\nI mean the thing just looks good. It’s something that you can place anywhere in your home. And it sounds awesome, too. The Luna5 Encore is a 5-driver speaker system (4 speakers, one subwoofer) that’s powered by two separate digital amps. A 30-Watt amp fuels the bass driver and a 22-Watt amp powers the mids and tweeters.\r\n\r\nOn the performance side, you really can’t ask for more out of such a compact unit. The lows come out clean, the highs and mids are clear, and the convenience factor is off the charts. You can hook up your phone or other MP3 device to this thing in seconds.\r\n\r\nThe Edifier Luna5 iF500-Encore All-In-One Audio System <a href=\"http://www.jr.com/edifier/pe/EDF_LUNA5/\" target=\"_blank\">retails for $299</a>. It’s not all that cheap, but you certainly get what you pay for with this system.','Review - The Edifier Luna5 iF500-Encore All-In-One Audio System','','publish','open','open','','review-the-edifier-luna5-if500-encore-all-in-one-audio-system','','','2010-07-20 13:22:24','2010-07-20 20:22:24','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=1078',0,'post','',1),(1651,2,'2010-08-25 12:21:32','2010-08-25 19:21:32','Chad Ochocinco has a Twitter problem. It’s nothing new. The guy’s been on the tweets for some time now. He loves it. Ochocinco even started <a href=\"http://mashable.com/2009/10/25/ocnn-chad-ochocinco/\" target=\"_blank\">his own sports network</a> on the thing. OCNN, the Ochocinco News Network, was launched last year under the slogan “If I break it, you might as well believe it.”\r\n\r\nBut tweets have gotten Ochocinco in trouble in the past. He got some heat for smack tweeting with guys like Nick Barnett, Shawne Merriman, Mark Schlereth, Mike Golic and Mike Florio When the NFL fined Ochocinco $30,000 for sporting a decorative poncho and sombrero, the fine was so stiff because Ochocinco tweeted about the celebration ahead of time.“What I\'ve planned for today will get me fined when I score but it\'s so worth it,” he posted in a tweet to Adam Schefter.\r\n\r\nLast season, Ochocinco’s Twitter obsession prompted the NFL to issue a game day social media policy. The policy prevents all players, coaches and football personnel from posting to social media sites like Twitter and Facebook 90 minutes before the start of the game up until the post-game interviews are completed.\r\n\r\nOchocinco <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/07/09/chads-not-happy-about-no-tweeting-rule/\" target=\"_blank\">wasn’t happy about the policy</a> at the time. “Damn NFL and these rules,\" Ochocinco tweeted last summer.  “I am going by my own set of rules, I ain\'t hurting nobody or getting in trouble, I am putting my foot down!!”\r\n\r\nAfter getting hit hard in a preseason game last week, Ochocinco decided to post an in-game tweet about it:\r\n\r\n\"Man Im sick of getting hit like that, its the damn preseason shit! 1day I\'m gone jump up and start throwing hay makers, <a title=\"#Tylenolplease\" href=\"http://twitter.com/search?q=%23Tylenolplease\" target=\"_blank\">#Tylenolplease</a>.\"\r\n\r\nAnd the NFL <a href=\"http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d819fb95a/article/ingame-tweeting-costs-bengals-ochocinco-25000\" target=\"_blank\">fined him $25,000</a> for it.\r\n\r\nOchocinco’s response?\r\n\r\n“Dear NFL I apologize for tweeting during the game but that was 2 months of my you just took from me, I won\'t do it again”\r\n\r\nSo there you have it. Ochocinco says he won’t do it again. I say if you’re going to get fined $25,000, have it be for something bold, not an in-game preseason tweet. It just doesn’t seem worth the 25K.\r\n\r\nThe NFL has to draw the line somewhere, but the league also needs players like Ochocinco to push the envelope on fun a little bit.

Produced with all the grandeur and glory you’d expect from <a href=\"http://www.nflfilms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Films</a>, <em>Hard Knocks</em> follows the unheralded moments that shape an NFL team’s roster during training camp and into the preseason. The show started in 2001 and there have been six seasons so far. The Ravens, Cowboys, Jags, Chiefs and Bengals have all participated (the Cowboys were spotlighted on two separate occasions), and the New York Jets will be featured in the latest installment that airs in September.\r\n\r\nFrom contract disputes to players on the bubble, super star egos and smoking hot wives (<a href=\"http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/october.JPG\" target=\"_blank\">October Gonzalez</a> and <a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yGeA_PC563M/SUfPQW7rerI/AAAAAAAADe4/QPF2AurKafs/s400/Kelli+Croyle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Kelli Croyle</a> FTW!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> gives fans an inside, albeit semi-staged looked at the inner workings of an NFL organization in the final weeks leading up to the regular season. If you want to see how Marvin Lewis motivates his players (spoiler alert: Fight Back T-Shirts!) or how a third-string fullback battles for a roster spot (who doesn’t love <a href=\"http://arrowheadaddict.com/files/2007/08/boomer2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Boomer Grigsby</a>!) or how Jerry Jones runs a meeting (classic!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> delivers.\r\n\r\nMANjr wants you to get all caught up on the Hard Knocks action. Unfortunately, last season isn’t on Hulu yet so you can’t hear Marvin Lewis scream “Eleven together! Fiiight baaack!” But at least you can pound through the first five seasons in one place.

As soon as you walk in, you know you\'re in for a different theater experience. The place is setup like a regular bar -- McSwiggins -- complete with bartenders serving drinks and what looked to be some drunks lounging on bar stools. Tables and chairs were set up facing the bar and people were just hanging out, waiting for the show to start.\r\n\r\nAs I stood at the bar, ordered some Scotch and waited for a seat, an old chatty dude in a Hawaiian shirt asked me if I knew what this thing was all about. He said he knew the bartender and he could get me hooked up. I smiled, told him I didn\'t know much about what to expect and said no thank you to his drink offer.\r\n\r\nOnce everyone took their seats, the play started unfolding. The cocktail waitress at the bar continued to serve drinks throughout the show, but the bartender who served me my Scotch was actually Steve Sears, the actor who plays the Bartender and the old drunk guy was already-in-character Bruce Schroffel, who plays Earl, the old timer, loud-mouth regular drunk that you see in every bar.\r\n\r\nAs the show started, I thought this whole setup was pretty cool. Rather than being detached from the stage action, the audience felt like they were actual participants in the play. Cute girls in the front would get a surprise hand on the shoulder from Earl. Everyone was instructed to salute and drink whenever any character mentioned the word McSwiggins. At one point the cast members even passed out shots to everyone in attendance. A lively, interactive time was had by all.\r\n\r\nThe whole play was written as an outrageous, farcical comedy. Regulars at a bar lament over the fact that their beloved drinking hole is going to be shut down. Drunk talk ensues. Tobias Jelinek, who played Joe, was a total scene stealer. I also really liked the Mayor, played by Kim Estes. The entire cast pulled it all off, let everyone in on the action and made sure that everyone had a good time. You can\'t really ask for more.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nDrunk Talk was produced/directed by Thomas Blake, the LA and SF  co-producer/director of the wildly popular “Point Break  Live!” and written by Lance Whinery, who writes for the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement and acted in the play as well. I had a chance to ask Lance (who also played Jerry in the play) some questions about the show and other fun stuff:\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I read that Drunk Talk was entirely conceived at a bar. Are the characters based on friends of yours or are they composite sketches of typical people you’d find at a bar?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: More of the latter.  It seems that there\'s always that couple that constantly is on the rocks, the old timer vet, the guy chasing his dreams, the drunk flirt, etc...  I definitely knew the types and then they kind wrote themselves -- though certainly a few jokes were based on actual conversations I\'ve had along the way.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1105\" title=\"McSwiggins\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/McSwiggins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: The coolest thing about the atmosphere at McSwiggins is that the audience feels like they’re actually involved in the play. What was your inspiration for breaking down the audience wall and letting audience members in on the action?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: A lot of that came from Thomas Blake, the director.  He was really interested in doing something in that environment.  My first conception of the play was not that, more of just these ten people in an empty dive bar.  But after talking about it with him, we both got excited about really opening it up, making you feel that you yourself watching are practically a character.  Plus, it just seemed to provide a lot of different laughs that you could only get in that format. And, much like in a real bar, since you never know what could happen when seventy or eighty other people join you in the room, each show is a little different with how our actors deal with it.  People enjoy the idea that they aren\'t going to see a play, they\'re going to a bar where a play happens to break out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What the hell was in that shot you guys passed out to everyone? My guess is Tequila and Kool-Aid.\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: That\'s as good a guess as any.  I think it\'s some variation of a Sex on the Beach but I could be wrong.  I wouldn\'t expect to see them featured on any fine dining programs, but McSwiggin\'s is a dive bar so I guess they fit.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: You wrote the play and you perform in it as well. What do you prefer, acting or writing?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: Acting is a ton of fun, especially when you get to work with so many talented and funny performers, but writing has been my main pursuit.  And since I often tend to write characters that come from my own voice, it\'s easier for me to fall into those roles.  I probably would get a bigger thrill, however, from someone who said they loved my writing than loved my acting.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How long did it take you to write Drunk Talk?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: I wrote the first draft probably in about a month.  Honestly, back in that bar when I was first discussing it, it was going to be a drama.  Then I came up with the ending and thought that would really be funny and realized this would play much better as a goofy comedy.  So I came up with the characters and kind of wrote it backwards.  But even now, I\'ll tinker with jokes or try something different one night to see if it gets a better response, and of course the improv moments that change every night, so in a way, the writing is never quite done.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What’s it like writing for a show like Rules of Engagement? How do you generate ideas and how is writing for a sitcom different than writing a play?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: TV shows are a great place to work, it\'s basically about ten writers sitting around a table cracking jokes and somewhere in the middle of the day, someone brings you lunch.  Many stories are based on an actual event (usually less funny) from somebody\'s life, and then the room will try to figure out how that could be funny with our characters.  All the writing is filtered through the head writer/Executive Producer of the show and it is all very collaborative.  The main difference is there I am at the bottom of the totem pole, trying to squeeze in a joke or two while the play is my baby where I get to be in charge.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What are you working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: Rules is my Monday through Friday job and I will be doing another script for them this season.  And Drunk Talk is my Sundays.  My other job is at various bars around the city doing, uh... research...\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Do you still do stand-up?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: I don\'t do a ton of stand-up anymore, but every now and then I will pop up and do a set somewhere.  The cool thing about stand-up is you can write something and be up on stage that night seeing if anyone thinks it\'s funny.  Though it is harder to blame someone else if it all blows up in my face.\r\n\r\nDrunk Talk is extending it\'s run, so if you\'re in LA, go see it.

You can see it. You can hear it. He hasn\'t been overly demanding, but he wants the heck out of Houston. Who can blame him? It\'s so freakin\' humid there. The franchise is well aware that freeing up Oswalt might also offer them a bat or two to build with, as well as a prospect or two, but where would Roy end up?\r\n\r\nAll signs have been pointing to Philadelphia. In fact, if you watched ESPN\'s Monday Night Baseball, it was all the commentators were talking about after the Cardinals went on a home run barrage, tagging 4 in two innings. At present, Oswalt\'s contract demands seem to be the issue in moving the deal forward between Philly and Houston, namely the 16 million dollar option he has for 2012. He wants it before he would agree to a trade. It\'s one thing to ask this Roy to go play second fiddle to the other Roy (Halladay) they picked up in Philadelphia in the off-season, but I just can\'t see Philly agreeing to the tie up an additional <a href=\"http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5398937\" target=\"_blank\">16 mil. for the 2012 option</a>.\r\n\r\nI think this deal is dead in the water. Had they started negotiations earlier, or perhaps if Philly looked like they were going to compete with Atlanta in the NL East <em>this year</em>, it might be a different story. I think Roy will pitch out the season in Houston, and once the off-season rolls around, you might see some movement from one of the AL east coast squads with a little more money to toss around.\r\n\r\nOther trade rumors a-flyin\'? Well, not so much. A little bit of something surrounding <a href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/423066-cardinals-acquiring-dan-haren-plausible\" target=\"_blank\">Arizona Diamondback\'s Dan Haren</a>, but other than my own personal bias for the St. Louis Cardinals and wanting to see the kid come back to where he began his career, not a lot has been said--some potential interest from Philly. I don\'t think Haren has much of a desire to pitch east of the Mississippi. I\'m hopeful the Cardinals are doing things quietly, similar to their acquiring Matt Holliday around this time last year. (<em>Yeah, I want Haren back in the STL. I\'m still bitter about the Haren/Calero for Mulder trade back in \'04. Worst deal ever.</em>)\r\n\r\nSomeone is going to make a move before the July 31st deadline, and it will probably be a significant move--the only question: Who\'s it going to be? I certainly don\'t think it\'ll be Roy Oswalt\r\n\r\n(Image via: <a href=\"http://www.athbaseball.com/20100517332/2010-archives/may/dodgers-interested-in-roy-oswalt.html\" target=\"_blank\">Around the Horn Baseball</a>)','Roy Oswalt Trade Begins to Sputter Before Deadline','Don\'t get your hopes up, Phillies fans, I think one Roy is all you\'ll enjoy in 2010.

