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<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 ','','inherit','open','open','','2096-revision-9','','','2010-09-30 16:25:39','2010-09-30 23:25:39','',2096,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2096-revision-9/',0,'revision','',0),(2142,2,'2010-10-01 16:28:11','2010-10-01 23:28:11','Bloody hilarious.

That nasty combo of headache, nausea and gut-pain can cost you precious hours of your life.  While there are certainly preventative measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of a hangover (headache medication, food, lots of water before bed, etc.), inevitably you’re going to get stuck with a dirty hangover that you need to crush before it kills your day. Here are 11 awesome hangover cures that you can turn to when you need to ease the pain.\r\n<h2>11. Ginger</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2157\" title=\"Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nGinger is an all-purpose digestive aid. You can eat it with sushi, drink some ginger tea or mix ginger juice with water for a nausea-reducing elixir that’ll balance your gastric fluids and calm your system. This powerful antioxidant and anticoagulant can work wonders, but don’t consume fresh ginger on an empty stomach. Mix it up with something else.\r\n<h2>10. Honey</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2158\" title=\"honey\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/honey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nHoney is a great antioxidant that’s loaded with fructose and glucose. In Poland, people mix honey in with pickle juice for a hydrating, salty hangover-recovery treat. If the idea of honey pickle juice sounds foul to you, just take a couple table spoons of the magic bee sauce and enjoy the fresh coat of healing goodness.\r\n<h2>9. Prickly Pear</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2159\" title=\"prickly_pear_bud_235\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/prickly_pear_bud_235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nFor desert drunks, the prickly pear is a solid morning option that’ll help take the edge off the hurt. The extract from the prickly pear cactus can help reduce nausea, loss of appetite and dry mouth. You can find prickly pear extract in a bunch of different dietary supplements.\r\n<h2>8. Eggs</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2168\" title=\"eggs\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/eggs1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nYep, eggs. Eggs have cysteine in ‘em. Cysteine is an awesome amino acid that breaks down acetaldehyde, a toxin that’s a byproduct of the oxidation of ethanol. Acetaldehyde causes hangovers and eggs break down the acetaldehyde. So get over the fact that you don’t want breakfast and scramble that hangover out of your system.\r\n<h2>7. Coca Cola</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2169\" title=\"coca-cola-can\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/coca-cola-can.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nOh the sweet, sweet nectar of Coca Cola can do wonders for a messed up belly. Some say that Coca Cola was <a href=\"http://www.hamshrn.org/hangovercures/ \" target=\"_blank\">originally invented as a hangover cure</a>. I don’t know about all that, but whether you’ve eaten a big meal or you need to turn down the volume down in your stomach, a cold Coke just feels good.\r\n<h2>6. Greasy Diner Breakfast</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2162\" title=\"dennys_grand-slamwich-v3\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dennys_grand-slamwich-v3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nWhether you’re pounding pancakes at IHOP, feasting on French toast at Norm’s or plowing through Moons Over My Hammy at <a href=\"http://www.dennys.com/en/page.aspx?ID=1\" target=\"_blank\">Denny’s</a>, greasy-ass diner food will help you booze-coated belly correct itself. Greasy food sticks to the stomach wall and help slow down the process of alcohol absorption. That’s not to say that you won’t feel like trash afterward, but it’ll be a different kind of trash – a much more manageable form of discomfort. If you have the chance to close the night out with some greasy food, that’s a solid hangover prevention method, but if you miss the prevention window, reach for some bacon in the morning.\r\n<h2>5. Gatorade + Banana</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2163\" title=\"gatorade + banana\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/gatorade-+-banana.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nElectrolytes. You need ‘em, man. When you’re recovering from a night of drunken excess, you’re bound to end up dehydrated. Drinking lots of water helps, yes, but a steady stream of electrolytes will hydrate you more quickly. Your hung-over body also needs an influx of Vitamin B and potassium. Drinking alcohol drains your levels of Vitamins B6 and B12. Bananas will calm your gut-hurt and expedite the metabolism of alcohol.\r\n<h2>4. Bloody Mary</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2164\" title=\"bloody mary\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bloody-mary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nIf you’re head is pounding and your stomach is sloshed with whatever god-awful combo of drinks you consumed last night, drinking more sounds like the last thing you wanna do. But more booze can actually help you right the ship. A nice breakfast cocktail like a Bloody Mary can serve the dual purpose of a breakfast and hangover remedy. This is a great option if food consumption is totally out of the question, and the tomato juice will help you metabolize alcohol more quickly.\r\n<h2>3. Pho</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2165\" title=\"pho1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pho1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nVietnamese rice noodles with broth and beef (or tripe or chicken) will hydrate you and fill your gut with a nice layer of nutrition, exfoliation and toxin-fighting spices. Don’t go too crazy with the hot sauce though. Under normal circumstances, unreasonable amounts of <a href=\"http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/images/sriracha-sauce.jpg \" target=\"_blank\">Sriracha</a> in your Pho would be a great idea, but when you’re dealing with a tender tummy, you gotta keep it mellow. Add some lime, basil, sweet Hoison sauce, cilantro, onions and bean sprouts, and go to town with a soup spoon and chopsticks in hand.\r\n<h2>2. Pad Thai</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2166\" title=\"big_padthai2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/big_padthai2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nMore rice noodle love here. Pad Thai will fill that void in your stomach with a tender helping of noodles, eggs, tamarind juice and some light protein like shrimp, chicken or tofu. I don’t know the science behind it, but it works like a charm.\r\n<h2>1. Matzo Ball Soup</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2170\" title=\"MatzohBallSoup_9_Katzs2_-_Version_2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/MatzohBallSoup_9_Katzs2_-_Version_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nThe medicinal healing powers of the matzo ball have been well documented throughout history. Known as <a href=\"http://www.jewishpenicillin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Jewish penicillin</a>, matzo ball soup can kill a hangover, eliminate pink eye and in some cases, even cure cancer. Embrace the power of the matzo. It’s the most comfortable comfort food ever invented.\r\n<strong>\r\nHonorable Mention List:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Borscht</li>\r\n	<li> Tom Yum Soup</li>\r\n	<li> Menudo</li>\r\n	<li> Haejangguk</li>\r\n</ul>','11 Awesome Hangover Cures','','publish','open','open','','11-awesome-hangover-cures','','','2011-01-03 11:42:24','2011-01-03 19:42:24','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2156',0,'post','',35),(2157,2,'2010-10-04 14:49:00','2010-10-04 21:49:00','','Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom','','inherit','open','open','','ginger_peach_iced_tea-a-zoom','','','2010-10-04 14:49:00','2010-10-04 21:49:00','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom_.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2158,2,'2010-10-04 14:49:24','2010-10-04 21:49:24','','honey','','inherit','open','open','','honey','','','2010-10-04 14:49:24','2010-10-04 21:49:24','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/honey.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2159,2,'2010-10-04 14:49:41','2010-10-04 21:49:41','','prickly_pear_bud_235','','inherit','open','open','','prickly_pear_bud_235','','','2010-10-04 14:49:41','2010-10-04 21:49:41','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/prickly_pear_bud_235.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2160,2,'2010-10-04 14:49:55','2010-10-04 21:49:55','','eggs','','inherit','open','open','','eggs','','','2010-10-04 14:49:55','2010-10-04 21:49:55','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/eggs.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2161,2,'2010-10-04 14:50:18','2010-10-04 21:50:18','','coca cola','','inherit','open','open','','coca-cola','','','2010-10-04 14:50:18','2010-10-04 21:50:18','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/coca-cola.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2162,2,'2010-10-04 14:50:44','2010-10-04 21:50:44','','dennys_grand-slamwich-v3','','inherit','open','open','','dennys_grand-slamwich-v3','','','2010-10-04 14:50:44','2010-10-04 21:50:44','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dennys_grand-slamwich-v3.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2163,2,'2010-10-04 14:51:00','2010-10-04 21:51:00','','gatorade + banana','','inherit','open','open','','gatorade-banana','','','2010-10-04 14:51:00','2010-10-04 21:51:00','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/gatorade-+-banana.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2164,2,'2010-10-04 14:51:16','2010-10-04 21:51:16','','bloody mary','','inherit','open','open','','bloody-mary','','','2010-10-04 14:51:16','2010-10-04 21:51:16','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bloody-mary.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2165,2,'2010-10-04 14:52:20','2010-10-04 21:52:20','','pho1','','inherit','open','open','','pho1','','','2010-10-04 14:52:20','2010-10-04 21:52:20','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pho1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2166,2,'2010-10-04 14:53:09','2010-10-04 21:53:09','','big_padthai2','','inherit','open','open','','big_padthai2','','','2010-10-04 14:53:09','2010-10-04 21:53:09','',2156,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/big_padthai2.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2167,2,'2010-10-04 14:53:33','2010-10-04 21:53:33','Hangovers are the worst. That nasty combo of headache, nausea and gut-pain can be cost you precious hours of your life.  While there are certainly preventative measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of a hangover (headache medication, food, lots of water before bed, etc.), inevitably you’re going to get stuck with a dirty hangover that you need to crush before it kills your day. Here are 11 awesome hangover cures that you can turn to when you need to ease the pain.\n<h2>11. Ginger</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2157\" title=\"Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nGinger is an all-purpose digestive aid. You can eat it with sushi, drink some ginger tea or mix ginger juice with water for a nausea-reducing elixir that’ll balance your gastric fluids and calm your system. This powerful antioxidant and anticoagulant can work wonders, but don’t consume fresh ginger on an empty stomach. Mix it up with something else.\n<h2>10. Honey</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2158\" title=\"honey\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/honey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nHoney is a great antioxidant that’s loaded with fructose and glucose. In Poland, people mix honey in with pickle juice for a hydrating, salty hangover-recovery treat. If the idea of honey pickle juice sounds foul to you, just take a couple table spoons of the magic bee sauce and enjoy the fresh coat of healing goodness.\n<h2>9. Prickly Pear</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2159\" title=\"prickly_pear_bud_235\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/prickly_pear_bud_235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nFor desert drunks, the prickly pear is a solid morning option that’ll help take the edge off the hurt. The extract from the prickly pear cactus can help reduce nausea, loss of appetite and dry mouth. You can find prickly pear extract in a bunch of different dietary supplements.\n<h2>8. Eggs</h2>\nYep, eggs. Eggs have cysteine in ‘em. Cysteine is an awesome amino acid that breaks down acetaldehyde, a toxin that’s a byproduct of the oxidation of ethanol. Acetaldehyde causes hangovers and eggs break down the acetaldehyde. So get over the fact that you don’t want breakfast and scramble that hangover out of your system.\n<h2>7. Coca Cola</h2>\nOh the sweet, sweet nectar of Coca Cola can do wonders for a messed up belly. Some say that Coca Cola was <a href=\"http://www.hamshrn.org/hangovercures/ \" target=\"_blank\">originally invented as a hangover cure</a>. I don’t know about all that, but whether you’ve eaten a big meal or you need to turn down the volume down in your stomach, a cold Coke just feels good.\n<h2>6. Greasy Diner Breakfast</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2162\" title=\"dennys_grand-slamwich-v3\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dennys_grand-slamwich-v3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nWhether you’re pounding pancakes at IHOP, feasting on French toast at Norm’s or plowing through Moons Over My Hammy at <a href=\"http://www.dennys.com/en/page.aspx?ID=1\" target=\"_blank\">Denny’s</a>, greasy-ass diner food will help you booze-coated belly correct itself. Greasy food sticks to the stomach wall and help slow down the process of alcohol absorption. That’s not to say that you won’t feel like trash afterward, but it’ll be a different kind of trash – a much more manageable form of discomfort. If you have the chance to close the night out with some greasy food, that’s a solid hangover prevention method, but if you miss the prevention window, reach for some bacon in the morning.\n<h2>5. Gatorade + Banana</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2163\" title=\"gatorade + banana\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/gatorade-+-banana.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nElectrolytes. You need ‘em, man. When you’re recovering from a night of drunken excess, you’re bound to end up dehydrated. Drinking lots of water helps, yes, but a steady stream of electrolytes will hydrate you more quickly. Your hung-over body also needs an influx of Vitamin B and potassium. Drinking alcohol drains your levels of Vitamins B6 and B12. Bananas will calm your gut-hurt and expedite the metabolism of alcohol.\n<h2>4. Bloody Mary</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2164\" title=\"bloody mary\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bloody-mary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nIf you’re head is pounding and your stomach is sloshed with whatever god-awful combo of drinks you consumed last night, drinking more sounds like the last thing you wanna do. But more booze can actually help you right the ship. A nice breakfast cocktail like a Bloody Mary can serve the dual purpose of a breakfast and hangover remedy. This is a great option if food consumption is totally out of the question, and the tomato juice will help you metabolize alcohol more quickly.\n<h2>3.

Eggs</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2168\" title=\"eggs\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/eggs1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nYep, eggs. Eggs have cysteine in ‘em. Cysteine is an awesome amino acid that breaks down acetaldehyde, a toxin that’s a byproduct of the oxidation of ethanol. Acetaldehyde causes hangovers and eggs break down the acetaldehyde. So get over the fact that you don’t want breakfast and scramble that hangover out of your system.\r\n<h2>7. Coca Cola</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2169\" title=\"coca-cola-can\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/coca-cola-can.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nOh the sweet, sweet nectar of Coca Cola can do wonders for a messed up belly. Some say that Coca Cola was <a href=\"http://www.hamshrn.org/hangovercures/ \" target=\"_blank\">originally invented as a hangover cure</a>. I don’t know about all that, but whether you’ve eaten a big meal or you need to turn down the volume down in your stomach, a cold Coke just feels good.\r\n<h2>6. Greasy Diner Breakfast</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2162\" title=\"dennys_grand-slamwich-v3\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dennys_grand-slamwich-v3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nWhether you’re pounding pancakes at IHOP, feasting on French toast at Norm’s or plowing through Moons Over My Hammy at <a href=\"http://www.dennys.com/en/page.aspx?ID=1\" target=\"_blank\">Denny’s</a>, greasy-ass diner food will help you booze-coated belly correct itself. Greasy food sticks to the stomach wall and help slow down the process of alcohol absorption. That’s not to say that you won’t feel like trash afterward, but it’ll be a different kind of trash – a much more manageable form of discomfort. If you have the chance to close the night out with some greasy food, that’s a solid hangover prevention method, but if you miss the prevention window, reach for some bacon in the morning.\r\n<h2>5. Gatorade + Banana</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2163\" title=\"gatorade + banana\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/gatorade-+-banana.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nElectrolytes. You need ‘em, man. When you’re recovering from a night of drunken excess, you’re bound to end up dehydrated. Drinking lots of water helps, yes, but a steady stream of electrolytes will hydrate you more quickly. Your hung-over body also needs an influx of Vitamin B and potassium. Drinking alcohol drains your levels of Vitamins B6 and B12. Bananas will calm your gut-hurt and expedite the metabolism of alcohol.\r\n<h2>4. Bloody Mary</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2164\" title=\"bloody mary\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bloody-mary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nIf you’re head is pounding and your stomach is sloshed with whatever god-awful combo of drinks you consumed last night, drinking more sounds like the last thing you wanna do. But more booze can actually help you right the ship. A nice breakfast cocktail like a Bloody Mary can serve the dual purpose of a breakfast and hangover remedy. This is a great option if food consumption is totally out of the question, and the tomato juice will help you metabolize alcohol more quickly.\r\n<h2>3. Pho</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2165\" title=\"pho1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pho1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nVietnamese rice noodles with broth and beef (or tripe or chicken) will hydrate you and fill your gut with a nice layer of nutrition, exfoliation and toxin-fighting spices. Don’t go too crazy with the hot sauce though. Under normal circumstances, unreasonable amounts of <a href=\"http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/images/sriracha-sauce.jpg \" target=\"_blank\">Sriracha</a> in your Pho would be a great idea, but when you’re dealing with a tender tummy, you gotta keep it mellow. Add some lime, basil, sweet Hoison sauce, cilantro, onions and bean sprouts, and go to town with a soup spoon and chopsticks in hand.\r\n<h2>2. Pad Thai</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2166\" title=\"big_padthai2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/big_padthai2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nMore rice noodle love here. Pad Thai will fill that void in your stomach with a tender helping of noodles, eggs, tamarind juice and some light protein like shrimp, chicken or tofu. I don’t know the science behind it, but it works like a charm.\r\n<h2>1. Matzo Ball Soup</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2170\" title=\"MatzohBallSoup_9_Katzs2_-_Version_2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/MatzohBallSoup_9_Katzs2_-_Version_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nThe medicinal healing powers of the matzo ball have been well documented throughout history. Known as <a href=\"http://www.jewishpenicillin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Jewish penicillin</a>, matzo ball soup can kill a hangover, eliminate pink eye and in some cases, even cure cancer.

