I followed a 7-6-3 Week 1 with a 8-7-1 Week 2. While 15-13-4 doesn’t sound like advice you’d pay for, at least I\'ve got the same record from last week and one less loss on the season than <a href=\"http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmonsnfl2010/picks100924\" target=\"_blank\">Bill Simmons</a>. I’ve been making some good cash on the Steelers quick start, too, and that’s a trend that’s going to continue this weekend. Anyway, on to the picks:\r\n\r\n<strong>At NY Giants -3 Tennessee</strong>\r\n\r\nThese two teams both need a rebound win. Last week, the Giants got spanked in the Manning Bowl and the Titans got pile-driven by the Steelers. Does Vince Young come in and reclaim his job? Chris Johnson will be facing another tough run defense, but he’ll certainly do way better than his 34-yard rushing performance in Week 2. Titans bounce back.\r\n\r\nPICK: Titans +3\r\n\r\n<strong>At New England -14 Buffalo </strong>\r\n\r\nAnother week, another huge point spread for whoever’s playing the Bills. Make no mistake though, the Pats are going to crush this team on Sunday. Brady is a Bills killer, and Ryan Fitzpatrick won’t be able to hang with a guy who’s beaten the Bills 15 times in 16 games while completing 65.3 percent of his passes with an average QB rating of 100.6. Brady has thrown more TDs (33) and put up more passing yards (3,713) against the Bills than he has against any other team in the league. This trend will continue in Week 3.\r\n\r\nPICK: Pats -14.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Baltimore -10.5 Cleveland </strong>\r\n\r\nJoe Flacco needs this game. He’s looked horrible through two games, but he’ll bounce back against the winless Browns. Lock it in.\r\n\r\nPICK: Ravens -10.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Pittsburgh -2.5 At Tampa Bay </strong>\r\n\r\nStill not sold on the Steelers? I could line up under center for that team the Steelers would still kick ass. They have <a href=\"http://espn.go.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/17943/scouts-inc-steelers-have-nfls-best-defense?utm_source=bleacherreport.com\" target=\"_blank\">the best defense in football</a> and Tomlin wants a W against the team that gave him his first shot as an NFL coach. At some point the oddsmakers are going to give the Steelers more respect. Until they do, keep cashing in.\r\n\r\nPICK: Steelers -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Cincinnati -3 At Carolina </strong>\r\n\r\nThe Bengals couldn’t score a touchdown last week, but five field goals were enough. Cincy’s strength is its defense. If they can make Joe Flacco throw four picks, imagine what they’ll do to Jimmy Clausen.\r\n\r\nPICK:  Bengals -3\r\n\r\n<strong>At New Orleans -4 Atlanta </strong>\r\n\r\nThe Falcons are a good football team. They had a tough loss to start the season and they totally crushed the Cardinals in Week 2. The Saints are just too good though. Even though the 49ers almost took them out on Monday Night, the Saints return back to the comfort of their dome. This team’s just clicking too much to bet against them at home. The Falcons will put up points, but not enough to win.\r\n\r\nPICK: Saints -4\r\n\r\n<strong>At Kansas City +3 San Francisco </strong>\r\n\r\nThe Chiefs are 2-0 baby! The Niners looked impressive at home last week, but I’m going to roll with the Chiefs at home on this one.\r\n\r\nPICK: Chiefs +3\r\n\r\n<strong>At Minnesota -11 Detroit </strong>\r\n\r\nWho are the Vikings at this point? Are they a run first team with a gray-beard game manager under center or are they a team that likes to fling it? The Lions are facing their toughest defense yet, but who wants to bet against Jahvid Best?\r\n\r\nPICK: Lions +11\r\n\r\n<strong>At Houston -2.5 Dallas</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Texans are clicking and the Cowboys are answerless. Dallas doesn’t have a run game and the Texans can beat you in so many ways. The battle for Texas is going down in Houston. The Cowboys are desperate, but the Texans will stay hot and take this one.\r\n\r\nPICK: Texans -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Washington -3.5 At St. Louis </strong>\r\n\r\nThe Redskins almost pulled off a shocker last week, taking the Texans to overtime, but their upset fell short. Portis is questionable, but his play this season has been questionable as well. The Rams are averaging on 13.5 points per game, but they’ve only allowed 16.5 points in the first two weeks of the season. The Skins proved last week that they can put up points and hang with a good team. The Rams aren’t a good team.\r\n\r\nPICK:  Skins -3\r\n\r\n<strong>Philadelphia -2.5 At Jacksonville </strong>\r\n\r\nD avid Garrard was miserable last week against the Chargers. He threw four picks and got benched. Luke McCown came in and tore his ACL again and Garrard was back in action. Meanwhile in Philly, Vick has played so well that the team told Kevin Kolb to keep his ass on the pine. It’s easy to look good when you’re playing the Lions, but Vick’s the better QB and the Eagles are a better team. They should take care of business in Jacksonville.\r\n\r\nPICK: Eagles -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Indianapolis -5.5 At Denver </strong>\r\n\r\nPeyton Manning ruins Laurence Maroney’s big day. Colts cover in Denver.\r\n\r\nPICK: Colts -5.5\r\n\r\n<strong>San Diego -5 At Seattle </strong>\r\n\r\nMike Tolbert puts up big numbers in place of Ryan Mathews. San Diego will win the most unwatchable game of the afternoon\r\n\r\nPICK:  Chargers -5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Arizona -4.5 Oakland </strong>\r\n\r\nThe Polish Rifle makes Oakland a better team. The Cards must’ve been put through the ringer by Coach Wiz after last week’s beatdown. I don’t like this game; too many questions. Does Gradkowski light it up? Does Beanie Wells make an impact? Do Arizona’s receivers see anything resembling a catchable pass? Steer clear of this one, but if you have to choose a side, take Oakland, their rushing attack and their confident new QB.\r\n\r\nPICK:  Oakland +4.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Miami -2.5 NY Jets </strong>\r\n\r\nAnother tough call. The Jets got a big win in Week 2, but the Fins have been solid through two weeks. Which Mark Sanchez will we see? The dude who was shackled by a conservative game plan in Week 1? Or the guy who had the game of his life last week and is on the fast track for an MVP award?

We followed a 7-6-3 Week 1 with a 8-7-1 Week 2. While 15-13-4 doesn’t sound like advice you’d pay for, at least I got the same record from last week and one less loss on the season than Bill Simmons. I’ve been making some good cash on the Steelers quick start, too, and that’s a trend that’s going to continue this weekend. Anyway, on to the picks:\n\n<strong>At NY Giants -3 Tennessee </strong>\n\nThese two teams both need a rebound win. Last week, the Giants got spanked in the Manning Bowl and the Titans got pile-driven by the Steelers. Does Vince Young come in and reclaim his job? Chris Johnson will be facing another tough run defense, but he’ll certainly do better than his 39-yard rushing performance in Week 2. Titans bounce back.\n\nPICK: Titans +3\n\n<strong>At New England -14 Buffalo </strong>\n\nAnother week, another huge point spread for whoever’s playing the Bills. Make no mistake though, the Pats are going to crush this team on Sunday. Brady is a Bills killer, and Ryan Fitzpatrick won’t be able to hang with a guy who’s beaten the Bills 15 times in 16 games while completing 65.3 percent of his passes with an average QB rating of 100.6. Brady has thrown more TDs (33) and put up more passing yards (3,713) against the Bills than he has against any other team in the league. This trend will continue in Week 3.\n\nPICK: Pats -14.5\n\n<strong>At Baltimore -10.5 Cleveland </strong>\n\nJoe Flacco needs this game. He’s looked horrible through two games, but he’ll bounce back against the winless Browns. Lock it in.\n\nPICK: Ravens -10.5\n\n<strong>Pittsburgh -2.5 At Tampa Bay </strong>\n\nStill not sold on the Steelers? I could line up under center for that team the Steelers would still kick ass. They have the best defense in football and Tomlin wants a W against the team that gave him his first shot as an NFL coach. At some point the oddsmakers are going to give the Steelers more respect. Until they do, keep cashing in.\n\nPICK: Steelers -2.5\n\n<strong>Cincinnati -3 At Carolina </strong>\n\nThe Bengals couldn’t score a touchdown last week, but five field goals were enough. Cincy’s strength is its defense. If they can make Joe Flacco throw four picks, imagine what they’ll do to Jimmy Clausen.\n\nPICK:  Bengals -3\n\n<strong>At New Orleans -4 Atlanta </strong>\n\nThe Falcons are a good football team. They had a tough loss to start the season and they totally crushed the Cardinals in Week 2. The Saints are just too good though. Even though the 49ers almost took them out on Monday Night, the Saints return back to the comfort of their dome. This team’s just clicking too much to bet against them at home. The Falcons will put up points, but not enough to win.\n\nPICK: Saints -4\n\n<strong>At Kansas City +3 San Francisco </strong>\n\nThe Chiefs are 2-0 baby! The Niners looked impressive at home last week, but I’m going to roll with the Chiefs at home on this one.\n\nPICK: Chiefs +3\n\n<strong>At Minnesota -11 Detroit </strong>\n\nWho are the Vikings at this point? Are they a run first team with a gray-beard game manager under center or are they a team that likes to fling it? The Lions are facing their toughest defense yet, but who wants to bet against Jahvid Best?\n\nPICK: Lions +11\n\n<strong>At Houston -2.5 Dallas</strong>\n\nThe Texans are clicking and the Cowboys are answerless. Dallas doesn’t have a run game and the Texans can beat you in so many ways. The battle for Texas is going down in Houston. The Cowboys are desperate, but the Texans will stay hot and take this one.\n\nPICK: Texans -2.5\n\n<strong>Washington -3.5 At St. Louis </strong>\n\nThe Redskins almost pulled off a shocker last week, taking the Texans to overtime, but their upset fell short. Portis is questionable, but his play this season has been questionable as well. The Rams are averaging on 13.5 points per game, but they’ve only allowed 16.5 points in the first two weeks of the season. The Skins proved last week that they can put up points and hang with a good team. The Rams aren’t a good team.\n\nPICK:  Skins -3\n\n<strong>Philadelphia -2.5 At Jacksonville </strong>\n\nD avid Garrard was miserable last week against the Chargers. He threw four picks and got benched. Luke McCown came in and tore his ACL again and Garrard was back in action. Meanwhile in Philly, Vick has played so well that the team told Kevin Kolb to keep his ass on the pine. It’s easy to look good when you’re playing the Lions, but Vick’s the better QB and the Eagles are a better team. They should take care of business in Jacksonville.\n\nPICK: Eagles -2.5\n\n<strong>Indianapolis -5.5 At Denver </strong>\n\nPeyton Manning ruins Laurence Maroney’s big day. Colts cover in Denver.\n\nPICK: Colts -5.5\n\n<strong>San Diego -5 At Seattle </strong>\n\nMike Tolbert puts up big numbers in place of Ryan Mathews. San Diego will win the most unwatchable game of the afternoon\n\nPICK:  Chargers -5\n\n<strong>At Arizona -4.5 Oakland </strong>\n\nThe Polish Rifle makes Oakland a better team. The Cards must’ve been put through the ringer by Coach Wiz after last week’s beatdown. I don’t like this game; too many questions. Does Gradkowski light it up? Does Beanie Wells make an impact? Do Arizona’s receivers see anything resembling a catchable pass? Steer clear of this one, but if you have to choose a side, take Oakland, their rushing attack and their confident new QB.\n\nPICK:  Oakland +4.5\n\n<strong>At Miami -2.5 NY Jets </strong>\n\nAnother tough call. The Jets got a big win in Week 2, but the Fins have been solid through two weeks. Which Mark Sanchez will we see? The dude who was shackled by a conservative game plan in Week 1? Or the guy who had the game of his life last week and is on the fast track for an MVP award?\n\nPICK:\n\n<strong>Green Bay -3 At Chicago</strong>\n\nFor two straight weeks I’ve picked the Bears to lose, but they’re 2-0. I guess I should believe in Cutler and Company, but I don’t. Not against the Packers. Sorry.

Make no mistake though, the Pats are going to crush this team on Sunday. Brady is a Bills killer, and Ryan Fitzpatrick won’t be able to hang with a guy who’s beaten the Bills 15 times in 16 games while completing 65.3 percent of his passes with an average QB rating of 100.6. Brady has thrown more TDs (33) and put up more passing yards (3,713) against the Bills than he has against any other team in the league. This trend will continue in Week 3.\r\n\r\nPICK: Pats -14.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Baltimore -10.5 Cleveland </strong>\r\n\r\nJoe Flacco needs this game. He’s looked horrible through two games, but he’ll bounce back against the winless Browns.

They had a tough loss to start the season and they totally crushed the Cardinals in Week 2. The Saints are just too good though. Even though the 49ers almost took them out on Monday Night, the Saints return back to the comfort of their dome. This team’s just clicking too much to bet against them at home.

The Rams are averaging on 13.5 points per game, but they’ve only allowed 16.5 points in the first two weeks of the season.

The Rams aren’t a good team.\r\n\r\nPICK:  Skins -3\r\n\r\n<strong>Philadelphia -2.5 At Jacksonville </strong>\r\n\r\nD avid Garrard was miserable last week against the Chargers. He threw four picks and got benched. Luke McCown came in and tore his ACL again and Garrard was back in action. Meanwhile in Philly, Vick has played so well that the team told Kevin Kolb to keep his ass on the pine.

The Niners looked impressive at home last week, but I’m going to roll with the Chiefs at home on this one.\r\n\r\nPICK: Chiefs +3\r\n\r\n<strong>At Minnesota -11 Detroit </strong>\r\n\r\nWho are the Vikings at this point? Are they a run first team with a gray-beard game manager under center or are they a team that likes to fling it? The Lions are facing their toughest defense yet, but who wants to bet against Jahvid Best?\r\n\r\nPICK: Lions +11\r\n\r\n<strong>At Houston -2.5 Dallas</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Texans are clicking and the Cowboys are answerless. Dallas doesn’t have a run game and the Texans can beat you in so many ways. The battle for Texas is going down in Houston. The Cowboys are desperate, but the Texans will stay hot and take this one.\r\n\r\nPICK: Texans -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Washington -3.5 At St. Louis </strong>\r\n\r\nThe Redskins almost pulled off a shocker last week, taking the Texans to overtime, but their upset fell short. Portis is questionable, but his play this season has been questionable as well. The Rams are averaging on 13.5 points per game, but they’ve only allowed 16.5 points in the first two weeks of the season. The Skins proved last week that they can put up points and hang with a good team. The Rams aren’t a good team.\r\n\r\nPICK:  Skins -3\r\n\r\n<strong>Philadelphia -2.5 At Jacksonville </strong>\r\n\r\nD avid Garrard was miserable last week against the Chargers. He threw four picks and got benched. Luke McCown came in and tore his ACL again and Garrard was back in action. Meanwhile in Philly, Vick has played so well that the team told Kevin Kolb to keep his ass on the pine. It’s easy to look good when you’re playing the Lions, but Vick’s the better QB and the Eagles are a better team. They should take care of business in Jacksonville.\r\n\r\nPICK: Eagles -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Indianapolis -5.5 At Denver </strong>\r\n\r\nPeyton Manning ruins Laurence Maroney’s big day. Colts cover in Denver.\r\n\r\nPICK: Colts -5.5\r\n\r\n<strong>San Diego -5 At Seattle </strong>\r\n\r\nMike Tolbert puts up big numbers in place of Ryan Mathews. San Diego will win the most unwatchable game of the afternoon\r\n\r\nPICK:  Chargers -5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Arizona -4.5 Oakland </strong>\r\n\r\nThe Polish Rifle makes Oakland a better team. The Cards must’ve been put through the ringer by Coach Wiz after last week’s beatdown. I don’t like this game; too many questions. Does Gradkowski light it up? Does Beanie Wells make an impact? Do Arizona’s receivers see anything resembling a catchable pass? Steer clear of this one, but if you have to choose a side, take Oakland, their rushing attack and their confident new QB.\r\n\r\nPICK:  Oakland +4.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Miami -2.5 NY Jets </strong>\r\n\r\nAnother tough call. The Jets got a big win in Week 2, but the Fins have been solid through two weeks. Which Mark Sanchez will we see? The dude who was shackled by a conservative game plan in Week 1? Or the guy who had the game of his life last week and is on the fast track for an MVP award? With Revis out, I\'m taking the Fins at home.\r\n\r\nPICK: Fins -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Green Bay -3 At Chicago</strong>\r\n\r\nFor two straight weeks I’ve picked the Bears to lose, but they’re 2-0. I guess I should believe in Cutler and Company, but I don’t. Not against the Packers. Sorry. Green Bay seizes the spotlight on Monday Night and the Bears show their home crowd that they don’t deserve to be lossless.\r\n\r\nPICK:  Packers -3','Week 3 NFL Picks','','inherit','open','open','','2002-revision-7','','','2010-09-24 17:45:15','2010-09-25 00:45:15','',2002,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2002-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(2012,2,'2010-09-27 11:41:28','2010-09-27 18:41:28','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2013 alignnone\" title=\"phil_simms_fedex\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/phil_simms_fedex.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"290\" />\r\n\r\nPhil Simms is a former Super Bowl MVP with two rings, two Pro Bowl appearances and a resume that could earn him a place in Canton.

