Make sure to use their inventive ranking system that places their posts into categories based on reader votes. Personally, I voted ‘LOL’ and ‘Win’ for these Arrested […]

Top 5 Necessary Evils of Childhood Sports

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

There’s a group of guys that gets together every Sunday afternoon and plays a fairly organized game of wiffleball at the little league fields next to our house. Regrettably, I am not one of those guys, but I support them nonetheless. They have what looks like a manual scoreboard, a video camera on a tripod, […]

Go the F*ck to Sleep – A Children’s Book

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

When we launched this site, we promised survival tips for children of the 80s living in today’s world. So many of us in this age range are now or are soon to be experiencing parenthood. If a survival guide is necessary for any territory we will ever enter, this is the one. I was amazed […]

My Two Favorite Actors Together At Last

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

The Change-Up hits theaters August 5, and stars Jason Bateman & Ryan Reynolds. (Man Crush 1 & Man Crush 2, as we refer to them in our household) This video of the two of them promoting it is hilarious. From the 2 minute mark on, I was crying.

First Look at Henry Cavill as Superman in The Man of Steel

Here is it, courtesy of Warner Brothers. The detail on the costume resembles Thor to me. What do you think? Spiderman? Thoughts?

Sports Teams on This List Have No Excuse for Losing

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Football is upon us! If you are anything like me, you were kind of ignoring the NFL lockout, pretty much operating on the assumption that a deal would get done in time to have an NFL season. We would lose at most a preseason game or two. No big deal. It seems that assumption has […]

Top 5 Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (G.L.O.W.)

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Saturday mornings, 1986. What a nice feeling to be able to sleep in! Roll out of bed by 9am at the absolute earliest, whip up some Carnation Instant Breakfast, knock down a couple bowls of Lucky Charms, and I was ready for my day. What better way to start off the weekend than some professional […]

A Love Letter to Matthew Berry (ESPN’s Talented Mr. Roto)

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Dear Matthew, I was going address this letter “Dear Fantasy Ne’er Do Well” or some other faux-condescending salutation as many of the ESPN Fantasy Focus emails begin, but it would not fit with the theme of this note. You are second guessed, criticized, and berated too often. Your Twitter followers harass and disrespect you. Retweeting […]

How to Survive Post Sunburn Itch

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

At long last I found a forum from 2004 in which a Hell’s Itch sufferer had asked for advice and some helpful commenter suggested…

This Would Be the Scariest Horror Movie Ever

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

Last month I wrote a column about some car trouble I had and suggested the idea of a WebMD for Automobiles. I also think there should be a company in the phone book that you can call and they will send an impartial judge to your house to decide which spouse is right in an […]