That nasty combo of headache, nausea and gut-pain can cost you precious hours of your life.  While there are certainly preventative measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of a hangover (headache medication, food, lots of water before bed, etc.), inevitably you’re going to get stuck with a dirty hangover that you need to crush before it kills your day. Here are 11 awesome hangover cures that you can turn to when you need to ease the pain.\n<h2>11. Ginger</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2157\" title=\"Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nGinger is an all-purpose digestive aid. You can eat it with sushi, drink some ginger tea or mix ginger juice with water for a nausea-reducing elixir that’ll balance your gastric fluids and calm your system. This powerful antioxidant and anticoagulant can work wonders, but don’t consume fresh ginger on an empty stomach. Mix it up with something else.\n<h2>10.

In Poland, people mix honey in with pickle juice for a hydrating, salty hangover-recovery treat. If the idea of honey pickle juice sounds foul to you, just take a couple table spoons of the magic bee sauce and enjoy the fresh coat of healing goodness.\n<h2>9. Prickly Pear</h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2159\" title=\"prickly_pear_bud_235\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/prickly_pear_bud_235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\n\nFor desert drunks, the prickly pear is a solid morning option that’ll help take the edge off the hurt.

Drinking lots of water helps, yes, but a steady stream of electrolytes will hydrate you more quickly. Your hung-over body also needs an influx of Vitamin B and potassium. Drinking alcohol drains your levels of Vitamins B6 and B12. Bananas will calm your gut-hurt and expedite the metabolism of alcohol.\r\n<h2>4. Bloody Mary</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2164\" title=\"bloody mary\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bloody-mary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nIf you’re head is pounding and your stomach is sloshed with whatever god-awful combo of drinks you consumed last night, drinking more sounds like the last thing you wanna do. But more booze can actually help you right the ship. A nice breakfast cocktail like a Bloody Mary can serve the dual purpose of a breakfast and hangover remedy. This is a great option if food consumption is totally out of the question, and the tomato juice will help you metabolize alcohol more quickly.\r\n<h2>3. Pho</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2165\" title=\"pho1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pho1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nVietnamese rice noodles with broth and beef (or tripe or chicken) will hydrate you and fill your gut with a nice layer of nutrition, exfoliation and toxin-fighting spices. Don’t go too crazy with the hot sauce though. Under normal circumstances, unreasonable amounts of <a href=\"http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/images/sriracha-sauce.jpg \" target=\"_blank\">Sriracha</a> in your Pho would be a great idea, but when you’re dealing with a tender tummy, you gotta keep it mellow. Add some lime, basil, sweet Hoison sauce, cilantro, onions and bean sprouts, and go to town with a soup spoon and chopsticks in hand.\r\n<h2>2. Pad Thai</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2166\" title=\"big_padthai2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/big_padthai2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nMore rice noodle love here. Pad Thai will fill that void in your stomach with a tender helping of noodles, eggs, tamarind juice and some light protein like shrimp, chicken or tofu. I don’t know the science behind it, but it works like a charm.\r\n<h2>1.

That nasty combo of headache, nausea and gut-pain can be cost you precious hours of your life.  While there are certainly preventative measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of a hangover (headache medication, food, lots of water before bed, etc.), inevitably you’re going to get stuck with a dirty hangover that you need to crush before it kills your day. Here are 11 awesome hangover cures that you can turn to when you need to ease the pain.\r\n<h2>11. Ginger</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2157\" title=\"Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nGinger is an all-purpose digestive aid. You can eat it with sushi, drink some ginger tea or mix ginger juice with water for a nausea-reducing elixir that’ll balance your gastric fluids and calm your system. This powerful antioxidant and anticoagulant can work wonders, but don’t consume fresh ginger on an empty stomach. Mix it up with something else.\r\n<h2>10. Honey</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2158\" title=\"honey\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/honey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nHoney is a great antioxidant that’s loaded with fructose and glucose. In Poland, people mix honey in with pickle juice for a hydrating, salty hangover-recovery treat. If the idea of honey pickle juice sounds foul to you, just take a couple table spoons of the magic bee sauce and enjoy the fresh coat of healing goodness.\r\n<h2>9. Prickly Pear</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2159\" title=\"prickly_pear_bud_235\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/prickly_pear_bud_235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nFor desert drunks, the prickly pear is a solid morning option that’ll help take the edge off the hurt. The extract from the prickly pear cactus can help reduce nausea, loss of appetite and dry mouth. You can find prickly pear extract in a bunch of different dietary supplements.\r\n<h2>8. Eggs</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2168\" title=\"eggs\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/eggs1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nYep, eggs. Eggs have cysteine in ‘em. Cysteine is an awesome amino acid that breaks down acetaldehyde, a toxin that’s a byproduct of the oxidation of ethanol. Acetaldehyde causes hangovers and eggs break down the acetaldehyde. So get over the fact that you don’t want breakfast and scramble that hangover out of your system.\r\n<h2>7. Coca Cola</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2169\" title=\"coca-cola-can\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/coca-cola-can.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nOh the sweet, sweet nectar of Coca Cola can do wonders for a messed up belly. Some say that Coca Cola was <a href=\"http://www.hamshrn.org/hangovercures/ \" target=\"_blank\">originally invented as a hangover cure</a>. I don’t know about all that, but whether you’ve eaten a big meal or you need to turn down the volume down in your stomach, a cold Coke just feels good.\r\n<h2>6. Greasy Diner Breakfast</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2162\" title=\"dennys_grand-slamwich-v3\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dennys_grand-slamwich-v3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nWhether you’re pounding pancakes at IHOP, feasting on French toast at Norm’s or plowing through Moons Over My Hammy at <a href=\"http://www.dennys.com/en/page.aspx?ID=1\" target=\"_blank\">Denny’s</a>, greasy-ass diner food will help you booze-coated belly correct itself. Greasy food sticks to the stomach wall and help slow down the process of alcohol absorption. That’s not to say that you won’t feel like trash afterward, but it’ll be a different kind of trash – a much more manageable form of discomfort. If you have the chance to close the night out with some greasy food, that’s a solid hangover prevention method, but if you miss the prevention window, reach for some bacon in the morning.\r\n<h2>5. Gatorade + Banana</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2163\" title=\"gatorade + banana\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/gatorade-+-banana.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nElectrolytes.

Known as <a href=\"http://www.jewishpenicillin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Jewish penicillin</a>, matzo ball soup can kill a hangover, eliminate pink eye and in some cases, even cure cancer. Embrace the power of the matzo. It’s the most comfortable comfort food ever invented.','11 Awesome Hangover Cures','','inherit','open','open','','2156-revision-8','','','2010-10-04 15:10:29','2010-10-04 22:10:29','',2156,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2156-revision-8/',0,'revision','',0),(2180,2,'2010-10-04 15:10:34','2010-10-04 22:10:34','Hangovers are the worst. That nasty combo of headache, nausea and gut-pain can be cost you precious hours of your life.  While there are certainly preventative measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of a hangover (headache medication, food, lots of water before bed, etc.), inevitably you’re going to get stuck with a dirty hangover that you need to crush before it kills your day. Here are 11 awesome hangover cures that you can turn to when you need to ease the pain.\r\n<h2>11. Ginger</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2157\" title=\"Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nGinger is an all-purpose digestive aid. You can eat it with sushi, drink some ginger tea or mix ginger juice with water for a nausea-reducing elixir that’ll balance your gastric fluids and calm your system. This powerful antioxidant and anticoagulant can work wonders, but don’t consume fresh ginger on an empty stomach. Mix it up with something else.\r\n<h2>10. Honey</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2158\" title=\"honey\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/honey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nHoney is a great antioxidant that’s loaded with fructose and glucose. In Poland, people mix honey in with pickle juice for a hydrating, salty hangover-recovery treat. If the idea of honey pickle juice sounds foul to you, just take a couple table spoons of the magic bee sauce and enjoy the fresh coat of healing goodness.\r\n<h2>9. Prickly Pear</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2159\" title=\"prickly_pear_bud_235\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/prickly_pear_bud_235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nFor desert drunks, the prickly pear is a solid morning option that’ll help take the edge off the hurt. The extract from the prickly pear cactus can help reduce nausea, loss of appetite and dry mouth. You can find prickly pear extract in a bunch of different dietary supplements.\r\n<h2>8. Eggs</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2168\" title=\"eggs\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/eggs1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nYep, eggs. Eggs have cysteine in ‘em. Cysteine is an awesome amino acid that breaks down acetaldehyde, a toxin that’s a byproduct of the oxidation of ethanol. Acetaldehyde causes hangovers and eggs break down the acetaldehyde. So get over the fact that you don’t want breakfast and scramble that hangover out of your system.\r\n<h2>7. Coca Cola</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2169\" title=\"coca-cola-can\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/coca-cola-can.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nOh the sweet, sweet nectar of Coca Cola can do wonders for a messed up belly. Some say that Coca Cola was <a href=\"http://www.hamshrn.org/hangovercures/ \" target=\"_blank\">originally invented as a hangover cure</a>. I don’t know about all that, but whether you’ve eaten a big meal or you need to turn down the volume down in your stomach, a cold Coke just feels good.\r\n<h2>6. Greasy Diner Breakfast</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2162\" title=\"dennys_grand-slamwich-v3\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dennys_grand-slamwich-v3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nWhether you’re pounding pancakes at IHOP, feasting on French toast at Norm’s or plowing through Moons Over My Hammy at <a href=\"http://www.dennys.com/en/page.aspx?ID=1\" target=\"_blank\">Denny’s</a>, greasy-ass diner food will help you booze-coated belly correct itself. Greasy food sticks to the stomach wall and help slow down the process of alcohol absorption. That’s not to say that you won’t feel like trash afterward, but it’ll be a different kind of trash – a much more manageable form of discomfort. If you have the chance to close the night out with some greasy food, that’s a solid hangover prevention method, but if you miss the prevention window, reach for some bacon in the morning.\r\n<h2>5. Gatorade + Banana</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2163\" title=\"gatorade + banana\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/gatorade-+-banana.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nElectrolytes. You need ‘em, man. When you’re recovering from a night of drunken excess, you’re bound to end up dehydrated. Drinking lots of water helps, yes, but a steady stream of electrolytes will hydrate you more quickly. Your hung-over body also needs an influx of Vitamin B and potassium. Drinking alcohol drains your levels of Vitamins B6 and B12. Bananas will calm your gut-hurt and expedite the metabolism of alcohol.\r\n<h2>4. Bloody Mary</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2164\" title=\"bloody mary\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bloody-mary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nIf you’re head is pounding and your stomach is sloshed with whatever god-awful combo of drinks you consumed last night, drinking more sounds like the last thing you wanna do. But more booze can actually help you right the ship. A nice breakfast cocktail like a Bloody Mary can serve the dual purpose of a breakfast and hangover remedy. This is a great option if food consumption is totally out of the question, and the tomato juice will help you metabolize alcohol more quickly.\r\n<h2>3. Pho</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2165\" title=\"pho1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pho1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nVietnamese rice noodles with broth and beef (or tripe or chicken) will hydrate you and fill your gut with a nice layer of nutrition, exfoliation and toxin-fighting spices. Don’t go too crazy with the hot sauce though. Under normal circumstances, unreasonable amounts of <a href=\"http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/images/sriracha-sauce.jpg \" target=\"_blank\">Sriracha</a> in your Pho would be a great idea, but when you’re dealing with a tender tummy, you gotta keep it mellow. Add some lime, basil, sweet Hoison sauce, cilantro, onions and bean sprouts, and go to town with a soup spoon and chopsticks in hand.\r\n<h2>2. Pad Thai</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2166\" title=\"big_padthai2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/big_padthai2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nMore rice noodle love here. Pad Thai will fill that void in your stomach with a tender helping of noodles, eggs, tamarind juice and some light protein like shrimp, chicken or tofu. I don’t know the science behind it, but it works like a charm.\r\n<h2>1. Matzo Ball Soup</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2170\" title=\"MatzohBallSoup_9_Katzs2_-_Version_2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/MatzohBallSoup_9_Katzs2_-_Version_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nThe medicinal healing powers of the matzo ball have been well documented throughout history. Known as <a href=\"http://www.jewishpenicillin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Jewish penicillin</a>, matzo ball soup can kill a hangover, eliminate pink eye and in some cases, even cure cancer.

You can also dress them up (as opposed to wearing black pants) with a nice button-down shirt.\r\n\r\n<strong>Entering the fall fashion season, who do you see leading the charge as a true men’s style icon?</strong>\r\nTo me, David Beckham, Robert Downey Jr, and Justin Timberlake, always look sharp and put together without looking like they\'re trying too hard.\r\n\r\n<strong>What do you think girls prefer more, boxers, briefs or those boxer-brief things?</strong>\r\nPersonally, I\'m into the boxer briefs, because they are a balance of sexy and masculine whether a guy has even thought of that or not. I feel like boxers seem like your wearing shorts under your pants, and the tightie whitie thing is just not for me.\r\n\r\n<strong>Most guys don’t like to shop at a bunch of different stores. Is there a one-stop shop that’s a good place to get everything we need?</strong>\r\nDepending on where you live, Bloomingdale\'s always has a huge variety of everything. I\'m also a huge fan of Urban Outfitters, Old Navy, H &amp;M, and Express for more affordable items from basic to trendy.\r\n\r\n<strong>What should a guy wear to a club/bar/night-on-the-down situation?</strong>\r\n\r\nI\'m all about dressing for who you are and what you’re most comfortable in so I hate to say \"wear this\" or \"wear that\" because everyone is different. The general rule for wanting to look \"dressed\" for a nice night out? No sandals or flip-flops, and whatever else your wearing should fit your body well.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What kind of clothes do girls really like to see on a guy?</strong>\r\nSimplistic, relaxed looks. I like a pizza eating, not afraid to get dirt under their fingernails type of guy, so the less fuss the better. I think most real girls can appreciate a guy in a pair of jeans, a nice fitting clean t-shirt or button-down with the sleeves rolled up.\r\n\r\n<strong>If a sneaker-loving guy needs to invest in an affordable pair of comfortable dress shoes, what brands/styles to you recommend?</strong>\r\nI love Ted Baker! Also, Kenneth Cole and Banana Republic are good go-to\'s\r\n\r\n<strong>What hats are totally out of style this fall?</strong>\r\nAny hats that are printed. This excludes stripes or plaid which I adore and are always in style.','Interview with Style Expert Lindsay Albanese','','inherit','open','open','','2181-revision-3','','','2010-10-04 15:36:31','2010-10-04 22:36:31','',2181,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2181-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(2187,9,'2010-10-04 17:13:00','2010-10-05 00:13:00','<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" 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/_eJmYKN_1QE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_eJmYKN_1QE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','Geek and Gamer Girls','','publish','open','open','','geek-and-gamer-girls','','','2010-10-04 17:13:00','2010-10-05 00:13:00','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2187',0,'post','',0),(2188,2,'2010-10-04 17:12:41','2010-10-05 00:12:41','','Geek and Gamer Girls','','inherit','open','open','','2187-revision','','','2010-10-04 17:12:41','2010-10-05 00:12:41','',2187,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2187-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(2189,2,'2010-10-04 17:14:04','2010-10-05 00:14:04','<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" 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/_eJmYKN_1QE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/_eJmYKN_1QE?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','Geek and Gamer Girls','','inherit','open','open','','2187-autosave','','','2010-10-04 17:14:04','2010-10-05 00:14:04','',2187,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2187-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(2190,12,'2010-10-18 10:21:38','2010-10-18 17:21:38','<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/moeprankcall.jpg\"><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-2191 alignright\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/moeprankcall-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" /></a>Remember when you were a kid and the best form of entertainment in the world was finding the perfect victim to prank call?

