I heard this on his show today. He replayed his comments in order to defend them. He, of course, compared baseball to football, believing football to much more complex. It may well be. Though I have a hard time believing that considering the success of the University of Miami, FSU, etc.

WOuldn't hate seeing Green in the lineup. But I hate seeing Freese go down. He seemed to be getting some key HRs. Maybe my imagination but it seems he gets HRs or a hit when the other bats are on a sabbatical.

Tank, now that I understand you are a vegetarian, have you tried the Veggie Grill? I love it. Their salads are imaginative without being gross. And they have a "chicken wing" dish that's not bad.

Partially correct: The show wasn't lame. It had Miami Vice in the title. If I'm not mistaken, there was a shootout as well. After the Vice experience was removed, I believe Universal put in a Waterworld exhibition. The second best thing about Universal Studios at the time was the real life "Barbie" dolls they had walking around. Hot chicks dressed up as Barbie dolls. As it was a "hollywood" sitatuation, no one could be left out (that's only done when it matters: when writers and directors are hired). So, there was this really hot Black Barbie that walked around with the blonde Barbies. But I digress...

I didn't see Large Feces' home run. Did he admire it and bat flip like he did after he hit that HR in Boston last year after Richards was taken off the field on a gurney? You know, the HR he hit after the Angels brought in whatever bullpen dude with light warm up? That was quintessential Red Sux/Large Feces douchebagery.

WTF are you people talking about?! So much to deconstruct here. But, point of fact, there was no episode to ever take place in Irvine. Season 5 did have a few episodes which took place in L.A., however (parts of seasons 4 and 5 were shot in LA, but only on stages). The closest Miami Vice got to Irvine? No joke: in one of the episodes there's some stock footage used for an establishing shot of LA. It's from the Venice boardwalk. If you look real close, some dude biking by is wearing a Balboa Beach Company t-shirt. And alas, I have had my picture taken between Isaac Hayes and...Paul Gleason who was in the third season premiere of Miami Vice starring one Liam Neeson. Perhaps some of you would know Mr. Gleason as "Bender" from the Breakfast Club. Which also starred John Kapelos as "Carl the Janitor." He was in the Miami Vice episode "Milk Run." Thank you.

Gawker is very good at judging while pretending to be an open-minded source. The contradictions on that p.o.s. site are ideal for these modern times and ethos.

No. If orientals count.

Learn farsi or mandarin. On a more or less serious note, if you're into ethnic foods, there's an awesome market called Wholesome Choice on Culver west of the 405. It's a kind of third world knock off of Whole Foods. It's the face of new America without the mexicans. Order the bread called "sangkak." It's delicious and cheap and cooked right in front of you, to order. There's also a food-to-go area with excellent kabobs, indian food, chinese. Basically it's a UN of diarrhea. But well worth the blowout.

Although it makes you want jump off a bridge, I'm partial to "This Night Has Opened My Eyes." Great lo-fi approach. "The Headmaster's Ritual," has great lyrics and are easy to identify with. Basically about an a-hole teacher who thought he was the bee's knees, but took out his failures on the students (Morrissey, specifically, I'm guessing.). And I love the bizarre lyrics to "Some Girls are Bigger than Others:" "As Anthony said to Cleopatra when he opened a crate of ale...Oh I say." And, "Lend me your pillow, the one that you dream on." WTF?!?

Great news. I've hated that team since they moved to Anaheim and destroyed the original design of the Big A, to say nothing of the damage caused to the playing field during football season. All done for the favor of non-sell outs and the stupid lame cheesy awful Rams Band. F the NFL and the Rams! Forever!!!

I'm watching the Miami Vice episode titled "Free Verse." Suicidal Tendencies has a cameo playing live in a club. They're playing "institutionalized."

The city of San Francisco and the State of Arizona beg to differ. Which way would you like it to be?

They speak each other's unspoken language.

To wit, there was an episode of Miami Vice called "Evan." It's commonly considered to be either the best Vice episode or at least in the top 2. It's about another undercover cop on a suicide mission...boozing, challenging people to shoot him and so on. He came up on the force with Crockett. They used to be friends. But this one cop gave another cop a bad time, calling him "faggot this, faggot that," to quote Crockett. (Very progressive to hear this on something made in 1985)). Anyways, as Crockett tells it to Tubbs, "Turns out he really was gay." The dude kills himself because he can't handle how that peoples might find out. So, the suicide mission undercover cop has been blaming himself ever since. A very good episode. Recommended.

I think you're referring to Aaron Lipstadt. I think that's the name. I believe he directed the episode Payback. As a director, he would be completely hands on with the music. I am disappointed this information was kept from DR for so long. I started watching an ep of Crime Story on Friday, too. But it got late and I fell asleep. Dennis Farina, of course, was in both Miami Vice and Crime Story.

What's important here is this: Roberto Duran made a guest appearance in the Miami Vice episode "Payback." This is the same episode which starred Frank Zappa. It's a really good episode...I happened to watch it Friday. Duran plays a convicted drug dealer named "Moroto" who blows his brains out in front of Crockett during a prison visit. The episode, like much of tv at the time, was free of political correctness. At one point, Crockett asks a drug dealer whatever happen to some go-between and the dealer says something like, "He was an illegal alien. I feed them to the sharks." If you ever get the chance, check out this episode. It also features the band X's version of "Soul Kitchen."

Al Wisk and Al Conin were greatly underrated. They had a little piss and vinegar in them which the fans needed at that time.

What an unrepresentative and awful list. There's so much to comment on, there's nothing to say.

...And the laws in Arizona would be even more strict if the Obama administration through its chosen U.S. Attorney General and his office would not have sought to clamp down on Arizona trying to clamp down on U.S. immigration laws which the Federal government has chosen to mostly not enforce. Especially in election years. Again, the picking and choosing of which laws to enforce is a slippery slope and these deaths are representative of how slippery that slope has gotten.

Wow. Sounds like a general CYA to point the finger elsewhere. The mayor says he will continue to make sure the laws aren't enforced. I wish we had the luxury to pick and choose which laws to obey. We continue to slide down a very slippery slope.

Hmmm...the sculpted eye brows are suspicious. Is there an illegal alien problem with Armenians?

I don't think the murder of this woman is being used to make everyone fear all undocumented immigrants. I don't even think it's making everyone, let along a majority of the population, consider how the illegal alien was allowed to be released from jail in San Francisco without ICE being allowed to take the now confessed murderer into custody due to his illegal and felony status. In fact, I saw the murder covered on ABC's national news and the discussion centered on who was to blame for a "paperwork mix-up." There was scant mention of the murderer being an illegal alien. Fear not.

Spastic Ball Boy! And not at all related to Joyce Dewitt.
