The Montauk Monster is B-A-N-A-N-A-S

Like most other independently wealthy struggling and chubby entrepreneurs I summer on the east end. But last weekend I found myself in Fire Island. Despite Miss Matt’s insightful and potentially life-altering psychoanalysis, there was only one reason I took the fairy to FI. I wanted to get as far away from the […]

Ron Ron: Hunter College to Houston

I moped off the subway last night a bit dejected as a result of a first round playoff loss in my wiffle ball league. In the second inning, Sitman’s little bro threw a change up that hung like Nathan Hale and that, along with a healthy dose of Tim Donaghy like umpiring, was the difference […]

TitleTown USA IS the Wackness

The moment my toddler brain was actually developed enough to comprehend Sports (thanks in part to a few Boo Harvey buzzer beaters) Sportscenter replaced Sesame Street and Thundercats on my television set. Twenty years later, I’ve yet to change the channel. I even remember exactly where I was and who I was with (Colby, […]

All Stars out of a possible All Stars

For whatever reason they don’t usually award NYC with big time sports events these days. Think about it. No recent love for all star games, super bowls, Final Four’s or Olympiads. I’m not trying to complain. I’d take the NYC sports world over any other city in the world (Titletown USA be damned!). […]

The Contentization of Commercials (It’s Love)

I have two songs that have been stuck in my head for awhile now and it’s driving me crazy. As many of you know I’m musically challenged. If life was an opera I would be hanging out with Lenny in the field tending rabbits. So this is as nagging and annoying as a kernal […]

The Internet Will Be Televised

This week I had one of those geeky internet “A HA” moments when I actually believe that I can see into the future of digital media. As I said, geeky…but let me explain.
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about hulu.com and how it is fast becoming one of my favorite websites. […]

Tiger at Torrey

I’m indifferent to Tiger Woods the person. His commercials are blah and I find him kind of whiney in interviews and press conferences. I LOVE Tiger Woods the golfer. I dig his competitiveness, determination and his perfect stance and alignment over the ball is, well, just perfect.
When I lived in San […]

Failure Is Not Just A River In Egypt

We’ve recently hit a few bumps in the road at Sportsvite and for the first time I can see a path to failure as easily I can see success. Then last week I was in the audience at the NY Tech Meetup. The most successful startups in NYC were presenting their companies and […]

Awesome Website Bro: Hulu.com

I’ve been enjoying Hulu lately and it’s fast becoming one of my favorite ways to watch movies and television shows. This weekend I watched 28 Days Later (good but not as good as 28 Weeks Later) and I’ve been plowing through the first season of Arrested Development (genious). I could even get my Vinny […]

Spanning The Web

One of the reasons that I first started to blog was to share all the amazing stuff I encounter on the world wide web. I’ve kind of strayed a bit from that goal in my unintentional quest to be some kind of a little guy’s Mitch Albom (part sports, part life, all happiness). […]