New England got a third-round pick for the future Hall of Famer. In the first four weeks of the season, Moss posted 9 catches for 139 yards and three touchdowns. He dropped a hastily thrown touchdown pass on Monday night, his only target in the game. It was the first game that Moss failed to register a catch in a Patriots uniform.\r\n\r\nDespite his amazing skill set, it’s obvious that Moss was becoming a distraction. Remember that <a href=\"http://www.nfl.com/videos/new-england-patriots/09000d5d81a794f0/Moss-goes-off-on-press-fans \" target=\"_blank\">bizarre press conference</a> after the Pats beat the Bengals in Week 1? That was the beginning.\r\n\r\n\"Sometimes you want your boss to tell you you\'re doing a good job.  That\'s every man or woman who works for somebody. ... And that\'s just  the way with football. If you do a good job and think that you\'re doing a  good job, you want to be appreciated. I really don\'t think that — me,  personally — that I\'m appreciated.\"\r\n\r\nIt’s one thing to be motivated by a contract year, but it’s different when you’re a semi-disgruntled receiver looking for appreciation from a shrewd franchise that’s not going to give you a big payday.\r\n\r\nSo if you’re Moss, why not bitch and moan and get an early release? And if you’re the Pats, why go out of your way to keep this guy happy for 12 more games when you know he’s out anyway? Why not get something in return for him now.\r\n\r\nI like the move. The Vikings are desperate for results and the Pats have shown in the past that they can win without a superstar receiver.\r\n\r\nRemember that New England got Moss from the Raiders for a fourth round pick in the 2007 Draft. The Raiders used the pick to select cornerback John Bowie. Bowie went on to record two tackles in the NFL. He now plays for the Hartford Colonials in the UFL.\r\n\r\nMoss, on the other hand, started 51 games for the Pats and caught 259 passes for 3,904 yards and 50 touchdowns. He averaged 15.1 yards per catch with the team and in 2007 he set NFL records for the most touchdowns in a season (23), the most games with at least two touchdown catches (8) and the most touchdowns scored in the first 10 games with a new team (16).\r\n\r\nSo after all that production and glory, the Pats still flipped Moss for a higher round pick. Sure he’s still got it, and yea, Brady’s ability to make big plays down the field takes a hit, but the Pats made the right move. They can accelerate the progression of explosive 2009 third round pick Brandon Tate (who’s already scored two touchdowns off kick returns this year). They play up the no-one-is-bigger-than-the-team angle, and they can feel confident that they got an amazing return on their 2007 investment.\r\n\r\nIt works for Minnesota, too. The Vikings get their franchise’s most popular player back. Favre gets a much needed weapon to stretch the field. Percy Harvin gets to focus on possessions and short routes. Adrian Peterson gets breathing room to run.\r\n\r\nIt’s pretty awesome that Moss gets to play in back-to-back Monday Night Football games. He squares off against Darrelle Revis and the Jets next week. You also got to love the fact that Moss and the Vikings have to travel to New England on Halloween. If Brady can maintain the borderline-psychotic intensity that he displayed on Monday, and if Favre can find a way to be effective again, that’s going to be one hell of a game to watch.

That\'s a statement. Something stinks in <a href=\"http://www.dallascowboys.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Dallas</a>, and the stank has been festering for well over a decade.\r\n\r\nThe spotlight is fixed upon Wade Phillips. Not a broad spot, somewhat capturing the folks standing next to him, but a pin-spot, right on the head coach\'s face. Man, he looks miserable. The Cowboys went to 1-7 last night vs. Green Bay, and in a manner so embarrassing, it left owner Jerry Jones stating that there would be \"consequences\" for the Cowboys poor play. Consequences? Like what? Being released to play for a contender? And by contender I mean a squad who might actually contend to win a single game.\r\n\r\n<em>As I pound the keys on the board, Phillips is still in as captain, by the time I\'m done, I suspect an official announcement may be made that he\'s not--all major news sources are stating that he has been canned, and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Garrett\" target=\"_blank\">Jason Garrett</a> will serve as interim head coach.\r\n</em>\r\n\r\nLet\'s jump back to training camp--this 2010 season, the season in which most analysts crowned the Cowboys the Champions of the NFC, destined to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium. Oh, if only they functioned half as well as that stadium. Training camp. Rookie first-rounder Dez Bryant shows up, walkin\' like a man--like a veteran, dismissing rookie hazing and refusing to play grab-ass and pad-carry for veteran Roy Williams. Backlash. Why? Because that\'s what you do in the NFL. You adhere to the system in place. The status quo. The antiquated, hasn\'t worked in 15 years, system that is in place. And Bryant\'s reasoning? He was drafted to help the team win games, not carry pads.\r\n\r\nIt is a sad state of affairs when a rookie wide receiver comes into camp more focused to task than a \"should know better\" veteran such as Roy Williams--as overrated as Williams may certainly be.\r\n\r\nRewind a little further to the off-season. Jerry Jones, drunk in a bar, mouthing about Bill Parcells, Tim Tebow not being worth a third-round draft pick and Tony Romo being \"The Miracle.\" I was a little confused about \"miracle\"--trying to determine if Jerry used the word miracle meaning that someone who seems more interested in golf is somehow considered a prolific NFL quarterback. Or it was a \"miracle\" that he wasn\'t drawn and quartered after fumbling \"the snap\" on that hold those few years ago.\r\n\r\nWhat\'s wrong with the Dallas Cowboys? Why, <a href=\"http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/jerry_jones_embarrassed_by_cowboys/3522127\" target=\"_blank\">Jerry Jones</a> is what\'s wrong with the Dallas Cowboys.\r\n\r\nSure, Wade Phillips would have never won a Super Bowl as a head coach in Dallas--I say would have, because I\'m pretty sure he\'s gone. I don\'t even think he\'ll ever <em>get</em> to a Super Bowl as a head coach, regardless of where he is. In all fairness, I think he seems like a stellar guy--a genuinely wonderful human being, but as far as coach--never gonna happen. Yet, it is still Jerry Jones who has stuck by Phillips, even when it was obvious that this season was off to a dangerous start after two weeks. Jerry is complaining about the level of play, yet he\'s the one who symbolically waved the white flag weeks ago. He\'s the one who said that the franchise would stay the course.\r\n\r\nI admire Jerry Jones\'s passion for his beloved Cowboys. I love that he spares no expense to offer every opportunity to the guys wearing the stars on their hats. His stadium is without a doubt the finest sporting arena to be found in this great nation--perhaps the world. Even still. Bottom line. Jerry Jones has mismanaged his own franchise for years. Even through the glorious 90s, he couldn\'t offer what was necessary to sustain dominance, because it somehow meant that he possessed less control. I\'m not saying Jones has gone <a href=\"http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kvyslvILon1qz8sgpo1_400.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Al Davis</a>, but the line he\'s been dancing on over the past decade isn\'t promising for the future of the organization.\r\n\r\nThe talent on this 2010 roster, and this team is 1-7? Cripes, the Browns are 3-5 with wins over New Orleans and New England. How <em>does</em> this happen? It happens when an owner is so certain that he knows the game better than everyone else that talent trumps heart, and potential trumps performance. At present, Jones is \"analyzing\" performance to make necessary changes...perhaps a glance into the mirror would assist in gathering analytical data. It trickles down, Mr. Jones.\r\n\r\n<em>Seems it\'s official. Phillips is out, Garrett is in. </em>','What\'s Really Wrong With the Dallas Cowboys','','publish','open','open','','whats-really-wrong-with-the-dallas-cowboys','','','2010-11-08 17:46:13','2010-11-09 01:46:13','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2631',0,'post','',0),(2231,3,'2010-10-07 14:14:16','2010-10-07 21:14:16','Oh yes, you can even use it on your boat....\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lightweight-Handheld-Cellular-Phone.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2227 alignnone\" title=\"Lightweight Handheld Cellular Phone\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lightweight-Handheld-Cellular-Phone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"575\" /></a>\r\n\r\nVia <a href=\"http://twitpic.com/2vhhno\" target=\"_blank\">Twitpic</a> (Thanks <a href=\"http://www.sexcigarsbooze.com/\" target=\"_blank\">SexCigarsBooze</a>)','Lightweight Handheld Cellular Phone','','publish','open','open','','lightweight-handheld-cellular-phone-2','','','2010-10-07 14:15:03','2010-10-07 21:15:03','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2231',0,'post','',0),(2232,2,'2010-10-07 14:14:16','2010-10-07 21:14:16','Oh yes, you can even use it on your boat....\n\n<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lightweight-Handheld-Cellular-Phone.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2227 alignnone\" title=\"Lightweight Handheld Cellular Phone\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lightweight-Handheld-Cellular-Phone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"575\" /></a>\n\nVia <a href=\"http://twitpic.com/2vhhno\" target=\"_blank\">Twitpic</a> (Thanks <a href=\"http://www.sexcigarsbooze.com/\" target=\"_blank\">SexCigarsBooze</a>)','Lightweight Handheld Cellular Phone','','inherit','open','open','','2231-revision','','','2010-10-07 14:14:16','2010-10-07 21:14:16','',2231,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2231-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(2233,2,'2010-10-07 14:14:24','2010-10-07 21:14:24','Oh yes, you can even use it on your boat....\n\n<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lightweight-Handheld-Cellular-Phone.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2227 alignnone\" title=\"Lightweight Handheld Cellular Phone\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lightweight-Handheld-Cellular-Phone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"575\" /></a>\n\nVia <a href=\"http://twitpic.com/2vhhno\" target=\"_blank\">Twitpic</a> (Thanks <a href=\"http://www.sexcigarsbooze.com/\" target=\"_blank\">SexCigarsBooze</a>)','Lightweight Handheld Cellular Phone','','inherit','open','open','','2231-revision-2','','','2010-10-07 14:14:24','2010-10-07 21:14:24','',2231,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2231-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(2235,2,'2010-10-07 14:14:36','2010-10-07 21:14:36','Oh yes, you can even use it on your boat....\n\n<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lightweight-Handheld-Cellular-Phone.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2227 alignnone\" title=\"Lightweight Handheld Cellular Phone\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Lightweight-Handheld-Cellular-Phone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"575\" /></a>\n\nVia <a href=\"http://twitpic.com/2vhhno\" target=\"_blank\">Twitpic</a> (Thanks <a href=\"http://www.sexcigarsbooze.com/\" target=\"_blank\">SexCigarsBooze</a>)','Lightweight Handheld Cellular Phone','','inherit','open','open','','2231-revision-3','','','2010-10-07 14:14:36','2010-10-07 21:14:36','',2231,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2231-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(2236,9,'2010-10-07 16:57:28','2010-10-07 23:57:28','Paper animation from a galaxy far, far away... \r\n\r\n<object width=\"560\" height=\"340\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Fp7UzGSg8g0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\"></param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"></param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"></param><embed src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/Fp7UzGSg8g0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\"></embed></object>','Jeremy Messersmith -

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.

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-13','','','2010-09-28 11:41:49','2010-09-28 18:41:49','',1789,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1789-revision-13/',0,'revision','',0),(2253,2,'2010-08-12 13:50:38','2010-08-12 20:50:38','<img class=\"size-full wp-image-1459 alignnone\" title=\"colin cowhered sportsnation - interview\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/colin-cowhered-sportsnation-interview.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\r\n\r\nColin Cowherd is an easy guy not to like.