Drunk Talk was written by Lance Whinery, who writes for the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement and produced/directed by Thomas Blake, the LA and SF  co-producer/director of the wildly popular “Point Break  Live!”\n\nCS: I read that Drunk Talk was entirely conceived at a bar. Are the characters based on friends of yours or are they composite sketches of typical people you’d find at a bar?\n\nLW: More of the latter.  It seems that there\'s always that couple that constantly is on the rocks, the old timer vet, the guy chasing his dreams, the drunk flirt, etc...  I definitely knew the types and then they kind wrote themselves -- though certainly a few jokes were based on actual conversations I\'ve had along the way.\n\nCS: The coolest thing about the atmosphere at McSwiggins is that the audience feels like they’re actually involved in the play. What was your inspiration for breaking down the audience wall and letting audience members in on the action?\n\nLW: A lot of that came from Thomas Blake, the director.  He was really interested in doing something in that environment.  My first conception of the play was not that, more of just these ten people in an empty dive bar.  But after talking about it with him, we both got excited about really opening it up, making you feel that you yourself watching are practically a character.  Plus, it just seemed to provide a lot of different laughs that you could only get in that format. And, much like in a real bar, since you never know what could happen when seventy or eighty other people join you in the room, each show is a little different with how our actors deal with it.  People enjoy the idea that they aren\'t going to see a play, they\'re going to a bar where a play happens to break out.\n\nCS: What the hell was in that shot you guys passed out to everyone? My guess is Tequila and Kool-Aid.\n\nLW: That\'s as good a guess as any.  I think it\'s some variation of a Sex on the Beach but I could be wrong.  I wouldn\'t expect to see them featured on any fine dining programs, but McSwiggin\'s is a dive bar so I guess they fit.\n\nCS: You wrote the play and you perform in it as well. What do you prefer, acting or writing?\n\nLW: Acting is a ton of fun, especially when you get to work with so many talented and funny performers, but writing has been my main pursuit.  And since I often tend to write characters that come from my own voice, it\'s easier for me to fall into those roles.  I probably would get a bigger thrill, however, from someone who said they loved my writing than loved my acting.\n\nCS: How long did it take you to write Drunk Talk?\n\nLW: I wrote the first draft probably in about a month.  Honestly, back in that bar when I was first discussing it, it was going to be a drama.  Then I came up with the ending and thought that would really be funny and realized this would play much better as a goofy comedy.  So I came up with the characters and kind of wrote it backwards.  But even now, I\'ll tinker with jokes or try something different one night to see if it gets a better response, and of course the improv moments that change every night, so in a way, the writing is never quite done.\n\nCS: What’s it like writing for a show like Rules of Engagement?

As soon as you walk in, you know you\'re in for a different theater experience. The place is setup like a regular bar -- McSwiggins -- complete with bartenders serving drinks and what looked to be some drunks lounging on bar stools. Tables and chairs were set up facing the bar and people were just hanging out, waiting for the show to start.\n\nAs I stood at the bar, ordered some Scotch and waited for a seat, an old chatty dude in a Hawaiian shirt asked me if I knew what this thing was all about. He said he knew the bartender and he good get me hooked up. I smiled, told him I didn\'t know much about what to expect and said no thank you to his drink offer.\n\nOnce everyone took their seats, the play started unfolding. The cocktail waitress at the bar continued to serve drinks throughout the show, but the bartender who served me my Scotch was actually Steve Sears, the actor who plays the Bartender and the old drunk guy was already-in-character Bruce Schroffel, who plays Earl, the old timer, loud-mouth regular drunk that you see in every bar.\n\nAs the show started, I thought this whole setup was pretty cool. Rather than being detached from the stage action. the audience felt like they were actual participants in the play. Cute girls in the front would get a surprise hand on the shoulder from Earl. Everyone was instructed to salute and drink whenever any character mentioned the word McSwiggins. At one point the cast members even passed out shots to everyone in attendance. A lively, interactive time was had by all.\n\nThe whole play was written as an outrageous, farcical comedy. Regulars at a bar lament over the fact that their beloved drinking hole is going to be shut down. Drunk talk ensues. Tobias Jelinek, who played Joe, was a total scene stealer. I also really liked the Mayor, played by Kim Estes. The entire cast pulled it all off, let everyone in on the action and made sure that everyone had a good time. You can\'t really ask for more.\n\nDrunk Talk was produced/directed by Thomas Blake, the LA and SF  co-producer/director of the wildly popular “Point Break  Live!” and written by Lance Whinery, who writes for the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement and acted in the play as well. I had a chance to ask Lance (who also played Jerry in the play) some questions about the show and other fun stuff:\n\nCS: I read that Drunk Talk was entirely conceived at a bar. Are the characters based on friends of yours or are they composite sketches of typical people you’d find at a bar?\n\nLW: More of the latter.  It seems that there\'s always that couple that constantly is on the rocks, the old timer vet, the guy chasing his dreams, the drunk flirt, etc...  I definitely knew the types and then they kind wrote themselves -- though certainly a few jokes were based on actual conversations I\'ve had along the way.\n\nCS: The coolest thing about the atmosphere at McSwiggins is that the audience feels like they’re actually involved in the play.

What do you prefer, acting or writing?\n\nLW: Acting is a ton of fun, especially when you get to work with so many talented and funny performers, but writing has been my main pursuit.  And since I often tend to write characters that come from my own voice, it\'s easier for me to fall into those roles.  I probably would get a bigger thrill, however, from someone who said they loved my writing than loved my acting.\n\nCS: How long did it take you to write Drunk Talk?\n\nLW: I wrote the first draft probably in about a month.  Honestly, back in that bar when I was first discussing it, it was going to be a drama.  Then I came up with the ending and thought that would really be funny and realized this would play much better as a goofy comedy.  So I came up with the characters and kind of wrote it backwards.  But even now, I\'ll tinker with jokes or try something different one night to see if it gets a better response, and of course the improv moments that change every night, so in a way, the writing is never quite done.\n\nCS: What’s it like writing for a show like Rules of Engagement? How do you generate ideas and how is writing for a sitcom different than writing a play?\n\nLW: TV shows are a great place to work, it\'s basically about ten writers sitting around a table cracking jokes and somewhere in the middle of the day, someone brings you lunch.  Many stories are based on an actual event (usually less funny) from somebody\'s life, and then the room will try to figure out how that could be funny with our characters.  All the writing is filtered through the head writer/Executive Producer of the show and it is all very collaborative.  The main difference is there I am at the bottom of the totem pole, trying to squeeze in a joke or two while the play is my baby where I get to be in charge.\n\nCS: What are you working on now?\n\nLW: Rules is my Monday through Friday job and I will be doing another script for them this season.  And Drunk Talk is my Sundays.  My other job is at various bars around the city doing, uh... research...\n\nCS: Do you still do stand-up?\n\nLW: I don\'t do a ton of stand-up anymore, but every now and then I will pop up and do a set somewhere.  The cool thing about stand-up is you can write something and be up on stage that night seeing if anyone thinks it\'s funny.  Though it is harder to blame someone else if it all blows up in my face.','Drunk Talk - Review and Interview with Lance Whinery ','','inherit','open','open','','1087-revision-5','','','2010-07-22 11:21:02','2010-07-22 18:21:02','',1087,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1087-revision-5/',0,'revision','',0),(1103,2,'2010-07-22 11:28:42','2010-07-22 18:28:42','','Drunk Talk','','inherit','open','open','','drunk-talk','','','2010-07-22 11:28:42','2010-07-22 18:28:42','',1087,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Drunk-Talk.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(1104,2,'2010-07-22 11:29:01','2010-07-22 18:29:01','<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1103\" title=\"Drunk Talk\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Drunk-Talk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"350\" />I recently saw the play Drunk Talk at the Dragonfly in Hollywood, and I got to say, it was pretty clever stuff. As soon as you walk in, you know you\'re in for a different theater experience. The place is setup like a regular bar -- McSwiggins -- complete with bartenders serving drinks and what looked to be some drunks lounging on bar stools. Tables and chairs were set up facing the bar and people were just hanging out, waiting for the show to start.\n\nAs I stood at the bar, ordered some Scotch and waited for a seat, an old chatty dude in a Hawaiian shirt asked me if I knew what this thing was all about. He said he knew the bartender and he good get me hooked up. I smiled, told him I didn\'t know much about what to expect and said no thank you to his drink offer.\n\nOnce everyone took their seats, the play started unfolding. The cocktail waitress at the bar continued to serve drinks throughout the show, but the bartender who served me my Scotch was actually Steve Sears, the actor who plays the Bartender and the old drunk guy was already-in-character Bruce Schroffel, who plays Earl, the old timer, loud-mouth regular drunk that you see in every bar.\n\nAs the show started, I thought this whole setup was pretty cool. Rather than being detached from the stage action. the audience felt like they were actual participants in the play. Cute girls in the front would get a surprise hand on the shoulder from Earl. Everyone was instructed to salute and drink whenever any character mentioned the word McSwiggins. At one point the cast members even passed out shots to everyone in attendance. A lively, interactive time was had by all.\n\nThe whole play was written as an outrageous, farcical comedy. Regulars at a bar lament over the fact that their beloved drinking hole is going to be shut down. Drunk talk ensues. Tobias Jelinek, who played Joe, was a total scene stealer. I also really liked the Mayor, played by Kim Estes. The entire cast pulled it all off, let everyone in on the action and made sure that everyone had a good time. You can\'t really ask for more.\n\nDrunk Talk was produced/directed by Thomas Blake, the LA and SF  co-producer/director of the wildly popular “Point Break  Live!” and written by Lance Whinery, who writes for the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement and acted in the play as well. I had a chance to ask Lance (who also played Jerry in the play) some questions about the show and other fun stuff:\n\nCS: I read that Drunk Talk was entirely conceived at a bar. Are the characters based on friends of yours or are they composite sketches of typical people you’d find at a bar?\n\nLW: More of the latter.  It seems that there\'s always that couple that constantly is on the rocks, the old timer vet, the guy chasing his dreams, the drunk flirt, etc...  I definitely knew the types and then they kind wrote themselves -- though certainly a few jokes were based on actual conversations I\'ve had along the way.\n\nCS: The coolest thing about the atmosphere at McSwiggins is that the audience feels like they’re actually involved in the play. What was your inspiration for breaking down the audience wall and letting audience members in on the action?\n\nLW: A lot of that came from Thomas Blake, the director.  He was really interested in doing something in that environment.  My first conception of the play was not that, more of just these ten people in an empty dive bar.  But after talking about it with him, we both got excited about really opening it up, making you feel that you yourself watching are practically a character.  Plus, it just seemed to provide a lot of different laughs that you could only get in that format.

As soon as you walk in, you know you\'re in for a different theater experience. The place is setup like a regular bar -- McSwiggins -- complete with bartenders serving drinks and what looked to be some drunks lounging on bar stools. Tables and chairs were set up facing the bar and people were just hanging out, waiting for the show to start.\n\nAs I stood at the bar, ordered some Scotch and waited for a seat, an old chatty dude in a Hawaiian shirt asked me if I knew what this thing was all about. He said he knew the bartender and he could get me hooked up. I smiled, told him I didn\'t know much about what to expect and said no thank you to his drink offer.\n\nOnce everyone took their seats, the play started unfolding. The cocktail waitress at the bar continued to serve drinks throughout the show, but the bartender who served me my Scotch was actually Steve Sears, the actor who plays the Bartender and the old drunk guy was already-in-character Bruce Schroffel, who plays Earl, the old timer, loud-mouth regular drunk that you see in every bar.\n\nAs the show started, I thought this whole setup was pretty cool. Rather than being detached from the stage action, the audience felt like they were actual participants in the play. Cute girls in the front would get a surprise hand on the shoulder from Earl. Everyone was instructed to salute and drink whenever any character mentioned the word McSwiggins. At one point the cast members even passed out shots to everyone in attendance. A lively, interactive time was had by all.\n\nThe whole play was written as an outrageous, farcical comedy. Regulars at a bar lament over the fact that their beloved drinking hole is going to be shut down. Drunk talk ensues. Tobias Jelinek, who played Joe, was a total scene stealer. I also really liked the Mayor, played by Kim Estes. The entire cast pulled it all off, let everyone in on the action and made sure that everyone had a good time. You can\'t really ask for more.\n\n<!--more-->\n\nDrunk Talk was produced/directed by Thomas Blake, the LA and SF  co-producer/director of the wildly popular “Point Break  Live!” and written by Lance Whinery, who writes for the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement and acted in the play as well. I had a chance to ask Lance (who also played Jerry in the play) some questions about the show and other fun stuff:\n\n<strong>CS</strong>: I read that Drunk Talk was entirely conceived at a bar. Are the characters based on friends of yours or are they composite sketches of typical people you’d find at a bar?\n\n<strong>LW</strong>: More of the latter.  It seems that there\'s always that couple that constantly is on the rocks, the old timer vet, the guy chasing his dreams, the drunk flirt, etc...  I definitely knew the types and then they kind wrote themselves -- though certainly a few jokes were based on actual conversations I\'ve had along the way.\n\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1105\" title=\"McSwiggins\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/McSwiggins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" />\n\n<strong>CS</strong>: The coolest thing about the atmosphere at McSwiggins is that the audience feels like they’re actually involved in the play. What was your inspiration for breaking down the audience wall and letting audience members in on the action?\n\n<strong>LW</strong>: A lot of that came from Thomas Blake, the director.  He was really interested in doing something in that environment.  My first conception of the play was not that, more of just these ten people in an empty dive bar.  But after talking about it with him, we both got excited about really opening it up, making you feel that you yourself watching are practically a character.  Plus, it just seemed to provide a lot of different laughs that you could only get in that format. And, much like in a real bar, since you never know what could happen when seventy or eighty other people join you in the room, each show is a little different with how our actors deal with it.  People enjoy the idea that they aren\'t going to see a play, they\'re going to a bar where a play happens to break out.\n\n<strong>CS</strong>: What the hell was in that shot you guys passed out to everyone?