Because we’re a men’s site, we end up trying out a lot of different shaving products. Some are good, others are not. The shaving stuff we got from Aveda falls into the good category.\r\n\r\nFirst, we tried out the Aveda Men Pure-Formance Shave Cream. The stylish bottle promised some natural, moisturizing goodness, and the product did not disappoint. The shave cream contains natural emollients, Vitamin E, aloe, argan oil and scutellaria baicalensis root extract. There’s also this soothing proprietary phto-active blend in the mix that includes seaweed, licorice root, sage extract, plai oil and tamanu  oil. Add it all up and you’re basically putting some pretty smooth rainforest action on your face before shaving. The result? Less irritation, reduced razor burn and some serious moisturizing as an added benefit.\r\n\r\nThe Aveda Pure-Formance Dual Action Aftershave provides a nice finish to your shaving experience. The aftershave adds extra protection against razor burn and irritation, and it provides even more moisturizing action in non-greasy, not-overbearingly-fragrant way. The aroma is a mild mix of natural flavors like lemon, spearmint, vetiver and lavender oils. The kunzea extract adds a nice touch as well.\r\n\r\nIf you like natural products that yield effective results, check out Aveda’s shaving products for men. Even the bottles are made from 45% post-consumer recycled HDPE. If you don’t like perfumey products that cater more to cologne types than moisturizing close shavers, you can’t beat the rainforest-to-the-face feeling that these Aveda shaving products have to offer.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2029\" title=\"aveda for men\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/aveda-for-men.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"657\" /></p>','Aveda Shaving Products - Soothing Rainforest Action for Your Face','','publish','open','open','','aveda-shaving-products-soothing-rainforest-action-for-your-face','','','2010-09-27 15:33:20','2010-09-27 22:33:20','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2028',0,'post','',0),(2029,2,'2010-09-27 15:27:50','2010-09-27 22:27:50','','aveda for men','','inherit','open','open','','aveda-for-men','','','2010-09-27 15:27:50','2010-09-27 22:27:50','',2028,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/aveda-for-men.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2030,2,'2010-09-27 15:26:53','2010-09-27 22:26:53','At MANjr, we get a lot of stuff to review.

Because we’re a men’s site, we end up trying out a lot of different shaving products. Some are good, others are not. The shaving stuff we got from Aveda falls into the good category.\n\nFirst, we tried out the Aveda Men Pure-Formance Shave Cream. The stylish bottle promised some natural, moisturizing goodness, and the product did not disappoint. The shave cream contains natural emollients, Vitamin E, aloe, argan oil and scutellaria baicalensis root extract. There’s also this soothing proprietary phto-active blend in the mix that includes seaweed, licorice root, sage extract, plai oil and tamanu  oil. Add it all up and you’re basically putting some pretty smooth rainforest action on your face before shaving. The result? Less irritation, reduced razor burn and some serious moisturizing as an added benefit.\n\nThe Aveda Pure-Formance Dual Action Aftershave provides a nice finish to your shaving experience. The aftershave adds extra protection against razor burn and irritation, and it provides even more moisturizing action in non-greasy, not-overbearingly-fragrant way. The aroma is a mild mix of natural flavors like lemon, spearmint, vetiver and lavender oils. The kunzea extract adds a nice touch as well.\n\nIf you like natural products that yield effective results, check out Aveda’s shaving products for men.

First off, the 2011 Juke is sporty as hell. It’s one of those small crossover cars that make up one of the fastest growing segments in the auto market. The Juke has the sleekness and maneuverability of a sports car, but it still has the utility and frame that you’d expect from a compact SUV. It’s like a mini Cooper with balls.\r\n\r\nThe car’s appearance is what strikes you first. It has a wide stance, the outward appearance of a much larger car, these funky, boomerang-shaped taillights and a uniquely athletic front grill. The sculpted interior includes a center console that was modeled off of a motorcycle, a pretty decent stock sound system (with front tweeters and a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer in the back) and an easy to use, climate/drive control interface that allows you to control the AC and select between three different drive modes (normal, sport and eco). The Juke also includes an optional navigation system on a five-inch color touch screen display and connection compatibility for iPod, Bluetooth and USB.\r\n\r\nThe Juke has a little kick to it too. The 2.5L engine offers drivers 188 horsepower and 177lb-ft of torque. The Juke can round corners well, crush U-turns with ease and accelerate quickly off the line. It’s a four-door, compact city car that’s fuel efficient (27 mpg on the city and 32 mpg on the highway), easy to park and gives you extra cargo space when you need it (35.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seat folded).\r\n\r\nThe Juke S starts at $18,960 for the S CVT FWD model ($20,460 for S CVT AWD). The SV model includes a moonroof, the I-CON Integrated Control System, USB port and premium cloth. The SV models range from $20,260 (for the SV MT FWD) to $22,260 (for the SV CVT AWD). Even if you get a fully equipped JUKE SL CVT AWD, which includes leather seats and a bunch of other goodies, the asking price starts at under $25,000 ($24,550 to be exact).\r\n\r\nIf you’re the kind of person who likes classic looking cars with timeless appeal, you’re not going to love the funky stylings of the Juke.

The Juke has the sleekness and maneuverability of a sports car, but it still has the utility and frame that you’d expect from a compact SUV. It’s like a mini Cooper with balls.\r\n\r\nThe car’s appearance is what strikes you first. It has a wide stance, the outward appearance of a much larger car, these funky, boomerang-shaped taillights and a uniquely athletic front grill. The sculpted interior includes a center console that was modeled off of a motorcycle, a pretty decent stock sound system (with front tweeters and a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer in the back) and an easy to use, climate/drive control interface that allows you to control the AC and select between three different drive modes (normal, sport and eco). The Juke also includes an optional navigation system on a five-inch color touch screen display and connection compatibility for iPod, Bluetooth and USB.\r\n\r\nThe Juke has a little kick to it too. The 2.5L engine offers drivers 188 horsepower and 177lb-ft of torque. The Juke can round corners well, crush U-turns with ease and accelerate quickly off the line.