On my way into work, I started tuning in to ESPN Radio, and that’s when I caught <a href=\"http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/show?showId=theherd\" target=\"_blank\">The Herd</a>, Colin’s radio show. The first thing I thought when I heard him was man, this guy’s annoying as hell.\r\n\r\nBut I kept listening. It was the strangest thing; I just couldn’t get enough of the guy. The more I tuned in, the more I told myself that I was listening to this guy because he was annoying and different and he said things I didn’t agree with. I listened so that I could be engaged by his program in a negative way. But a funny thing happened the more I listened. I gradually stopped being engaged in a negative way, and I just became engaged.\r\n\r\nThe dude makes you want to listen to him.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1440\" title=\"colin cowherd and michelle beadle sportsnation\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/colin-cowherd-and-michelle-beadle-sportsnation.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"271\" />Contrast Colin’s style to a guy like Jim Rome. <a href=\"http://www.jimrome.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Rome’s show</a> is littered with pauses and repetition. He says something… and then he lets it sit in the air for a second… and then he says it again. Colin doesn’t do that. He’s got too much to say every morning to take an approach like that. Whether he’s deconstructing the realities of college football, clowning on the government with Curt Schilling, making fun of Jack Johnson’s way-too-mellow music or going on a rant about small market teams, Colin always has something to say.\r\n\r\nAnd that’s refreshing. Really, it is. When a guy can be articulate logical, intriguing takes in nanoseconds and build up an argument or a stance that’s founded in logic – even if you don’t agree with it – that makes for good radio. And it makes for good television, too.\r\n\r\nColin’s made the jump from radio to TV with the show <a href=\"http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/\" target=\"_blank\">SportsNation</a>. The show appears on ESPN2 at it features Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle in a serious of segments’ where they talk about the sports stories of the day and integrate the results of polls that are featured on <a href=\"http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN.com</a>. It’s less stale than PTI. It features more segments, more Michelle Beadle and a lot less Kornheiser.\r\n\r\nI spoke with Colin Cowherd recently and we talked about the show, his style, the differences between radio and TV and what it’s like to work with the lovely Michelle Beadle. Here’s how the interview went down:\r\n\r\nCS: What’s it like shifting from radio to TV? Are you getting more celeb treatment now when you’re out and about?\r\n\r\nCC: Oh yea, I think TV makes you visible. You know, I knew that going in. But I don’t notice it much, cause my head’s down. I basically come to ESPN to work then I go home, so it’s not like I hang out a lot. So I’ve never really noticed that stuff much. I’ll notice it in the airports, but that’s about it.\r\n\r\nCS: So you do The Herd and you tape Sports Nation at the same spot in Bristol?\r\n\r\nCC: Yea, just down the hall.\r\n\r\nCS: Gotcha. And what do you like better, radio or TV?\r\n\r\nCC: Oh, it depends. I mean there’s a lot of things about TV that I really love. It’s a funny staff, it’s easier.  I mean let’s be honest, if you do something and it’s fun and it’s easier – radio is more ditch digging and it’s hard to come up every day with different topics especially in June, July and August. Anybody could do radio in the football season, but to keep doing the May, June, July and August radio, it’s tough. You know baseball’s not a great, driving subject on syndicated radio, because there’s only two monthly games that the nation really cares about. You know people in Cincinnati care about the Reds, but you put the Reds on ESPN and nobody watches. And that’s just the reality of it. I see the ratings, so you know radio is hard, but when you have a great show the way you feel is very rewarding.\r\n\r\nCS: So you said it’s more difficult, but how does the preparation for The Herd differ from what you do for SportsNation?\r\n\r\nCC: Preparation for my radio show is about 2 ½ hours. It’s really trying – I love it – but it’s trying. You know the TV show prep’s closer to 30 minutes.\r\n\r\nCS: Oh wow.\r\n\r\nCC: I’ve already done preparations because I did the radio show. So television is just sort of getting a sense of readdressing topics that you’ve already talked about and how Beadle and I are going to go about it, and then what we’re going to argue about. So it’s much easier prep for TV.\r\n\r\nCS: I gotta say Coli,n when I first started listening to The Herd, you kind of rubbed me the wrong way at first. I was like, I don’t know if I agree with this guy, and I kind of just tuned in like I was watching Fox News just to hear some opposing viewpoints and takes that weren’t mine. But the more I started tuning in, you kinda won me over a bit. Have other listeners expressed this to you? Like “hey I didn’t like you at first man, but you kinda won me over.”<!--more-->\r\n\r\nCC: Well I think like nobody liked Simon Cowell initially. The first time you hear Howard Stern it’s different. I think anybody with a strong personality, initially you’re just not used to it. Because most people don’t have strong opinions. So you know, whether it’s political or sports or entertainment, I think anybody with a strong opinion comes off initially as, you know, whether you’re<strong> </strong>are a consumer or listener or a viewer your initial reaction is “Whoa whoa slow down!”\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs) Yea.\r\n\r\nCC: But then I think over time, I think it’s hard to deny that if you listen to my show every day and if you give it two or three weeks, it’s hard to deny that we don’t put on a pretty good product. We work our tails off, we really take it seriously, and with every single segment I’ve thought about. So, I mean people can fire cheap shots, but I know when I’m good and I know when I’m not. I mean you know when you’re writing a column, is it good or is it not? You know when you’re really doing well.\r\n\r\nCS: Right.\r\n\r\nCC: Everybody knows that. It doesn’t matter if you work in a warehouse or you work on Wall Street. So I always feel that we do more good work than not good work.\r\n\r\nCS: Yea, I tend to agree. So back to SportsNation for a sec, what’s it like working with Michelle Beadle? She seems like she really knows her shit.\r\n\r\nCC: Yea she’s funny and smart, you know, and the things I appreciate about her are things the audience doesn’t see. She’s really got a wit, she’s got an ability to take anything I throw at her, she can fill in the blanks if I don’t have a great day. The audience sees this beautiful, likeable funny person and I just see like a broadcast professional who does all the little things well. So I could literally walk on to that set with no notes and you know she would just fill in the blanks. She’s got a real good sense of tempo and comedic timing. It’s hard to explain unless you’re right next to her.\r\n\r\nCS: Right. Well what’s your favorite SportsNation segment? You guys have got a lot of different segments.\r\n\r\nCC: You know it’s funny, the Pirate’s growing on me. I mean Ron Burgundy is great because it’s so absurd and I can just be a complete douche. I mean I can literally with Ron Burgundy say things you’d never be allowed in the history of this network to say.\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs)\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1442\" title=\"colin cowherd sportsnation\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/colin-cowherd-sportsnation.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"393\" />CC: That’s just funny. And I like any time I get to go outside and like use a water hose on people or I like any time we go outside the studio, like into the parking lot. I just think it looks different and the guys on the show, the staff, are really funny. Again the stuff you don’t see on SportsNation is the stuff I love. You know you see the big splashy video, but the behind the scenes stuff is what makes it a gas.\r\n\r\nCS: It’s much more enjoyable to actually shoot the thing, eh?\r\n\r\nCC: Yea, it’s really fun.\r\n\r\nCS: So on yesterday’s radio show you talked a little bit about how college athletes get comped for all kinds of things.\r\n\r\nCC: Yea.\r\n\r\nCS: Like food, clothing, transportation, living expenses, tuition all that. Do you think there will ever be a time when college athletes get paid more for their efforts?\r\n\r\nCC: I don’t. I don’t understand the college football guy getting paid. I mean think about this – we do realize right that with these footballs powers, 80% of the guys on the football team wouldn’t be allowed in the college unless they could run really fast? And now we want to pay them? I mean shouldn’t we understand that, by the way a free education is compensation? People do get that right?\r\n\r\nCS: Right.\r\n\r\nCC: So if you’re getting a $40,000 scholarship a year you’re getting $40,000. We just don’t value education. So the idea they’re not getting paid, uh, yea they are, about $90,000 a year if you add room, board, clothing, education. They get about $90,000 a year.\r\n\r\nCS: Yea, that’s definitely more than I got in college.\r\n\r\nCC: Yea.\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs). What do you think about Nick Saban’s recent comments when he compared agents who paid college players to pimps?\r\n\r\nCC: Well everybody – the agents are like the IRS. They’re like the media, nobody likes them. But you know what? It still comes down to personal accountability.\r\n\r\nCS: Right.\r\n\r\nCC: You could offer me drugs, if I say “no” I make the drug dealer irrelevant. And you can keep blaming the agents, and they’re certainly not perfect, but most agents are good. Most agents are above board. And Reggie Bush knew exactly what he was doing. Stop blaming people for you accepting stuff, be it money, drugs, cash, whatever.\r\n\r\nCS: Yea. I mean that makes sense, the accountability thing. The whole moral compass is still there even when you’re college aged.\r\n\r\nCC: Yea. If my son went to Florida and accepted money, I’m supposed to yell at the agent? No, I’m going to punish my son. He took the money. He lacked an ethical compass.\r\n\r\nCS: Do you think Reggie Bush should give back the Heisman and if so, do you think Vince Young should refuse to accept it?\r\n\r\nCC: Oh I’m not a big fan of giving somebody the award. I mean Reggie was the best player.\r\n\r\nCS: Right.\r\n\r\nCC: Listen, the Heisman people are not moralists. That’s not their job. Their job is to give it to the best football player. The NCAA’s job is to be basically the moralists of college football; the ethical compass of football is the NCAA. That’s not the Heisman’s job. The Heisman’s job is “who’s the best player? Let’s give him the award.” I don’t think they want to go there. I don’t think the Heisman committee wants to get into taking away awards based on off-field stuff.\r\n\r\nCS: Right. It was like the rookie the NFL player who won the defensive player of the year award [Brian Cushing]. Where they just re-voted and gave it right back to him.\r\n\r\nCC: Yea.\r\n\r\nCS: It’s the same kind of thing. I mean you can’t really go back and factor in all this off-field stuff when it’s strictly a performance-based situation.\r\n\r\nCC: Right.\r\n\r\nCS: So why do you think the NFL’s the most popular sports league in America?\r\n\r\nCC: You can bet it, it’s once a week. Society has gotten more phonetic and more demanding. We have less time. And so it’s much easier to ask a busy guy on Sunday to show up at 1 and 4 and watch games then ask him to sit Monday through Friday like baseball and the NBA and hockey and keep up with a million games and a million players. He can’t do it. But he can watch -- what are the sports that are coming up? MMA, NFL, college football. Light, once a week, once a month, big games on the weekends so a busy guy can stay up to date without feeling overwhelmed like he does in baseball, the NBA, or the NHL.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1445\" title=\"colin cowherd - sportsnation espn\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/colin-cowherd-sportsnation-espn.jpg\" alt=\"colin cowherd - sportsnation espn\" width=\"283\" height=\"380\" />CS: So do you think it makes sense for the NFL to expand its regular season? You think they’re gonna do that? The whole 18 games thing?\r\n\r\nCC: No. No, fewer’s better. My radio got better when I went from four hours to three. More is not better. More food is not better, better food is better.\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs)\r\n\r\nCC: I think more NFL games means more injuries, more star players get hurt. It dilutes the product and I think it hurts small markets cause they don’t have as many stars generally speaking.\r\n\r\nCS: Yea, how’s Jacksonville gonna sell out tickets for 18 straight games?\r\n\r\nCC: Well yea, and by the way one or two injuries to Buffalo, Charlotte, Jacksonville -- and by the way, as good as Indianapolis is, one injury to Peyton Manning and they stink.\r\n\r\nCS: Right.\r\n\r\nCC: You know don’t use Indianapolis as this small market team; they basically drafted the right superstar. They’re basically Cleveland with Lebron. They drafted the right guy. But free agents-- who had the best free agents? Who had the best off-season NFL this year? New York.\r\n\r\nCS: Yea\r\n\r\nCC: Not Indianapolis, not Buffalo, not Jacksonville -- New. York. City. Free agents still prefer the sexy big rich markets.\r\n\r\nCS: Do you think all those free agent acquisitions are going to help Rex Ryan and that new-look New York Jets team?\r\n\r\nCC: It won’t hurt. I mean you know listen, it’s a talent league. Get the most good players you can under the cap, and they got good players.\r\n\r\nCS: And what do you think about Rex Ryan’s style? Do you think it’s good for the team? You know the whole brash, shit-talking, grandiose, larger-than-life thing?\r\n\r\nCC: I always think that works short term. It also makes you a huge target.\r\n\r\nCS: Right.\r\n\r\nCC: I like-- listen Jets fans need to realize you were not a great team for 13 weeks last year okay? (laughs)\r\n\r\nCS: (laughs)\r\n\r\nCC: You got red hot at the end of the year. The idea that this year you’re just gonna pick up where you left off and crush everybody, you were not a great team for 13 weeks. I saw the Atlanta game where you couldn’t move the football. It’s still Mark Sanchez, second year, coming off an injury. You know people have this team already in the Super Bowl? I’d just slow down a little bit.\r\n\r\nCS: Yea, that’s a good point. Who do you think is the best running back in the NFL?\r\n\r\nCC: I don’t know. I know Adrian Peterson can-- you know Chris Johnson’s just speed, but Adrian can run past you, run over you, run around you. It’s becoming a quarterback-receiver league though. There’s just not very many lead running backs. They don’t get taken in the first round very often and if they do they’re like C.J. Stiller or they could do like three or four things well. But you know just grabbing a big, strong running back, they only last like 3 ½ years. The league is so big, so strong, so violent, so fast, running-backs don’t last. Whereas T.O. can play for 12-13 years.\r\n\r\nCS: Where do you think that guy’s gonna go?\r\n\r\nCC: Oh there’ll be a desperate team. You know there’ll be a team that just needs a pop. You know, like Buffalo last year. We need you to sell tickets. [Note: Terrell Owens signed with the Cincinnati Bengals at the end of July]\r\n\r\nCS: Right.\r\n\r\nCC: Small market falls in love with him. I don’t think the elite teams need him. He’s 36 and he’s a wide receiver. He only had 55 catches last year. He’s not an elite receiver anymore and I just don’t think- you don’t get the bang for the buck. You spend the money, you get the headaches, you get the ego, but I get 50 catches. You know the one thing you do is you give me 90 and 11 touchdowns, but you’re not getting that, you’ll get half that.\r\n\r\nCS: Right, it’s just not worth the headaches for a team that has more to lose, yea.\r\n\r\nCC: Yea.\r\n\r\nCS: Do you think Michael Vick ever starts in the NFL again?\r\n\r\nCC: Most overrated guy – he’s the Paris Hilton of sports. I don’t get it. I mean Marty Mornhinweg was quoted today saying “love his athleticism and accuracy.” Yea, except for athleticism doesn’t matter in the NFL at quarterback. If it did Tom Brady and Manning wouldn’t be right there. Like Aaron Rodgers. And accuracy is highly overrated. It’s not about that. Mark Sanchez isn’t that accurate, and to be honest with you, Drew Brees is one of the few guys in the league that’s unbelievably accurate. It’s not about accurate; it’s about timing, it’s about arm strength, can you squeeze a ball in? Do you have moxy? Do you know when to audible and call the right protections? The idea that athleticism-- if athleticism mattered in the NFL at quarterback, then Michael Vick would be unbelievable.\r\n\r\nCS: Right.\r\n\r\nCC: You know, why does Brett Favre ultimately hurt himself in the playoffs? He’s unbelievable athletic, why does he hurt himself?\r\n\r\nCS: Bad decisions.\r\n\r\nCC: Cause he makes a terrible decision every year.\r\n\r\nCS: Yea.\r\n\r\nCC: Michael Vick and Brett Favre are the best athletic quarterbacks, but they hurt themselves in the games cause they makes dumb mistakes.\r\n\r\nCS: Yea, I always thought this was the funny thing about JaMarcus Russell. You would just see like he’s trying to hit a tight end on a crossing pattern and he’s throwing these flamethrower bullets and it’s like, you gotta have some touch too, you know? You’ve got that awesome, amazing arm, but sometimes you don’t need to use it like that, you know?\r\n\r\nCC: Yea. Drew Brees, Brady, Manning, McNabb, you know McNabb’s not accurate at all but he’s a good quarterback. He barely gets accurate, you could argue that McNabb is the least accurate great quarterback in the league but he’s smart. He’s got mocks, he knows how to lead a huddle, player like him.\r\n\r\nCS: You think Big Ben will ever overcome his image as a total dirtbag?\r\n\r\nCC: You know I think in life you create your own legacy and people think Joe Mauer’s a nice guy because Joe Mauer’s actions have led us to believe he’s a nice guy. And people don’t think Big Ben’s necessarily a nice guy because his actions have led us to believe he’s not a good guy. I mean I’ve never met anybody n my life who is a good guy and had a terrible reputation, and I’ve never met anybody in my life that had a terrible reputation but is this, he was a terrible guy but had a great reputation, it doesn’t work that way. You earn your legacy. Even for public figures who we see just glimpses of. Over time, if you’re a good guy, you get a better reputation. And you know Big Ben’s reputation as a person – and it’s not just the stuff that gets him in trouble with the law – he’s been seen as a diva in Pittsburgh. He doesn’t relate to the regular fans and he’s not beloved in Pittsburgh and there’s a reason for it.\r\n\r\nCS: Just real quick before I let you go, who do you think is gonna win the Super Bowl this year?\r\n\r\nCC: Baltimore is going to beat the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers or the Atlanta Falcons, I like Baltimore.\r\n\r\nCS: Baltimore. All right Colin I really appreciate it man, I’ll let you go and thanks for taking the time.\r\n\r\nCC: Hey Chris, thanks.\r\n\r\nCS: All right, take care man.','Interview with ESPN\'s Colin Cowherd','','inherit','open','open','','1420-revision-14','','','2010-08-12 13:50:38','2010-08-12 20:50:38','',1420,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1420-revision-14/',0,'revision','',0),(2254,2,'2010-08-02 14:34:39','2010-08-02 21:34:39','<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Rashard_Mendenhall_lead.jpg\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1226 alignnone\" title=\"Rashard_Mendenhall_lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Rashard_Mendenhall_lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"285\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis is a big year for Steelers running back <a href=\"http://www.nfl.com/players/rashardmendenhall/profile?id=MEN393702\" target=\"_blank\">Rashard Mendenhall</a>. The 23-year-old former first round pick is entering the season as the undisputed starter in Pittsburgh, and he’ll be called upon to run the rock early and often. After Fast Willie Parker lost a step (or two or three), he got the ax and now he’s off to join Mike Shanahan’s 2006 all-star fantasy backfield in Washington. Super Bowl XLIII hero Santonio Holmes knuckleheaded his way off the team, earned a four-game suspension for smoking bowls and got traded to the Jets for a measly fifth round pick. After his dirtbag antics in Georgia, Ben Roethlisberger earned a suspension that’ll keep him on the sidelines for at least the first quarter of the season (maybe more if the Commish doesn’t reduce his suspension from six games to four). That’s a big chunk of the offense that won’t be available to start the season. So yea Rashard, no pressure, man.\r\n\r\nThe Steelers were a pass-happy offense last season, but with so many weapons missing in the passing game, the ground attack will have to be heavily featured. Mendenhall needs to be up for the challenge. He has no choice, really.\r\n\r\nI had a chance to speak with Rashard while he was at the <a href=\"http://rise.espn.go.com/all-sports/ERG/Index.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN Rise Games</a>. A brand ambassador for <a href=\"http://www.championusa.com/champion/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Champion</a>, Mendenhall discussed the <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/champion?v=app_131517623551083\" target=\"_blank\">Champion Athlete’s Creed</a>, a set of principles designed to promote fair play and sportsmanship for young athletes, his new role has the top option in the offense, what it’s like preparing two quarterbacks for the season and Mendenhall’s assessment of his fantasy value this year.

