Above: Me at LSU-North Texas with Ross Lancaster, and at Washington-Colorado with David Kreutz. It’s college football bowl season, and that means it’s time for the 8th annual Living Room Times Bowl Pick ‘em Contest! The contest is now underway. If you entered my 2010 or 2011 Bowl Pick ’em contest(s), you can log in with the OfficeFootballPool.com username &… Read more »
[NOTE: In addition to entering the contest, please bookmark my Liveblog, Livechat & Live Results page, then come back Tuesday for election results and contest results!] With less than three weeks until the presidential election, the polls are open for my quadrennial blog contest to see who can best predict the Electoral College outcomes! It’s time to start playing with… Read more »
By popular demand (by which I mean Becky said I should do it), I’ve set up a Live Chat for tonight’s Academy Awards after all. More on that in a second, but first, join my 8th annual Oscar Pool! The ABC broadcast starts at 5:00 PM Mountain Time, the actual awards at 5:30 PM, but you can start chatting whenever… Read more »
I’ve very, very late to this… so late that it’s already Oscar Day on the East Coast… but it’s time to (quickly!) sign up for the 8th annual Living Room Times Oscar Pool! Frankly, I completely forgot until late in the week that this was coming up, and then I was too busy to get it set up, until tonight…. Read more »
Dude… it’s PajamasMedia.com. I apologize to my LRT readers for having so little coverage of Hurricane Irene here, while I was blogging up a storm (pun intended) over at my Pajamas Media site, Weather Nerd. Ideally, I would have done more partial cross-posting — understandably, PJM doesn’t let me do full cross-posts, since they pay me for exclusive content, but… Read more »
…I’ve just had no time to blog for the last week-and-a-half. My evening free time is largely taken up holding a baby, and, well, it’s hard to type while you’re doing that. But hey, at least nothing newsworthy/blogworthy has happened during that time, like, oh I don’t know: • Michelle Bachmann wins the Iowa Straw Poll; • Generic Republican drops… Read more »
With basketball over, football far away, and Becky heading into her third trimester, I’ve decided to take a break from Twitter. This eliminates, at least for the moment, the need for an extra or double-wide blog sidebar showing my latest tweets. So we’re back to the old 835-pixel-wide layout. Low-res and mobile users, rejoice! (Apropos of which, if this page… Read more »
If the blog looks all screwy this morning, with a big blank space in between the blog content and a tiny right sidebar, view my stylesheet and hit reload on your browser, then come back to this page and again click reload. That should fix it. What I’ve done is create a massive right sidebar for ScribbleLive-fueled live coverage (largely… Read more »
With five days till Selection Sunday, we’re getting closer and closer to the 16th annual Living Room Times basketball pools — NCAA men’s, NCAA women’s and NIT. And I can’t wait!! This year, the men’s NCAA pool will have a newly compressed entry deadline, thanks to the First Four a.k.a. #quadPIG, which can no longer be ignored, as the #PIG… Read more »
Randy Styles, who became a father Saturday morning, earned a perhaps slightly less momentous (heh) but still notable achievement Sunday night, as he won his second consecutive Living Room Times contest — following up his win in the LRT Bowl Pick ’em Contest with a victory in the LRT Oscar Pool. Better watch out for Randy in the upcoming NCAA… Read more »