Jenks, a 24-year-old, award-winning filmmaker, has gotten free reign from the network to create a unique series that shadows different individuals in order to showcase young, unique perspectives from all walks of life.\r\n\r\nThis idea of showcasing the individual reference frames of different types of people is something that Jenks is quite familiar with. When he was 18, Jenks checked into a nursing home and filmed his experiences. The resulting documentary, “<a href=\"http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/andrew-jenks-room-335/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Andrew Jenks, Room 335</a>” aired on HBO in 2008 and was well received by critics and audiences alike.\r\n\r\nAfter earning some acclaim cred for his directing skills, Jenks convinced ESPN to finance his second film “<a href=\"http://videos.nymag.com/video/The-Zen-of-Bobby-V#c=RRX6VFVF8B6L053H&amp;t=The%20Zen%20of%20Bobby%20V\" target=\"_blank\">The Zen of Bobby V</a>.” Jenks followed former Major League Baseball manager Bobby Valentine for eight months as he coached the 2007 Chiba Lotte Marines team in Japan. The film was an official selection at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and earned the young director more positive reviews.\r\n\r\nIn his new series, World of Jenks, Andrew Jenks spends one week experiencing life through someone else’s eyes. For each episode, Jenks moves in with a new stranger and captures their individual perspective on the world. The show will include the viewpoints of a hit rapper, an NFL cheerleader, a homeless girl, a young man with autism, an MMA cage fighter, an animal rescuer and other interesting subjects.\r\n\r\nWe had the chance to talk to Jenks about his previous films and the challenges the new series presents, including getting choked and slapped by rapper <a href=\"http://www.mainohustlehard.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Maino</a> on camera.\r\n\r\nCS: So how did you first get in to filmmaking?\r\n\r\nAJ: Probably when I was back in fourth or fifth grade. Because of my Dad’s work we travelled quite a bit, and there were really some places where people weren’t speaking English. And so we had this big bulky VHS camera that no one really used, and I would just walk around and film stuff and narrate while I was filming. You know there were silly little things happening I can’t remember what they were but the camera – not to sound cheesy – but the camera kind of became my best friend and I think that’s the root where this all started I would imagine.\r\n\r\nCS: So how did you originally come up with the idea for “Room 335”?\r\n\r\nAJ: I was in college, freshmen year dormitory with 300 strangers essentially. Everyone is looking towards the future and what’s next and what they’re majoring in and blah blah blah. All that was going on and my grandfather was living in nursing home facing dementia, also living with 300 strangers. And so I just kept thinking, you know I was close with him and that was kind of a tough time and I just kept thinking “what would it be like if a 19 year old moved into a nursing home?” These are the people that have lived life the longest so why not seek their advice and see what it’s like to be on the other side of the spectrum. So that’s kind of what inspired that documentary.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1792\" title=\"andrew-jenks-room-335\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/andrew-jenks-room-335.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" />\r\n\r\nCS: Were you surprised at all by the whole experience? Was it what you thought it would be or were there any big surprises there?\r\n\r\nAJ: Yeah, I was shocked. I went in thinking we were going to make a movie about old people and I left with some incredible friends, Tammy and Bill and Livy, just unbelievable people that have a lot to provide for society. I thought it was sad that they were put away in a corner in these little nursing homes and I was just really happy that we were able to document and capture their lives and then somehow showcase it all over the world which was definitely awesome. And then there were also the moments where I witnessed a friend pass away and we were in the hospital room with her, there were some dark dark moments as well.\r\n\r\nCS: So how did you go from that to “<a href=\"http://www.nerve.com/archived/blogs/tribeca-film-festival-review-the-zen-of-bobby-v\" target=\"_blank\">The Zen of Bobby V</a>” where you spent eight months in Japan?\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nAJ: I just love that story. I just always wanted – ever since he moved to Japan it was really a dream, I never thought I would actually do it. I always just thought it would be cool to make a documentary about an American-based home manager who in 2005 won the Japan Series and then became a demigod and all of a sudden had a burger named after him, a street named after him, and a beer named after him. It was like “Mr. Baseball” meets “Lost In Translation” and I just thought it was an incredible subject. Luckily because of “Room 335”, and HBO picking it up, I was able to get in the doors of ESPN and pitch them the idea and to meet Bobby Valentine and somehow that became a reality which is still – God I can’t believe – it’s the weirdest thing that it even happened.\r\n\r\nCS: Was Bobby cool with the whole process? Did you guys build a relationship when you were just talking about his experiences?\r\n\r\nAJ: Bobby – was he cool you mean at the beginning when we pitched to do it?\r\n\r\nCS: Yeah, and just throughout.\r\n\r\nAJ: He was really skeptical. He was – first off he just didn’t think it could be done because a lot of American – the media access here is different. To follow someone around like you would in a normal documentary doesn’t really exist, at least in the baseball culture. The media is very restricted so he had pretty big reservations about doing it. Also his big thing was that we had to be there for all eight months. In Japan you have to show that you’re working hard, so once he told me that I knew that we just couldn’t be there for a month and then another couple months and then come back at the end of the season. I realized that we’d have to be there for all eight months. And that was rather a tough thing to convince ESPN on, to let us be there the entire time. But it terms of Bobby’s reservations it was mainly making sure that we would adapt to the baseball culture, the Japanese culture, and not stick out like a sore thumb. Bobby can be very – I don’t know if you know Bobby, but he can be very clear when he’s trying to make a point.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1804\" title=\"25_bobbyv_lg\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/25_bobbyv_lg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"560\" height=\"293\" />\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs) How does the baseball culture differ? What are some primary things that you saw that were totally different than what we do here?\r\n\r\nAJ: Well,Manny Ramirez wouldn’t last a day in Japan.\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs)\r\n\r\nAJ: I mean the work ethic there in general is just – it’s been well documented. I remember there’s an American reporter who I befriended over there and he said “if you’re not busy at the office you have to at least look like you’re really stressed out and there’s a lot on your mind and you  are really busy otherwise people are going to think you’re lazy.” And that translates into the baseball world as well over there where you need to be practicing eight hours a day. If there’s no game, you have to be at the field four hours early. You should be at batting practice after the game as well. The work ethic there is just unbelievable to the point where a lot of Americans come to Japan to play and think that it’s silly and overdone and that you end up injuring yourself, which is debatable.\r\n\r\nCS: Gotcha.\r\n\r\nAJ: So that would be one of the big differences in terms of the actual game in Japan. I mean there’s a million – I could go on about that, there’s a million differences.\r\n\r\nCS: Gotcha.\r\n\r\nAJ: Crazy. Have you ever seen Japanese baseball? It’s wild.  The fans are like European soccer fans, it’s nuts.\r\n\r\nCS: Oh really? No I haven’t seen a live game.\r\n\r\nAJ: Oh my God, it’s the number one sport in Japan. It’s the only country where baseball is the number one sport, I mean they live and breathe it over there it’s like crazy town. I don’t know why I just said crazy town, it’s not crazy town, it’s just crazy.\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs)\r\n\r\nAJ: I really don’t know why I said that.\r\n\r\nCS: Andrew, what are some of your favorite films and favorite film makers?\r\n\r\nAJ:  I don’t want to be pretentious, but I love periods in film when people were doing things that others weren’t doing and so I’m very attracted to the – I’ve just been watching a lot of French New Wave stuff recently. So like <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Truffaut\" target=\"_blank\">François Truffaut</a> and like “<a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053198/\" target=\"_blank\">400 Blows</a>” and Godard and his movies and “<a href=\"http://www.criterion.com/films/764\" target=\"_blank\">Shoot the Piano Player</a>.” You know that French New Wave stuff I’m really digging right now so I guess that. I love “<a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0206634/\" target=\"_blank\">Children of Men</a>” it’s probably one of my favorite movies, that movie just scares the shit out of me.\r\n\r\nCS: That was a great movie, yeah. I have a lot of friends who hate that movie and I’m like, oh come on man!\r\n\r\nAJ: How can you hate that movie?\r\n\r\nCS: Yeah exactly. I mean-\r\n\r\nAJ: I’ve never heard of anyone hating that movie.\r\n\r\nCS: Really? I must have wack friends then.\r\n\r\nAJ: You have offensive friends (laughs).\r\n\r\nCS: I do. But people just think it’s too much of a downer, but I love it. Just the look and feel and Clive Owen, it’s just great.\r\n\r\nAJ: Oh yeah the concept, and they make it feel real. When you think about it it’s such a freaking absurd idea – whoa women can’t get pregnant? It’s almost ridiculous, but then they pulled it off. I remember I was watching it one day and I had to literally go outside twice just to make sure the world was still in order, it was freaking me out. I mean that movie, as you can tell it gets to me.\r\n\r\nCS: Yeah, totally. Baby Diego! (laughs)\r\n\r\nAJ: Yeah, that’s it.\r\n\r\nCS: So with the World of Jenks, you’re following around a bunch of different people and I know you’ve kind of made the distinction between filmmaking and reality TV, that you don’t necessarily see it as something that follows that reality formula per se. I just wanted to ask you, what is that distinction? Is there a fine line? Is there a clear delineation? Like right now we’re following someone around, we’re clearly making a film, this isn’t some reality TV contest. Do you get offended when someone refers to your upcoming show as something that would be reality TV?\r\n\r\nAJ: I wouldn’t say I get offended, but it definitely irks me inside and my stomach rumbles and I’m like “oh man, are they really calling this a reality show?” Just because I think – and there’s nothing wrong with it – I just want to be a filmmaker down the road and I want to make movies and it scares me sometimes. Because sometimes reality TV can have a negative connotation to filmmakers and so I get a little bit worried about that sometimes. But at the end of the day MTV is giving me total creative control and I’m very proud of every episode that we’ve done. So if people want to call it reality television that’s fine, I understand that it is I guess. It’s real people doing real things and that’s what reality TV is supposed to be. It’s on television so I can’t call it a movie and I can’t call it a film.\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs)\r\n\r\nAJ: So if anything I like to consider them short films, but there are still outbreaks, there are still commercials, so it is what it is.\r\n\r\nCS: So in all your films you kind of have this theme where you try to understand different people’s frame of reference and someone else’s reality. What is it about your method of storytelling that always wants to get that authentic view of what it’s like to see the world through someone else’s eyes?\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-1791 alignright\" title=\"Andrew Jenks - World of Jenks\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Andrew-Jenks-World-of-Jenks.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"234\" />AJ: That’s good question, I’ve never heard that. I think just – this might be a little dark but as a kid I moved around a lot and I was a lot of times in classrooms where people were speaking in a language that I didn’t understand and that can be a pretty lonely place to be. So I think I just always had a curiosity about “gee I wonder what that person’s thinking? I wonder what that person’s doing?” Just because I traveled so much and I’ve always just kind of been an observer. I think that curiosity has always been with me ever since I moved to Nepal when I was two years old so I feel like it’s deep down in my DNA. I think so, I don’t know, does that make sense? What do you think?\r\n\r\nCS: That makes sense, I see where you come from. So to go back to the authenticity point; I know you’re trying to get as close as you can to someone else’s reference frame, but when you’re actually making a film and you have the crew following someone around, how do you break down that veil that people would naturally throw up if they had a camera following them around and really try to get into engaging conversation in more of a personalized view of what their world is like but with the constant knowledge that they know they’re being filmed? How do you get around that?\r\n\r\nAJ: Well what we do is we make them forget it. And it’s like what Maino said, after a few days of us hanging out, he was talking to someone on the phone and they said what you just said and he goes “well you know what the cameras are to me? They’re invisible.”\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs)\r\n\r\nAJ: And it’s just like – you have to watch that line because Maino is funny – but you know we take a fly-on-the-wall approach where we have times that our characters are wirelessly miked, our subjects I should say are wirelessly miked, and we make sure that our cameras are not in your face. We try and keep them at a distance until you’re comfortable. Usually by the second or third day I’ve heard every single subject say “damn I forgot that we’re filming.” And I think another big part of it also is that I am in it as well and by me being in it, I’m also directing it as the same time and so I think there’s a fourth wall that’s broken and they’re able to just totally trust myself and the crew. It’s almost like the crew is part of the experience for them. With every subject, when we’re done shooting they don’t just hug me, they hug everyone that works on the show. I’m also in front of the camera and so that I think – you need the subject to trust you to really go to those places and to have those conversations that you’re talking about. And so I think that by me being in front of the camera and being in that vulnerable place where you’re on camera, I think that makes them trust me more than if I were behind the camera which is what I probably prefer to do. If I were behind the camera I’d be in a safe zone, I wouldn’t be out there like they are so I feel like we’re both part of the interview as well.\r\n\r\nCS: Now when you prepare to spend time with different types of people – MMA cage fighter, young homeless woman, pro cheerleader – is there a certain degree of preparation that you do so that you can have these engaging conversations or is it just spontaneous, however it develops from the situation you find yourself in?\r\n\r\nAJ: I have an editor that cuts down. We film them. We film the long interview with them and then I have an editor cut it down to about eight minutes and I watch that till I get the gist and the basics. Also that’s how I approve of the subject as well. So that’s how much I know going into it and then from there my team takes over where they figure out the details of their lives and where we’ll be going so that we just know what we’re doing when we go out on the road. So I only base it on that five to 12 minute casting tape that one of our producers film. And they’ll give you dozens of examples, like for the MMA fighters, there was probably a dozen fighters that we looked at and there was just this one guy that stood out totally and that’s who we went with. And that was all I knew about him was those eight minutes.\r\n\r\nCS: And so you get the final call on choosing the subjects.\r\n\r\nAJ: Oh yeah definitely. I mean I definitely have to get them approved by the higher ups, but MTV’s been, and I’m not just saying this, they’ve been great. I think I’ve picked out every subject, myself and my team we’ve just picked out every subject. It’s not like MTV says you’ve got to do this or you’ve got to do that. People think that for some reason but it’s never happened at all.\r\n\r\nCS: So I’ve read before that you kind of view this project as a forum for showcasing voices that aren’t typically heard. You’re looking at this as sort of telling stories to your generation and showing people of a certain age what it’s like to have these different experiences. Now what is it about – is it just because you’re a young filmmaker? Is it the fact that young voices don’t really have a lot of forums? How does this project really help you speak to your specific age group?\r\n\r\nAJ: Well I don’t know any other outlet that exists that’s bigger than MTV that reaches my generation and I don’t know of any other show that exists that is able to capture unique individuals, young people, and do so in every episode with a totally different person who lives in a totally different world and for me that’s just a perfect match.\r\n\r\nCS: Okay. Thanks for your time Andrew. I did want to ask just real quick, what was it like when Maino gave you the choke-and-slap? I don’t know if that was a freaky experience or what but any quick words on that?\r\n\r\nAJ: Well you know he just has this thing where he sticks up his middle finger and I was challenging him on why he does that when he takes photos. If he’s an inspiration to all these kids, why does he do that? And I think I just judged him too quickly because he said “you need to come to where I’m from and really understand why I do the things that I do.” And I take responsibility for judging him too quickly and when we went to Bed Sty, where he’s from, I just saw how these people looked up to him. Their jaws dropped and he explained to me that he can’t go out on TV or be on the radio and start acting totally proper and start wearing a suit because then they wouldn’t identify with him. So he still needs to do those things so they know that he’s still the Maino that they grew up with, and I thought that was a really important point. The thing about that fight is it’s not the fight, it’s what came out of the fight that’s important for me.\r\n\r\nYou can see clips of the show on MTV.com or check out the first episode right here:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"512\" height=\"319\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"configParams=id%3D1647014%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideolist%3Amtv.com%3A1647014\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.com:1647014\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"512\" height=\"319\" src=\"http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:videolist:mtv.com:1647014\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"configParams=id%3D1647014%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideolist%3Amtv.com%3A1647014\"></embed></object>\r\n<div style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 4px; width: 500px; text-align: center; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"><a style=\"color: #439cd8;\" href=\"http://www.mtv.com/shows/world_of_jenks/series.jhtml\" target=\"_blank\">World of Jenks</a> - <a style=\"color: #439cd8;\" href=\"http://www.mtv.com/ontv/\" target=\"_blank\">MTV Shows</a></div>','Interview with Andrew Jenks, Creator of MTV’s World of Jenks','','inherit','open','open','','1789-revision-12','','','2010-09-14 11:19:37','2010-09-14 18:19:37','',1789,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1789-revision-12/',0,'revision','',0),(2063,2,'2010-09-27 16:11:02','2010-09-27 23:11:02','<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2038\" title=\"nandots - soccer_ball_m\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/nandots-soccer_ball_m.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" />When I first received a sample of <a href=\"http://www.thenanodots.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Nanodots</a>, a set of little magnetic balls that can be put together to make interesting patterns and shapes, I didn’t think reviewing the little dots would take that much time.

Martino competed in the 2001 World Youth Championship and appeared in eight games for the U.S. national team.  Martino got his first cap in 2002, and in 2005 he scored a goal against Panama during a World Cup qualifier match.\r\n\r\nAfter retiring from soccer in 2008, Martino became an analyst and commentator for MLS games and the World Cup. He worked at ESPN and the <a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Soccer Channel</a> and also provided color commentary for Philadelphia Union matches. In 2010, Martino launched a new show on the Fox Soccer Channel, <a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/video/shows/soccer-talk-live\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Soccer Talk Live</em></a>, an hour-long program that’s part entertainment and part soccer discussion.\r\n\r\nWe got the chance to catch up with Martino to discuss his new show and his thoughts on the World Cup and the state of US soccer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Who was your favorite player to watch in the World Cup?</strong>\r\nDavid Villa for Spain. He is a pure goal scorer with some serious bravado. It’s just hard to not smile when he gets the ball because you know something ridiculous is about to happen.\r\n\r\n<strong>Did World Cup fever lead to increased interest in the MLS?</strong>\r\nDefinitely. Not only were there several World Cup starts from all over the World that came back to MLS after the Cup was over, but a lot of people got that soccer bug during the World Cup and got their fix from watching MLS action.\r\n\r\n<strong>What was it like to score an international goal in a World Cup qualifier?</strong>\r\nIt was amazing. I broke several windows and destroyed my parents’ back yard imagining that moment over and over again in my head when I was little. To see that reoccurring dream of wearing the #10 for my country and scoring a goal like that become reality was second to none.\r\n\r\n<strong>How did it feel to have your professional career cut short by injury?</strong>\r\nIt was a really sad moment for me. To spend your entire life obsessing over something you love, and doing anything you can to get it, to only have it taken away from you because of something you can’t control is a very hard thing to deal with. How I go on is by being grateful of getting there and having a career, and looking forward to the next challenge.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tell us a little bit a about your new show, <em>Soccer Talk Live</em>. It’s kind of a combination of soccer news and pop culture, right?</strong>\r\nThe idea of the show is to put soccer at the head table with other pop culture and entertainment trends where it belongs. The show will be a soccer show first and foremost, but it will also try and thread together the world’s greatest sport with other aspects of mainstream culture, aspects that fans don’t realize connect back to the beautiful game. It will be the coming out party for a game that has already come out but most people just haven’t been paying attention.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why do American soccer players have such a hard time completing quality passes?</strong>\r\nBad eye-sight from sitting too close to the TV? No, probably because our decision making in fast paced crucial moments is not as hard-wired as it is in other countries where that and technique are burned in kids minds from very young ages.\r\n\r\n<strong>Will Jürgen Klinsmann ever coach the US national squad?</strong>\r\nI’m starting to think no. If we didn’t get him this time, I think it’s a wrap.\r\n\r\n<strong>When will the US national team get over the hump and really compete with the big boys on the international stage?</strong>\r\nWhen we stop losing some of our best athletes to other sports.\r\n\r\n<em>Soccer Talk Live</em> airs on Monday nights at 7 p.m. EST on Fox Soccer Channel.

You got a bunch of lazy, formulaic reality shows (any reality show not starring Gordon Ramsey or the New York Jets is not worth your time). Then there’s all those sappy sitcoms and tiresome hour-long dramas on network (seriously, how many CSIs/Law and Orders can they churn out?). With all the clutter on TV, some quality shows are bound to slip through the cracks. If you like consuming television programs on a season-per-day basis, here are 10 shows you need add to your NetFlix queue and plow through (in no particular order).\r\n<h2>Dexter</h2>\r\nI was a little late to the Dexter party. I just couldn’t get into it at first. I thought it was a dark comedy that was too heavy on the dark and too light on the comedy. But it’s a good show, man. The supporting characters/storylines are all a little wack (I’m lookin’ at you Doakes), and the flashback scenes with Dexter’s Dad can get a little cheesy, but Michael C. Hall makes it all worthwhile. The last season with Jon Lithgow was intense as hell, and the new season just got rolling. It’s a good time to get yourself all caught up.\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/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Wire</h2>\r\nIf you’re sick and tired of hearing people say that The Wire is the greatest show of all time, shut the hell up. People gush endlessly about this show for good reason. If it’s not the best show ever then it’s in the top three for damn sure. Why? It’s just so well-done. The writing is absolutely fantastic. You have deep and honest sociological insights wrapped up in a tight dialogue that’s spoken by dozens of characters whose arcs enjoy multiple seasons’ worth of development. Plus, there’s McNutty.\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/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Shield</h2>\r\nComparing The Shield to The Wire is unfair. It’s apples and oranges, really. The Wire tinkers with root-causing systemic societal woes, but The Shield is a much more individualized, inward psychological study of badass anti-hero Vic Mackey. The series sets Mackey up as this terribly corrupt yet loveably effective detective who does some disgraceful things for mostly the right reasons. Each season is a little different, but the intensity of Michael Chiklis is the one constant you can look forward to throughout the series.\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/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Breaking Bad</h2>\r\nMoody and visceral, Breaking Bad is simply amazing television. The pacing, the uniqueness of each episode, the characters, everything is incredible. The funny parts are hilarious, the suspense isn’t contrived and the oh-shit moments are genuinely jaw dropping. There’s a reason why Bryan Cranston has won three-consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Mr. White. Watching the Chemistry teacher turned meth chef’s gradual transition into a total gangsta is must-see TV.\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/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Sons of Anarchy</h2>\r\nI don’t ride motorcycles and I don’t wear leather jackets. I do love the film Green Street Hooligans though (Elijah Wood is still a pansy but we’ll gloss over that for now), and anyone who’s seen that movie knows that Charlie Hunnam <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APb7TeeN8Tg\" target=\"_blank\">plays the tough guy role well</a>. The Brit actor carries Sons of Anarchy almost single handedly. Sure, tough-old-lady Peggy Bundy and ringleader Hellboy are cool too, but the show revolves around his character Jax. Fun fact: Kurt Sutter, the show’s creator, is married to Katey Segal and also wrote for The Shield.\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/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Mad Men</h2>\r\nHere’s another critically/culturally acclaimed show that lives up to the hype. Sure all the boozing and womanizing and goofy 60s mores get all the attention, but Mad Men is full of rich subtleties. The show doesn’t stuff character traits and conflicts down your throat. There’s a whole lot of subtext to play with. Don Draper is also one of the coolest TV characters of all time. It’s hard to see Jon Hamm as anything but Draper at this point. If you haven’t seen every episode of the three-time Emmy award winning outstanding drama series, get on that shit.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" 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/FZwB-64x_jg?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/FZwB-64x_jg?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Californication</h2>\r\nPart romance, part ridiculous Californication is great television. David Duchovny shows his acting range by playing an artsy, boozin’ sex-crazed maniac. Okay so he’s playing himself, but he does it really, really well. His little daughter has a voice that’ll make you wanna jump out a window, but with all the T &amp; A, funny dialogue and family dysfunction, the three seasons of this show are certainly worth a lazy weekend investment.\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/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Sopranos</h2>\r\nI know what you’re thinking… The Sopranos was a good show? No shit, bro, thanks for the memo! The reason the show’s on this list is cause I know there are people out there that letsome episodes (or maybe even seasons) of The Sopranos slip through the cracks. There was a two year break between seasons 4 and 5 and another two year gap between seasons 5 and 6. Don’t try to catch reruns on basic cable. Do the show some justice and get fully caught up on any episodes you missed.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" 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/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>True Blood</h2>\r\nIs it gay? Yes, yes it is. Is Anna Paquin hot? Sadly, no. Even with those two strikes, True Blood is still an interesting show. I’m as vampired out as the next guy, but there are some fun characters and storylines to get behind in this series. Catch up on it if you haven’t already.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" 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/2tKCAtUJiOU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/2tKCAtUJiOU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>24</h2>\r\nLook, we all know that 24 starting sucking bad (real bad) in those last few seasons. But think back to a different time. Think back to a time when news outlets were debating the finer points of torture to keep our country safe. Things were different back then. Threats we\'re everywhere and the greater LA area always seemed to be a target. If a nuclear bomb or chemical attack is about to go off in Chattsworth, Valencia or Encino, there\'s really only one guy you\'d want to save Southern California... Jack Bauer when he\'s sober. I had a hard time including this show on the list, cause it got really, really bad. Unwatchable even. But those first couple/few seasons were like crack, man. You needed that shit. Doot...Doot...Doot...Doot. Y\'know what I\'m talking about. It\'s hard to say when this show lost it\'s way, but the first two-three seasons are definitely worth a NetFlix push.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" 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/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','10 TV Shows to Put in Your NetFlix Queue ','','publish','open','open','','10-tv-shows-to-put-in-your-netflix-queue','','','2011-02-07 17:36:46','2011-02-08 01:36:46','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2096',0,'post','',6),(2097,2,'2010-09-30 10:48:12','2010-09-30 17:48:12','10 TV Shows to Put in Your NetFlix Queue\n\nThere’s a ton of garbage on television these days.