I asked Glazer who he likes as early favorites to win the Super Bowl, what he thinks about the Pittsburgh Steelers chances this season and what his thoughts are on Mike Florio, the guy behind ProFootballTalk.com. <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/06/08/happy-birthday-florio/\" target=\"_blank\">Happy birthday, Mike</a>!\r\n\r\n(For those of you who don\'t know what\'s up, <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/\" target=\"_blank\">PFT</a> is the world\'s best source for up-to-the-minute info on NFL news, rumors and opinion.

His 88 percent completion rate in <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L7Sj8omZj4\" target=\"_blank\">Super Bowl XXI</a> is still a <a href=\"http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/records/superbowls/player/passing \" target=\"_blank\">Super Bowl record</a>. In 1993, his final year in the NFL, Simms completed 61.8 percent of his passes and threw for 3,038 yards and 15 touchdowns. At the end of the offseason, the Giants cut him and he retired for good.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2014\" title=\"Phil Simms Super Bowl XXI\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/11545-phil_simms_giants_superbowl_21_260_yds_3_td_s_record_88_completion_rate_record_10_consecutive_completions.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"202\" height=\"284\" />Simms went on to have a successful broadcasting career. He’s worked for ESPN, NBC and CBS. He announced Weightlifting at the 1996 Olympic Games and in 2008, Simms joined the cast of Inside the NFL, the weekly football highlight show that ended up on Showtime after a 31-year run on HBO.\r\n\r\nSimms also found time to produce two serious quarterback prospects. Phil’s son Chris Simms had a promising career with the Bucs before blowing up his spleen in a 2006 game against the Carolina Panthers. Matt Simms, Phil’s younger son, is currently the starting quarterback for the University of Tennessee.\r\n\r\nSimms calls games on CBS with Jim Nantz. He’s also heavily involved with the <a href=\"http://www.nfl.com/partner?partnerType=players-air-and-ground \" target=\"_blank\">FedEx Air &amp; Ground Player of the Week</a> program, a program that allows fans to vote on the top performers for each week and also supports Safe Kids USA.  I got to interview Simms and ask him about the FedEx program, the difficulties of retirement, ProFootballTalk.com, the Pittsburgh Steelers, Olympic broadcasting and why he’s not in the Hall of Fame. I found Simms to be a very open, honest and all-around likeable guy.

Courtney’s father, Jerry Hansen, won 27 SCAA national racing championships. You may not know much about the <a href=\"http://www.scca.com/home.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Sports Car Club of America</a>, but Club Racing has been around since the 60s, and no other SCAA racer has more titles than Courtney’s pops. The guy also owned the <a href=\"http://www.brainerdraceway.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Brainerd International Raceway</a>, so Courtney grew up in a very auto-enthused family.\r\n\r\nHansen hosts <a href=\"http://www.spike.com/show/32859\" target=\"_blank\">Spike TV’s Powerblock</a>, a chunk of weekend programming that currently includes the shows<em> MuscleCar, Horsepower TV, Xtreme 4x4 </em>and <em>Trucks! </em>Hansen was also the co-host of <em>Rides</em>, <em>Overhaulin’</em> and <em>Million Dollar Motors</em>. Courtney penned a column for FHM and she just came out with a new book, <em><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Garage-Girls-Guide-Everything-About/dp/1581825196\" target=\"_blank\">The Garage Girl\'s Guide To Everything You Need To Know About Your Car</a>. </em>Courtney’s also the new spokesperson for <a href=\"http://www.autotrader.com/\" target=\"_blank\">AutoTrader.com</a>.\r\n\r\nWe had a chance to talk to Courtney about her superior auto knowledge, American muscle cars, tips for buying a new car and what it’s like to work with Chip Foose.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1897\" title=\"courtney-hansen-fhm-1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/courtney-hansen-fhm-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"306\" />Do guys tend to trip out when they see a gorgeous girl like you who knows a thing or two about cars?</strong>\r\n\r\nFirst, thanks, that was sweet to say. As far as guys tripping out, I\'ve found that they may be surprised about my automotive passion or knowledge, but when they learn of my pedigree -- my dad is the top SCCA champion with 27 national titles, and we once owned BIR raceway in Minnesota -- and see that I don\'t carry a know-it-all attitude -- because I certainly still have so much more to learn -- they aren\'t chauvinistic or intimidated. Plus, more and more women are involved in the automotive industry and that\'s helping to set a new tone. Thankfully, I have always found that the men in my life and those who I\'ve met along the way consider my love of cars sexy!\r\n\r\n<strong>Have you always been into cars?</strong>\r\n\r\nI have always loved cars! I came home from the hospital in an old Rolls-Royce Corniche, and not because I come from a shi shi family, but because that was, at the time, my dad\'s favorite car. Cars have always been special in my family and are in my blood, and since my first moments in the world I\'ve appreciated everything about them. It also helped to be surrounded by every vehicle with an engine and racing since childhood.\r\n\r\n<strong>Are you excited about being the new spokesperson for AutoTrader? What’s in the works for you?</strong>\r\n\r\nI\'m thrilled to be the spokesperson for AutoTrader.com and to be doing some upcoming work with Auto Trader Classics. I\'ve always respected their brand and find their web site incredibly helpful when car shopping and buying. We purchased a car on AutoTrader.com that we sold for charity during a Spike TV Powerblock episode. And I have my eye on a favorite classic ride to buy through them now. I\'ll be doing work with them at SEMA in Vegas and the upcoming LA Auto Show.\r\n\r\n<strong>Why do you think women find it so stressful to shop for a car?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe car world has always been very dominated by men, so I think naturally we women can feel intimidated in this space. But I strongly believe that if we gather as much knowledge as possible about the ride we need and want for our lifestyle, compare various vehicles that are available to us, understand the vernacular so that we can talk confidently with the dealers, and aren\'t afraid to negotiate, the car shopping and buying process should be fun and a great success for us!\r\n\r\n<strong>What’s the number one mistake people make when they shop for a car?</strong>\r\n\r\nI think it all comes down to not being informed. If we gather all of the information that\'s available to us, online and for free, and go into the dealerships armed with a wealth of knowledge and prepared to get the car that is best for us, it will be a breeze and a blast!\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"size-full wp-image-1904 alignright\" title=\"courtney_hansen\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/courtney_hansen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"291\" />Can you offer some test drive tips for our readers?</strong>\r\n\r\nTake it out to the desert, put the pedal to the metal and properly test that baby out! Just kidding of course! I\'m much more responsible than that. As far as test driving, if it\'s a used car you\'re shopping for, spend as much time with the vehicle as the owner will allow, drive with the windows both up and down so you can listen for any annoying sounds or rattles that would indicate a problem, get a real feel for how it is behind the wheel, how comfortable the seat is, how the suspension feels, how it turns, how safe it feels etc. When shopping for new cars, spend a lot of time and trust your intuition about whether or not it feels right!\r\n\r\n<strong>What was it like to work with <a href=\"http://www.chipfoose.com/ws_display.asp?filter=Home\" target=\"_blank\">Chip Foose</a> on Overhaulin’?</strong>\r\n\r\nChip is a dear friend of mine and one of the most gracious and talented people I have ever met. And he is a blast to hang with! He always has a funny pun, for literally every phrase. We would always try to test him on the Overhaulin\' set and he never once was without a pun and hilarious retort. The other night I had dinner with Chip, his wife and friends, and I was laughing hysterically through dinner, particularly over an enormous piece of broccoli!\r\n\r\n<strong>What’s the most luxurious ride you’ve ever reviewed?</strong>\r\n\r\nI almost said the Rolls-Royce Phantom, I used to work as a spokesperson for R-R years ago, but I would have to say Chip Foose\'s hand built Ridler winner car, called <em>Impression</em>. It is beyond elegance and luxury. It\'s like nothing I\'ve ever seen. True craftsmanship, stunning art on wheels.\r\n\r\n<strong>What’s the most powerful ride you’ve ever reviewed?</strong>\r\n\r\nHmmm. I got some serious power out of both the Ford GT in Las Vegas and the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder at Miami\'s Homestead racetrack. I scared the crap out of Tom duPont from the duPont Registry who was sitting next to me in the Gallardo. Loved it!\r\n\r\n<strong>What new car are you looking forward to checking out next year?</strong><strong></strong>\r\n\r\nI’ve been so impressed by the rebirth of the American muscle cars. The new Jaguar XF sedan is a gorgeous ride with some serious power. But right now my eyes are focused on the classic rides I’ve always dreamed of. I know it’s girly, but I adore the ’57 Thunderbird, and I used to prefer white but now I’m all about the silver. I like the ’65 Fastback, the ’71 Cuda, of course the Shelbys, who doesn’t? And the ’54 and ’58 ‘Vettes.','Interview with Courtney Hansen, Host of Spike TV’s Powerblock','','inherit','open','open','','1896-revision-6','','','2010-09-20 13:58:20','2010-09-20 20:58:20','',1896,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/1896-revision-6/',0,'revision','',0),(2260,2,'2010-09-15 11:07:42','2010-09-15 18:07:42','In the third installment of the <a href=\"http://www.replaytheseries.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Gatorade REPLAY series</a>, Chicago high school powers Bloom Township and Brother Rice were afforded the opportunity of a lifetime. Ten years after most of their athletic careers ended, they were granted a chance to relive their glory days.\r\n\r\nFrom Brother Rice’s perspective, it was an opportunity to right a terrible wrong. In 2000, Bloom Township earned a controversial 42-40 playoff victory over Brother Rice thanks to standout Joe Chapman’s tip-in at the buzzer. The referee called the basket good but replays suggest that the bucket probably should not have counted. Take a look:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/hvpCnNh44xs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/hvpCnNh44xs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\nFast forward 10 years. With the help of Gatorade, the two teams got to settle things in front of a raucous sold-out crowd at St. Xavier University in Chicago. Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer served as the game commissioner and  thanked all 2,380 spectators for providing such a frenzied atmosphere.  The new Chicago Bulls forward sat down with MANjr for an interview, and  was a real cool guy to chat with (check out our <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/sports/carlos-boozer-interview-gatorade-replay-3/\" target=\"_blank\">Carlos Boozer interview</a>).\r\n\r\nTo prepare for the big rematch, both teams endured an eight-week training program courtesy of Gatorade and Velocity Sports Performance. During the training, honorary coaches Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade scrimmaged with their respective teams.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-1839 alignnone\" title=\"GatoradeREPLAY04\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/GatoradeREPLAY04.jpg\" alt=\"Gatorade Replay 3 - Carlos Boozer, Dwight Howard and Dwyane Wade\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" />\r\n\r\nBefore the game, we had a chance to speak with honorary Brother Rice coach Dwight Howard and he promised a victory (here\'s a link to the full <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/sports/dwight-howard-interview-gatorade-replay-3/\" target=\"_blank\">Dwight Howard interview</a>):\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Danny Dabiri: Are your boys gonna take it tonight?</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Dwight Howard: They gonna take it tonight.

The Brother Rice Crusaders jumped out to an early lead with some hot perimeter shooting. The Crusaders hit six three-pointers and led 30-17 after a quarter.\r\n\r\nThe second quarter was played at a frenetic pace. Both teams moved the ball up and down the court. Trailing 54-38, the Bloom Township Trojans closed out the half with six straight points. Brother Rice led at halftime 54-44.\r\n\r\nDwyane Wade must have pumped up the Trojans during the break because Bloom Township owned the third quarter. Antonio “Snugg” Cool scored 12 points to spearhead the comeback. Bloom outscored Brother Rice 30-15 to take a five-point lead into the fourth.\r\n\r\nTrailing 74-69 entering the fourth, the Crusaders dug deep and engineered an impressive comeback. Led by game MVP Sidney Holmes’ 22 points and 18 rebounds, Brother Rice outscored Bloom Township 30-19 in the final frame. Leading 95-93 with 20 seconds remaining, Crusaders point guard Vince Greene knocked down to two clutch free throws to seal the victory. The final score was 99-93. After ten years, Brother Rice had their sweet revenge.\r\n\r\nAfter the game, MVP Sidney Holmes summed up the experience pretty well:\r\n\r\n\"The best part of this night and the past weeks has been hanging with my old friends and being able to play basketball in front of friends and family. It\'s a blessing.\"\r\n\r\nThis was the most exciting basketball game I’d ever seen. From the crowd to the players to the emotion and energy on the court, it was really a wonderful experience.\r\n\r\nHere are some highlights from this amazing game:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14944364&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=14944364&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://vimeo.com/14944364\">REPLAY - Bloom Township v.

It’s really the source of the show’s greatness. Too often we’re all confronted with shit that’s just way too weird and way too uncomfortable. But so is life.\r\n\r\nAwkward moments always make for good comedy. Whether you’re dealing with your buddy’s quirky behavior, stupid people at work, unwanted comments about your facial hair, or random encounters with actors or homeless people, there are plenty of situations in life where things can turn strange pretty fast.\r\n\r\nOne thing that’s super-strange is the fact that HBO decided to cancel “The Life &amp; Times of Tim” this summer, and now the show’s looking for a new home. And it’s really a shame, cause the show’s pretty damn good.  I had a chance to ask <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v82w4dVaZEc\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Dildarian</a>, the creator of “The Life and Times of Tim,” some questions about the show:\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Who\'s the inspiration behind Tim? Is he a semi-autobiographical character?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: Tim vaugely resembles me in his hairstyle, build and wardrobe, but the similarities end there. I\'ve never squeezed an old lady\'s boobs at a wedding reception and I\'ve never (knock on wood) been raped by a bum.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Is it exhausting being the creator, writer, director, executive producer and lead voice of the show? How do you juggle all your different roles?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: The only exhausting part can be the recording sessions, because I\'m directing the talent and also performing as an actor in 90% of the scenes. It\'s a lot of fun though, so I usually don\'t realize how drained I am until the end of the day, when suddenly it dawns on me that I\'ve been talking non-stop since 9am.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: How much improvisation goes down in the voice over sessions? Do you ever mix up the script a bit with Nick Kroll?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: Improv is a big part of the show, but it\'s more to create a general tone than anything. If you compared one of our scripts with the finished episode, all the words would be different, but the jokes would land in pretty much the same places. The structure and rhythm don\'t change, just the specifics.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: What do you think it is about the quirky-awkwardness of the show that really resonates with people?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: I think what resonates is Tim\'s point of view - how sometimes in life it can feel like everyone is crazy except you. The show is much more reality-based than most animation, so I think that works in our favor too. People aren\'t expecting an animated show to feel quite so painfully real.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: The show is in syndication in a few different countries overseas. What\'s been the international reaction so far?\r\n\r\nSD: It translates very well, which I was surprised by. The show is playing everywhere from the UK to Italy, Greece, Ireland, etc. I guess the humor is relatable since it\'s just a guy who has lots of problems in life. We don\'t necessarily do \"American\" humor, or pop culture references, so that helps.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: Any updates on where the show will end up next? What can fans do to help the show find a new home?\r\n\r\n<strong>SD</strong>: We\'re in the middle of talks but hopefully we\'ll have good news soon. For now, fans can keep going to the <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/pages/SAVE-THE-LIFE-TIMES-OF-TIM/103257529723524?ref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">SAVE THE LIFE &amp; TIMES OF TIM Facebook page</a>, where we\'ve posted lots of deleted scenes and never-before-seen short films.\r\n\r\nIf you haven’t seen this idiosyncratic cartoon-look at life’s awkward encounters yet, you need to start tuning in.