Produced with all the grandeur and glory you’d expect from <a href=\"http://www.nflfilms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">NFL Films</a>, <em>Hard Knocks</em> follows the unheralded moments that shape an NFL team’s roster during training camp and into the preseason. The show started in 2001 and there have been six seasons so far. The Ravens, Cowboys, Jags, Chiefs and Bengals have all participated (the Cowboys were spotlighted on two separate occasions), and the New York Jets will be featured in the latest installment that airs in September.\r\n\r\nFrom contract disputes to players on the bubble, super star egos and smoking hot wives (<a href=\"http://www.sportressofblogitude.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/october.JPG\" target=\"_blank\">October Gonzalez</a> and <a href=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_yGeA_PC563M/SUfPQW7rerI/AAAAAAAADe4/QPF2AurKafs/s400/Kelli+Croyle.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Kelli Croyle</a> FTW!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> gives fans an inside, albeit semi-staged looked at the inner workings of an NFL organization in the final weeks leading up to the regular season. If you want to see how Marvin Lewis motivates his players (spoiler alert: Fight Back T-Shirts!) or how a third-string fullback battles for a roster spot (who doesn’t love <a href=\"http://arrowheadaddict.com/files/2007/08/boomer2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Boomer Grigsby</a>!) or how Jerry Jones runs a meeting (classic!), <em>Hard Knocks</em> delivers.\r\n\r\nMANjr wants you to get all caught up on the Hard Knocks action. Unfortunately, last season isn’t on Hulu yet so you can’t hear Marvin Lewis scream “Eleven together! Fiiight baaack!” But at least you can pound through the first five seasons in one place. Enjoy!\r\n<h2>Season 1 – The Baltimore Ravens (2001)</h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\"

As soon as you walk in, you know you\'re in for a different theater experience. The place is setup like a regular bar -- McSwiggins -- complete with bartenders serving drinks and what looked to be some drunks lounging on bar stools. Tables and chairs were set up facing the bar and people were just hanging out, waiting for the show to start.\r\n\r\nAs I stood at the bar, ordered some Scotch and waited for a seat, an old chatty dude in a Hawaiian shirt asked me if I knew what this thing was all about. He said he knew the bartender and he could get me hooked up. I smiled, told him I didn\'t know much about what to expect and said no thank you to his drink offer.\r\n\r\nOnce everyone took their seats, the play started unfolding. The cocktail waitress at the bar continued to serve drinks throughout the show, but the bartender who served me my Scotch was actually Steve Sears, the actor who plays the Bartender and the old drunk guy was already-in-character Bruce Schroffel, who plays Earl, the old timer, loud-mouth regular drunk that you see in every bar.\r\n\r\nAs the show started, I thought this whole setup was pretty cool. Rather than being detached from the stage action. the audience felt like they were actual participants in the play. Cute girls in the front would get a surprise hand on the shoulder from Earl. Everyone was instructed to salute and drink whenever any character mentioned the word McSwiggins. At one point the cast members even passed out shots to everyone in attendance. A lively, interactive time was had by all.\r\n\r\nThe whole play was written as an outrageous, farcical comedy. Regulars at a bar lament over the fact that their beloved drinking hole is going to be shut down. Drunk talk ensues. Tobias Jelinek, who played Joe, was a total scene stealer. I also really liked the Mayor, played by Kim Estes. The entire cast pulled it all off, let everyone in on the action and made sure that everyone had a good time. You can\'t really ask for more.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nDrunk Talk was produced/directed by Thomas Blake, the LA and SF  co-producer/director of the wildly popular “Point Break  Live!” and written by Lance Whinery, who writes for the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement and acted in the play as well. I had a chance to ask Lance (who also played Jerry in the play) some questions about the show and other fun stuff:\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I read that Drunk Talk was entirely conceived at a bar. Are the characters based on friends of yours or are they composite sketches of typical people you’d find at a bar?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: More of the latter.  It seems that there\'s always that couple that constantly is on the rocks, the old timer vet, the guy chasing his dreams, the drunk flirt, etc...  I definitely knew the types and then they kind wrote themselves -- though certainly a few jokes were based on actual conversations I\'ve had along the way.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1105\" title=\"McSwiggins\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/McSwiggins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: The coolest thing about the atmosphere at McSwiggins is that the audience feels like they’re actually involved in the play. What was your inspiration for breaking down the audience wall and letting audience members in on the action?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: A lot of that came from Thomas Blake, the director.  He was really interested in doing something in that environment.  My first conception of the play was not that, more of just these ten people in an empty dive bar.  But after talking about it with him, we both got excited about really opening it up, making you feel that you yourself watching are practically a character.  Plus, it just seemed to provide a lot of different laughs that you could only get in that format. And, much like in a real bar, since you never know what could happen when seventy or eighty other people join you in the room, each show is a little different with how our actors deal with it.  People enjoy the idea that they aren\'t going to see a play, they\'re going to a bar where a play happens to break out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What the hell was in that shot you guys passed out to everyone? My guess is Tequila and Kool-Aid.\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: That\'s as good a guess as any.  I think it\'s some variation of a Sex on the Beach but I could be wrong.  I wouldn\'t expect to see them featured on any fine dining programs, but McSwiggin\'s is a dive bar so I guess they fit.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: You wrote the play and you perform in it as well. What do you prefer, acting or writing?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: Acting is a ton of fun, especially when you get to work with so many talented and funny performers, but writing has been my main pursuit.  And since I often tend to write characters that come from my own voice, it\'s easier for me to fall into those roles.  I probably would get a bigger thrill, however, from someone who said they loved my writing than loved my acting.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How long did it take you to write Drunk Talk?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: I wrote the first draft probably in about a month.  Honestly, back in that bar when I was first discussing it, it was going to be a drama.  Then I came up with the ending and thought that would really be funny and realized this would play much better as a goofy comedy.  So I came up with the characters and kind of wrote it backwards.  But even now, I\'ll tinker with jokes or try something different one night to see if it gets a better response, and of course the improv moments that change every night, so in a way, the writing is never quite done.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What’s it like writing for a show like Rules of Engagement? How do you generate ideas and how is writing for a sitcom different than writing a play?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: TV shows are a great place to work, it\'s basically about ten writers sitting around a table cracking jokes and somewhere in the middle of the day, someone brings you lunch.  Many stories are based on an actual event (usually less funny) from somebody\'s life, and then the room will try to figure out how that could be funny with our characters.  All the writing is filtered through the head writer/Executive Producer of the show and it is all very collaborative.  The main difference is there I am at the bottom of the totem pole, trying to squeeze in a joke or two while the play is my baby where I get to be in charge.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What are you working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: Rules is my Monday through Friday job and I will be doing another script for them this season.  And Drunk Talk is my Sundays.  My other job is at various bars around the city doing, uh... research...\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Do you still do stand-up?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: I don\'t do a ton of stand-up anymore, but every now and then I will pop up and do a set somewhere.  The cool thing about stand-up is you can write something and be up on stage that night seeing if anyone thinks it\'s funny.  Though it is harder to blame someone else if it all blows up in my face.\r\n\r\nDrunk Talk is extending it\'s run, so if you\'re in LA, go see it.

I thought about it for awhile, became fairly indignant in my thought, then moved on to sadness, confusion and ultimately this funky feeling of joy mixed with sorrow.\r\n\r\nI love baseball. I never much cared for George Steinbrenner. I don\'t think he cared one iota about baseball. I think he cared about business. No, I didn\'t know the man, I knew his reputation, as did so many others. Had I ever met him, I\'m sure I would have adored him. I\'m a weird like that.\r\n\r\nWith his passing at the age of 80 due to complications from a heart attack as well as other ailing bodily functions, I could only feel sad for his family, for the fine athletes who played for him, for the managers who fought with and still somehow loved him and the Yankees fan base who saw a \"win at all costs\" empire constructed under his tenure.\r\n\r\nFor the rest of the baseball world, there\'s a part of me that thinks, \"It\'s probably best that he went before the cap came--that would have really killed the guy.\" And make no mistake Yankee fans. It\'s a\'comin\'. If the next commish doesn\'t push for it off the bat, I\'ll lead the charge for his removal.\r\n\r\nSadly, all I can think of when I think of The Boss: A monopolizer who didn\'t really look beyond his own interests to consider what would be best for the game of baseball. We all know people like that in \"our own lives,\" and we don\'t like them. Then they die, and we feel bad for not liking them. It begs the question: What is the most lasting memory of George Steinbrenner\'s legacy?\r\n\r\nI\'m sure Steinbrenner will eventually be remembered as the legendary Yankees owner who took the franchise from worst to first, but you just have to think that within that conversation, there will always be at least one voice which will sound off with <a href=\"http://wapedia.mobi/en/Don_Mattingly?t=4\" target=\"_blank\">a completely opposing opinion</a>.\r\n\r\nHis legacy is bittersweet--and there\'s no need to sugarcoat it.','The Boss: The Passing of a Bittersweet Baseball Era','','inherit','open','open','','964-revision-5','','','2010-07-13 15:16:24','2010-07-13 22:16:24','',964,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/964-revision-5/',0,'revision','',0),(1122,2,'2010-07-22 12:05:22','2010-07-22 19:05:22','<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1103\" title=\"Drunk Talk\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Drunk-Talk.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"350\" />I recently saw the play <a href=\"www.drunktalktheshow.com\" target=\"_blank\">Drunk Talk</a> at the Dragonfly in Hollywood, and I got to say, it was pretty clever stuff. As soon as you walk in, you know you\'re in for a different theater experience. The place is setup like a regular bar -- McSwiggins -- complete with bartenders serving drinks and what looked to be some drunks lounging on bar stools. Tables and chairs were set up facing the bar and people were just hanging out, waiting for the show to start.\r\n\r\nAs I stood at the bar, ordered some Scotch and waited for a seat, an old chatty dude in a Hawaiian shirt asked me if I knew what this thing was all about. He said he knew the bartender and he could get me hooked up. I smiled, told him I didn\'t know much about what to expect and said no thank you to his drink offer.\r\n\r\nOnce everyone took their seats, the play started unfolding. The cocktail waitress at the bar continued to serve drinks throughout the show, but the bartender who served me my Scotch was actually Steve Sears, the actor who plays the Bartender and the old drunk guy was already-in-character Bruce Schroffel, who plays Earl, the old timer, loud-mouth regular drunk that you see in every bar.\r\n\r\nAs the show started, I thought this whole setup was pretty cool. Rather than being detached from the stage action. the audience felt like they were actual participants in the play. Cute girls in the front would get a surprise hand on the shoulder from Earl. Everyone was instructed to salute and drink whenever any character mentioned the word McSwiggins. At one point the cast members even passed out shots to everyone in attendance. A lively, interactive time was had by all.\r\n\r\nThe whole play was written as an outrageous, farcical comedy. Regulars at a bar lament over the fact that their beloved drinking hole is going to be shut down. Drunk talk ensues. Tobias Jelinek, who played Joe, was a total scene stealer. I also really liked the Mayor, played by Kim Estes. The entire cast pulled it all off, let everyone in on the action and made sure that everyone had a good time. You can\'t really ask for more.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nDrunk Talk was produced/directed by Thomas Blake, the LA and SF  co-producer/director of the wildly popular “Point Break  Live!” and written by Lance Whinery, who writes for the CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement and acted in the play as well. I had a chance to ask Lance (who also played Jerry in the play) some questions about the show and other fun stuff:\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I read that Drunk Talk was entirely conceived at a bar. Are the characters based on friends of yours or are they composite sketches of typical people you’d find at a bar?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: More of the latter.  It seems that there\'s always that couple that constantly is on the rocks, the old timer vet, the guy chasing his dreams, the drunk flirt, etc...  I definitely knew the types and then they kind wrote themselves -- though certainly a few jokes were based on actual conversations I\'ve had along the way.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1105\" title=\"McSwiggins\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/McSwiggins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" />\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: The coolest thing about the atmosphere at McSwiggins is that the audience feels like they’re actually involved in the play. What was your inspiration for breaking down the audience wall and letting audience members in on the action?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: A lot of that came from Thomas Blake, the director.  He was really interested in doing something in that environment.  My first conception of the play was not that, more of just these ten people in an empty dive bar.  But after talking about it with him, we both got excited about really opening it up, making you feel that you yourself watching are practically a character.  Plus, it just seemed to provide a lot of different laughs that you could only get in that format. And, much like in a real bar, since you never know what could happen when seventy or eighty other people join you in the room, each show is a little different with how our actors deal with it.  People enjoy the idea that they aren\'t going to see a play, they\'re going to a bar where a play happens to break out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What the hell was in that shot you guys passed out to everyone? My guess is Tequila and Kool-Aid.\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: That\'s as good a guess as any.  I think it\'s some variation of a Sex on the Beach but I could be wrong.  I wouldn\'t expect to see them featured on any fine dining programs, but McSwiggin\'s is a dive bar so I guess they fit.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: You wrote the play and you perform in it as well. What do you prefer, acting or writing?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: Acting is a ton of fun, especially when you get to work with so many talented and funny performers, but writing has been my main pursuit.  And since I often tend to write characters that come from my own voice, it\'s easier for me to fall into those roles.  I probably would get a bigger thrill, however, from someone who said they loved my writing than loved my acting.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How long did it take you to write Drunk Talk?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: I wrote the first draft probably in about a month.  Honestly, back in that bar when I was first discussing it, it was going to be a drama.  Then I came up with the ending and thought that would really be funny and realized this would play much better as a goofy comedy.  So I came up with the characters and kind of wrote it backwards.  But even now, I\'ll tinker with jokes or try something different one night to see if it gets a better response, and of course the improv moments that change every night, so in a way, the writing is never quite done.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What’s it like writing for a show like Rules of Engagement? How do you generate ideas and how is writing for a sitcom different than writing a play?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: TV shows are a great place to work, it\'s basically about ten writers sitting around a table cracking jokes and somewhere in the middle of the day, someone brings you lunch.  Many stories are based on an actual event (usually less funny) from somebody\'s life, and then the room will try to figure out how that could be funny with our characters.  All the writing is filtered through the head writer/Executive Producer of the show and it is all very collaborative.  The main difference is there I am at the bottom of the totem pole, trying to squeeze in a joke or two while the play is my baby where I get to be in charge.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What are you working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: Rules is my Monday through Friday job and I will be doing another script for them this season.  And Drunk Talk is my Sundays.  My other job is at various bars around the city doing, uh... research...\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Do you still do stand-up?\r\n\r\n<strong>LW</strong>: I don\'t do a ton of stand-up anymore, but every now and then I will pop up and do a set somewhere.  The cool thing about stand-up is you can write something and be up on stage that night seeing if anyone thinks it\'s funny.  Though it is harder to blame someone else if it all blows up in my face.\r\n\r\nDrunk Talk is extending it\'s run, so if you\'re in LA, go see it.