You got a bunch of lazy, formulaic reality shows (any reality show not starring Gordon Ramsey or the New York Jets is not worth your time). Then there’s all those sappy sitcoms and tiresome hour-long dramas on network (seriously, how many CSIs/Law and Orders can they churn out?). With all the clutter on TV, some quality shows are bound to slip through the cracks. If you like consuming television programs on a season-per-day basis, here are 10 shows you need add to your NetFlix queue and plow through.\r\n\r\nDexter\r\nI was a little late to the Dexter party. I just couldn’t get into it at first. I thought it was a dark comedy that was too heavy on the dark and too light on the comedy. But it’s a good show, man. The supporting characters/storylines are all a little wack (I’m lookin’ at you Doakes), and the flashback scenes with Dexter’s Dad can get a little cheesy, but Michael C. Hall makes it all worthwhile. The last season with Jon Lithgow was intense as hell, and the new season is starting in a few weeks. It’s a good time to get yourself all caught up.\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/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\nThe Wire\r\nIf you’re sick and tired of hearing people say that The Wire is the greatest show of all time, shut the hell up. People gush endlessly about this show for good reason. If it’s not the best show ever then it’s in the top three for damn sure. Why? It’s just so well-done. The writing is absolutely fantastic. You have deep and honest sociological insights wrapped up in a tight dialogue that’s spoken by dozens of characters whose arcs enjoy multiple seasons’ worth of development. Plus, there’s McNutty.\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/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\nThe Shield\r\nComparing The Shield to The Wire is unfair. It’s apples and oranges, really. The Wire tinkers with root-causing systemic societal woes, but The Shield is a much more individualized, inward psychological study of badass anti-hero Vic Mackey. The series sets Mackey up as this terribly corrupt yet loveably effective detective who does some disgraceful things for mostly the right reasons. Each season is a little different, but the intensity of Michael Chiklis is the one constant you can look forward to throughout the series.\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/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\nBreaking Bad\r\nMoody and visceral, Breaking Bad is simply amazing television. The pacing, the uniqueness of each episode, the characters, everything is incredible. The funny parts are hilarious, the suspense isn’t contrived and the oh-shit moments are genuinely jaw dropping. There’s a reason why Bryan Cranston has won three-consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Mr. White.

You got a bunch of lazy, formulaic reality shows (any reality show not starring Gordon Ramsey or the New York Jets is not worth your time). Then there’s all those sappy sitcoms and tiresome hour-long dramas on network (seriously, how many CSIs/Law and Orders can they churn out?). With all the clutter on TV, some quality shows are bound to slip through the cracks. If you like consuming television programs on a season-per-day basis, here are 10 shows you need add to your NetFlix queue and plow through (in no particular order).\r\n<h2>Dexter</h2>\r\nI was a little late to the Dexter party. I just couldn’t get into it at first. I thought it was a dark comedy that was too heavy on the dark and too light on the comedy. But it’s a good show, man. The supporting characters/storylines are all a little wack (I’m lookin’ at you Doakes), and the flashback scenes with Dexter’s Dad can get a little cheesy, but Michael C. Hall makes it all worthwhile. The last season with Jon Lithgow was intense as hell, and the new season is starting in a few weeks. It’s a good time to get yourself all caught up.\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/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Wire</h2>\r\nIf you’re sick and tired of hearing people say that The Wire is the greatest show of all time, shut the hell up. People gush endlessly about this show for good reason. If it’s not the best show ever then it’s in the top three for damn sure. Why? It’s just so well-done. The writing is absolutely fantastic. You have deep and honest sociological insights wrapped up in a tight dialogue that’s spoken by dozens of characters whose arcs enjoy multiple seasons’ worth of development. Plus, there’s McNutty.\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/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Shield</h2>\r\nComparing The Shield to The Wire is unfair. It’s apples and oranges, really. The Wire tinkers with root-causing systemic societal woes, but The Shield is a much more individualized, inward psychological study of badass anti-hero Vic Mackey. The series sets Mackey up as this terribly corrupt yet loveably effective detective who does some disgraceful things for mostly the right reasons. Each season is a little different, but the intensity of Michael Chiklis is the one constant you can look forward to throughout the series.\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/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Breaking Bad</h2>\r\nMoody and visceral, Breaking Bad is simply amazing television. The pacing, the uniqueness of each episode, the characters, everything is incredible. The funny parts are hilarious, the suspense isn’t contrived and the oh-shit moments are genuinely jaw dropping. There’s a reason why Bryan Cranston has won three-consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Mr. White. Watching the Chemistry teacher turned meth chef’s gradual transition into a total badass is must-see TV.\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/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Sons of Anarchy</h2>\r\nI don’t ride motorcycles and I don’t wear leather jackets. I do love the film Green Street Hooligans though (Elijah Wood is still a pansy but we’ll gloss over that for now), and anyone who’s seen that movie knows that Charlie Hunnam <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APb7TeeN8Tg\" target=\"_blank\">plays the tough guy role well</a>. The Brit actor carries Sons of Anarchy almost single handedly. Sure, badass Peggy Bundy and ringleader Hellboy are cool too, but the show revolves around his character Jax. Fun fact: Kurt Sutter, the show’s creator, is married to Katey Segal and also wrote for The Shield.\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/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Mad Men</h2>\r\nHere’s another critically/culturally acclaimed show that lives up to the hype. Sure all the boozing and womanizing and goofy 60s mores get all the attention, but Mad Men is full of rich subtleties. The show doesn’t stuff character traits and conflicts down your throat. There’s a whole lot of subtext to play with. Don Draper is also one of the coolest TV characters of all time. It’s hard to see Jon Hamm as anything but Draper at this point. If you haven’t seen every episode of the three-time Emmy award winning outstanding drama series, get on that shit.\r\n<h2>Californication</h2>\r\nPart romance, part ridiculous Californication is great television. David Duchovny shows his acting range by playing an artsy, boozin’ sex-crazed maniac. Okay so he’s playing himself, but he does it really, really well. His little daughter has a voice that’ll make you wanna jump out a window, but with all the T &amp; A, funny dialogue and family dysfunction, the three seasons of this show are certainly worth a lazy weekend investment.\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/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Sopranos</h2>\r\nI know what you’re thinking… The Sopranos was a good show? No shit, bro, thanks for the memo! The reason the show’s on this list is cause I know there are people out there that had some episodes (or maybe even seasons) of The Sopranos slip through the cracks. There was a two year break between seasons 4 and 5 and another two year gap between seasons 5 and 6. Don’t try to catch reruns on basic cable. To the show some justice and get fully caught up on any episodes you missed.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" 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/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>True Blood</h2>\r\nIs it gay?

Martino competed in the 2001 World Youth Championship and appeared in eight games for the U.S. national team.  Martino got his first cap in 2002, and in 2005 he scored a goal against Panama during a World Cup qualifier match.\r\n\r\nAfter retiring from soccer in 2008, Martino became an analyst and commentator for MLS games and the World Cup. He worked at ESPN and the <a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Soccer Channel</a> and also provided color commentary for Philadelphia Union matches. In 2010, Martino launched a new show on the Fox Soccer Channel, <a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/video/shows/soccer-talk-live\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Soccer Talk Live</em></a>, an hour-long program that’s part entertainment and part soccer discussion.\r\n\r\nWe got the chance to catch up with Martino to discuss his new show and his thoughts on the World Cup and the state of US soccer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Who was your favorite player to watch in the World Cup?</strong>\r\nDavid Villa for Spain. He is a pure goal scorer with some serious bravado. It’s just hard to not smile when he gets the ball because you know something ridiculous is about to happen.\r\n\r\n<strong>Did World Cup fever lead to increased interest in the MLS?</strong>\r\nDefinitely. Not only were there several World Cup starts from all over the World that came back to MLS after the Cup was over, but a lot of people got that soccer bug during the World Cup and got their fix from watching MLS action.\r\n\r\n<strong>What was it like to score an international goal in a World Cup qualifier?</strong>\r\nIt was amazing. I broke several windows and destroyed my parents’ back yard imagining that moment over and over again in my head when I was little. To see that reoccurring dream of wearing the #10 for my country and scoring a goal like that become reality was second to none.\r\n\r\n<strong>How did it feel to have your professional career cut short by injury?</strong>\r\nIt was a really sad moment for me. To spend your entire life obsessing over something you love, and doing anything you can to get it, to only have it taken away from you because of something you can’t control is a very hard thing to deal with. How I go on is by being grateful of getting there and having a career, and looking forward to the next challenge.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tell us a little bit a about your new show, <em>Soccer Talk Live</em>. It’s kind of a combination of soccer news and pop culture, right?</strong>\r\nThe idea of the show is to put soccer at the head table with other pop culture and entertainment trends where it belongs. The show will be a soccer show first and foremost, but it will also try and thread together the world’s greatest sport with other aspects of mainstream culture, aspects that fans don’t realize connect back to the beautiful game. It will be the coming out party for a game that has already come out but most people just haven’t been paying attention.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why do American soccer players have such a hard time completing quality passes?</strong>\r\nBad eye-sight from sitting too close to the TV? No, probably because our decision making in fast paced crucial moments is not as hard-wired as it is in other countries where that and technique are burned in kids minds from very young ages.\r\n\r\n<strong>Will Jürgen Klinsmann ever coach the US national squad?</strong>\r\nI’m starting to think no. If we didn’t get him this time, I think it’s a wrap.\r\n\r\n<strong>When will the US national team get over the hump and really compete with the big boys on the international stage?</strong>\r\nWhen we stop losing some of our best athletes to other sports.','Interview with Kyle Martino, Host of Soccer Talk Live ','','inherit','open','open','','2073-revision-2','','','2010-09-29 15:46:04','2010-09-29 22:46:04','',2073,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2073-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(2102,2,'2010-09-30 11:20:25','2010-09-30 18:20:25','','10 TV Shows','','inherit','open','open','','10-tv-shows','','','2010-09-30 11:20:25','2010-09-30 18:20:25','',2096,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/10-TV-Shows.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2103,2,'2010-09-30 10:54:40','2010-09-30 17:54:40','There’s a ton of garbage on television these days.

You got a bunch of lazy, formulaic reality shows (any reality show not starring Gordon Ramsey or the New York Jets is not worth your time). Then there’s all those sappy sitcoms and tiresome hour-long dramas on network (seriously, how many CSIs/Law and Orders can they churn out?). With all the clutter on TV, some quality shows are bound to slip through the cracks. If you like consuming television programs on a season-per-day basis, here are 10 shows you need add to your NetFlix queue and plow through (in no particular order).\r\n<h2>Dexter</h2>\r\nI was a little late to the Dexter party. I just couldn’t get into it at first. I thought it was a dark comedy that was too heavy on the dark and too light on the comedy. But it’s a good show, man. The supporting characters/storylines are all a little wack (I’m lookin’ at you Doakes), and the flashback scenes with Dexter’s Dad can get a little cheesy, but Michael C. Hall makes it all worthwhile. The last season with Jon Lithgow was intense as hell, and the new season is starting in a few weeks. It’s a good time to get yourself all caught up.\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/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Wire</h2>\r\nIf you’re sick and tired of hearing people say that The Wire is the greatest show of all time, shut the hell up. People gush endlessly about this show for good reason. If it’s not the best show ever then it’s in the top three for damn sure. Why? It’s just so well-done. The writing is absolutely fantastic.

It’s apples and oranges, really. The Wire tinkers with root-causing systemic societal woes, but The Shield is a much more individualized, inward psychological study of badass anti-hero Vic Mackey. The series sets Mackey up as this terribly corrupt yet loveably effective detective who does some disgraceful things for mostly the right reasons. Each season is a little different, but the intensity of Michael Chiklis is the one constant you can look forward to throughout the series.\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/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Breaking Bad</h2>\r\nMoody and visceral, Breaking Bad is simply amazing television. The pacing, the uniqueness of each episode, the characters, everything is incredible. The funny parts are hilarious, the suspense isn’t contrived and the oh-shit moments are genuinely jaw dropping. There’s a reason why Bryan Cranston has won three-consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Mr. White.