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

Purple Drank investigation in Mobile, Alabama, it left a lot of people wondering – what the hell is Purple Drank? Although the origins of the drank are a bit hazy, liquid codeine-based beverages mixed with soda have been around for some time, and they’ve taken on many forms over the years.\r\n\r\n“<a href=\"http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=purple%20drank\" target=\"_blank\">Purple Drank</a>” aka “Purple Jelly” aka “Texas Drank” aka “Texas Tea” aka “Lean\" or \"Southern Lean” or simply “drank” or “sizzurp” is a cough syrup concoction that contains codeine and <a href=\"http://www.drugs.com/promethazine.html\" target=\"_blank\">promethazine</a>.  It’s usually made with Sprite, 7Up or some other fruity soda or fruity juice like Kool-Aid. It can also be mixed with grape drink…\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/UayQTu2kH-U&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/UayQTu2kH-U&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\nThe purpleness comes from color of the actual cough syrup. Sizzurp can be made with all kinds of stuff, from crushed codeine to chlorpheniramine to Tussionex (hydrocodone). In recent years, vodka has been added to the list of mixers.\r\n\r\nAccording to legend (<a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_drank\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia</a>), Purple Drank has been around for decades, but it was first made popular in Houston, Texas by <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKxUPNqgkzE\" target=\"_blank\">DJ Screw</a>, a hip hop producer who died in 2000 of a codeine overdose. That same year, <a href=\"http://www.three6-mafia.com/us/home\" target=\"_blank\">Three Six Mafia</a> released a single called “<a href=\"http://www.elyrics.net/read/t/three-6-mafia-lyrics/sippin_-on-some-syrup-lyrics.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sippin’ on Syrup</a>,” and they were pretty clear on what this whole sizzurp thing was all about:\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/K9f29EnOR-c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/K9f29EnOR-c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\nThe sizzurp is particularly popular in the hip hop community of the South. It’s not unusual to see people hitting the club with a bunch of Styrofoam cups. <a href=\"http://www.lilwayne-online.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Lil’ Wayne</a> is from New Orleans, and he likes himself a <a href=\"http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk224/tylerdurdenad/blog3-lil-wayne.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">lil’ drank</a> every now and then.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-870\" title=\"lil wayne drank\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/lil-wayne-drank.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" />\r\n\r\nNow JaMarcus Russell isn’t the first NFL athlete to get busted for sizzurp. Former Chargers safety <a href=\"http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/sullivan/20080706-9999-1s6sullivan.html\" target=\"_blank\">Terrence Kiel</a> (who was drafted out of Texas A&amp;M) was arrested after trying to ship some drank to a friend via FedEx. He was charged with transporting a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance. After the he pled guilty, the Chargers cut him. Kiel died in a car crash in 2008.\r\n\r\nIn 2008, defensive end <a href=\"http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/13485/video-otl-on-jolly-and-purple-drank\" target=\"_blank\">Johnny Jolly</a> of the Packers (also out of Texas A&amp;M) was pulled over in Houston for bumping his music too loud. The cops found Styrofoam cups next to his Dr. Pepper and they said they smelled drank. The cops found 200 grams of codeine and charged Jolly with a second degree felony. Charges against Jolly were initially dismissed, but they were quickly refiled once the 5-0 got new equipment to measure codeine amounts. Jolly faces up to 20 years in prison if he’s found guilty.\r\n\r\nBasically, if you want to get crunk on some sizzurp, drink Purple Drank responsibly. The sizzurp will get you faded, but not without some trouble. So don’t Fed Ex the shit to your friend. Don’t bump music with stanky Styrofoam cup dranks in your car. And remember, they call this shit lean for a reason. It’s all fun and games until respiratory or cardiac arrest sets in. You can crush up and add all the Jolly Ranchers you want, but if you take too much codeine, you’re gonna end up in a coma or <a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2007/12/04/rapper-pimp-c-found-dead-in-hollywood-hotel-room/\" target=\"_blank\">worse</a>.','What Is Purple Drank? - The Origins of the Sizzurp  ','','inherit','open','open','','869-revision-16','','','2010-07-26 08:03:42','2010-07-26 15:03:42','',869,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/869-revision-16/',0,'revision','',0),(2265,2,'2010-06-22 08:35:34','2010-06-22 15:35:34','Last month, <a href=\"http://www.fantasyspringsresort.com/prod/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">Fantasy Springs Resort and Casino</a> in conjunction with PlayerXT and Wet Peach Swimwear hosted the Ultimate Fantasy Weekend.

The Cuban/Carribean-themed tasting event took place at <a href=\"http://www.ladescargala.com/ld.html\" target=\"_blank\">La  Descarga</a>, a nifty bar that gives you a taste of old Havana in Hollywood.\r\n\r\nThe entrance to the venue set the tone for the night. After climbing  up some stairs you walk into a plain-looking office room and are greeted  by a host. The host then opens up a cabinet door and instructs you to  enter. After you push aside some Hawaiian shirts you see a metallic  spiral staircase in front of you that descends into a chill bar/lounge  with an intimate speakeasy vibe.\r\n\r\nA special Caribbean-inspired cocktail menu was prepared that featured five different scotch concoctions:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Stirred Up Scotsman</li>\r\n	<li> Wembley Sour</li>\r\n	<li> Caribbean Swizzle</li>\r\n	<li> Blood and Sand</li>\r\n	<li> Caribbean Handcraft Punch</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAfter sampling the light and breezy Stirred Up Scotsman, I shifted my  attention to the Blood and Sand. I sipped quite a few drinks that night  (including the frothy, egg-white powered Wembley Sour), but this  cocktail was by far my favorite.\r\n\r\nA quick journey to the back of the bar revealed a walkway to a much  appreciated, semi-outdoor cigar lounge where the awesome Aussie  bartender was serving up single-malt tasters of multiple Balvenie  bottles. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask was a smooth vehicle, but I enjoyed  the entire <a href=\"http://www.thebalvenie.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Balvenie</a> fleet.\r\n\r\nAfter knocking back a few drinks, it was time to grab a snack. The  event was catered by a fantastic Cuban food truck. Café Con Leche had  great coffee, delicious sandwiches and they even incorporated the  Caribbean Cask action into some custom sauces that totally completed the  sandwich.\r\n\r\nThe quality scotch and savory Cuban food were both big hits, but the  highlight of the night was the 5-minute presentation by Nicholas  Pollacchi, the Balvenie Ambassador. I’ve been to scotch tastings before  where the ambassador of the spirit lays it down real thick. Like you  really have a palette sophisticated enough to identify 35 different  complimentary combinations of aromatic mixological madness. Pollacchi\'s  approach was much better. A quick, light-hearted presentation on the  spirit followed by a tasting that let the scotch speak for itself. As  Nicholas put it, he\'s not a big fan of highlighting the taste of  \"children playing in daffodils\" or quality ingredients \"picked by  left-handed people.\" He lets the spirit do the talking. It was an  efficient and entertaining showcase that allowed the taste of the Caribbean Cask to take center stage.','Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask - LA Launch Celebration','','publish','open','open','','balvenie-14-year-old-caribbean-cask-la-launch-celebration','','','2010-10-15 12:07:33','2010-10-15 19:07:33','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2282',0,'post','',0),(2284,1,'2010-10-13 02:40:54','2010-10-13 09:40:54','','balvenie 14 year caribbean cask bottle','','inherit','open','open','','balvenie-14-year-caribbean-cask-bottle','','','2010-10-13 02:40:54','2010-10-13 09:40:54','',2282,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/balvenie-14-year-caribbean-cask-bottle.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2293,2,'2010-10-13 11:39:00','2010-10-13 18:39:00','','balvenie caribbean cask','','inherit','open','open','','balvenie-caribbean-cask','','','2010-10-13 11:39:00','2010-10-13 18:39:00','',2282,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/balvenie-caribbean-cask.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2285,1,'2010-10-13 02:41:36','2010-10-13 09:41:36','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2284\" title=\"balvenie 14 year caribbean cask bottle\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/balvenie-14-year-caribbean-cask-bottle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"290\" />\n\nLast week, the MANjr team attended the LA launch of Balvenie\'s 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask, an extra smooth single malt scotch that starts it\'s life in a whisky barrel and finishes up in a golden Caribbean rum cask.\n\nThe Cuban/Carribean-themed tasting event took place at La Descarga, a nifty bar that igve you a taste of old Havana in Hollywood.

Kudos to you if you knew that the Steelers would lose in the last 36 seconds, the Broncos would come back to win, the Packers and Saints wouldn’t come close to covering and the lowly Jags would topple the mighty Colts. Last week pushed me under .500 for the season. 27-31-3 to be exact. Let’s try to right the ship in Week 5.\r\n\r\n<strong>At Baltimore -7 Denver\r\n</strong>The Ravens aren’t as dominant in stopping the run as they once were. That’s great ‘cause the Broncos don’t have a running game anyway. You might have heard that Kyle Orton is the best fantasy player of all time, but even if he throws the ball 50 times, it’ll be hard to light up the scoreboard against a Ravens team playing at home and coming off an emotional win in Pittsburgh.\r\nPICK: Baltimore -7\r\n\r\n<strong>At Buffalo -1 Jacksonville\r\n</strong>The Bills got absolutely embarrassed last week and the Jags got their biggest win in a long time. Look for a correction of sorts as the Bills move closer to respectability and the Jags come back down to Earth a bit. Still, if the Jags can keep the ground game rolling and get TE Marcedes Lewis involved against a Buffalo team that has trouble against the run and TEs, then the Jags should win on the road.\r\nPICK: Jags +1\r\n\r\n<strong>At Indianapolis -7 Kansas City\r\n</strong>I don’t know what’s more surprising, the fact that the Colts have two losses or the Chiefs have none. The Colts aren’t going to lose this game. If the Chiefs somehow remain unbeaten after facing a pissed off Peyton Manning, they’ll shock the world. A win for Indy seems much more likely.\r\nPICK: Colts -7\r\n\r\n<strong>At Detroit -3 St. Louis\r\n</strong>Shaun Hill’s had a couple good weeks, and the Lions are the best winless team ever, but Jahvid Best isn’t right yet and Sam Bradford is bringing boyish swagger to a much-improved Rams team. If Best was healthy, I’d say Detroit all the way, but he’s just not 100 percent. Stephan Jackson proved he can be a beast even when he isn’t healthy, and the Rams defense is playing inspired.\r\nPICK: Rams +3\r\n\r\n<strong>Atlanta -3 At Cleveland\r\n</strong>The Falcons barely squeaked by the Niners last week thanks to Roddy White’s amazing forced fumble. Cleveland pulled off the upset against Cincy and showed that they can actually win games with good defense and large servings of Peyton Hillis. You got to love how Hillis has changed the identity of this team, but the Falcons are going to stay take this one. They just have too many weapons.\r\nPICK: Falcons -3\r\n\r\n<strong>At Cincinnati -6.5 Tampa Bay\r\n</strong>I like the Bucs. The Steelers clobbered ‘em, but other than that they’ve been pretty solid this year. The Bengals just look off.\r\nPICK: Bucs +6.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Carolina -1.5 Chicago\r\n</strong>For the second straight week, the Chicago Bears game promises to be the most unwatchable game on the schedule. Julius Peppers returns to face the team he hates, but this much more to hate in this Todd Collins vs. Jimmy Clausen battle. Chicago’s ground game is nowhere and Todd Collins can’t get it done. Will Chicago’s defense and special teams step up and create some much needed points? Do yourself a favor, bet the under and don’t watch a minute of this horrible game.\r\nPICK: Under!\r\n\r\n<strong>Green Bay -2.5 At Washington\r\n</strong>Green Bay is better than Washington. There are no revenge plot lines this time around for McNabb. Just a better opposing team. Packers win easy.\r\nPICK: Packers -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Houston -3 NY Giants\r\n</strong>Wow, who knew the Giants were so damn good at rushing the passer? You know what helps combat that? A sick-ass rushing game behind surprise-beast Arian Foster. The G-men will get their chances, but Houston will prevail in a shoot out.\r\nPICK: Texans -3\r\n\r\n<strong>New Orleans -6.5 At Arizona\r\n</strong>Max Hall, baby! He’s the new Kurt Warner, I tell ya. Well, that’s what Peter King and Kurt Warner think. Personally, I’d like to see the guy take a snap in the NFL before crowning him the next feel-good sensation. The Saints are without Pierre Thomas, but so what? They ran the ball effectively last week with Ivory and Betts. Drew Brees hasn’t looked like his cyborg self lately, but the Saints are lightyears beyond the Cardinals.\r\nPICK: Saints -6.5\r\n\r\n<strong>San Diego -6 At Oakland\r\n</strong>The Polish Rifle keeps bringing the Raiders within winning distance, but the Chargers are rolling. I’ll take Antonio Gates and that defense over Bruce’s heroics.\r\nPICK: Chargers -6\r\n\r\n<strong>At Dallas -7 Tennessee\r\n</strong>I just don’t trust the Cowboys. I don’t really trust the Titans either, but in this coin-flip matchup, I’ll bet on Cortland Finnegan to pick up another fine and the Titans  to edge out the Boys in Dallas.\r\nPICK: Titans +7\r\n\r\n<strong>At San Francisco -3 Philadelphia\r\n</strong>This one’s tough. Does Kolb play like the preseason fantasy stud we all thought he’d be? Do the Niners rebound from a gut-wrenching loss and defend the honor of their beleaguered coach at home? I think the edge has to go to the home team here. If Alex Smith can minimize his mistakes and if the defense plays like it has been playing, the Niners should earn a win.\r\nPICK: 49ers -3\r\n\r\n<strong>At NY Jets -4 Minnesota\r\n</strong>So many storylines here. Revis vs. Moss. Favre vs. his own Johnson. Adrian Peterson getting more room to run. The possibility that Percy Harvin can light it up with all the attention going to Randy. But if you forget about all that’s new and improved with the Vikings, you realize that the Jets are in top form right now. LT’s found his groove, Sanchez is playing remarkably well and if anyone can contain all of Minny’s weapons, it’s the Jets D. Gotta go New York here.\r\nPICK: Jets -4','Week 5 NFL Picks','','publish','open','open','','week-5-nfl-picks','','','2010-10-13 11:51:04','2010-10-13 18:51:04','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2288',0,'post','',0),(2286,1,'2010-10-13 02:41:52','2010-10-13 09:41:52','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2284\" title=\"balvenie 14 year caribbean cask bottle\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/balvenie-14-year-caribbean-cask-bottle.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"290\" />\r\n\r\nLast week, the MANjr team attended the LA launch of Balvenie\'s 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask, an extra smooth single malt scotch that starts it\'s life in a whisky barrel and finishes up in a golden Caribbean rum cask.\r\n\r\nThe Cuban/Carribean-themed tasting event took place at La Descarga, a nifty bar that igve you a taste of old Havana in Hollywood.