What about this guy, what about that guy, better change up the list version, add another modifier, etc. Nightmares, I tell you. So -- here was my list of solutions: narrow it down to the modern era. Like that\'s gonna\' help much at all. Oh well. Second, don\'t make it about hitting or pitching or Gold Gloves or All Star nominations, etc. Make it about clutch players, the whole diamond over. Still, this is by no means a small feat.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1132\" title=\"yankeefront36\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/yankeefront36.jpg\" alt=\"Yankee Stadium\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />Here\'s my list of a few top Yankees, all playing in the modern era, all doing what they do to contribute in the clutch moments of the game, the season, the Series. That means biggest saves of all time. That means multiple home runs in the post season. That means home run records and super high RBI production. That means bottom of the ninth walk off hits like we Yankees fans have come to depend on. So here goes; Top 5 Clutch Yankees.\r\n\r\n5) <strong>Reggie Jackson</strong>\r\nThe ego and brazen nature of the icon who is known as Reggie Jackson was not always a Yankee, no. We know this. And yet, you\'d be hard pressed to try not including him in a list of this nature. Flash back: 1977 is the year. It\'s October, a month for which this man was ultimately nicknamed. And why? Well, figure it out. If it\'s hard enough to hit a tiny little ball coming at you from close range at nearly 100mph, then try to up the ante and do it when the entire title is on the line. That\'s what he\'s known for. Three home runs in a single game of the World Series? Notches in the belt also include 5 World Series titles, inclusive career-wise (two Yankees in that list), fourteen All Star game appearances and a spot at lucky number 13 on the all-time home run leader list, with 563 homers.\r\n\r\n4) <strong>Mariano Rivera</strong>\r\nDon\'t argue. Like a dog, I will tell you to go and lay down in your bed if you choose to argue. This is the single greatest closer in all of baseball, perhaps in all of the history of the game of baseball. Sure, they rack up stats that count to some people, saves, strikeouts, memories. Whatever. You want offense. You want twenty-plus wins a season. That\'s what you want to see to make a Top 5 Yankees list? Well this is clutch play, and there is perhaps no one of greater value to a team than their closer. And this is the Yankees closer for more than a decade. And astronaut alien grizzly bears using the state of Rhode Island as a baseball bat can\'t hit the guy, so go lay down. Four World Series and the lowest ERA in the post season, ever.\r\n\r\n3) <strong>Whitey Ford</strong>\r\nThis is weird, but running down the statistics I don\'t see how to not include the guy. Here\'s his rap sheet, and you can argue this one amongst yourselves or in the comments of the post: Hall of Fame Inductee 1974, full career with Yanks, six World Series under the belt, Cy Young in \'61, World Series MVP in \'61, Babe Ruth Award in \'61, retired jersey, ten All Star game appearances.\r\n\r\n2) <strong>Mickey Mantle</strong>\r\nSome of the longest home runs ever hit in the history of the game. Seriously. All Star game appearances in nearly every one of his eighteen total seasons. Seven World Series titles and eighteen total homers in those appearances. Three MVP awards in the American League, and a Triple Crown distinction as well. Retired jersey. Major League Baseball All Century Team, people. Check it.\r\n\r\n1) <strong>Joe DiMaggio</strong>\r\nEntire career played as a Yankee, which gets big points. Any contribution made during his career, was laced up with pinstripes. Multiple MVP awards for the American League. But that doesn\'t do any justice to the history making efforts of DiMaggio. Maybe you\'re reading this and you won\'t know what The Streak is. Hell, I\'m too young too, but I know. You try doing anything 56 times in a row, in any organized sport. And try doing it with the thing being thrown at you. Unbroken record, people. There are few sports feats in existence that have that as a caveat. 56 games in a row with a hit. Yikes.\r\n\r\n(Image Via: <a href=\"http://onthebuzzer.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/ode-to-yankee-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">On the Buzzer</a>)','Top 5 Clutch New York Yankees of the Modern Era','There is no way to narrow a list of this sort down to something everyone can agree on.

What the heck are you supposed to do? It\'s the stuff of nightmares, to be honest. What about this guy, what about that guy, better change up the list version, add another modifier, etc. Nightmares, I tell you. So -- here was my list of solutions: narrow it down to the modern era. How else are you supposed to sleep at night not including Babe Ruth and Joe Dimaggio on just about any list of top Yankees? Second, don\'t make it about hitting or pitching or Gold Gloves or All Star nominations, etc. Make it about clutch players, the whole diamond over. Still, this is by no means a small feat.\n\nHere\'s my take, with tons of self-doubt don\'t worry, on a list of a few top Yankees, all playing in the modern era, all doing what they do to contribute in the clutch moments of the game, the season, the Series. That means, biggest saves of all time. That means, multiple home runs in the post season. That means, home run records and super high RBI production. That means, bottom of the ninth walk off hits like we Yankees fans have come to depend on. So here goes; Top 5 Clutch Yankees.\n\n4) <strong>Reggie Jackson</strong>\nThe ego and brazen nature of the icon who is known as Reggie Jackson was not always a Yankee, no. We know this. And yet, you\'d be hard pressed to try not including him in a list of this nature. Flash back: 1977 is the year. It\'s October, a month for which this man was ultimately nicknamed. And why? Well, figure it out. If it\'s hard enough to hit a tiny little ball coming at you from close range at nearly 100mph, then try to up the ante and do it when the entire title is on the line. That\'s what he\'s known for. Three home runs in a single game of the World Series? Notches in the belt also include 5 World Series titles, inclusive career-wise (two Yankees in that list), fourteen All Star game appearances and a spot at lucky number 13 on the all-time home run leader list, with 563 homers.\n\n2) <strong>Mariano Rivera</strong>\nDon\'t argue. Like a dog, I will tell you to go and lay down in your bed if you choose to argue. This is the single greatest closer in all of baseball, perhaps in all of the history of the game of baseball. Sure, they rack up stats that count to some people, saves, strike outs, memories. Whatever. You want offense. You want twenty-plus wins a season. That\'s what you want to see to make a Top 5 Yankees list? Well this is clutch play, and there is perhaps no one of greater value to a team than their closer. And this is the Yankees closer for more than a decade. And astronaut alien grizzly bears using the state of Rhode Island as a baseball bat can hit the guy, so go lay down.\nHis clutch pitching down the stretch has been an instrumental part of all 4 of the Yankees\' recent World Series titles, as shown by his miniscule .77 career ERA in the post-season (the lowest in history). He has an ALCS and World Series MVP title (only reliever to accomplish this), and has appeared in 8 All Star Games.\n\n\n(Image Via: )','Top 5 Clutch New York Yankees of the Modern Era','There is no way to narrow a list of this sort down to something everyone can agree on.

That means, biggest saves of all time. That means, multiple home runs in the post season. That means, home run records and super high RBI production. That means, bottom of the ninth walk off hits like we Yankees fans have come to depend on. So here goes; Top 5 Clutch Yankees.\r\n\r\n5) <strong>Reggie Jackson</strong>\r\nThe ego and brazen nature of the icon who is known as Reggie Jackson was not always a Yankee, no. We know this. And yet, you\'d be hard pressed to try not including him in a list of this nature. Flash back: 1977 is the year. It\'s October, a month for which this man was ultimately nicknamed. And why? Well, figure it out. If it\'s hard enough to hit a tiny little ball coming at you from close range at nearly 100mph, then try to up the ante and do it when the entire title is on the line. That\'s what he\'s known for. Three home runs in a single game of the World Series? Notches in the belt also include 5 World Series titles, inclusive career-wise (two Yankees in that list), fourteen All Star game appearances and a spot at lucky number 13 on the all-time home run leader list, with 563 homers.<!--more-->\r\n\r\n4) <strong>Mariano Rivera</strong>\r\nDon\'t argue. Like a dog, I will tell you to go and lay down in your bed if you choose to argue. This is the single greatest closer in all of baseball, perhaps in all of the history of the game of baseball. Sure, they rack up stats that count to some people, saves, strike outs, memories. Whatever. You want offense. You want twenty-plus wins a season. That\'s what you want to see to make a Top 5 Yankees list? Well this is clutch play, and there is perhaps no one of greater value to a team than their closer. And this is the Yankees closer for more than a decade. And astronaut alien grizzly bears using the state of Rhode Island as a baseball bat can hit the guy, so go lay down. Four World Series and the lowest ERA in the post season, ever.\r\n\r\n3) <strong>Whitey Ford</strong>\r\nThis is weird, but running down the statistics I don\'t see how to not include the guy. Here\'s his rap sheet, and you can argue this one amongst yourselves or in the comments of the post: Hall of Fame Inductee 1974, full career with Yanks, six World Series under the belt, Cy Young in \'61, World Series MVP in \'61, Babe Ruth Award in \'61, retired jersey, ten All Star game appearances.\r\n\r\n2) <strong>Mickey Mantle</strong>\r\nSome of the longest home runs ever hit in the history of the game. Seriously. All Star game appearances in nearly every one of his eighteen total seasons. Seven World Series titles and eighteen total homers in those appearances. Three MVP awards in the American League, and a Triple Crown distinction as well. Retired jersey. Major League Baseball All Century Team, people. Check it.\r\n\r\n1) <strong>Joe DiMaggio</strong>\r\nEntire career played as a Yankee, which gets big points. Any contribution made during his career, was laced up with pinstripes. Multiple MVP awards for the American League. But that doesn\'t do any justice to the history making efforts of DiMaggio. Maybe you\'re reading this and you won\'t know what The Streak is. Hell, I\'m too young too but I know. You try doing anything 56 times in a row, in any organized sport. And try doing it with the thing being thrown at you. Unbroken record, people. There are few sports feats in existence that have that as a caveat. 56 games in a row with a hit.