Sure all the boozing and womanizing and goofy 60s mores get all the attention, but Mad Men is full of rich subtleties. The show doesn’t stuff character traits and conflicts down your throat. There’s a whole lot of subtext to play with. Don Draper is also one of the coolest TV characters of all time. It’s hard to see Jon Hamm as anything but Draper at this point. If you haven’t seen every episode of the three-time Emmy award winning outstanding drama series, get on that shit.\r\n<h2>Californication</h2>\r\nPart romance, part ridiculous Californication is great television. David Duchovny shows his acting range by playing an artsy, boozin’ sex-crazed maniac. Okay so he’s playing himself, but he does it really, really well. His little daughter has a voice that’ll make you wanna jump out a window, but with all the T &amp; A, funny dialogue and family dysfunction, the three seasons of this show are certainly worth a lazy weekend investment.\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/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Sopranos</h2>\r\nI know what you’re thinking… The Sopranos was a good show?

But think back to a different time. Think back to a time when news outlets were debating the finer points of torture to keep our country safe. Things were different back then. Threats we\'re everywhere and the greater LA area always seemed to be a target. If a nuclear bomb or chemical attack is about to go off in Chattsworth, Valencia or Encino, there\'s really only one guy you want to save Southern California... Jack Bauer when he\'s sober. I had a hard time including this show on the list, cause it got really, really bad. Unwatchable even. But those first couple/few seasons were like crack, man. You needed that shit. Doot...Doot...Doot...Doot. Y\'know what I\'m talking about. It\'s hard to say when this show lost it\'s way, but the first two-three seasons are definitely worth a NetFlix push.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" 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/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','10 TV Shows to Put in Your NetFlix Queue ','','inherit','open','open','','2096-revision-6','','','2010-09-30 11:21:22','2010-09-30 18:21:22','',2096,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2096-revision-6/',0,'revision','',0),(2105,2,'2010-09-30 11:21:27','2010-09-30 18:21:27','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2102 alignnone\" title=\"10 TV Shows\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/10-TV-Shows.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"288\" />\r\n\r\nThere’s a ton of garbage on television these days.

But think back to a different time. Think back to a time when news outlets were debating the finer points of torture to keep our country safe. Things were different back then. Threats we\'re everywhere and the greater LA area always seemed to be a target. If a nuclear bomb or chemical attack is about to go off in Chattsworth, Valencia or Encino, there\'s really only one guy you want to save Southern California... Jack Bauer when he\'s sober. I had a hard time including this show on the list, cause it got really, really bad. Unwatchable even. But those first couple/few seasons were like crack, man. You needed that shit. Doot...Doot...Doot...Doot. Y\'know what I\'m talking about. It\'s hard to say when this show lost it\'s way, but the first two-three seasons are definitely worth a NetFlix push.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" 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/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','10 TV Shows to Put in Your NetFlix Queue ','','inherit','open','open','','2096-revision-7','','','2010-09-30 11:21:27','2010-09-30 18:21:27','',2096,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2096-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(2106,2,'2010-09-30 10:48:58','2010-09-30 17:48:58','It’s time to grab your explosives and duct tape and join Jamie Hyneman, Adam Savage and the rest of the <a href=\"http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/mythbusters/ \" target=\"_blank\">Mythbusters</a> crew as they put urban legends to the test with a series of ridiculous experiments.

You got a bunch of lazy, formulaic reality shows (any reality show not starring Gordon Ramsey or the New York Jets is not worth your time). Then there’s all those sappy sitcoms and tiresome hour-long dramas on network (seriously, how many CSIs/Law and Orders can they churn out?). With all the clutter on TV, some quality shows are bound to slip through the cracks. If you like consuming television programs on a season-per-day basis, here are 10 shows you need add to your NetFlix queue and plow through (in no particular order).\n<h2>Dexter</h2>\nI was a little late to the Dexter party. I just couldn’t get into it at first. I thought it was a dark comedy that was too heavy on the dark and too light on the comedy. But it’s a good show, man. The supporting characters/storylines are all a little wack (I’m lookin’ at you Doakes), and the flashback scenes with Dexter’s Dad can get a little cheesy, but Michael C. Hall makes it all worthwhile. The last season with Jon Lithgow was intense as hell, and the new season just got rolling. It’s a good time to get yourself all caught up.\n\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/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n<h2>The Wire</h2>\nIf you’re sick and tired of hearing people say that The Wire is the greatest show of all time, shut the hell up. People gush endlessly about this show for good reason. If it’s not the best show ever then it’s in the top three for damn sure. Why? It’s just so well-done. The writing is absolutely fantastic. You have deep and honest sociological insights wrapped up in a tight dialogue that’s spoken by dozens of characters whose arcs enjoy multiple seasons’ worth of development. Plus, there’s McNutty.\n\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/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n<h2>The Shield</h2>\nComparing The Shield to The Wire is unfair. It’s apples and oranges, really. The Wire tinkers with root-causing systemic societal woes, but The Shield is a much more individualized, inward psychological study of badass anti-hero Vic Mackey. The series sets Mackey up as this terribly corrupt yet loveably effective detective who does some disgraceful things for mostly the right reasons. Each season is a little different, but the intensity of Michael Chiklis is the one constant you can look forward to throughout the series.\n\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/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n<h2>Breaking Bad</h2>\nMoody and visceral, Breaking Bad is simply amazing television. The pacing, the uniqueness of each episode, the characters, everything is incredible. The funny parts are hilarious, the suspense isn’t contrived and the oh-shit moments are genuinely jaw dropping. There’s a reason why Bryan Cranston has won three-consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Mr. White. Watching the Chemistry teacher turned meth chef’s gradual transition into a total gangsta is must-see TV.\n\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/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n<h2>Sons of Anarchy</h2>\nI don’t ride motorcycles and I don’t wear leather jackets. I do love the film Green Street Hooligans though (Elijah Wood is still a pansy but we’ll gloss over that for now), and anyone who’s seen that movie knows that Charlie Hunnam <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APb7TeeN8Tg\" target=\"_blank\">plays the tough guy role well</a>. The Brit actor carries Sons of Anarchy almost single handedly. Sure, tough-old-lady Peggy Bundy and ringleader Hellboy are cool too, but the show revolves around his character Jax. Fun fact: Kurt Sutter, the show’s creator, is married to Katey Segal and also wrote for The Shield.\n\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/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n<h2>Mad Men</h2>\nHere’s another critically/culturally acclaimed show that lives up to the hype. Sure all the boozing and womanizing and goofy 60s mores get all the attention, but Mad Men is full of rich subtleties. The show doesn’t stuff character traits and conflicts down your throat. There’s a whole lot of subtext to play with. Don Draper is also one of the coolest TV characters of all time. It’s hard to see Jon Hamm as anything but Draper at this point. If you haven’t seen every episode of the three-time Emmy award winning outstanding drama series, get on that shit.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" 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/FZwB-64x_jg?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/FZwB-64x_jg?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n<h2>Californication</h2>\nPart romance, part ridiculous Californication is great television. David Duchovny shows his acting range by playing an artsy, boozin’ sex-crazed maniac. Okay so he’s playing himself, but he does it really, really well. His little daughter has a voice that’ll make you wanna jump out a window, but with all the T &amp; A, funny dialogue and family dysfunction, the three seasons of this show are certainly worth a lazy weekend investment.\n\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/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n<h2>The Sopranos</h2>\nI know what you’re thinking… The Sopranos was a good show? No shit, bro, thanks for the memo! The reason the show’s on this list is cause I know there are people out there that letsome episodes (or maybe even seasons) of The Sopranos slip through the cracks. There was a two year break between seasons 4 and 5 and another two year gap between seasons 5 and 6. Don’t try to catch reruns on basic cable. Do the show some justice and get fully caught up on any episodes you missed.\n\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" 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/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n<h2>True Blood</h2>\nIs it gay?

Martino competed in the 2001 World Youth Championship and appeared in eight games for the U.S. national team.  Martino got his first cap in 2002, and in 2005 he scored a goal against Panama during a World Cup qualifier match.\r\n\r\nAfter retiring from soccer in 2008, Martino became an analyst and commentator for MLS games and the World Cup. He worked at ESPN and the <a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Soccer Channel</a> and also provided color commentary for Philadelphia Union matches. In 2010, Martino launched a new show on the Fox Soccer Channel, <a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/video/shows/soccer-talk-live\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Soccer Talk Live</em></a>, an hour-long program that’s part entertainment and part soccer discussion.\r\n\r\nWe got the chance to catch up with Martino to discuss his new show and his thoughts on the World Cup and the state of US soccer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Who was your favorite player to watch in the World Cup?</strong>\r\nDavid Villa for Spain. He is a pure goal scorer with some serious bravado. It’s just hard to not smile when he gets the ball because you know something ridiculous is about to happen.\r\n\r\n<strong>Did World Cup fever lead to increased interest in the MLS?</strong>\r\nDefinitely. Not only were there several World Cup starts from all over the World that came back to MLS after the Cup was over, but a lot of people got that soccer bug during the World Cup and got their fix from watching MLS action.\r\n\r\n<strong>What was it like to score an international goal in a World Cup qualifier?</strong>\r\nIt was amazing. I broke several windows and destroyed my parents’ back yard imagining that moment over and over again in my head when I was little. To see that reoccurring dream of wearing the #10 for my country and scoring a goal like that become reality was second to none.\r\n\r\n<strong>How did it feel to have your professional career cut short by injury?</strong>\r\nIt was a really sad moment for me. To spend your entire life obsessing over something you love, and doing anything you can to get it, to only have it taken away from you because of something you can’t control is a very hard thing to deal with. How I go on is by being grateful of getting there and having a career, and looking forward to the next challenge.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tell us a little bit a about your new show, <em>Soccer Talk Live</em>. It’s kind of a combination of soccer news and pop culture, right?</strong>\r\nThe idea of the show is to put soccer at the head table with other pop culture and entertainment trends where it belongs. The show will be a soccer show first and foremost, but it will also try and thread together the world’s greatest sport with other aspects of mainstream culture, aspects that fans don’t realize connect back to the beautiful game. It will be the coming out party for a game that has already come out but most people just haven’t been paying attention.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why do American soccer players have such a hard time completing quality passes?</strong>\r\nBad eye-sight from sitting too close to the TV? No, probably because our decision making in fast paced crucial moments is not as hard-wired as it is in other countries where that and technique are burned in kids minds from very young ages.\r\n\r\n<strong>Will Jürgen Klinsmann ever coach the US national squad?</strong>\r\nI’m starting to think no. If we didn’t get him this time, I think it’s a wrap.\r\n\r\n<strong>When will the US national team get over the hump and really compete with the big boys on the international stage?</strong>\r\nWhen we stop losing some of our best athletes to other sports.\r\n\r\n<em>Soccer Talk Live</em> airs on Monday nights at 7 p.m. EST on Fox Soccer Channel. Check out your local listings, tune in and find out more about the beautiful game. <span style=\"color: black; font-size: x-small;\"></span>','Interview with Kyle Martino, Host of Soccer Talk Live ','','inherit','open','open','','2073-revision-3','','','2010-09-30 11:02:18','2010-09-30 18:02:18','',2073,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2073-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(2111,2,'2010-10-01 12:01:08','2010-10-01 19:01:08','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2112\" title=\"week 4\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/week-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"290\" />\r\n\r\nLast week, I was 100 percent 50/50. Eight correct calls and eight crappy calls. I’m 23-21-3 against the spread so far this season, but I’m still making weekly cash on those Steelers, baby! Let’s see if we can stay above .500 after a Week 4 slate of games where the favorites all look mighty tempting.\r\n\r\n<strong>At Tennessee -6.5 Denver</strong>\r\nThe Broncos haven’t seen a defense as good as the Titans this year. The Jags, Colts and Seahawks are easy to shred. The Titans are giving up the fifth fewest yards in the air so far (178.3 yards a game) and they’re the league\'s seventh-best defense in total yards allowed per game (294.7). Denver’s been getting it done with Kyle Orton spreading the ball around. <a href=\"http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/09/30/knowshon-moreno-misses-another-practice-with-hamstring-injury/\" target=\"_blank\">Knowshon is hurt</a> and the Broncos can’t run the ball. Their 67 rushing yards per game are good for 30th in the league. Vince Young played well last week. Take away that Pittsburgh debacle and he’s actually having a pretty solid season. If Young can avoid boneheaded picks, the Titans win easy.\r\nPICK: Titans -6.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Pittsburgh -1.5 Baltimore</strong>\r\nSo let’s recap this 3-0 run by the Big Ben-less Steelers. They were dogs to start the season at home against the Falcons. They were dogs when they went to Tennessee in Week 2. They were only favored by 2.5 against the Bucs in Tampa Bay. Now they host the Ravens at home in what amounts to a pick’em. So pick’em. Don’t expect Charlie Batch to throw three TDs (ever again). Just expect a bruising, low-scoring affair with a motivated home team edging out the purple visitors.\r\nPICK: Steelers -1.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Cincinnati -3 At Cleveland</strong>\r\nSeneca Wallace or Jake Delhomme? It doesn’t matter. Cincy’s offense isn’t firing on all cylinders, but the Browns only have one cylinder - <a href=\"http://fantasyfootball.fanhouse.com/2010/09/26/peyton-hillis-bulldozes-his-way-on-to-more-fantasy-football-rost/\" target=\"_blank\">Peyton Hillis</a>. The Browns have kept it respectable. They\'ve lost three games by tiny margins (three to the Bucs, two to the Chiefs and seven to the Ravens), but this team is going to lose the next four games (Cincy this week, Atlanta, at Pittsburgh, at New Orleans). The Bengals can beat this team by three.\r\nPICK: Bengals -3\r\n\r\n<strong>At Green Bay -14.5 Detroit</strong>\r\nDamn, I hate these extra large spreads, but make no mistake, Green Bay’s gonna play angry. After that sloppy-ass, mental-mistake-riddled mess on Monday, the Packers are going to settle down and get back to playing good football. Jahvid Best is dealing with a toe injury. He’ll likely be a game time decision. If he’s limited in any way, the Lions get <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGT08DTk3NM\" target=\"_blank\">blowed out</a>.\r\nPICK: Green Bay -14.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At New Orleans -13.5 Carolina</strong>\r\nThe Jimmy Clausen Era didn’t get off to a great start. Clausen’s first half <a href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14020616/rookie-clausen-has-his-share-of-struggles-in-first-start/rss\" target=\"_blank\">QB rating was 0.0</a>. He went on to complete 16 or 33 passes for 188 yards. He threw a pick and lost a fumble. He also didn’t get much help from the ground game. Gregg Williams is going to bring the pain against Clausen. Look for the Panthers to turn the ball over frequently to a team that can score at will. Big spread yes, but a favorable matchup as well.\r\nPICK: Saints -13.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Atlanta -7 San Francisco</strong>\r\nI want the 49ers to put it together, I really do. There’s just something about Mike Singletary. You just want to see him succeed. He fired Offensive Coordinator Jimmy Raye after last week’s putrid play calling, and <a href=\"http://www.vernondavis85.net/blog/post-1012.html\" target=\"_blank\">VD likes the decision</a>. Atlanta’s good. They took advantage of Garrett Hartley’s missed kick and finished off the Saints in the Superdome. Now they get to go home and host a team that still needs to find its identity. San Francisco will right the ship, but not this week.\r\nPICK: Falcons -7\r\n\r\n<strong>Seattle -1 At St. Louis</strong>\r\nYou know what? I’m picking the Rams. This division is wide open and Seattle has a pretty cushy schedule. They’ve won two games at home, but now they need to venture away from the comfy green foliage of the Pacific Northwest and go to Middle America to play a revived Rams team that’s coming off a 30-16 upset over the Redskins. Look at the final scores of the first two games. Even when the Rams lose, they keep it close (13-17 loss against Arizona, 14-16 loss against Oakland). I kinda like this team. Bradford’s a breath of fresh air, and even with a gimpy Stephen Jackson, I’m going grab the Rams in this pick’em. <a href=\"http://www.nfl.com/players/kennethdarby/profile?id=DAR156792\" target=\"_blank\">Darby</a> can hang.\r\nPICK: Rams +1\r\n\r\n<strong>NY Jets -5.5 At Buffalo</strong>\r\n<a href=\"http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?id=3240&amp;sport=NFL\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Fitzpatrick</a> was surprisingly effective against New England last week. Maybe the Bills knew what they were doing when they cut Trent Edwards. Last week, the Bills scored four times in their first five possessions and CJ Spiller provided a much needed spark on offense and on special teams. The Jets, meanwhile, are everyone’s favorite team again. After Week 1, expectations were reset. The hype died down. Then came victories against the Pats and the Dolphins. During those wins, Mark Sanchez completed 36 out of 58 passes for 476 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. Sanchez wasn’t sacked at all last week, and if continues to play like he has the past two games, the Jets will continue to frighten their division. Revis is out, but that’s not enough to keep the Bills in this. The Jets will shut down the run, make plays with LT and through the air and finish 3-0 in their division after Week 4.\r\nPICK: Jets -5.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Indianapolis -7 At Jacksonville</strong>\r\nSave Del Rio? Not against the Colts. Indy owns the Jags. The Colts have beaten the Jags five times in their last six matchups. Peyton’s crushing it and he\'s getting everyone involved. Austin Collie, the best final round fantasy draft pick you’ve ever made, was limited in practice, but he\'s expected to play. With Garrard sucking it up big time and Maurice Jones-Drew unable to find the endzone in the first three games, it’s not looking good for Del Rio\'s future in Jacksonville.\r\nPICK: Colts -7\r\n\r\n<strong>Houston -3 At Oakland</strong>\r\nThe Raiders want to kill your parlay. Like almost every week. Don’t let them. The Texans are better, but I got a bad feeling about them going to that shit field in Oakland and laying an egg. I got no real reason. Just a feeling.\r\nPICK: Oakland +3\r\n\r\n<strong>At San Diego -8.5 Arizona</strong>\r\nWho has two thumbs, drafted Antonio Gates pretty high and loves the fact that Vincent Jackson is in AJ Smith-induced roster purgatory? This guy! Gates, who’s always a fantasy monster, has been even more of a beast this year. Through three games, the ballin’ TE has 17 receptions for 242 yards and 4 touchdowns. Who needs a starting WR? Not you, San Diego. Sure you lost to Seattle and that has to hurt some, but this is a great game for a rebound. The Cardinals are not playing good football. Arizona gives up too many yards on the ground and they can’t generate any yards in the air. Injuries don’t help either. Alan Faneca is hurt. Steve Breaston and Early Doucet are hurt. Beanie Wells will play, but he isn’t ready to fully take over either. Arizona has too many holes to win this game on the road or even cover the spread.\r\nPICK: Chargers -8.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Philadelphia -6 Washington</strong>\r\nOh, the drama. McNabb is expecting cheers in Philly. That’s like expecting real titties on Santa Monica Blvd. Not gonna happen, dude. McNabb has a chance to stick it to his old team and end the redemption tale of the season, but Vick will outplay him. Vick will face a much tougher defense than he has before, but I’ll take Philly and their skill players over McNabb with an axe to grind and no running game to help him grind it out.\r\nPICK: Eagles -6\r\n\r\n<strong>At NY Giants -4 Chicago</strong>\r\nThis is the week I pick the Bears. Chicago is the only undefeated team in the NFC, but they could easily be 1-2. I’m not buying this team as the best the conference has to offer. No way. What I am buying is the end of Tom Coughlin. Dude got a stay of execution after that surprising, late-surge Super Bowl season, but his players are over it. Dude’s too outdated. He’s too rigid and too red-faced. And he looks like he has the flu, all the time. The Giants need answers. They need to rally behind their coach and win won for the Cough Drop. But they won’t, and everyone will try to convince you that the Bears are really good. They aren’t, but they’ll win on Sunday night.\r\nPICK: Bears +4\r\n\r\n<strong>New England -1 At Miami</strong>\r\nDamn this Pats team is frustrating. You think they’re gonna cover the spread and then they let CJ Spiller run a kick back 95 yards for a score. What\'s up with this team? What\'s up with this whole division? I read an ESPN fantasy outlook for Chad Henne before last week\'s game and it said something like Chad doesn\'t have the arm or the receivers to throw down field, he\'s not gonna do jack but hand the ball off. Then the dude<a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/gameTrax?gameId=20100926015\" target=\"_blank\"> threw for 363 yards</a> against the Jets. All I know for sure is that this game is going to be great to watch. The Pats can\'t seem to stop anyone, but they still have Tom Brady, Randy Moss and Wes Welker. Brandon Marshall should put up strong numbers. This is truly a coin-flip pick, but I\'m leaning towards New England here.\r\nPICK: Pats -1','Week 4 NFL Picks','','publish','open','open','','week-4-nfl-picks','','','2010-10-01 12:05:16','2010-10-01 19:05:16','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2111',0,'post','',0),(2112,2,'2010-09-30 14:44:16','2010-09-30 21:44:16','','week 4','','inherit','open','open','','week-4','','','2010-09-30 14:44:16','2010-09-30 21:44:16','',2111,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/week-4.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2113,2,'2010-09-30 14:44:03','2010-09-30 21:44:03','Last week, I was 100 percent 50/50.