The entrance to the venue set the tone for the night. After climbing up some stairs you walk into a plain looking office room and are greeted by a host. The host then opens up a cabinet door and instructs you to enter. After you push aside some Hawaiian shirts you see a metallic spiral staircase in front of you that descends into a chill bar/lounge with an intimate speakeasy vibe.\r\n\r\nA special cocktail menu was prepared that featured six different scotch concoctions. After sampling the light and breezy Scotsman, I shifted my attention to the Blood and Sand. I sipped quite a few drinks that night, but this cocktail was by far my favorite.\r\n\r\nA quick journey to the back of the bar revealed a walkway to a much appreciated, semi-outdoor cigar lounge where the awesome Aussie bartender was serving up single-malt tasters of Balvenie 14, 15 and 17 year blends. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask was a smooth vehicle, but I enjoyed the entire Balvenie fleet.\r\n\r\nAfter knocking back a few drinks, it was time to grab a snack. The event was catered by a fantastic food truck. XXX  had great coffee, delicious sandwiches and they even incorporated the Caribbean Cask action into some custom sauces that totally completed the sandwich.\r\n\r\nThe quality scotch and savory Cuban food were both big hits, but the highlight of the night was the 5-minute presentation by Nicholas Pollacchi, the Balvenie Ambassador. I’ve been to scotch tastings before where the ambassador of the spirit lays it down real thick.

Kudos to you if you knew that the Steelers would lose in the last 36 seconds, the Broncos would come back to win, the Packers and Saints wouldn’t come close to covering and the lowly Jags would topple the mighty Colts. Last week pushed me under .500 for the season. 27-31-3 to be exact. Let’s try to right the ship in Week 5.\n\n<strong>At Baltimore -7 Denver\n</strong>The Ravens aren’t as dominant in stopping the run as they once were. That’s great ‘cause the Broncos don’t have a running game anyway. You might have heard that Kyle Orton is the best fantasy player of all time, but even if he throws the ball 50 times, it’ll be hard to light up the scoreboard against a Ravens team playing at home and coming off an emotional win in Pittsburgh.\nPICK: Baltimore -7\n\n<strong>At Buffalo -1 Jacksonville\n</strong>The Bills got absolutely embarrassed last week and the Jags got their biggest win in a long time. Look for a correction of sorts as the Bills move closer to respectability and the Jags come back down to Earth a bit. Still, if the Jags can keep the ground game rolling and get TE Marcedes Lewis involved against a Buffalo team that has trouble against the run and TEs, then the Jags should win on the road.\nPICK: Jags +1\n\n<strong>At Indianapolis -7 Kansas City\n</strong>I don’t know what’s more surprising, the fact that the Colts have two losses or the Chiefs have none. The Colts aren’t going to lose this game. If the Chiefs somehow remain unbeaten after facing a pissed off Peyton Manning, they’ll shock the world. A win for Indy seems much more likely.\nPICK: Colts -7\n\nAt Detroit -3 St. Louis\nShaun Hill’s had a couple good weeks, and the Lions are the best winless team ever, but Jahvid Best isn’t right yet and Sam Bradford is bringing boyish swagger to a much-improved Rams team. If Best was healthy, I’d say Detroit all the way, but he’s just not 100 percent. Stephan Jackson proved he can be a beast even when he isn’t healthy, and the Rams defense is playing inspired.\nPICK: Rams +3\n\nAtlanta -3 At Cleveland\nThe Falcons barely squeaked by the Niners last week thanks to Roddy White’s amazing forced fumble. Cleveland pulled off the upset against Cincy and showed that they can actually win games with good defense and large servings of Peyton Hillis. You got to love how Hillis has changed the identity of this team, but the Falcons are going to stay take this one. They just have too many weapons.\nPICK: Falcons -3\n\nAt Cincinnati -6.5 Tampa Bay\nI like the Bucs. The Steelers clobbered ‘em, but other than that they’ve been pretty solid this year. The Bengals just look off.\nPICK: Bucs +6.5\n\nAt Carolina -1.5 Chicago\nFor the second straight week, the Chicago Bears game promises to be the most unwatchable game on the schedule. Julius Peppers returns to face the team he hates, but this much more to hate in this Todd Collins vs. Jimmy Clausen battle. Chicago’s ground game is nowhere and Todd Collins can’t get it done. Will Chicago’s defense and special teams step up and create some much needed points? Do yourself a favor, bet the under and don’t watch a minute of this horrible game.\nPICK: Under!\n\nGreen Bay -2.5 At Washington\nGreen Bay is better than Washington. There are no revenge plot lines this time around for McNabb. Just a better opposing team. Packers win easy.\nPICK: Packers -2.5\n\nAt Houston -3 NY Giants\nWow, who knew the Giants were so damn good at rushing the passer? You know what helps combat that? A sick-ass rushing game behind surprise-beast Arian Foster. The G-men will get their chances, but Houston will prevail in a shoot out.\nPICK: Texans -3\n\nNew Orleans -6.5 At Arizona\nMax Hall, baby! He’s the new Kurt Warner, I tell ya. Well, that’s what Peter King and Kurt Warner think. Personally, I’d like to see the guy take a snap in the NFL before crowning him the next feel-good sensation. The Saints are without Pierre Thomas, but so what? They ran the ball effectively last week with Ivory and Betts. Drew Brees hasn’t looked like his cyborg self lately, but the Saints are lightyears beyond the Cardinals.\nPICK: Saints -6.5\n\nSan Diego -6 At Oakland\nThe Polish Rifle keeps bringing the Raiders within winning distance, but the Chargers are rolling. I’ll take Antonio Gates and that defense over Bruce’s heroics.\nPICK: Chargers -6\n\nAt Dallas -7 Tennessee\nI just don’t trust the Cowboys. I don’t really trust the Titans either, but in this coin-flip matchup, I’ll bet on Cortland Finnegan to pick up another fine and the Titans  to edge out the Boys in Dallas.\nPICK: Titans +7\n\nAt San Francisco -3 Philadelphia\nThis one’s tough. Does Kolb play like the preseason fantasy stud we all thought he’d be? Do the Niners rebound from a gut-wrenching loss and defend the honor of their beleaguered coach at home? I think the edge has to go to the home team here. If Alex Smith can minimize his mistakes and if the defense plays like it has been playing, the Niners should earn a win.\nPICK: 49ers -3\n\nAt NY Jets -4 Minnesota\nSo many storylines here. Revis vs. Moss. Favre vs. his own Johnson. Adrian Peterson getting more room to run. The possibility that Percy Harvin can light it up with all the attention going to Randy. But if you forget about all that’s new and improved with the Vikings, you realize that the Jets are in top form right now.

After you push aside some Hawaiian shirts you see a metallic  spiral staircase in front of you that descends into a chill bar/lounge  with an intimate speakeasy vibe.\n\nA special Caribbean-inspired cocktail menu was prepared that featured five different scotch concoctions:\n<ul>\n	<li>Stirred Up Scotsman</li>\n	<li> Wembley Sour</li>\n	<li> Caribbean Swizzle</li>\n	<li> Blood and Sand</li>\n	<li> Caribbean Handcraft Punch</li>\n</ul>\nAfter sampling the light and breezy Stirred Up Scotsman, I shifted my  attention to the Blood and Sand. I sipped quite a few drinks that night  (including the frothy, egg-white powered Wembley Sour), but this  cocktail was by far my favorite.\n\nA quick journey to the back of the bar revealed a walkway to a much  appreciated, semi-outdoor cigar lounge where the awesome Aussie  bartender was serving up single-malt tasters of multiple Balvenie  bottles. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask was a smooth vehicle, but I enjoyed  the entire <a href=\"http://www.thebalvenie.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Balvenie</a> fleet.\n\nAfter knocking back a few drinks, it was time to grab a snack. The  event was catered by a fantastic Cuban food truck. Café Con Leche had  great coffee, delicious sandwiches and they even incorporated the  Caribbean Cask action into some custom sauces that totally completed the  sandwich.\n\nThe quality scotch and savory Cuban food were both big hits, but the  highlight of the night was the 5-minute presentation by Nicholas  Pollacchi, the Balvenie Ambassador. I’ve been to scotch tastings before  where the ambassador of the spirit lays it down real thick. Like you  really have a palette sophisticated enough to identify 35 different  complimentary combinations of aromatic mixological madness. Pollacchi\'s  approach was much better. A quick, light-hearted presentation on the  spirit followed by a tasting that let the scotch speak for itself. As  Nicholas put it, he\'s not a big fan of highlighting the taste of  \"children playing in daffodils\" or quality ingredients \"picked by  left-handed people.\" He lets the spirit do the talking. It was an  efficient and entertaining showcase that allowed the taste of the Caribbean Cask to take center stage.','Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask - LA Launch Celebration','','inherit','open','open','','2282-autosave','','','2010-10-15 12:08:36','2010-10-15 19:08:36','',2282,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2282-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(2297,2,'2010-10-13 11:50:30','2010-10-13 18:50:30','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2289\" title=\"LaDainian+Tomlinson+Jets\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/LaDainian+Tomlinson+Jets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"413\" />\r\n\r\nLet’s not talk about last week’s unfortunate set of 4-10 picks. Kudos to you if you knew that the Steelers would lose in the last 36 seconds, the Broncos would come back to win, the Packers and Saints wouldn’t come close to covering and the lowly Jags would topple the mighty Colts. Last week pushed me under .500 for the season. 27-31-3 to be exact. Let’s try to right the ship in Week 5.\r\n\r\n<strong>At Baltimore -7 Denver\r\n</strong>The Ravens aren’t as dominant in stopping the run as they once were. That’s great ‘cause the Broncos don’t have a running game anyway. You might have heard that Kyle Orton is the best fantasy player of all time, but even if he throws the ball 50 times, it’ll be hard to light up the scoreboard against a Ravens team playing at home and coming off an emotional win in Pittsburgh.\r\nPICK: Baltimore -7\r\n\r\n<strong>At Buffalo -1 Jacksonville\r\n</strong>The Bills got absolutely embarrassed last week and the Jags got their biggest win in a long time. Look for a correction of sorts as the Bills move closer to respectability and the Jags come back down to Earth a bit. Still, if the Jags can keep the ground game rolling and get TE Marcedes Lewis involved against a Buffalo team that has trouble against the run and TEs, then the Jags should win on the road.\r\nPICK: Jags +1\r\n\r\n<strong>At Indianapolis -7 Kansas City\r\n</strong>I don’t know what’s more surprising, the fact that the Colts have two losses or the Chiefs have none. The Colts aren’t going to lose this game. If the Chiefs somehow remain unbeaten after facing a pissed off Peyton Manning, they’ll shock the world. A win for Indy seems much more likely.\r\nPICK: Colts -7\r\n\r\n<strong>At Detroit -3 St. Louis\r\n</strong>Shaun Hill’s had a couple good weeks, and the Lions are the best winless team ever, but Jahvid Best isn’t right yet and Sam Bradford is bringing boyish swagger to a much-improved Rams team. If Best was healthy, I’d say Detroit all the way, but he’s just not 100 percent. Stephan Jackson proved he can be a beast even when he isn’t healthy, and the Rams defense is playing inspired.\r\nPICK: Rams +3\r\n\r\n<strong>Atlanta -3 At Cleveland\r\n</strong>The Falcons barely squeaked by the Niners last week thanks to Roddy White’s amazing forced fumble. Cleveland pulled off the upset against Cincy and showed that they can actually win games with good defense and large servings of Peyton Hillis. You got to love how Hillis has changed the identity of this team, but the Falcons are going to stay take this one. They just have too many weapons.\r\nPICK: Falcons -3\r\n\r\n<strong>At Cincinnati -6.5 Tampa Bay\r\n</strong>I like the Bucs. The Steelers clobbered ‘em, but other than that they’ve been pretty solid this year. The Bengals just look off.\r\nPICK: Bucs +6.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Carolina -1.5 Chicago\r\n</strong>For the second straight week, the Chicago Bears game promises to be the most unwatchable game on the schedule. Julius Peppers returns to face the team he hates, but this much more to hate in this Todd Collins vs. Jimmy Clausen battle. Chicago’s ground game is nowhere and Todd Collins can’t get it done. Will Chicago’s defense and special teams step up and create some much needed points? Do yourself a favor, bet the under and don’t watch a minute of this horrible game.\r\nPICK: Under!\r\n\r\n<strong>Green Bay -2.5 At Washington\r\n</strong>Green Bay is better than Washington. There are no revenge plot lines this time around for McNabb. Just a better opposing team. Packers win easy.\r\nPICK: Packers -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>At Houston -3 NY Giants\r\n</strong>Wow, who knew the Giants were so damn good at rushing the passer? You know what helps combat that? A sick-ass rushing game behind surprise-beast Arian Foster. The G-men will get their chances, but Houston will prevail in a shoot out.\r\nPICK: Texans -3\r\n\r\n<strong>New Orleans -6.5 At Arizona\r\n</strong>Max Hall, baby! He’s the new Kurt Warner, I tell ya. Well, that’s what Peter King and Kurt Warner think. Personally, I’d like to see the guy take a snap in the NFL before crowning him the next feel-good sensation. The Saints are without Pierre Thomas, but so what? They ran the ball effectively last week with Ivory and Betts. Drew Brees hasn’t looked like his cyborg self lately, but the Saints are lightyears beyond the Cardinals.\r\nPICK: Saints -6.5\r\n\r\n<strong>San Diego -6 At Oakland\r\n</strong>The Polish Rifle keeps bringing the Raiders within winning distance, but the Chargers are rolling. I’ll take Antonio Gates and that defense over Bruce’s heroics.\r\nPICK: Chargers -6\r\n\r\n<strong>At Dallas -7 Tennessee\r\n</strong>I just don’t trust the Cowboys. I don’t really trust the Titans either, but in this coin-flip matchup, I’ll bet on Cortland Finnegan to pick up another fine and the Titans  to edge out the Boys in Dallas.\r\nPICK: Titans +7\r\n\r\n<strong>At San Francisco -3 Philadelphia\r\n</strong>This one’s tough. Does Kolb play like the preseason fantasy stud we all thought he’d be? Do the Niners rebound from a gut-wrenching loss and defend the honor of their beleaguered coach at home? I think the edge has to go to the home team here. If Alex Smith can minimize his mistakes and if the defense plays like it has been playing, the Niners should earn a win.\r\nPICK: 49ers -3\r\n\r\n<strong>At NY Jets -4 Minnesota\r\n</strong>So many storylines here. Revis vs. Moss. Favre vs. his own Johnson. Adrian Peterson getting more room to run. The possibility that Percy Harvin can light it up with all the attention going to Randy. But if you forget about all that’s new and improved with the Vikings, you realize that the Jets are in top form right now. LT’s found his groove, Sanchez is playing remarkably well and if anyone can contain all of Minny’s weapons, it’s the Jets D.