Goldsmith has been acting since the ‘70s. He’s been on Dallas, MacGuyver, Magnum P.I., Knight Rider, T.J. Hooker, the A-Team, Dynasty, CHiPs and Charlie’s Angels. You probably know him best as The Most Interesting Man in the World, the ultra-fascinating, smooth-talking spokesman for Dos Equis.\r\n\r\nI had the opportunity to speak with Jonathan, and as it turns out, the actor behind The Most Interesting Man in the World is a pretty interesting guy himself. He’s articulate, well-read and he lives on a boat. He’s traveled the world, supported many causes and he’s a damn good story-teller.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Is there a burden for being recognized as the most interesting man in the world?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Is it a burden? No. It’s an absolute joy for me. I’ve had a very good career for over 40 years. And the attention that I’m getting, I absolutely love. It’s wonderful. It’s kind of non-stop and I really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice. So do people stop you on the street all the time and say things like, “stay thirsty?”\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s most frequent thing I get is, “stay thirsty” and a lot of people say, “Please, please just leave this message on my voicemail” or “talk to my fiancé” or whatever, but and it’s nice that people remember more of the lines than I do and some of them are even from the first year. We just entered the fourth year of the campaign so that’s very flattering and I love that, of course. It makes people smile.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I read that the inspiration behind your character came from an old friend, Fernando Llamas, the father of Lorenzo Llamas.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s correct.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What is it about your old friend that you channel when you play The Most Interesting Man in the World?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I just he was one the most charming raconteurs that I’ve ever met. A real man’s man. He was an athlete. He was an incredible swordsman and charming. He could tell the dirtiest jokes and it was never vulgar. He was, I guess, the quintessential gentleman, and man’s man and he was just a delight to be around. I live on a sailboat and he was one of my sailing buddies. We had a production company together at one time and when he passed on I scattered his ashes off my boat.\r\n\r\n<strong><!--more-->CS</strong>: Oh, that’s, that’s a nice way to go out\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well listen, we all have to go Chris, you know?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Yeah, I mean that’s what I did with my grandparents, too. I think it’s a bit more, I don’t know… it’s a bit better than having people come visit a headstone. That kinda thing.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG: </strong>Aw, Jesus, I think so too. I’m on my way tomorrow to Vermont trying to buy a farm up there. My father was a fly fisherman, which is the thing that I most enjoy, and I scattered his ashes on a little stream up there and now I’m going to hopefully purchase a second home not far from that spot. I think that’s a nice thing to remember somebody by. Better than a headstone.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what’s it like living on a boat?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: It’s wonderful. It’s kind of like triage. You only have those things that are very special and poignant to you. Things that are part of, you know, cherished heirlooms perhaps. I actually have my grandmother’s 100 year old silver Tiffany silverware. And I have another aunt who was awarded a woman of the year award by Eleanor Roosevelt. I have a collage of dried flowers that she had and some antique decanters that belonged to an uncle. Things that are a very personal, you can’t have too much.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I have always had more things than I need. e I have a storage unit with literally thousands of books in it…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, nice.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: …and of course you can’t do that on the boat so you just take those things that are really important that don’t clutter up your life space. Every place I look there’s something beautiful and something important to me.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So how often do you go sailing? How often do you take the boat out?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, you know because we live aboard there’s a lot of stuff that has to be put away, but at least every other week we get out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Where do you go when you when you sail?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well usually it’s just up to Malibu or down the coast towards Long Beach. Then of course we take weekends, and I try to go in the winter when nobody’s there to Catalina.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice!\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah I like the serenity of it. I’m very big on peace and quiet which is one of the other reasons for Vermont. I’m standing talking to you in Tarzana and I think that this kind of heat and traffic and cacophony will shorten one’s life or at least mine and I want to get out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Do you travel a lot for the Dos Equis shoots?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, not necessarily for the Dos Equis shoots, but for things that are related. I mean I’m not limited to just working with Dos Equis. I can’t do anything else involving liquor or beer, but I do other things. I’m on the speaker circuit and you know I travel some doing that and making appearances and things as myself. I can’t appear as The Most Interesting Man because number one they own it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right, right.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s understandable…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what’s the most interesting place that that you’ve traveled to?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Most interesting… I guess it would be in the Caribbean. I had a boat one time that I kept in the Caribbean. I wintered it in Venezuela and then sailed all the way through the Grenadines and through Martinique, Antigua, Guadalupe, and all the little tiny cays in between, and ended up in Turks and Cacos and British Virgin Islands and then back to Miami. That was easily the most interesting trip and I would say that Martinique is especially beautiful.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How long did that a trip like that take?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: About two and half months.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow that’s nice.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yea, it was great.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What’s  a place that you’ve never been to but have always wanted to visit?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I would say probably the Greek Islands and Turkey in the Mediterranean.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Especially for sailing right?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Oh, yes, yes. Absolutely. There’s something about the tranquility and the freedom that one has on a boat. You know, if you want to move, you just move. Take your home with you. It’s really a lovely experience. And someday I’d like to do that. I’d like to cruise even though we have the place in Vermont that’s, you know, a home base, but certainly in the winter time I would like to take the boat cruise. Now initially, while I’m busy -- and I’m very busy right now -- I would keep the boat on the West Coast, because I do other things. There is some print work, a lot of interviews, etcetera, as well as auditioning for some things. I’m waiting to hear about a movie right now, so I’d probably want to go down to Costa Rica. Where I’ve been, it’s beautiful. It’s gorgeous. You been there?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: No, I have friends who talk about the rain forest experiences there. And it’s not too far…\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, their literacy rate is the highest in the world.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: They’ve never had an army – well, I don’t know if they’ve ever had an army – but they don’t have one and haven’t for years. Never had a war. They have a higher infant mortality or lack of infant mortality rate than we do I believe. They have a better school system, their medical care is superb and their life expectancy is considerably more than ours. It’s just a very happy, happy place very hospitable people. That would be one cruise that I’d like to take. Take the boat through the canal and into the Caribbean, keep the farm and be able to grow my vegetables and flowers in the spring. So that’s my long range plan.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you’ve been acting since the seventies, and I know that you’ve done a lot of television work. What is the most interesting shoot or character that you’ve played or television experience that you really remember.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, geez there were so many. I guess I would associate that question or my answer with the people that I worked with. I had the pleasure of working with Henry Fonda. He played a police inspector – it was not a big show or anything – but that was joyous. He was really just a gentleman, a delightful man and very, very gracious as an actor. But I would definitely say that the best experience I ever had as an actor was starring opposite Burt Lancaster.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, wow is right. It was a quite an experience. A Vietnam piece, uh 1977, and it’s kind of a cult picture. It’s called <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077617/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Go Tell the Spartans</em></a>, and it’s about the corruption, the South Vietnamese, Vietnam and our involvement with them. And that was that was spectacular. I had one the central roles, a very challenging one and got wonderful reviews. The whole experience was terrific. You can still get that at Blockbuster.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s definitely something I’ll check out.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, <em>Go Tell the Spartans</em>. It’s terrific little picture, and it was made for less money than a television show.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Less than a million bucks, yup. And all of it was dubbed. We shot it right out by Magic Mountain, so in some of the highly dramatic scenes you can hear the other people yelling on the roller coasters.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s funny.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, but then we all went individually into an empty soundstage. And I had an extremely dramatic scene where I kill myself and I had to do it all by myself on a soundstage.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: It had its challenges…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How do you how do you manufacture that kind of emotion with no one to bounce things off of?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, that’s what comes with the territory. Good actors are able to call upon those scenes inside of themselves -- things that have existed, their dark side, or their demons, their joyous sides. That’s just what actors, good actors do – call upon life’s experience.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Now, I also read that you have you have a pretty strong background in improvising and you work with kids and in prisons teaching improvisation techniques.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yea, one of the things that I’ve done since I’ve been 18, really and that’s quite a long time, is work with abused and handicapped kids. About 30 years ago, I started with an organization that I’m still very involved with called <a href=\"http://www.freearts.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Free Arts for Abused Children</a>. What we do is we bring in arts programs to kids who are either incarcerated or under lock and key protection, sometimes from their own parents, and we provide a non-threatening environment for them to express themselves through acting, or painting, dance, improvisation certainly, and then their therapists sometimes will get good insight that they say can save years of conventional therapy and certainly accelerate the process.\r\n\r\nI’m also involved with an organization called <a href=\"http://stellalinkent.com/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Stella Link Productions</a>. They were doing a picture on the child pornography sex trafficking in Cambodia and Thailand. And something I’m very involved with is one more charity called the <a href=\"http://www.sabre.org/\" target=\"_blank\">S.A.B.R.E. Foundation</a>. We’re trying to do what we can to call attention to one of the most endangered species, the Siberian tiger.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Just a couple more Dos Equis related questions.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Sure, yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: It seems like it would be a lot of fun making these commercial spots. Is that the case?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yes, yes it is. It is a lot of fun, but is also an exorbitant, enormous amount of work. We go over it so many different times and when you shoot a commercial, there are not only the ad agency people there, but there’s also the sponsor. So we’re working with a whole committee of people that see things not always the same, so it’s, you know, it had to be done over and over and over this angle, that angle, this directions, etcetera, etcetera. It’s hard work. And also these are very rigorous, physical things. I’m not 25 years old.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughter)\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Don’t laugh. Don’t chuckle so loud.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: No, no, no. I’m just thinking back to the commercials like I you know like you’re hanging from rocks and, you know, like wading through water this kind of stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, yeah well. I go to the gym every day. Every day but one. Every single day. And in all truth, you know that they use a stunt double for some of the stuff as well, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughter) Yea, of course. Do you get to improvise at all when you are on the set or is it all pretty rigid?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, they usually have it pretty rigid, but in the very beginning I improvised a great deal, and I think it had a lot to do with the creation of the eventual character that came out. I knew that before I got the role, that one would have to be good at improvisation. There were three different times I got called back, each time it was improvisational and they searched all over the country. So about three months was involved. I would like to think that I made some contributions to their terrific ideas.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right. So what do you enjoy most about playing the character? ‘Cause it’s gotta be fun playing being the alpha male masculine guy, you know, all that stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I’ll tell you, what I enjoy the most is that it brings a chuckle to people’s face. It also has a little bit of a message, so I guess one might say it has something to do with leaving a legacy.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s a good point. Everyone wants to feel like they’ve left some sort of mark on the world. Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah. Why not? Like to feel that you’ve maybe made an impression with people, maybe, you know, show a guy how to alpha it up a just little bit, how to feel more comfortable, cooler.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So, what would you say to a person who wants to live a more interesting life?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Become an interested person.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: There you go. That’s a good idea.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Or if not, the people that are not interested become uninteresting. I firmly believe that. Particularly people that don’t read. If you don’t read you have no desire to learn and you’re a bore.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you need that curiosity to generate curiosity about yourself. Yeah, that makes sense.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I think so. If you don’t have curiosity, your friends probably won\'t either. Do you want to be like that or be challenged? Provocative people challenge you to grow. Who do you want to be like? You know, do you want to be like the guy that’s not accomplished anything? Do you sit back in the parade of life and watch as it goes by like a spectator who lives vicariously? Or do you want to actually be a participant in the parade of life. My motto is to celebrate the possibilities. Most people just take up space, accomplish little and leave nothing behind. I don’t want to be like that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Yeah, man. This is this is inspirational stuff, I gotta say Jonathan.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Oh it’s true. I firmly believe it. I believe it with all my heart and soul. And it’s got nothing to do with money. Some the coolest, hippest, most marvelous people that I’ve ever read about or have known have little in the way of material things. It has little to do with money. It has to do with attitude. Don’t be don’t be a bore. Be interested, and you’ll be interesting.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I like it. So you mentioned how you’re an avid reader. Who are some of your favorite authors or what are some of your favorite books?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I’ll just name a few that I just finished reading. One was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Darkside</span>, about the Rendition program. The other one was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Family</span>, about these phony C Street bastards. Uh, forgive me. I, I tend to be rather passionate about politics.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Game Change</span> about the presidential election, as seen through the various separatists camps. And, let me see, I just finished one the other night. Oh one about Jerry Weintraub, the marvelous impresario, it’s called <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">When I Stop Talking, You\'ll Know I\'m Dead</span>. It was a charming book. I read a lot of political stuff. James Michener is an author that I love. I actually did one of his stories I went to the moon in <em>Space</em> years ago. Edgar Allen Poe is certainly one of my favorites. Nathaniel Hawthorne, I like the classics. And I love some of the ancients, you know, the Greeks, Plato, Aristotle. Old and new, and mostly anything by Christopher Hitchens.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice mix.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Anything that’s provocative, that makes you think.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what are you political leanings?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I’m… well, this is where I can get into trouble.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Uh-oh! I don’t want to get you into trouble Jonathan.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: No, let’s just say I believe in civility, responsibility, caring, and a government of the people, by the people, for the people.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I don’t think we’re going to piss off anybody with that. But I like it. It’s  a measured, honest and straight-forward response too.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Okay my friend, well, that\'s how I feel.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: One last question. What was it like doing a show on the “A-Team”?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Uh, I didn’t enjoy it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: No, not much.

What the heck are you supposed to do? It\'s the stuff of nightmares, to be honest. What about this guy, what about that guy, better change up the list version, add another modifier, etc. Nightmares, I tell you. So -- here was my list of solutions: narrow it down to the modern era. Like that\'s gonna\' help much at all. Oh well. Second, don\'t make it about hitting or pitching or Gold Gloves or All Star nominations, etc. Make it about clutch players, the whole diamond over. Still, this is by no means a small feat.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1132\" title=\"yankeefront36\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/yankeefront36.jpg\" alt=\"Yankee Stadium\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />Here\'s my take, with tons of self-doubt don\'t worry, on a list of a few top Yankees, all playing in the modern era, all doing what they do to contribute in the clutch moments of the game, the season, the Series. That means, biggest saves of all time. That means, multiple home runs in the post season. That means, home run records and super high RBI production. That means, bottom of the ninth walk off hits like we Yankees fans have come to depend on. So here goes; Top 5 Clutch Yankees.\r\n\r\n5) <strong>Reggie Jackson</strong>\r\nThe ego and brazen nature of the icon who is known as Reggie Jackson was not always a Yankee, no. We know this. And yet, you\'d be hard pressed to try not including him in a list of this nature. Flash back: 1977 is the year. It\'s October, a month for which this man was ultimately nicknamed. And why? Well, figure it out. If it\'s hard enough to hit a tiny little ball coming at you from close range at nearly 100mph, then try to up the ante and do it when the entire title is on the line. That\'s what he\'s known for. Three home runs in a single game of the World Series? Notches in the belt also include 5 World Series titles, inclusive career-wise (two Yankees in that list), fourteen All Star game appearances and a spot at lucky number 13 on the all-time home run leader list, with 563 homers.<!--more-->\r\n\r\n4) <strong>Mariano Rivera</strong>\r\nDon\'t argue. Like a dog, I will tell you to go and lay down in your bed if you choose to argue. This is the single greatest closer in all of baseball, perhaps in all of the history of the game of baseball. Sure, they rack up stats that count to some people, saves, strike outs, memories. Whatever. You want offense. You want twenty-plus wins a season. That\'s what you want to see to make a Top 5 Yankees list? Well this is clutch play, and there is perhaps no one of greater value to a team than their closer. And this is the Yankees closer for more than a decade. And astronaut alien grizzly bears using the state of Rhode Island as a baseball bat can hit the guy, so go lay down. Four World Series and the lowest ERA in the post season, ever.\r\n\r\n3) <strong>Whitey Ford</strong>\r\nThis is weird, but running down the statistics I don\'t see how to not include the guy. Here\'s his rap sheet, and you can argue this one amongst yourselves or in the comments of the post: Hall of Fame Inductee 1974, full career with Yanks, six World Series under the belt, Cy Young in \'61, World Series MVP in \'61, Babe Ruth Award in \'61, retired jersey, ten All Star game appearances.\r\n\r\n2) <strong>Mickey Mantle</strong>\r\nSome of the longest home runs ever hit in the history of the game. Seriously. All Star game appearances in nearly every one of his eighteen total seasons. Seven World Series titles and eighteen total homers in those appearances. Three MVP awards in the American League, and a Triple Crown distinction as well. Retired jersey. Major League Baseball All Century Team, people. Check it.\r\n\r\n1) <strong>Joe DiMaggio</strong>\r\nEntire career played as a Yankee, which gets big points. Any contribution made during his career, was laced up with pinstripes. Multiple MVP awards for the American League. But that doesn\'t do any justice to the history making efforts of DiMaggio. Maybe you\'re reading this and you won\'t know what The Streak is. Hell, I\'m too young too but I know. You try doing anything 56 times in a row, in any organized sport. And try doing it with the thing being thrown at you. Unbroken record, people. There are few sports feats in existence that have that as a caveat. 56 games in a row with a hit. Yikes.\r\n\r\n(Image Via: <a href=\"http://onthebuzzer.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/ode-to-yankee-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">On the Buzzer</a>)','Top 5 Clutch New York Yankees of the Modern Era','There is no way to narrow a list of this sort down to something everyone can agree on.