Eight correct calls and eight crappy calls. I’m 23-21-3 against the spread so far this season, but I’m still making weekly cash on those Steelers, baby! Let’s see if we can stay above .500 after a Week 4 slate of games where the favorites all look mighty tempting.\n\n<strong>At Tennessee -6.5 Denver</strong>\nThe Broncos haven’t seen a defense as good as the Titans this year. The Jags, Colts and Seahawks are easy to shred. The Titans are giving up the fifth fewest yards in the air so far (178.3 yards a game) and they’re the leagues seventh-best defense in total yards allowed per game (294.7). Denver’s been getting it done with Kyle Orton spreading the ball around. Knowshon is hurt and the Broncos can’t run the ball. Their 67 rushing yards per game put them at 30th in the league in that category. Vince Young played well last week. Take away that Pittsburgh debacle and he’s actually having a pretty solid season. If Young can avoid boneheaded picks, the Titans win easy.\nPICK: Titans -6.5\n\n<strong>At Pittsburgh -1.5 Baltimore</strong>\nSo let’s recap this 3-0 run by the Big Ben-less Steelers. They were dogs to start the season at home against the Falcons. They were dogs when they went to Tennessee in Week 2. They were only favored by 2.5 against the Bucs in Tampa Bay. Now they host the Ravens at home in what amounts to a pick’em. So pick’em. Don’t expect Charlie Batch to throw three TDs ever again. Just expect a bruising, low-scoring affair with a motivated home team edging out the purple visitors.\nPICK: Steelers -1.5\n\n<strong>Cincinnati -3 At Cleveland</strong>\nSeneca Wallace of Jake Delhomme? It doesn’t matter. Cincy’s offense isn’t firing on all cylinders, but the Browns aren’t going to lose their next four games (Cincy this week, Atlanta, at Pittsburgh, at New Orleans). The Browns have kept it respectable, and Peyton Hillis sure is a feel good story, but the Bengals can beat this team by three.\nPICK: Bengals -3\n\nAt Green Bay -14.5 Detroit\nDamn, I hate these extra large spreads, but make no mistake, Green Bay’s gonna play angry. After that sloppy-ass, mental-mistake-riddled mess on Monday, the Packers are going to settle down and get back to playing good football. Jahvid Best is dealing with a toe injury. He’ll likely be a game time decision. If he’s limited in any way, the Lions get blown out.\nPICK: Green Bay -14.5\n\n<strong>At New Orleans -13.5 Carolina</strong>\nThe Jimmy Clausen Era didn’t get off to a great start. Clausen’s first half QB rating was 0.0. He went on to complete 16 or 33 passes for 188 yards. He threw a pick and lost a fumble. He also didn’t get much help from the ground game. Gregg Williams is going to bring the pain against Clausen. Look for the Panthers to turn the ball over frequently to a team that can score at will. Big spread yes, but a favorable matchup as well.\nPICK: Saints -13.5\n\n<strong>At Atlanta -7 San Francisco</strong>\nI want the 49ers to put it together, I really do. There’s something about Mike Singletary where you just want to see him succeed. He fired Offensive Coordinator Jimmy Raye after last week’s putrid play calling, and <a href=\"http://www.vernondavis85.net/blog/post-1012.html\" target=\"_blank\">VD likes the decision</a>. Atlanta’s good. They took advantage of Garrett Hartley’s missed kick and finished off the Saints in the dome. Now they get to go home and host a team that still needs to find its identity. San Francisco will right the ship, but not this week.\nPICK: Falcons -7\n\n<strong>Seattle -1 At St. Louis</strong>\nYou know what? I’m picking the Rams. This division is wide open and Seattle has a pretty cushy schedule. They’ve won two games at home, but now they need to venture away from the lush foliage of the Pacific Northwest and go to Middle America to play a revived Rams team that’s coming off a 30-16 win over the Redskins. Look at the final scores of the first two games. Even when the Rams lose, they keep it close (13-17 loss against Arizona, 14-16 loss against Oakland). I kinda like this team. Bradford’s a breath of fresh air, and even with a gimpy Stephen Jackson, I’m going grab the Rams in this pick’em.\nPICK: Seahawks -1\n\n<strong>NY Jets -5.5 At Buffalo</strong>\nRyan Fitzpatrick was surprisingly effective against New England last week. Maybe the Bills knew what they were doing when they cut Trent Edwards. The Bills scored four times in the first five possessions and CJ Spiller provided a much needed spark on offense and on special teams. The Jets, meanwhile, are everyone’s favorite team again. After Week 1, expectations were reset. The hype died down. Then came victories against the Pats and the Dolphins. During those wins, Mark Sanchez completed 36 out of 58 passes for 476 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. Sanchez wasn’t sacked at all last week, and if continues to play like he has the past two games, the Jets will continue to frighten their division. Revis is out, but that’s not enough to keep the Bills in this. The Jets will shut down the run, make plays with LT and through the air and finish 3-0 in their division after Week 4.\nPICK: Jets -5.5\n\n<strong>Indianapolis -7 At Jacksonville</strong>\nSave Del Rio? Not against the Colts. Indy owns the Jags. The Colts beat the Jags five times in their last six matchups. Peyton’s crushing it and getting everyone involved. Austin Collie the best final round fantasy draft pick you’ve ever made. With Garrard sucking it up big time and Maurice Jones-Drew unable to find the endzone in the first three games, it’s not looking good for Del Rio.\nPICK: Colts -7\n\n<strong>Houston -3 At Oakland</strong>\nThe Raiders want to kill your parlay. Like almost every week. Don’t let them. The Texans are better, but I got a bad feeling about them going to that shit field in Oakland and laying an egg. I got no real reason. Just a feeling.\nPICK: Oakland +3\n\n<strong>At San Diego -8.5 Arizona</strong>\nWho has two thumbs, drafted Antonio Gates pretty high and loves the fact that Vincent Jackson is in AJ Smith-induced roster purgatory? This guy! Gates, who’s always a fantasy monster, has been even more of a beast this year. Through three games, the ballin’ TE has 17 receptions for 242 yards and 4 touchdowns. Who needs a starting WR? Not you, San Diego. Sure you lost to the Rams and that has to hurt some, but this is a great game for a rebound. The Cardinals are not playing good football. Arizona gives up too many yards on the ground and they can’t generate any yards in the air. Injuries don’t help either. Alan Faneca is hurt. Steve Breaston and Early Doucet are hurt. Beanie Wells isn’t fully ready to take over either. Arizona has too many holes to win this game on the road or even cover the spread.\nPICK: Chargers -8.5\n\n<strong>At Philadelphia -6 Washington</strong>\nOh, the drama. McNabb is expecting cheers in Philly. That’s like expecting real titties on Santa Monica Blvd. Not gonna happen, dude. McNabb has a chance to stick it to his old team and end the redemption tale of the season, but Vick will outplay him. Vick will face a much tougher defense than he has before, but I’ll take Philly and their skill players over McNabb with an axe to grind and no running game to help him grind it out.\nPICK: Eagles -6\n\n<strong>At NY Giants -4 Chicago</strong>\nThis is the week I pick the Bears. Chicago is the only undefeated team in the NFC, but they could easily be 2-2. I’m not buying this team as the best the conference has to offer. No way. What I am buying is the end of Tom Coughlin. Dude got a stay of execution after that surprising, late-surge Super Bowl season, but his players are over it. Dude’s too outdated. He’s too rigid and too red-faced. He looks like he has the flu all the time. The Giants need answers. They need to rally behind their coach and win won for the Cough Drop. But they won’t, and everyone will try to convince you that the Bears are really good. They aren’t, but they’ll win on Sunday night.\nPICK: Bears +4\n\n<strong>New England -1 At Miami</strong>\nDamn this Pats team is frustrating. You think they’re gonna cover the spread and then they let CJ Spiller run a kick back 95 yards for a score.\nPICK: Pats -1','Week 4 NFL Picks','','inherit','open','open','','2111-revision-3','','','2010-09-30 15:06:22','2010-09-30 22:06:22','',2111,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2111-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(2116,2,'2010-09-30 11:23:38','2010-09-30 18:23:38','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2102 alignnone\" title=\"10 TV Shows\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/10-TV-Shows.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"288\" />\r\n\r\nThere’s a ton of garbage on television these days. You got a bunch of lazy, formulaic reality shows (any reality show not starring Gordon Ramsey or the New York Jets is not worth your time). Then there’s all those sappy sitcoms and tiresome hour-long dramas on network (seriously, how many CSIs/Law and Orders can they churn out?). With all the clutter on TV, some quality shows are bound to slip through the cracks. If you like consuming television programs on a season-per-day basis, here are 10 shows you need add to your NetFlix queue and plow through (in no particular order).\r\n<h2>Dexter</h2>\r\nI was a little late to the Dexter party. I just couldn’t get into it at first. I thought it was a dark comedy that was too heavy on the dark and too light on the comedy. But it’s a good show, man. The supporting characters/storylines are all a little wack (I’m lookin’ at you Doakes), and the flashback scenes with Dexter’s Dad can get a little cheesy, but Michael C. Hall makes it all worthwhile. The last season with Jon Lithgow was intense as hell, and the new season is starting in a few weeks. It’s a good time to get yourself all caught up.\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/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/CUbCMbW-BRE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Wire</h2>\r\nIf you’re sick and tired of hearing people say that The Wire is the greatest show of all time, shut the hell up. People gush endlessly about this show for good reason. If it’s not the best show ever then it’s in the top three for damn sure. Why? It’s just so well-done. The writing is absolutely fantastic. You have deep and honest sociological insights wrapped up in a tight dialogue that’s spoken by dozens of characters whose arcs enjoy multiple seasons’ worth of development. Plus, there’s McNutty.\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/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/KQbsnSVM1zM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Shield</h2>\r\nComparing The Shield to The Wire is unfair. It’s apples and oranges, really. The Wire tinkers with root-causing systemic societal woes, but The Shield is a much more individualized, inward psychological study of badass anti-hero Vic Mackey. The series sets Mackey up as this terribly corrupt yet loveably effective detective who does some disgraceful things for mostly the right reasons. Each season is a little different, but the intensity of Michael Chiklis is the one constant you can look forward to throughout the series.\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/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/DOHXl8GMdrc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Breaking Bad</h2>\r\nMoody and visceral, Breaking Bad is simply amazing television. The pacing, the uniqueness of each episode, the characters, everything is incredible. The funny parts are hilarious, the suspense isn’t contrived and the oh-shit moments are genuinely jaw dropping. There’s a reason why Bryan Cranston has won three-consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Mr. White. Watching the Chemistry teacher turned meth chef’s gradual transition into a total badass is must-see TV.\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/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/58LsEQ3FtDU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Sons of Anarchy</h2>\r\nI don’t ride motorcycles and I don’t wear leather jackets. I do love the film Green Street Hooligans though (Elijah Wood is still a pansy but we’ll gloss over that for now), and anyone who’s seen that movie knows that Charlie Hunnam <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APb7TeeN8Tg\" target=\"_blank\">plays the tough guy role well</a>. The Brit actor carries Sons of Anarchy almost single handedly. Sure, badass Peggy Bundy and ringleader Hellboy are cool too, but the show revolves around his character Jax. Fun fact: Kurt Sutter, the show’s creator, is married to Katey Segal and also wrote for The Shield.\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/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/UsccPMFFWZw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>Mad Men</h2>\r\nHere’s another critically/culturally acclaimed show that lives up to the hype. Sure all the boozing and womanizing and goofy 60s mores get all the attention, but Mad Men is full of rich subtleties. The show doesn’t stuff character traits and conflicts down your throat. There’s a whole lot of subtext to play with. Don Draper is also one of the coolest TV characters of all time. It’s hard to see Jon Hamm as anything but Draper at this point. If you haven’t seen every episode of the three-time Emmy award winning outstanding drama series, get on that shit.\r\n<h2>Californication</h2>\r\nPart romance, part ridiculous Californication is great television. David Duchovny shows his acting range by playing an artsy, boozin’ sex-crazed maniac. Okay so he’s playing himself, but he does it really, really well. His little daughter has a voice that’ll make you wanna jump out a window, but with all the T &amp; A, funny dialogue and family dysfunction, the three seasons of this show are certainly worth a lazy weekend investment.\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/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/L3oIgg8gcDc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>The Sopranos</h2>\r\nI know what you’re thinking… The Sopranos was a good show? No shit, bro, thanks for the memo! The reason the show’s on this list is cause I know there are people out there that had some episodes (or maybe even seasons) of The Sopranos slip through the cracks. There was a two year break between seasons 4 and 5 and another two year gap between seasons 5 and 6. Don’t try to catch reruns on basic cable. To the show some justice and get fully caught up on any episodes you missed.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" 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/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"344\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/B8lHGw4arsM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>True Blood</h2>\r\nIs it gay? Yes, yes it is. Is Anna Paquin hot? Sadly, no. Even with those two strikes, True Blood is still an interesting show. I’m as vampired out as the next guy, but there are some fun characters and storylines to get behind in this series. Catch up on it if you haven’t already.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" 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/2tKCAtUJiOU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"295\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/2tKCAtUJiOU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n<h2>24</h2>\r\nLook, we all know that 24 starting sucking bad (real bad) in those last few seasons. But think back to a different time. Think back to a time when news outlets were debating the finer points of torture to keep our country safe. Things were different back then. Threats we\'re everywhere and the greater LA area always seemed to be a target. If a nuclear bomb or chemical attack is about to go off in Chattsworth, Valencia or Encino, there\'s really only one guy you want to save Southern California... Jack Bauer when he\'s sober. I had a hard time including this show on the list, cause it got really, really bad. Unwatchable even. But those first couple/few seasons were like crack, man. You needed that shit. Doot...Doot...Doot...Doot. Y\'know what I\'m talking about. It\'s hard to say when this show lost it\'s way, but the first two-three seasons are definitely worth a NetFlix push.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" 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/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/399Hiwua0J4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','10 TV Shows to Put in Your NetFlix Queue ','','inherit','open','open','','2096-revision-8','','','2010-09-30 11:23:38','2010-09-30 18:23:38','',2096,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2096-revision-8/',0,'revision','',0),(2117,2,'2010-09-28 11:35:45','2010-09-28 18:35:45','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1848\" title=\"carlos-boozer\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/carlos-boozer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\r\n\r\nThis past weekend, Chicago Bulls Power Forward Carlos Boozer served as the commissioner for the <a href=\"http://www.replaytheseries.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Gatorade REPLAY 3</a> rematch between <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/sports/revenge-is-sweet-brother-rice-takes-down-bloom-in-gatorade-replay-3/\" target=\"_blank\">Brother Rice and Bloom Township in Chicago</a>.