When your boy, or group of boys wearing your favorite team colors are deemed ineligible, and are subsequently suspended from particular bodies of competition due to...duh, duh, duh...SCANDAL.\r\n\r\nIt\'s hot again. Reggie Bush gave back his Heisman trophy, and now some fella named Kenny Rogers has opened a can of night crawlers and dumped them on Auburn quarterback and Heisman Award hopeful, Cameron \"Cam\" Newton.\r\n\r\nI had to roll with the parenthetical based solely on the fact that the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowl_Championship_Series\" target=\"_blank\">BCS</a> is to me, a scandalous organization, as is the NCAA. Case in point--the F.B.I. is involved in this latest Cam Newton saga? The F.B.I. Really? MmmMmm. Let\'s dive right in!\r\n<h2>10. Cam Newton - Auburn University</h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2747\" title=\"CamNewton\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CamNewton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"295\" />It has potential to be huge, but it\'s still too fresh. He could be clean; his pops could be dirty. Either way, it\'s looking like Cam Newton might find himself suspended down the line for his dad soliciting funds from Mississippi State University--a team Newton was considering coming out of Jr. College. You are more than likely aware that Newton was once a student athlete at Florida, playing behind Tim Tebow. Yes. In all of this, his <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2010/11/report-cam-newton-left-florida-after-three-charges-of-academic-cheating/1?csp=hf\" target=\"_blank\">less than squeaky clean record</a> has also shown its teeth. Whether any money was exchanged at Auburn...? We won\'t find out for quite some time.\r\n<h2><span style=\"line-height: 19px; font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">9. Rich Rodriguez - University of Michigan</span></span></h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2748\" title=\"RichRod\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/RichRod.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" />It\'s easier to miss the scandalous when a team sucks, or is in a period of rebuilding. Rich-Rod bailed on West Virginia, and came to Michigan to get the show turned around in the Big House. Apparently, he was willing to require overtime...of everyone. Working them beyond what is legal according to the NCAA. The university slapped itself on the wrist.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">8. 2004 Auburn Tigers - Shafted!</span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2750\" title=\"ronnie-brown\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ronnie-brown.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"308\" />You probably don\'t remember this one, do ya? The Auburn Tigers went undefeated in SEC play and in their regular season, won the SEC Championship Game vs. Tennessee, and was shafted into a Sugar Bowl match-up vs. a potent Virginia Tech squad. Yep. Oklahoma and USC battled it out for the \"National Championship.\" Heck yes, I\'m a biased SEC fan, but this was criminal. Especially considering that USC thrashed OU in the title game, and that the win has been vacated due to USC\'s own scandal. Stupid Coaches Poll. Stupid AP Poll. Stupid NCAA. Scandalous.\r\n<h2>7. Scooter McDougle - University of Toledo</h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2751\" title=\"ScooterMcD\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ScooterMcD.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"309\" />This one can just be filed into the category of strange. Toledo running back, Scooter McDougle was somehow at the center of a point-shaving scheme that involved several other University of Toledo players--players would not play in games due to mysterious injuries, or would play poorly to ensure spreads. The final note has yet to be played in this fiasco.\r\n<h2>6. Bogus Music Class - Florida State University</h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2752\" title=\"BobbyB\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/BobbyB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"271\" />When people said Bobby Bowden was \"out of touch,\" perhaps this is what they were eluding to. This happened in 2007, and included 25 student-athletes who admitted to having \"assistance\" on tests and quizzes for a music class. When I say assistance, I mean somebody took the tests for them. I can\'t imagine that anyone got suspicious with so many players taking the same class and scoring similarly? This cost the squad the last really good season that Bobby, and the university, have enjoyed.\r\n<h2>5. Lawrence Phillips - University of Nebraska</h2>\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/ESgPZtcxfkk?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/ESgPZtcxfkk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\nThis dude. Geez. A guy who had it. That thing. Jaw-dropping skills. Unfortunately, he also had some jaw popping skills. After running for 206 yards on 22 carries for 4 touchdowns vs. Michigan State, Phillips returned to Lincoln, NE, with the team and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Phillips\" target=\"_blank\">was arrested</a> for assaulting his girlfriend. After being suspended, Phillips played out the season, winning a national championship, then declared for the NFL draft. He had a few NFL highlights, but more problems. In 2009 he was sentenced to 31 years in prison for multiple violent outbreaks, including an incident in which he hit three teenagers with his car after a disagreement in a pick-up football game.\r\n<h2>4. Marcus Dupree - University of Oklahoma</h2>\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/qg2bHHY3d84?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/qg2bHHY3d84?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\nFeatured recently on ESPN\'s 30 for 30, Marcus Dupree was considered by many, \"The best who never was.\" Before signing with Oklahoma, it was necessary to score some goods for the family. Dupree\'s mom wanted a new double-wide mobile home. She got one. In an attempt to secure Dupree for a documentary in the early 80s, a recruiter let the funding team know it would take at least $150,000. Dupree went on to be a Freshman star at Oklahoma. Injuries hampered his sophomore season, and after a handful of games, Dupree announced that he would be leaving the university.\r\n<h2>3. Reggie Bush - University of Southern California</h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2753\" title=\"Reggie\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Reggie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"288\" />Everyone is familiar with Reggie, and the USC scandal. The scandal that has the Trojans watching the big games from the sidelines every holiday season for the next several years. It all had to do with Reggie, and/or Reggie\'s parents, accepting illegal benefits. We have to presume that somewhere in the mix would there would be some cash involved. Though the university has been punished, and they no longer \"have anything to do with Bush,\" the scandal peaked when Bush returned his Heisman Trophy.\r\n<h2>2. Katie Hnida - University of Colorado</h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2754\" title=\"KatieH\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/KatieH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" />Katie Hnida? College football scandal? Oh, how soon we forget, and how soon the University of Colorado wants us to forget. Female. Football player. Kicker. Multiple teammates took advantage of Katie, and ultimately tore their entire program apart. Hnida stated that she was harassed, assaulted and eventually raped by her male counterparts.\r\n<h2>1. 1986 SMU Mustangs - The NCAA Death Penalty</h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2755\" title=\"dickersonandjames\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/dickersonandjames.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" />Sweet mercy. This one still takes the cake. Everyone was seemingly involved in this mess. The Governor of Texas, local and state politicians, coaches and of course, players. At the center of the controversy was the continuation of a \"slush fund\" for players who required some cash, from the mid-70s to the mid-80s. After the university and so many university supporters were found to be dealing in corruption, an NCAA committee voted to cancel the entire 1987 football season, and only allowed SMU to participate in away games in the 1988 season. This nearly destroyed the SMU program. It also led to the death of the Southwest Conference.','Top 10 College Football Scandals ','','inherit','open','open','','2733-revision-11','','','2010-11-12 17:36:29','2010-11-13 01:36:29','',2733,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2733-revision-11/',0,'revision','',0),(2305,2,'2010-10-15 12:40:07','2010-10-15 19:40:07','Whenever you\'re in Vegas, you come across some interesting people.

In this  environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too  old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not  even lookin’ for action.

If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it.

If you see him setting the dice as he picks ‘em up, camp out at that table and just enjoy your winnings. When he leaves, you need to leave too.\n\n<strong>Aggressive Mechanical Wheelchair Guy</strong>\nDude, I’m trying to get out of your way but you need to slow down on those turns, buddy. I know you got a disability and all, but that doesn’t give you the right to mow people down with your high-speed bulldozer-chair.\n\n<strong>The Chick with the Bad Boob Job</strong>\nWait a minute, there’s something wrong with those basketballs bolted on your chest. They might look good from afar, but when you get too close, the cross-eyed nipples start staring at you in opposite directions. Big boobs look great and all, but those south-by-northeast nips just ain’t right.\n\n<strong>The Explosive Shitter in the Bathroom</strong>\nI don’t know if it’s the beer-shits or the buffet-shits or some killer combo of the two, but you can’t visit a casino bathroom without hearing some sort of crazy asstastrophe going on.

You’ll know their coming when you hear the click-clack-shuffle of hey heels being dragged on floor at the Venetian.\n\n<strong>The Pool Prowler</strong>\nYoung kids who go to Vegas don’t even have a gambling agenda. They just want to live the Jersey Shore dream with a $1500 poolside cabana complete with vodka bottle service and your favorite mixer. Tanned dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more T&amp;A than you’ll see at most strip clubs that serve booze. In this environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not even lookin’ for action.

of different characters. There\'s the stereotypical loud types, super drunk types, drop dead gorgeous types and so on, but there\'s also a bunch of other characters that you\'ll meet in Sin City. Here\'s 21 random people you\'ll see in Vegas:\n\n<strong>The Old Asian Dude Who Knows Dice Control and Can Win You Bank at the Craps Table</strong>\nIf you like craps, find the table with the four-foot Asian dude with the glasses and the slouch. If you see him setting the dice as he picks ‘em up, camp out at that table and just enjoy your winnings. When he leaves, you need to leave too.  \n\n<strong>Aggressive Mechanical Wheelchair Guy</strong> \nDude, I’m trying to get out of your way but you need to slow down on those turns, buddy. I know you got a disability and all, but that doesn’t give you the right to mow people down with your high-speed bulldozer-chair.\n\n<strong>The Chick with the Bad Boob Job</strong> \nWait a minute, there’s something wrong with those basketballs bolted on your chest. They might look good from afar, but when you get too close, the cross-eyed nipples start staring at you in opposite directions. Big boobs look great and all, but those south-by-northeast nips just ain’t right.    \n\n<strong>The Explosive Shitter in the Bathroom</strong> \nI don’t know if it’s the beer-shits or the buffet-shits or some killer combo of the two, but you can’t visit a casino bathroom without hearing some sort of crazy asstastrophe going on. Dude, can I get a courtesy flush on that butt-shrapnel?  \n\n<strong>The Girl Who’s Just Not Hot Enough</strong> \nVegas makes you horny. Maybe it’s the booze or the pros or all the titties on display, but when you’re in Vegas, you start to think that anyone’s shaggable. Well, almost everyone. There’s always that girl who’s just not hot enough. Maybe she’s got a poor face-to-body or body-to-face grade. Maybe’s she’s just a little too chunky or too crazy. Whatever it is, you’ll always find a chick on the bubble who just misses the cutoff, even when you’re blasted and seeing double.  \n\n<strong>The Old Local Lifer with the WTF Haircut</strong> \nOh man, Vegas locals are a trip. They got their funny t-shirts and physical deformities (like a neck barnacle or an extra back or some shit). A lot of these have the most ridiculous haircuts you’ve ever see. Like the lady with the 5-2 step-mullet-fade that’s half highlighted and half spikey.  \n\n<strong>Pornstar Asian Chicks</strong> \nWait a minute, that blond haired, blue-eyed shorty with the super stacked package isn’t a white girl? Nope, she’s one of those pornstar Asian chick. These down-to-get-down Tila Tequilla-types never travel alone. There’s always at least seven or eight of ‘em. You’ll know their coming when you hear the click-clack-shuffle of hey heels being dragged on floor at the Venetian.  \n\n<strong>The Pool Prowler</strong> \nYoung kids who go to Vegas don’t even have a gambling agenda. They just want to live the Jersey Shore dream with a $1500 poolside cabana complete with vodka bottle service and your favorite mixer. Tanned dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more T&amp;A than you’ll see at most strip clubs that serve booze. In this environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not even lookin’ for action. He’s just categorizing images for his spank bank and hoping to see a nipple slip when some blondie’s using a towel to remove wetness from her pink string bikini.  \n\n<strong>The Dude Who Just Got Out of Jail and Needs Money</strong> \nIf some shady white dude with neck tats tries to chat you up at the slots, don’t engage. The dude just got out of jail and he needs money to get back home. He was put in jail because of a long story involving his girlfriend, a crowbar and peanut butter. Don’t offer him a ride and don’t give him any money.  \n\n<strong>Raider Fans</strong> \nRaider fans are everywhere, especially in Vegas. Raider fans have the dumbest football IQ of any fan group. These guys yell stupid shit at the Sportsbook to cheer their team on even when the Raiders aren’t playing. They always think the Raiders are going to win, and a couple times each year, they’re right.  \n\n<strong>Fat Chicks Who Travel in Packs</strong> \nWith all the amazing tail on display in Vegas, chubby girls have it rough. They need to stick together. When was the last time you saw one fat girl by herself in a casino? It doesn’t happen. Large girls know they need to travel in packs to minimize their maximum exposure.  \n\n<strong>The Bald Guy with the Fanny Pack</strong>\n Look man, I know you’re on vacation and I know you have a ton of shit to carry, but the tucked-in t-shit and shorts with a fanny pack and comfortable running shoes just sends out a rob me signal to the entire world. Man up, put some pants on, store stuff in your pockets and tell your nagging wife to shut the hell up.  \n\n<strong>Drunken Business Bros</strong> \nWe’re at a conference bro! I’m gonna get so wasted that I may even untuck my shirt at 3am. No promises though. Let’s high-five and yell whenever we double down or split 8s at the blackjack table. I can’t believe you didn’t hook up with Kimberly from marketing, bro. She was so into you!  \n\n<strong>Three Greasy Hipster Dudes with One Grimy Skinny Chick </strong> \nHipsters travel in disproportionate girl-to-guy ratios. Typically you’ll see three flanneled ironic-facial haired PBR drinkers to every one bright-plastic-eyeglass-wearing pale and depressed looking skinny gal with satirical high tops and a haircut from the future. I don’t why this is.  \n\n<strong>Old Oxygen Tank Guy</strong> \nLook, I’m no doctor, but if you’re wheeling around an oxygen tank in a smoke filled slot pit, maybe you need to find another spot to spend your Tuesday afternoons. I know they pump extra oxygen in the casino, but that’s gotta be offset by the cancer cave-like conditions near the Wheel of Fortune games.  \n\n<strong>Prostitutes?</strong> \nWait is this smoking hot broad laughing at my jokes because it’s 5am and we’re the only two people left at the bar? Or is my bankroll about to take an unsuspecting hit from a professional lady of the night? It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Girls in Vegas like to go extra slutty with it. If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it. Concoct a story of lost wealth so she knows you got nothing left to spend for the evening. If she is a professional, she’ll move on.  \n\n<strong>The Dapper Old Dude with Cut Up Plastic Jailbait</strong> \nNothing’s creeper than seeing some slick old-timer with huge shades, a fitted burgundy suit and gold chains walking around with a 17-year old brunette who just got done with her 17th augmentation surgery. \n\n<strong>The Cheapskate</strong> \nYou know, the guy who camps out at the buffet so he can catch the breakfast and the lunch rotation. Or the guy who lingers around the slots to get a free drink and then doesn’t tip the waitress. In Vegas, cheap bastards are everywhere. You can spot them by their shifty eyes and willingness to fake gamble for long periods of time just to score a bud light.  \n\n<strong>Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties</strong> \nThere’s nothing funnier than a large group of horny bachelor party dudes who can’t get into a club ‘cause there’s not one chick among them. Well that’s not true. Seeing a wild back of bachelorette party girls who are walking around with hungry eyes and dildos and goofy matching t-shirts is also pretty entertaining.  \n\n<strong>Wedding Party Girls Looking for Action</strong> Nothing’s more romantic than getting married in Vegas. It’s every girl’s dream, really. Well, maybe not every girl, but girls who are around other girls who just got married want to get down something fierce. That’s a fact. If you see a pack of casino skirts who look like they’re going to church, you know what to do.  <strong>Sad Children</strong> Vegas is so much fun for adults. Things get tricky when you bring the kids, though. Sure there are responsible parents who just love spending family time together watching those outrageous blue man guys do their outrageous blue man thing, but most of the time, if you see kids at a casino in Vegas, they look sad as hell. There’s only so much TV you can watch when mom and dad are burning through your college tuition during a 13-hour slot bender. Don’t park junior at the buffet. Leave the kids at home.','21 Random People You See in Vegas','','inherit','open','open','','2305-revision-2','','','2010-10-15 12:17:28','2010-10-15 19:17:28','',2305,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2305-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(2334,2,'2010-10-15 12:18:14','2010-10-15 19:18:14','When you got Vegas, you encounter a lot of different characters.