Notches in the belt also include 5 World Series titles, inclusive career-wise (two Yankees in that list), fourteen All Star game appearances and a spot at lucky number 13 on the all-time home run leader list, with 563 homers.\r\n\r\n4) <strong>Mariano Rivera</strong>\r\nDon\'t argue. Like a dog, I will tell you to go and lay down in your bed if you choose to argue. This is the single greatest closer in all of baseball, perhaps in all of the history of the game of baseball. Sure, they rack up stats that count to some people, saves, strikeouts, memories. Whatever. You want offense. You want twenty-plus wins a season. That\'s what you want to see to make a Top 5 Yankees list? Well this is clutch play, and there is perhaps no one of greater value to a team than their closer. And this is the Yankees closer for more than a decade. And astronaut alien grizzly bears using the state of Rhode Island as a baseball bat can\'t hit the guy, so go lay down. Four World Series and the lowest ERA in the post season, ever.\r\n\r\n3) <strong>Whitey Ford</strong>\r\nThis is weird, but running down the statistics I don\'t see how to not include the guy. Here\'s his rap sheet, and you can argue this one amongst yourselves or in the comments of the post: Hall of Fame Inductee 1974, full career with Yanks, six World Series under the belt, Cy Young in \'61, World Series MVP in \'61, Babe Ruth Award in \'61, retired jersey, ten All Star game appearances.\r\n\r\n2) <strong>Mickey Mantle</strong>\r\nSome of the longest home runs ever hit in the history of the game. Seriously. All Star game appearances in nearly every one of his eighteen total seasons. Seven World Series titles and eighteen total homers in those appearances. Three MVP awards in the American League, and a Triple Crown distinction as well. Retired jersey. Major League Baseball All Century Team, people. Check it.\r\n\r\n1) <strong>Joe DiMaggio</strong>\r\nEntire career played as a Yankee, which gets big points. Any contribution made during his career, was laced up with pinstripes. Multiple MVP awards for the American League. But that doesn\'t do any justice to the history making efforts of DiMaggio. Maybe you\'re reading this and you won\'t know what The Streak is. Hell, I\'m too young too, but I know. You try doing anything 56 times in a row, in any organized sport. And try doing it with the thing being thrown at you. Unbroken record, people. There are few sports feats in existence that have that as a caveat. 56 games in a row with a hit. Yikes.\r\n\r\n(Image Via: <a href=\"http://onthebuzzer.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/ode-to-yankee-stadium/\" target=\"_blank\">On the Buzzer</a>)','Top 5 Clutch New York Yankees of the Modern Era','There is no way to narrow a list of this sort down to something everyone can agree on.

A five-time AVN Award winner, Stormy\'s been steaming up the industry for over a decade. Not just a super-starlet, Stormy has written and directed a few adult films as well. She\'s enjoyed quite a bit of crossover success, and in 2010, she even considered running for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Articulate and approachable, this beauty from Baton Rouge, Louisiana can do it all.\r\n\r\nStormy\'s latest project is the new film <a href=\"http://www.findingblissthemovie.com/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Finding Bliss</em></a>, a romantic comedy that examines the adult film industry through the eyes of an eager film school grad (played by Leelee Sobieski), who gets to Hollywood with high hopes and ends up editing porn to get by.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-9 alignright\" title=\"stormy daniels-1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/stormy-daniels-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" />\r\n\r\nCS: So you’ve done a lot of crossover work. You were in the <em>40-Year-Old Virgin</em>, <em>Knocked Up</em>, <em>Party Down</em>, the FX series <em>Dirt</em> and now this upcoming film <em>Finding Bliss</em>. Do you see yourself doing more mainstream Hollywood work in the future?\r\n\r\nSD: I would love to, but it is not something that I plan to seek out. Those opportunities were amazing and I am so thankful for them since I learned a lot and met great people, but I am not under the misconception that it is possible for an adult actress to completely crossover.\r\n\r\nCS: Do you have any plans to retire from the adult film industry or focus more on writing and directing?\r\n\r\nSD: Of course! Gravity is gonna take effect any day now and I don\'t want my naked ass on HD when it happens.\r\n\r\nCS: How did you first come in contact with Julie Davis, the writer and director of <em>Finding Bliss</em>?\r\n\r\nSD: I actually had never met Julie before my first day on <em>Finding Bliss</em>. She or one of her producers contacted Wicked Pictures and requested me.\r\n\r\nCS: How did the set atmosphere of <em>Finding Bliss</em> compare to the set of a film like <em>Space Nuts</em>?\r\n\r\nSD: They were pretty much the same. Wicked Pictures produces the highest quality adult movies and we use all the same resources and crew that a mainstream set implements.... we just do it with a little less clothing.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nCS: What first attracted you to the adult film industry?\r\n\r\nSD: I started as a fan so when I had the opportunity to visit a set, I jumped at the opportunity. I ended up being an extra in the film that day and the director introduced me to the owner of the company.  When they offered me a contract, I didn\'t hesitate for a moment.\r\n\r\nCS: What’s the hottest scene you’ve ever shot?\r\n\r\nSD: I would say my scene with Manuel Ferrara in \"Forbidden\" and my scene with Brendon Miller in \"Sex Therapy\".\r\n\r\nCS: What young starlet do you see as an up-and-coming force in the adult film industry?\r\n\r\nSD: Tori Black is taking the industry by storm right now. I recently directed her for my movie \"Whatever it Takes\" and the camera loves her! But she isn\'t just beautiful, she is professional and smart. That is what gives someone real staying power. Pretty girls come and go.\r\n\r\nCS: You announced in April that you would not be running for the United States Senate. Would you consider running again in the future? How was that whole experience?\r\n\r\nSD: It was eye-opening and a bit depressing, honestly. The system is just a mess, and people are so disheartened. The average person feels like they don\'t have a voice. It was my goal to give them one... and then I discovered how expensive it is to campaign. An elected official is supposed to represent the majority, but no average person could ever afford to run. I believe this keeps the best people for the job from even attempting it. I have no clue if I\'d ever try it again... but never say never.\r\n\r\nCS: What’s up with you running as a Republican?\r\n\r\nSD: I tend to swing both ways.... but most of my views leaned toward Republican.\r\n\r\nCS: What are you working on now?\r\n\r\nSD: I have been doing quite a bit of directing over the last couple of months so I\'m doing lots of editing right now. I am also focusing a lot of energy on my new site: StormyDaniels.com\r\n\r\nMake sure you check Stormy in the new film <em>Finding Bliss</em>, which opened in New York this weekend and in LA on June 11.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10\" title=\"Stormy Daniels - Finding Bliss\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Stormy-Daniels-Finding-Bliss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" />','Interview with Stormy Daniels ','Stormy Daniels talks about the film Finding Bliss, her adult film career and what it\'s like to run for a high-profile political office in America.

They\'re packed with real action and genuine inspiration. They\'re filled with raw emotions and extended montages. Football movies can change your life. They can teach you about love, teach you about success and they can even teach you a thing or two about yourself. Here are the top 25 football movies of all time, in order of awesomeness:\r\n<h2><strong>25. The Blind Side</strong></h2>\r\nTo be honest, this movie sucked. Yea, I said it. The film portrayed Michael Oher as a jumbo moron whose super-sweet, inner-city innocence was matched only by his inability to comprehend the purpose of blocking. The whole thing just felt so exploitative on too many levels. But hey, Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for that accent, and that should count for something.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/i1hG_mjQojw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>24. Heaven Can Wait</strong></h2>\r\nIt’s hard for this generation to remember what a badass Warren Beatty used to be (it’s also hard to remember that the Rams once hailed from Los Angeles). This movie has to be one of Kurt Warner’s favorites – it’s got the Rams, the romance, an injured QB, a dude who uses his millions to do the right things and lots of angels and heaven and other Christian stuff.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/o4ZVb_l5zDc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>23. Radio</strong></h2>\r\nYea, Radio made the list. But why not, right? Ed Harris is a coach who really cares about football and making a difference. Cuba Gooding Jr. is a special person who loves listening to his radio and overcoming adversity. Spoiler alert: Ed Harris retires from coaching in the end, thus showing he cares more about making a difference than he does about football.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Gca8-s097jA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>22. Lucas</strong></h2>\r\nLucas is Corey Haim’s hit flick about geekiness, romance and how it all ties together with football. Haim is the weakling who can’t defend himself. Charlie Sheen is the standup captain of the football team who protects Haim. Everything changes when new girl Kerri Green arrives at school and the nerd and the jock battle for her affections.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/LgR0tF1XXRQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>21. Jerry Maguire</strong></h2>\r\nThis movie seems kinda dated now. Although it’s starting to be okay to like Tom Cruise movies again, it’s hard to think back to a time when Renee Zellweger was attractive and Drew Beldose was the biggest thing in the NFL. Gushy love story and annoying spiky-haired kid aside, this film is still a worthy addition to the list.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/onRbNsxRBVQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>20. The Waterboy</strong></h2>\r\nMay not have much rewatchability, but this movie served its purpose. It was the gridiron Happy Gilmore, and it accomplished what it set out to do. Before The Blind Side melted people’s hearts, this film was the highest grossing sports movie of all time. Seriously.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/uGPYYnA6UD8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong><!--more-->19. Johnny Be Good</strong></h2>\r\nThis 80s classic stars AMH (Anthony Michael Hall), RDJ (Robert Downey Jr), a very young Uma Thurman and that hall monitor guy from the Breakfast Club. AMH is Johnny Walker, the most highly coveted high school football player in the country. When his high school playing days are over, Walker has to decide whether we wants to pursue his dream or give up everything to go to some crappy local college to be with his chick.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wmeUpG2hXBE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/wmeUpG2hXBE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>18. Brian’s Song</strong></h2>\r\nThis is the kinda film you watch when you need a good cry, but you just can’t stand to see Demi Moore with that ridiculous haircut in Ghost. Billy Dee plays Gale Sayers and James Caan is Brian Piccolo. The two guys get along swimmingly until Piccolo finds out he’s dying, and it’s just one big, true-story downer from there.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Lnt-BqOjaTQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>17. Friday Night Lights</strong></h2>\r\nIt\'s not quite as good as Varsity Blues and not as memorable as Remember the Titans, but Friday Night Lights (or as it’s known in Germany, <a href=\"http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_Night_Lights_%E2%80%93_Touchdown_am_Freitag\" target=\"_blank\">Touchdown am Freitag</a>) is a serviceable teenage football flick that makes use of Billy Bob Thornton and a bunch of teenage actors I can’t remember to showcase the local obsession/expectations of a Texas High School football team in the late 80s.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Qzyp4qOW0F0&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>16. Gridiron Gang</strong></h2>\r\nThe Rock takes a bunch of prison punks and uses football to teach them about self-respect and responsibility. True story premise makes the stale formula a bit more inspiring.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/fToHmc4sHjk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/fToHmc4sHjk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>15. The Longest Yard</strong></h2>\r\nYea, I know they made two of ‘em. Maybe they shouldn’t be lumped together, but Burt Reynolds appears heavily in both, so to me they’re like the same movie. The first one doesn’t have Chris Rock or Terry Crews stuffin\' burgers down his pants, so I think the edge goes to the remake. And good gad damn,  Courtney Cox looks way too hot in this movie.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/SpuLoSTcGRs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>14. All the Right Moves</strong></h2>\r\nWe’ve all faced the difficult choice of pursuing our football dreams or working in the local steel mill. Well, Tom Cruise ain’t about to work in no steel mill. So instead, he uses all the right moves to show Coach Craig T. Nelson what’s what.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/eS5MtPXo13k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/eS5MtPXo13k&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>13. We Are Marshall</strong></h2>\r\nSuper-inspirational movie that would have been way better without McConaughey (who – spoiler alert – plays Coach Matthew McConaughey in the film). Still a crazy true story that scores pretty high on the inspirmotional meter.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ocOiIdnlsjw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ocOiIdnlsjw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>12. Invincible</strong></h2>\r\nYea, it’s a Disney movie, but it’s got a Wahlberg brother in it so you know it’s worth watching. Greg Kinear as a young Dick Vermeil was a nice touch, too.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Aux_hRJYED8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Aux_hRJYED8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>11. The Express</strong></h2>\r\nHere’s another Disney movie that’s still worth your time. It’s the story of Ernie Davis, the first African American player to win the Heisman trophy. Dennis Quaid plays Syracuse coach Ben Schwartzwalder, and Saul Rubinek is good as Art Modell. Kind of ridiculous to think that the Cleveland Browns could’ve had Ernie Davis and Jim Brown in the same backfield...\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/-gdiHS__LyQ&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>10. School Ties</strong></h2>\r\nAntisemitism is best served… on a football field!

The Last Boy Scout</strong></h2>\r\nDude, the L.A. Stallions? Willis and Wayans (the good one) on the same screen? Halle Berry playing a stripper? Billy Blanks shooting people on the field? This movie has it all – solid banter and one-liners from Willis and Wayans, dramatic, tell-all villains and lots of ultra-violence. It’s like a lost Die Hard movie with extra football references. Well worth watching again if it’s been awhile. Best intro scene ever:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/VVrsGHs2MCk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/VVrsGHs2MCk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>8. The Replacements</strong></h2>\r\nDon’t let anyone tell you this movie isn’t awesome. Johnny Utah plays Shane Falco, a washed up QB who lives on a boat, but can still fling it as a replacement player. Gene Hackman plays the coach with the straw hat who knows about heart. Massively underrated Brooke Langton is the hot cheerleader/bartendress who brings it all together. Hands down the best football movie with a choreographed Gloria Gaynor prison dance routine.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/4fan97hHZcM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>7.

Any Given Sunday</strong></h2>\r\nThis film was made to showcase the real realness of the NFL, and it was made by Oliver Stone so it\'s gotta be true.

I think it\'s the yelling. The older he got, the more he sounded like a Pacino impersonation. I think he gives a convincing Pacino in this speech:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/WO4tIrjBDkk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/WO4tIrjBDkk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2><strong>5.