The adult film superstar wrote a book called <a href=\"http://www.amazon.ca/Porn-Star-Guide-Great-Sex/dp/0312382391\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Porn Star Guide to Great Sex</em></a>, and it’s a fantastic read. Witty, illustrated and full of useful techniques, mood-setting tips and advice on love and intimacy in general, Mr. Marcus’s book is well worth the purchase.\r\n\r\nWe chatted with Mr. Marcus about his new book, the perks/drawbacks of being a porn star, how couples can keep things spicy in the bedroom, his secret move (he didn’t tell us) and who he likes to work with. Here’s what he had to say:\r\n\r\n<strong>What inspired you to write The Porn Star Guide to Great Sex?</strong>\r\n\r\nI wanted something that stood out in the sex section at the book store. Not a memoir or anything biographical, just something that could help people in the bedroom right here, right now. Most of the books that I read before were written by a doctor or a woman or a combination of both, I hadn\'t seen or read anything written from the male perspective, especially from a male porn star. I thought I\'d be the first.\r\n<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>When did you know you wanted to be a porn star?</strong>\r\n\r\nTo be honest I never wanted to be a porn star, I just wanted to have sex with the girls I saw in adult magazines. I knew that pretty early on, right around the time I saw my first porn magazine, I was 16. Magazines like Hustler, Club and Black Tails were the driving force behind my decision to pursue adult, I wanted to be in those pictures, besides the normal masturbating fantasies I had bigger aspirations and have been driven by that.\r\n<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What\'s the best thing about being a porn star? What\'s the worst?</strong>\r\n\r\nProbably the best thing about being a porn star is the variety of women you meet and have sex with, each sexual partner your with teaches you something about yourself (what you like and what you don\'t like) so through that I\'ve learned a lot about myself and others. Through all those sexual partners, I\'ve learned what works well and what doesn\'t work well for me, but might work well for others. So the best thing is you learn a lot about yourself and others, sexually. And you become a sort of sexual guru. The worst is the reputation you get by having sex with so many people. I\'ve been called a lot of names so writing the book was my effort to beat back some of those negative comments.\r\n<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1929\" title=\"413dOyBV73L._SL500_AA300_\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/413dOyBV73L._SL500_AA300_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" />What tips do you have for couples who need to spice up their sex life?</strong>\r\n\r\nI tell them to read my book...slightly kidding. It\'s funny because most of the things we do sexually in the beginning of relationship somewhere down the line we tend to stop doing. You have to make an effort to stay sexually in tune with your partner. But you also have to evolve together. A challenge without a doubt, but if you\'re with a forgiving partner, it\'s possible. I say forgiving, because it\'s not easy and you\'ll make some mistakes, but if your partner is willing to try new things, then it should extend your sexual life together. With that being said, I encourage flirting with one another or with others flirting has a way of boosting our sexual confidence, try getting out of having sex in the same place in the same way, visit hotel rooms, do it at a friend’s house, in the car, late night in a park (just don\'t get caught). Role playing is good way to create an alter ego, a more promiscuous ego. And don\'t hold yourself responsible for what that alter ego might sexually do.<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What\'s one thing that guys tend to neglect when they\'re pleasing a woman?</strong>\r\n\r\nI think the simple things, women are complicated when it comes to shoes, clothes and hair styles, but with relationships they just want attention and presence. Ultimately respect goes a long way with both sexes, so if you can show your woman an appreciation and a respect in the bedroom, she\'ll respond favorably. A favorite thing I like to do for my woman is give her late night massages, she loves it and has never turned down one, it\'s that little bit of attention to detail, doing what she responds to and likes, that keeps it a happy home.\r\n\r\n<strong>Who\'s the hottest porn star you\'ve ever done a scene with?</strong>\r\n\r\nI\'ve been with a lot of hot and horny porn stars, over the years they\'ve come and gone. But one, Heather Hunter, has made a lasting impression. Beauty, smarts and sexual ability that comes across easily and naturally.<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Who\'s the most skilled porn star you\'ve ever done a scene with?</strong>\r\n\r\nJenna Haze puts in a mean handjob. Monique Alexander knows how to give it as well as take it. There is a new girl Bethany Benz who has quickly become a personal favorite.<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Who do you see as the biggest up and coming starlet in adult film?</strong>\r\n\r\nI\'ve always liked Sasha Grey, not only because of her intelligence, but her lack of fear when it comes to sex. Her ability to maintain crossover appeal while being a porn star, makes her interesting to watch. Another girl I see with some major potential is Bethany Benz, coming from reality tv and trying her hand in adult, she shows a sexual side that\'s always been there, porn just brought it out.<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What\'s your secret move?</strong>\r\n\r\nWhy would I tell my secret move? What I can tell you is a technique I know that works. Something I learn from the set, is that constant intercourse during sex is not necessary, don\'t let the situation fool you, pulling it out and stroking yourself while you watch her or while changing positions, can give you the time you need to subside the urge to cum or achieve a more desired erectness. Plus it gives the woman some sexual insight into how you arouse yourself which in turn she can learn from and use to keep you aroused and erect.<strong></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What are you working on now?</strong>\r\n\r\nCurrently working on an untitled 3-D porn movie. Using 5 women with different looks and appeal and I\'m the guy who offers a sexual suggestion for each of them to do throughout the movie. Plus working on my clothing line Daddy, Inc. You can check out <a href=\"http://www.daddyinc.net/\" target=\"_blank\">www.daddyinc.net</a> for more info. Also working on another book with more of a memoir appeal. So you can read where and how all this sexual insight came about.','Interview with Mr. Marcus - The Porn Star Guide to Great Sex','','inherit','open','open','','1925-revision-6','','','2010-09-22 07:53:59','2010-09-22 14:53:59','',1925,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1925-revision-6/',0,'revision','',0),(2121,2,'2010-10-01 10:05:49','2010-10-01 17:05:49','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-1974 alignnone\" title=\"weezer one night only\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/weezer-one-night-only.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\r\n\r\nWeezer played a secret show sponsored by AXE at the Dunes Inn Motel in Hollywood on Tuesday, and it was sick.

The second installment of the <a href=\"http://www.theaxeeffect.com/music/#/artists/weezer/one_night_only\" target=\"_blank\">AXE Music \"One Night Only\"</a> concert series was definitively a hit (the first One Night Only concert was a <a href=\"http://www.theaxeeffect.com/music/#/artists/ti/bet_i \" target=\"_blank\">TI show in New York</a> that sounded like a pretty sweet time as well). The Weezer show featured an open bar, free food, celebs and a chance to see a great live band in the intimate setting of a motel courtyard on Sunset and Western.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1973\" title=\"weezer-hurley-album\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/weezer-hurley-album.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"380\" />Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were there (Odom looked bored as hell, but hey, way to support the band, Lamar). Vanessa Hudgens, My Chemical Romance and the big guy from LOST were also in attendance. Jorge Garcia (aforementioned big guy) had his face selected by Weezer for their new album cover, Hurley. Jorge got to introduce the band and even did a number with them on stage.\r\n\r\nAXE puts on great events, and this was no exception.