Goldsmith has been acting since the ‘70s. He’s been on Dallas, MacGuyver, Magnum P.I., Knight Rider, T.J. Hooker, the A-Team, Dynasty, CHiPs and Charlie’s Angels. You probably know him best as The Most Interesting Man in the World, the ultra-fascinating, smooth-talking spokesman for Dos Equis.\r\n\r\nI had the opportunity to speak with Jonathan, and as it turns out, the actor behind The Most Interesting Man in the World is a pretty interesting guy himself. He’s articulate, well-read and he lives on a boat. He’s traveled the world, supported many causes and he’s a damn good story-teller.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Is there a burden for being recognized as the most interesting man in the world?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Is it a burden? No. It’s an absolute joy for me. I’ve had a very good career for over 40 years. And the attention that I’m getting, I absolutely love. It’s wonderful. It’s kind of non-stop and I really appreciate it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice. So do people stop you on the street all the time and say things like, “stay thirsty?”\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s most frequent thing I get is, “stay thirsty” and a lot of people say, “Please, please just leave this message on my voicemail” or “talk to my fiancé” or whatever, but and it’s nice that people remember more of the lines than I do and some of them are even from the first year. We just entered the fourth year of the campaign so that’s very flattering and I love that, of course. It makes people smile.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I read that the inspiration behind your character came from an old friend, Fernando Llamas, the father of Lorenzo Llamas.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s correct.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What is it about your old friend that you channel when you play The Most Interesting Man in the World?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I just he was one the most charming raconteurs that I’ve ever met. A real man’s man. He was an athlete. He was an incredible swordsman and charming. He could tell the dirtiest jokes and it was never vulgar. He was, I guess, the quintessential gentleman, and man’s man and he was just a delight to be around. I live on a sailboat and he was one of my sailing buddies. We had a production company together at one time and when he passed on I scattered his ashes off my boat.\r\n\r\n<strong><!--more-->CS</strong>: Oh, that’s, that’s a nice way to go out\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well listen, we all have to go Chris, you know?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Yeah, I mean that’s what I did with my grandparents, too. I think it’s a bit more, I don’t know… it’s a bit better than having people come visit a headstone. That kinda thing.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG: </strong>Aw, Jesus, I think so too. I’m on my way tomorrow to Vermont trying to buy a farm up there. My father was a fly fisherman, which is the thing that I most enjoy, and I scattered his ashes on a little stream up there and now I’m going to hopefully purchase a second home not far from that spot. I think that’s a nice thing to remember somebody by. Better than a headstone.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what’s it like living on a boat?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: It’s wonderful. It’s kind of like triage. You only have those things that are very special and poignant to you. Things that are part of, you know, cherished heirlooms perhaps. I actually have my grandmother’s 100 year old silver Tiffany silverware. And I have another aunt who was awarded a woman of the year award by Eleanor Roosevelt. I have a collage of dried flowers that she had and some antique decanters that belonged to an uncle. Things that are a very personal, you can’t have too much.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I have always had more things than I need. e I have a storage unit with literally thousands of books in it…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, nice.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: …and of course you can’t do that on the boat so you just take those things that are really important that don’t clutter up your life space. Every place I look there’s something beautiful and something important to me.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So how often do you go sailing? How often do you take the boat out?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, you know because we live aboard there’s a lot of stuff that has to be put away, but at least every other week we get out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Where do you go when you when you sail?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well usually it’s just up to Malibu or down the coast towards Long Beach. Then of course we take weekends, and I try to go in the winter when nobody’s there to Catalina.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice!\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah I like the serenity of it. I’m very big on peace and quiet which is one of the other reasons for Vermont. I’m standing talking to you in Tarzana and I think that this kind of heat and traffic and cacophony will shorten one’s life or at least mine and I want to get out.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Do you travel a lot for the Dos Equis shoots?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, not necessarily for the Dos Equis shoots, but for things that are related. I mean I’m not limited to just working with Dos Equis. I can’t do anything else involving liquor or beer, but I do other things. I’m on the speaker circuit and you know I travel some doing that and making appearances and things as myself. I can’t appear as The Most Interesting Man because number one they own it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right, right.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: That’s understandable…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what’s the most interesting place that that you’ve traveled to?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Most interesting… I guess it would be in the Caribbean. I had a boat one time that I kept in the Caribbean. I wintered it in Venezuela and then sailed all the way through the Grenadines and through Martinique, Antigua, Guadalupe, and all the little tiny cays in between, and ended up in Turks and Cacos and British Virgin Islands and then back to Miami. That was easily the most interesting trip and I would say that Martinique is especially beautiful.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How long did that a trip like that take?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: About two and half months.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow that’s nice.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yea, it was great.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What’s  a place that you’ve never been to but have always wanted to visit?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I would say probably the Greek Islands and Turkey in the Mediterranean.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Especially for sailing right?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Oh, yes, yes. Absolutely. There’s something about the tranquility and the freedom that one has on a boat. You know, if you want to move, you just move. Take your home with you. It’s really a lovely experience. And someday I’d like to do that. I’d like to cruise even though we have the place in Vermont that’s, you know, a home base, but certainly in the winter time I would like to take the boat cruise. Now initially, while I’m busy -- and I’m very busy right now -- I would keep the boat on the West Coast, because I do other things. There is some print work, a lot of interviews, etcetera, as well as auditioning for some things. I’m waiting to hear about a movie right now, so I’d probably want to go down to Costa Rica. Where I’ve been, it’s beautiful. It’s gorgeous. You been there?\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: No, I have friends who talk about the rain forest experiences there. And it’s not too far…\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, their literacy rate is the highest in the world.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: They’ve never had an army – well, I don’t know if they’ve ever had an army – but they don’t have one and haven’t for years. Never had a war. They have a higher infant mortality or lack of infant mortality rate than we do I believe. They have a better school system, their medical care is superb and their life expectancy is considerably more than ours. It’s just a very happy, happy place very hospitable people. That would be one cruise that I’d like to take. Take the boat through the canal and into the Caribbean, keep the farm and be able to grow my vegetables and flowers in the spring. So that’s my long range plan.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you’ve been acting since the seventies, and I know that you’ve done a lot of television work. What is the most interesting shoot or character that you’ve played or television experience that you really remember.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, geez there were so many. I guess I would associate that question or my answer with the people that I worked with. I had the pleasure of working with Henry Fonda. He played a police inspector – it was not a big show or anything – but that was joyous. He was really just a gentleman, a delightful man and very, very gracious as an actor. But I would definitely say that the best experience I ever had as an actor was starring opposite Burt Lancaster.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Oh, wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, wow is right. It was a quite an experience. A Vietnam piece, uh 1977, and it’s kind of a cult picture. It’s called <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077617/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Go Tell the Spartans</em></a>, and it’s about the corruption, the South Vietnamese, Vietnam and our involvement with them. And that was that was spectacular. I had one the central roles, a very challenging one and got wonderful reviews. The whole experience was terrific. You can still get that at Blockbuster.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s definitely something I’ll check out.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, <em>Go Tell the Spartans</em>. It’s terrific little picture, and it was made for less money than a television show.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Less than a million bucks, yup. And all of it was dubbed. We shot it right out by Magic Mountain, so in some of the highly dramatic scenes you can hear the other people yelling on the roller coasters.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s funny.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, but then we all went individually into an empty soundstage. And I had an extremely dramatic scene where I kill myself and I had to do it all by myself on a soundstage.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: It had its challenges…\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How do you how do you manufacture that kind of emotion with no one to bounce things off of?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, that’s what comes with the territory. Good actors are able to call upon those scenes inside of themselves -- things that have existed, their dark side, or their demons, their joyous sides. That’s just what actors, good actors do – call upon life’s experience.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Now, I also read that you have you have a pretty strong background in improvising and you work with kids and in prisons teaching improvisation techniques.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yea, one of the things that I’ve done since I’ve been 18, really and that’s quite a long time, is work with abused and handicapped kids. About 30 years ago, I started with an organization that I’m still very involved with called <a href=\"http://www.freearts.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Free Arts for Abused Children</a>. What we do is we bring in arts programs to kids who are either incarcerated or under lock and key protection, sometimes from their own parents, and we provide a non-threatening environment for them to express themselves through acting, or painting, dance, improvisation certainly, and then their therapists sometimes will get good insight that they say can save years of conventional therapy and certainly accelerate the process.\r\n\r\nI’m also involved with an organization called <a href=\"http://stellalinkent.com/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Stella Link Productions</a>. They were doing a picture on the child pornography sex trafficking in Cambodia and Thailand. And something I’m very involved with is one more charity called the <a href=\"http://www.sabre.org/\" target=\"_blank\">S.A.B.R.E. Foundation</a>. We’re trying to do what we can to call attention to one of the most endangered species, the Siberian tiger.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Just a couple more Dos Equis related questions.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Sure, yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: It seems like it would be a lot of fun making these commercial spots. Is that the case?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yes, yes it is. It is a lot of fun, but is also an exorbitant, enormous amount of work. We go over it so many different times and when you shoot a commercial, there are not only the ad agency people there, but there’s also the sponsor. So we’re working with a whole committee of people that see things not always the same, so it’s, you know, it had to be done over and over and over this angle, that angle, this directions, etcetera, etcetera. It’s hard work. And also these are very rigorous, physical things. I’m not 25 years old.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughter)\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Don’t laugh. Don’t chuckle so loud.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: No, no, no. I’m just thinking back to the commercials like I you know like you’re hanging from rocks and, you know, like wading through water this kind of stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah, yeah well. I go to the gym every day. Every day but one. Every single day. And in all truth, you know that they use a stunt double for some of the stuff as well, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: (Laughter) Yea, of course. Do you get to improvise at all when you are on the set or is it all pretty rigid?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, they usually have it pretty rigid, but in the very beginning I improvised a great deal, and I think it had a lot to do with the creation of the eventual character that came out. I knew that before I got the role, that one would have to be good at improvisation. There were three different times I got called back, each time it was improvisational and they searched all over the country. So about three months was involved. I would like to think that I made some contributions to their terrific ideas.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Right. So what do you enjoy most about playing the character? ‘Cause it’s gotta be fun playing being the alpha male masculine guy, you know, all that stuff.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I’ll tell you, what I enjoy the most is that it brings a chuckle to people’s face. It also has a little bit of a message, so I guess one might say it has something to do with leaving a legacy.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s a good point. Everyone wants to feel like they’ve left some sort of mark on the world. Yeah.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Yeah. Why not? Like to feel that you’ve maybe made an impression with people, maybe, you know, show a guy how to alpha it up a just little bit, how to feel more comfortable, cooler.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So, what would you say to a person who wants to live a more interesting life?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Become an interested person.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: There you go. That’s a good idea.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Or if not, the people that are not interested become uninteresting. I firmly believe that. Particularly people that don’t read. If you don’t read you have no desire to learn and you’re a bore.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you need that curiosity to generate curiosity about yourself. Yeah, that makes sense.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I think so. If you don’t have curiosity, your friends probably won\'t either. Do you want to be like that or be challenged? Provocative people challenge you to grow. Who do you want to be like? You know, do you want to be like the guy that’s not accomplished anything? Do you sit back in the parade of life and watch as it goes by like a spectator who lives vicariously? Or do you want to actually be a participant in the parade of life. My motto is to celebrate the possibilities. Most people just take up space, accomplish little and leave nothing behind. I don’t want to be like that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Yeah, man. This is this is inspirational stuff, I gotta say Jonathan.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Oh it’s true. I firmly believe it. I believe it with all my heart and soul. And it’s got nothing to do with money. Some the coolest, hippest, most marvelous people that I’ve ever read about or have known have little in the way of material things. It has little to do with money. It has to do with attitude. Don’t be don’t be a bore. Be interested, and you’ll be interesting.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I like it. So you mentioned how you’re an avid reader. Who are some of your favorite authors or what are some of your favorite books?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Well, I’ll just name a few that I just finished reading. One was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Darkside</span>, about the Rendition program. The other one was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">The Family</span>, about these phony C Street bastards. Uh, forgive me. I, I tend to be rather passionate about politics.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: That’s okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Game Change</span> about the presidential election, as seen through the various separatists camps. And, let me see, I just finished one the other night. Oh one about Jerry Weintraub, the marvelous impresario, it’s called <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">When I Stop Talking, You\'ll Know I\'m Dead</span>. It was a charming book. I read a lot of political stuff. James Michener is an author that I love. I actually did one of his stories I went to the moon in <em>Space</em> years ago. Edgar Allen Poe is certainly one of my favorites. Nathaniel Hawthorne, I like the classics. And I love some of the ancients, you know, the Greeks, Plato, Aristotle. Old and new, and mostly anything by Christopher Hitchens.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Nice mix.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Anything that’s provocative, that makes you think.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So what are you political leanings?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: I’m… well, this is where I can get into trouble.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Uh-oh! I don’t want to get you into trouble Jonathan.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: No, let’s just say I believe in civility, responsibility, caring, and a government of the people, by the people, for the people.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I don’t think we’re going to piss off anybody with that. But I like it. It’s  a measured, honest and straight-forward response too.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Okay my friend, well, that\'s how I feel.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: One last question. What was it like doing a show on the “A-Team”?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: Uh, I didn’t enjoy it.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: No, not much. There were a lot of very egotistical… there were a few egotistical and boring people on the show. There were also some very charming people, but the egotists made it not the most pleasant experience.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: I gotcha. Well, I think I’ve probably taken enough of your time and I just want to say thanks.\r\n\r\n<strong>JG</strong>: My pleasure, Chris.','A Conversation With the Most Interesting Man in the World','','inherit','open','open','','1009-revision-13','','','2010-07-25 12:33:58','2010-07-25 19:33:58','',1009,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1009-revision-13/',0,'revision','',0),(1155,2,'2010-07-12 16:53:49','2010-07-12 23:53:49','On Friday, Reggie Bush posted a You Tube link on his Twitter to this <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B55uUwMGorY\" target=\"_blank\">awesome video of a redneck</a> who goes crazy on a reporter and hollers \"struttin\' dat ass\" over and over again.

Former Chargers safety <a href=\"http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/sullivan/20080706-9999-1s6sullivan.html\" target=\"_blank\">Terrence Kiel</a> (who was drafted out of Texas A&amp;M) was arrested after trying to ship some drank to a friend via FedEx. He was charged with transporting a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance. After the he pled guilty, the Chargers cut him. Kiel died in a car crash in 2008.\r\n\r\nIn 2008, defensive end <a href=\"http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/13485/video-otl-on-jolly-and-purple-drank\" target=\"_blank\">Johnny Jolly</a> of the Packers (also out of Texas A&amp;M) was pulled over in Houston for bumping his music too loud. The cops found Styrofoam cups next to his Dr. Pepper and they said they smelled drank. The cops found 200 grams of codeine and charged Jolly with a second degree felony. Charges against Jolly were initially dismissed, but they were quickly refiled once the 5-0 got new equipment to measure codeine amounts. Jolly faces up to 20 years in prison if he’s found guilty.\r\n\r\nBasically, if you want to get crunk on some sizzurp, drink Purple Drank responsibly. The sizzurp will get you faded, but not without some trouble. So don’t Fed Ex the shit to your friend. Don’t bump music with stanky Styrofoam cup dranks in your car. And remember, they call this shit lean for a reason. It’s all fun and games until respiratory or cardiac arrest sets in.