Eight correct calls and eight crappy calls. I’m 23-21-3 against the spread so far this season, but I’m still making weekly cash on those Steelers, baby! Let’s see if we can stay above .500 after a Week 4 slate of games where the favorites all look mighty tempting.\n\n<strong>At Tennessee -6.5 Denver</strong>\nThe Broncos haven’t seen a defense as good as the Titans this year. The Jags, Colts and Seahawks are easy to shred. The Titans are giving up the fifth fewest yards in the air so far (178.3 yards a game) and they’re the league\'s seventh-best defense in total yards allowed per game (294.7). Denver’s been getting it done with Kyle Orton spreading the ball around. Knowshon is hurt and the Broncos can’t run the ball. Their 67 rushing yards per game are good for 30th in the league. Vince Young played well last week. Take away that Pittsburgh debacle and he’s actually having a pretty solid season. If Young can avoid boneheaded picks, the Titans win easy.\nPICK: Titans -6.5\n\n<strong>At Pittsburgh -1.5 Baltimore</strong>\nSo let’s recap this 3-0 run by the Big Ben-less Steelers. They were dogs to start the season at home against the Falcons. They were dogs when they went to Tennessee in Week 2. They were only favored by 2.5 against the Bucs in Tampa Bay. Now they host the Ravens at home in what amounts to a pick’em. So pick’em. Don’t expect Charlie Batch to throw three TDs (ever again). Just expect a bruising, low-scoring affair with a motivated home team edging out the purple visitors.\nPICK: Steelers -1.5\n\n<strong>Cincinnati -3 At Cleveland</strong>\nSeneca Wallace or Jake Delhomme? It doesn’t matter. Cincy’s offense isn’t firing on all cylinders, but the Browns only have one cylinder - Peyton Hillis. The Browns have kept it respectable. They\'ve lost three games by tiny margins (three to the Bucs, two to the Chiefs and seven to the Ravens), but this team is going to lose the next four games (Cincy this week, Atlanta, at Pittsburgh, at New Orleans). The Bengals can beat this team by three.\nPICK: Bengals -3\n\n<strong>At Green Bay -14.5 Detroit</strong>\nDamn, I hate these extra large spreads, but make no mistake, Green Bay’s gonna play angry. After that sloppy-ass, mental-mistake-riddled mess on Monday, the Packers are going to settle down and get back to playing good football. Jahvid Best is dealing with a toe injury. He’ll likely be a game time decision. If he’s limited in any way, the Lions get <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGT08DTk3NM\" target=\"_blank\">blowed out</a>.\nPICK: Green Bay -14.5\n\n<strong>At New Orleans -13.5 Carolina</strong>\nThe Jimmy Clausen Era didn’t get off to a great start. Clausen’s first half <a href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14020616/rookie-clausen-has-his-share-of-struggles-in-first-start/rss\" target=\"_blank\">QB rating was 0.0</a>. He went on to complete 16 or 33 passes for 188 yards. He threw a pick and lost a fumble. He also didn’t get much help from the ground game. Gregg Williams is going to bring the pain against Clausen. Look for the Panthers to turn the ball over frequently to a team that can score at will. Big spread yes, but a favorable matchup as well.\nPICK: Saints -13.5\n\n<strong>At Atlanta -7 San Francisco</strong>\nI want the 49ers to put it together, I really do. There’s just something about Mike Singletary. You just want to see him succeed. He fired Offensive Coordinator Jimmy Raye after last week’s putrid play calling, and <a href=\"http://www.vernondavis85.net/blog/post-1012.html\" target=\"_blank\">VD likes the decision</a>. Atlanta’s good. They took advantage of Garrett Hartley’s missed kick and finished off the Saints in the Superdome. Now they get to go home and host a team that still needs to find its identity. San Francisco will right the ship, but not this week.\nPICK: Falcons -7\n\n<strong>Seattle -1 At St. Louis</strong>\nYou know what? I’m picking the Rams. This division is wide open and Seattle has a pretty cushy schedule. They’ve won two games at home, but now they need to venture away from the comfy green foliage of the Pacific Northwest and go to Middle America to play a revived Rams team that’s coming off a 30-16 upset over the Redskins. Look at the final scores of the first two games. Even when the Rams lose, they keep it close (13-17 loss against Arizona, 14-16 loss against Oakland). I kinda like this team. Bradford’s a breath of fresh air, and even with a gimpy Stephen Jackson, I’m going grab the Rams in this pick’em. <a href=\"http://www.nfl.com/players/kennethdarby/profile?id=DAR156792\" target=\"_blank\">Darby</a> can hang.\nPICK: Rams +1\n\n<strong>NY Jets -5.5 At Buffalo</strong>\n<a href=\"http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?id=3240&amp;sport=NFL\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Fitzpatrick</a> was surprisingly effective against New England last week. Maybe the Bills knew what they were doing when they cut Trent Edwards. Last week, the Bills scored four times in their first five possessions and CJ Spiller provided a much needed spark on offense and on special teams. The Jets, meanwhile, are everyone’s favorite team again. After Week 1, expectations were reset. The hype died down. Then came victories against the Pats and the Dolphins. During those wins, Mark Sanchez completed 36 out of 58 passes for 476 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. Sanchez wasn’t sacked at all last week, and if continues to play like he has the past two games, the Jets will continue to frighten their division. Revis is out, but that’s not enough to keep the Bills in this. The Jets will shut down the run, make plays with LT and through the air and finish 3-0 in their division after Week 4.\nPICK: Jets -5.5\n\n<strong>Indianapolis -7 At Jacksonville</strong>\nSave Del Rio? Not against the Colts. Indy owns the Jags. The Colts have beaten the Jags five times in their last six matchups. Peyton’s crushing it and he\'s getting everyone involved. Austin Collie, the best final round fantasy draft pick you’ve ever made, was limited in practice, but he\'s expected to play. With Garrard sucking it up big time and Maurice Jones-Drew unable to find the endzone in the first three games, it’s not looking good for Del Rio\'s future in Jacksonville.\nPICK: Colts -7\n\n<strong>Houston -3 At Oakland</strong>\nThe Raiders want to kill your parlay. Like almost every week. Don’t let them. The Texans are better, but I got a bad feeling about them going to that shit field in Oakland and laying an egg. I got no real reason. Just a feeling.\nPICK: Oakland +3\n\n<strong>At San Diego -8.5 Arizona</strong>\nWho has two thumbs, drafted Antonio Gates pretty high and loves the fact that Vincent Jackson is in AJ Smith-induced roster purgatory? This guy! Gates, who’s always a fantasy monster, has been even more of a beast this year. Through three games, the ballin’ TE has 17 receptions for 242 yards and 4 touchdowns. Who needs a starting WR? Not you, San Diego. Sure you lost to Seattle and that has to hurt some, but this is a great game for a rebound. The Cardinals are not playing good football. Arizona gives up too many yards on the ground and they can’t generate any yards in the air. Injuries don’t help either. Alan Faneca is hurt. Steve Breaston and Early Doucet are hurt. Beanie Wells will play, but he isn’t ready to fully take over either. Arizona has too many holes to win this game on the road or even cover the spread.\nPICK: Chargers -8.5\n\n<strong>At Philadelphia -6 Washington</strong>\nOh, the drama. McNabb is expecting cheers in Philly. That’s like expecting real titties on Santa Monica Blvd. Not gonna happen, dude. McNabb has a chance to stick it to his old team and end the redemption tale of the season, but Vick will outplay him. Vick will face a much tougher defense than he has before, but I’ll take Philly and their skill players over McNabb with an axe to grind and no running game to help him grind it out.\nPICK: Eagles -6\n\n<strong>At NY Giants -4 Chicago</strong>\nThis is the week I pick the Bears. Chicago is the only undefeated team in the NFC, but they could easily be 1-2. I’m not buying this team as the best the conference has to offer. No way. What I am buying is the end of Tom Coughlin. Dude got a stay of execution after that surprising, late-surge Super Bowl season, but his players are over it. Dude’s too outdated. He’s too rigid and too red-faced. And he looks like he has the flu, all the time. The Giants need answers. They need to rally behind their coach and win won for the Cough Drop. But they won’t, and everyone will try to convince you that the Bears are really good. They aren’t, but they’ll win on Sunday night.\nPICK: Bears +4\n\n<strong>New England -1 At Miami</strong>\nDamn this Pats team is frustrating. You think they’re gonna cover the spread and then they let CJ Spiller run a kick back 95 yards for a score. What\'s up with this team? What\'s up with this whole division? I read an ESPN fantasy outlook for Chad Henne before last week\'s game and it said something like Chad doesn\'t have the arm or the receivers to throw down field, he\'s not gonna do jack but hand the ball off. Then the dude<a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/gameTrax?gameId=20100926015\" target=\"_blank\"> threw for 363 yards</a> against the Jets. All I know for sure is that this game is going to be great to watch. The Pats can\'t seem to stop anyone, but they still have Tom Brady, Randy Moss and Wes Welker. Brandon Marshall should put up strong numbers, but I like New England here.\nPICK: Pats -1','Week 4 NFL Picks','','inherit','open','open','','2111-revision-4','','','2010-10-01 11:41:29','2010-10-01 18:41:29','',2111,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2111-revision-4/',0,'revision','',0),(2124,2,'2010-10-01 12:06:23','2010-10-01 19:06:23','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2112\" title=\"week 4\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/week-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"290\" />\n\nLast week, I was 100 percent 50/50.

If he’s limited in any way, the Lions get <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGT08DTk3NM\" target=\"_blank\">blowed out</a>.\nPICK: Green Bay -14.5\n\n<strong>At New Orleans -13.5 Carolina</strong>\nThe Jimmy Clausen Era didn’t get off to a great start. Clausen’s first half <a href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/14020616/rookie-clausen-has-his-share-of-struggles-in-first-start/rss\" target=\"_blank\">QB rating was 0.0</a>. He went on to complete 16 or 33 passes for 188 yards. He threw a pick and lost a fumble. He also didn’t get much help from the ground game. Gregg Williams is going to bring the pain against Clausen. Look for the Panthers to turn the ball over frequently to a team that can score at will. Big spread yes, but a favorable matchup as well.\nPICK: Saints -13.5\n\n<strong>At Atlanta -7 San Francisco</strong>\nI want the 49ers to put it together, I really do. There’s just something about Mike Singletary. You just want to see him succeed. He fired Offensive Coordinator Jimmy Raye after last week’s putrid play calling, and <a href=\"http://www.vernondavis85.net/blog/post-1012.html\" target=\"_blank\">VD likes the decision</a>. Atlanta’s good. They took advantage of Garrett Hartley’s missed kick and finished off the Saints in the Superdome. Now they get to go home and host a team that still needs to find its identity. San Francisco will right the ship, but not this week.\nPICK: Falcons -7\n\n<strong>Seattle -1 At St. Louis</strong>\nYou know what? I’m picking the Rams. This division is wide open and Seattle has a pretty cushy schedule. They’ve won two games at home, but now they need to venture away from the comfy green foliage of the Pacific Northwest and go to Middle America to play a revived Rams team that’s coming off a 30-16 upset over the Redskins. Look at the final scores of the first two games. Even when the Rams lose, they keep it close (13-17 loss against Arizona, 14-16 loss against Oakland). I kinda like this team. Bradford’s a breath of fresh air, and even with a gimpy Stephen Jackson, I’m going grab the Rams in this pick’em. <a href=\"http://www.nfl.com/players/kennethdarby/profile?id=DAR156792\" target=\"_blank\">Darby</a> can hang.\nPICK: Rams +1\n\n<strong>NY Jets -5.5 At Buffalo</strong>\n<a href=\"http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?id=3240&amp;sport=NFL\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Fitzpatrick</a> was surprisingly effective against New England last week. Maybe the Bills knew what they were doing when they cut Trent Edwards. Last week, the Bills scored four times in their first five possessions and CJ Spiller provided a much needed spark on offense and on special teams. The Jets, meanwhile, are everyone’s favorite team again. After Week 1, expectations were reset. The hype died down. Then came victories against the Pats and the Dolphins. During those wins, Mark Sanchez completed 36 out of 58 passes for 476 yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions. Sanchez wasn’t sacked at all last week, and if continues to play like he has the past two games, the Jets will continue to frighten their division. Revis is out, but that’s not enough to keep the Bills in this. The Jets will shut down the run, make plays with LT and through the air and finish 3-0 in their division after Week 4.\nPICK: Jets -5.5\n\n<strong>Indianapolis -7 At Jacksonville</strong>\nSave Del Rio? Not against the Colts. Indy owns the Jags. The Colts have beaten the Jags five times in their last six matchups. Peyton’s crushing it and he\'s getting everyone involved. Austin Collie, the best final round fantasy draft pick you’ve ever made, was limited in practice, but he\'s expected to play. With Garrard sucking it up big time and Maurice Jones-Drew unable to find the endzone in the first three games, it’s not looking good for Del Rio\'s future in Jacksonville.\nPICK: Colts -7\n\n<strong>Houston -3 At Oakland</strong>\nThe Raiders want to kill your parlay. Like almost every week. Don’t let them. The Texans are better, but I got a bad feeling about them going to that shit field in Oakland and laying an egg. I got no real reason. Just a feeling.\nPICK: Oakland +3\n\n<strong>At San Diego -8.5 Arizona</strong>\nWho has two thumbs, drafted Antonio Gates pretty high and loves the fact that Vincent Jackson is in AJ Smith-induced roster purgatory? This guy! Gates, who’s always a fantasy monster, has been even more of a beast this year. Through three games, the ballin’ TE has 17 receptions for 242 yards and 4 touchdowns. Who needs a starting WR? Not you, San Diego. Sure you lost to Seattle and that has to hurt some, but this is a great game for a rebound. The Cardinals are not playing good football. Arizona gives up too many yards on the ground and they can’t generate any yards in the air. Injuries don’t help either. Alan Faneca is hurt. Steve Breaston and Early Doucet are hurt. Beanie Wells will play, but he isn’t ready to fully take over either. Arizona has too many holes to win this game on the road or even cover the spread.\nPICK: Chargers -8.5\n\n<strong>At Philadelphia -6 Washington</strong>\nOh, the drama. McNabb is expecting cheers in Philly. That’s like expecting real titties on Santa Monica Blvd. Not gonna happen, dude. McNabb has a chance to stick it to his old team and end the redemption tale of the season, but Vick will outplay him. Vick will face a much tougher defense than he has before, but I’ll take Philly and their skill players over McNabb with an axe to grind and no running game to help him grind it out.\nPICK: Eagles -6\n\n<strong>At NY Giants -4 Chicago</strong>\nThis is the week I pick the Bears. Chicago is the only undefeated team in the NFC, but they could easily be 1-2. I’m not buying this team as the best the conference has to offer. No way. What I am buying is the end of Tom Coughlin. Dude got a stay of execution after that surprising, late-surge Super Bowl season, but his players are over it. Dude’s too outdated. He’s too rigid and too red-faced. And he looks like he has the flu, all the time. The Giants need answers. They need to rally behind their coach and win won for the Cough Drop. But they won’t, and everyone will try to convince you that the Bears are really good. They aren’t, but they’ll win on Sunday night.\nPICK: Bears +4\n\n<strong>New England -1 At Miami</strong>\nDamn this Pats team is frustrating. You think they’re gonna cover the spread and then they let CJ Spiller run a kick back 95 yards for a score. What\'s up with this team? What\'s up with this whole division? I read an ESPN fantasy outlook for Chad Henne before last week\'s game and it said something like Chad doesn\'t have the arm or the receivers to throw down field, he\'s not gonna do jack but hand the ball off. Then the dude<a href=\"http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/gameTrax?gameId=20100926015\" target=\"_blank\"> threw for 363 yards</a> against the Jets. All I know for sure is that this game is going to be great to watch. The Pats can\'t seem to stop anyone, but they still have Tom Brady, Randy Moss and Wes Welker. Brandon Marshall should put up strong numbers. This is truly a coin-flip pick, but I\'m leaning towards New England here.\nPICK: Pats -1','Week 4 NFL Picks','','inherit','open','open','','2111-autosave','','','2010-10-01 12:06:23','2010-10-01 19:06:23','',2111,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2111-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(2125,2,'2010-10-01 12:01:08','2010-10-01 19:01:08','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2112\" title=\"week 4\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/week-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"290\" />\r\n\r\nLast week, I was 100 percent 50/50. Eight correct calls and eight crappy calls. I’m 23-21-3 against the spread so far this season, but I’m still making weekly cash on those Steelers, baby! Let’s see if we can stay above .500 after a Week 4 slate of games where the favorites all look mighty tempting.\r\n\r\n<strong>At Tennessee -6.5 Denver</strong>\r\nThe Broncos haven’t seen a defense as good as the Titans this year. The Jags, Colts and Seahawks are easy to shred. The Titans are giving up the fifth fewest yards in the air so far (178.3 yards a game) and they’re the league\'s seventh-best defense in total yards allowed per game (294.7). Denver’s been getting it done with Kyle Orton spreading the ball around. Knowshon is hurt and the Broncos can’t run the ball. Their 67 rushing yards per game are good for 30th in the league. Vince Young played well last week. Take away that Pittsburgh debacle and he’s actually having a pretty solid season. If Young can avoid boneheaded picks, the Titans win easy.\r\nPICK: Titans -6.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Pittsburgh -1.5 Baltimore</strong>\r\nSo let’s recap this 3-0 run by the Big Ben-less Steelers. They were dogs to start the season at home against the Falcons. They were dogs when they went to Tennessee in Week 2. They were only favored by 2.5 against the Bucs in Tampa Bay. Now they host the Ravens at home in what amounts to a pick’em. So pick’em. Don’t expect Charlie Batch to throw three TDs (ever again). Just expect a bruising, low-scoring affair with a motivated home team edging out the purple visitors.\r\nPICK: Steelers -1.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Cincinnati -3 At Cleveland</strong>\r\nSeneca Wallace or Jake Delhomme? It doesn’t matter. Cincy’s offense isn’t firing on all cylinders, but the Browns only have one cylinder - Peyton Hillis. The Browns have kept it respectable. They\'ve lost three games by tiny margins (three to the Bucs, two to the Chiefs and seven to the Ravens), but this team is going to lose the next four games (Cincy this week, Atlanta, at Pittsburgh, at New Orleans). The Bengals can beat this team by three.\r\nPICK: Bengals -3\r\n\r\n<strong>At Green Bay -14.5 Detroit</strong>\r\nDamn, I hate these extra large spreads, but make no mistake, Green Bay’s gonna play angry. After that sloppy-ass, mental-mistake-riddled mess on Monday, the Packers are going to settle down and get back to playing good football. Jahvid Best is dealing with a toe injury. He’ll likely be a game time decision.