It’s not unusual to see people hitting the club with a bunch of Styrofoam cups. <a href=\"http://www.lilwayne-online.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Lil’ Wayne</a> is from New Orleans, and he likes himself a <a href=\"http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/tylerdurdenad/blog3-lil-wayne.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">lil’ drank</a> every now and then.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-870\" title=\"lil wayne drank\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/lil-wayne-drank.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" />\r\n\r\nNow JaMarcus Russell isn’t the first NFL athlete to get busted for sizzurp. Former Chargers safety <a href=\"http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/sullivan/20080706-9999-1s6sullivan.html\" target=\"_blank\">Terrence Kiel</a> (who was drafted out of Texas A&amp;M) was arrested after trying to ship some drank to a friend via FedEx. He was charged with transporting a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance. After the he pled guilty, the Chargers cut him. Kiel died in a car crash in 2008.\r\n\r\nIn 2008, defensive end <a href=\"http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/13485/video-otl-on-jolly-and-purple-drank\" target=\"_blank\">Johnny Jolly</a> of the Packers (also out of Texas A&amp;M) was pulled over in Houston for bumping his music too loud. The cops found Styrofoam cups next to his Dr. Pepper and they said they smelled drank. The cops found 200 grams of codeine and charged Jolly with a second degree felony. Charges against Jolly were initially dismissed, but they were quickly refiled once the 5-0 got new equipment to measure codeine amounts. Jolly faces up to 20 years in prison if he’s found guilty.\r\n\r\nBasically, if you want to get crunk on some sizzurp, drink Purple Drank responsibly. The sizzurp will get you faded, but not without some trouble. So don’t Fed Ex the shit to your friend. Don’t bump music with stanky Styrofoam cup dranks in your car. And remember, they call this shit lean for a reason. It’s all fun and games until respiratory or cardiac arrest sets in. You can crush up and add all the Jolly Ranchers you want, but if you take too much codeine, you’re gonna end up in a coma or <a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2007/12/04/rapper-pimp-c-found-dead-in-hollywood-hotel-room/\" target=\"_blank\">worse</a>.','What Is Purple Drank? - The Origins of the Sizzurp  ','','inherit','open','open','','869-revision-15','','','2010-07-26 08:02:32','2010-07-26 15:02:32','',869,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/869-revision-15/',0,'revision','',0),(1160,2,'2010-07-01 08:28:02','2010-07-01 15:28:02','Starting in the 15th Century, Europeans made some pretty aggressive moves around the globe. The Euros didn’t invent imperialism, but they sure took extreme measures to expand their spheres of influence during The Age of Discovery. As various European powers jockeyed for imperial influence around the globe, shit got kinda intense in the Americas, and the Euros made some pretty bold, somewhat dickish moves. Here’s a look at the top 5 biggest imperial dick moves that Euros pulled on the New World:\r\n<h2>The Columbian Exchange</h2>\r\nWhen <a href=\"http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/columbus1.html\" target=\"_blank\">Christopher Columbus</a> arrived in the Americas, he ushered in a new era of exchange between The Old World and The New. For the first time in history, the Euros were able to taste stuff like corn, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, peanuts, pineapple, beans, cacao, vanilla, turkeys and tobacco. The Old World also scored big in the precious metals department, using the silver and gold from the Americas to fuel worldwide imperial expansion.\r\n\r\nOn the flipside, the natives in America were exposed to citrus, wheat, sugar, rice, coffee, horses, pigs and cows. The introduction of livestock might sound like a bonus, but you got to factor in thousands of years of non-coexistence with domesticated beasts. The Euros had plenty of time to adjust to the diseases that these animals carried. The Native Americans didn’t develop immune systems that could handle nasty shit like small pox, measles, typhus and influenza that the Euros brought over. So Team Europe scored big time. The Euros got cash, new foods and land rich with natural resources. The locals got a whole lot of death (and when death didn’t come, they got invitations to work or move westward).  The <a href=\"http://www.shmoop.com/columbian-exchange/\" target=\"_blank\">Columbian Exchange</a> turned out to be a pretty one-sided transaction and definitely one of the biggest imperial dick moves of all time.\r\n<h2>The Conquistadors</h2>\r\nAfter Columbus, the Spanish were ready to get serious with their control of the Americas. That’s where the Conquistadors come in. In the first half of the 16th Century, guys like <a href=\"http://library.thinkquest.org/4034/cortes.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cortes</a>, <a href=\"http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/eurvoya/inca.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pizarro</a> and <a href=\"http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/people/a_c/coronado.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Coronado</a> stepped into a situation where indigenous people were weakened by disease and ripe for hostile takeover. The Euros had the power of Catholicism to go along with horses, steel and firearms. The locals had the traditions of an oral, non-literate society, a shit-ton of shiny gold and silver and a sense of misguided trust that would be their ultimate undoing (I’m looking at you <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atahualpa\" target=\"_blank\">Atahualpa</a> and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moctezuma_II\" target=\"_blank\">Moctezuma</a>). The Spanish were able to mop up the Aztec and Incan Empires with amazing speed, and consolidate their imperial stranglehold on the Americas. Wiping out entire civilizations definitely qualifies as an imperial dick move.\r\n<h2>The Silver Mines of Potosi</h2>\r\nThis shit is unreal. Imagine you’re the biggest colonial super power in the New World (Spain), and you come across one of the highest elevated places on Earth (Potosi, in modern-day Bolivia) in the second half of the 16th Century. Now imagine this place has this huge mountain that’s basically made of silver. Score, right? At this point you’d have no choice but to enslave the local population, build the place out into one of the biggest cities in the New World and go about extracting <a href=\"http://www.worldheritagesite.org/sites/potosi.html\" target=\"_blank\">45,000 tons of silver</a> from the spot so that you can further your imperial adventures. It’s a no-brainer really.\r\n\r\nBeing a miner in Potosi would have sucked big-time. The locals had to work grueling hours with no shoes, climb ropes with candles on their heads (if one dude fell off the rope, many would be screwed) and mix and burn mercury to extract the precious silver from the mines. Sucks for the locals, but it was a great deal for Spain. But as Spain and Portugal became flush with silver and gold from the Americas, they got fat of the pillaging, and didn’t develop colonies that were actually productive from a manufacturing or agricultural standpoint. This opened the door for other Euros to step in, and Spain eventually went bankrupt.\r\n<h2>Caribbean Sugar Plantations</h2>\r\nIn the mid-1600s, the Dutch brought sugar cane from Brazil to the British West Indies. Cotton and sugar production was taking off in the colonies of North America, so the colonial overlords in the Caribbean decided to switch gears to sugar cultivation. The Brits couldn’t get enough of that sweet, sweet sugar in their tea and cakes, so they quickly got hooked on the stuff and the rest of Europe followed suit. With Euros needing more and more sweetness, sugar production had to be stepped up. How did the Dutch, French and English imperials increase production? They brought in more African slaves. A lot more. As demand grew, sugar plantations expanded in size. What initially started in <a href=\"http://www.barbados.org/history1.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Barbados</a> soon spread to other places in the Caribbean like Jamaica and La Hispaniola (modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic). More and more slaves were brought in and the slave trade soon became a booming international business. So the next time you put sugar in your coffee think about the lengths that the Euros took to keep this stuff flowing freely from the Caribbean.\r\n<h2>British Colonialism in America</h2>\r\nSpain and Portugal got the imperial party started in the New World, but the French, Dutch and Brits all wanted in on the action. After a few wars with the French and the Dutch, England came out as the frontrunner in the new era of colonial influence in North America. In the late 16th Century, Queen Elizabeth I encouraged exploration and discovery missions that would allow guys like Humphrey Gilbert and Walter Raleigh to poke around the West Indies and eastern seaboard in search of opportunities for trade and settlement. Jamestown (founded in 1607) was the first permanent British settlement in America.\r\n\r\nAs Britain’s influence in America grew, other imperial powers got squeezed out of the game. The Brits monopolized the slave trade, began annexing islands in the Caribbean and started shit with the French in Newfoundland. The Brits soon controlled the ultra-lucrative <a href=\"http://www.nmm.ac.uk/freedom/viewTheme.cfm/theme/triangular\" target=\"_blank\">triangle of trade</a> between America, Europe and Africa. After more international skirmishes with the French and the Dutch, Britain’s power grew in India and Asia, and the First British Empire was in full effect.\r\n\r\nThe Brits were living the imperial dream until freedom-loving Americans like you and me punched those red coats in the mouth and made \'em lose their 13 colonies. We then went on to create the best country in the world!\r\n\r\nIt took some pretty big imperial dick moves to get here, but that’s what makes the American experience so unique. So when you set off those fire crackers, chomp on some corn or grub on some potato salad this weekend, think about how we got here. We got ourselves a unique, one-of-a-kind history here in America, and it goes way further back than 1776.\r\n\r\nHappy July 4th everybody!\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/New-World1.jpg\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-851\" title=\"New World\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/New-World1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"290\" /></a>','The 5 Biggest Imperial Dick Moves That Euros Pulled on the New World','','inherit','open','open','','850-revision-5','','','2010-07-01 08:28:02','2010-07-01 15:28:02','',850,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/850-revision-5/',0,'revision','',0),(1161,3,'2010-07-26 13:51:33','2010-07-26 20:51:33','<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1174\" title=\"cow_ass-300\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/cow_ass-300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"305\" height=\"346\" />Did you even know we had a cow fart problem?

Our large-scale agriculture industry, which has been booming since the mid-20th century due to our genius at making things convenient for ourselves, is responsible for 14 percent of the world\'s greenhouse gases.  A significant portion of those emissions comes from methane, a gas which is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide in terms of contribution to global warming.\r\n\r\nSo methane is bad, but where do cows fit into this scenario? Apparently, cows emit a massive amount of methane through farting, but even more so through belching. Some experts say that cows pass about 132 gallons of methane a day which is comparable to the pollution produced by 1 car each day. Is this friggin\' ridiculous or what? Well it\'s not. The massive farting and belching is a big problem and big business needs to find a way to fix it.\r\n\r\nThere are 1.5 billion cows in the world and billions more of other grazing animals that emit methane like goats and sheep. These animals are classified as ruminants which means they\'re a certain type of animal that have 4 stomachs and digest their food in their stomachs rather than in their intestines, like we humans do. Stomachs of ruminant animals are filled with bacteria that help them digest food but also produce that dang methane gas.\r\n\r\nHere\'s the kicker, we humans made this methane cow farting/belching problem by trying to be efficient. Big farming business consolidated thousands of cows into a few acreages. Cows graze on a variety of grasses and flowers that would normally be found in the pastures, but because feeding needed to be more efficient, pastures were reseeded with perennial ryegrass which grows quickly and in large amounts. The problem with ryegrass is that it\'s the \'fast food\' of grass, meaning it ain\'t that nutritious and it\'s hard to digest, thus creating our methane fart problem.\r\n\r\nNow we\'re trying to come up with <a href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/05/us/05cows.html\" target=\"_blank\">solutions to curb the farts</a> like giving cows methane-reducing pills, feeding them garlic, trapping the gas and selling it back to the electrical grid, and more. I\'m just a feeble-minded consumer and not a scientist working for big business, but I\'d like to propose a solution that has been helpful to me in my own experiences with gaseous emmissions. Say I eat my late-night fourth meal and get the stinkfarts (yes, Taco Bell, I\'m talking to you). I\'ve noticed that I greatly reduce my stinkfarts by NOT EATING THE THING WHICH CAUSES THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE! It\'s that simple. Give these cows the good grass they deserve.\r\n\r\nWe all know this probably won\'t happen. It\'s likely too expensive and too inefficient for these big businesses to switch back to natural, healthy-for-the-cows-grass. Sad to say, but looks like we made our cow-pie and now we have to lie in it.\r\n\r\n<em>Photo via: <a href=\"http://greenopolis.com/goblog/jerryjamesstone/curry-spices-reduce-methane-found-cow-farts-40\" target=\"_blank\">Greenopolis</a> and <a href=\"http://greenopolis.com/goblog/jerryjamesstone/curry-spices-reduce-methane-found-cow-farts-40\" target=\"_blank\"></a><a href=\"http://treehumper.org/enviro-groups-to-cows-stop-farting-so-much/\" target=\"_blank\">Treehumper</a>\r\n</em>','The World Cow Fart Problem','','publish','open','open','','the-world-cow-fart-problem','','\nhttp://treehumper.org/enviro-groups-to-cows-stop-farting-so-much/','2010-07-26 14:28:47','2010-07-26 21:28:47','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=1161',0,'post','',0),(1162,1,'2010-07-26 12:34:45','2010-07-26 19:34:45','','Curry Spices Can Help Reduce Our Cow Fart Problem','','inherit','open','open','','1161-revision','','','2010-07-26 12:34:45','2010-07-26 19:34:45','',1161,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1161-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(1163,1,'2010-07-26 12:35:00','2010-07-26 19:35:00','Did you even know we had a cow fart problem?','Curry Spices Can Help Reduce Our Cow Fart Problem','','inherit','open','open','','1161-revision-2','','','2010-07-26 12:35:00','2010-07-26 19:35:00','',1161,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1161-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(1165,1,'2010-07-26 12:37:59','2010-07-26 19:37:59','Did you even know we had a cow fart problem?','Curry Spices Can Help Reduce Cow Fart Problem','','inherit','open','open','','1161-revision-4','','','2010-07-26 12:37:59','2010-07-26 19:37:59','',1161,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1161-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(1164,1,'2010-07-26 12:36:26','2010-07-26 19:36:26','Did you even know we had a cow fart problem?','Curry Spices Can Help Reduces Cow Fart Problem','','inherit','open','open','','1161-revision-3','','','2010-07-26 12:36:26','2010-07-26 19:36:26','',1161,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1161-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(1166,1,'2010-07-26 13:33:25','2010-07-26 20:33:25','Did you even know we had a cow fart problem?
