Oscar Night: The Annual "Shoudas" and "Willas"
The 84th annual Academy Awards will be wrapping up in about nine hours from now, but that still gives me the opportunity to give you my annual “Shouda” and “Willa” predictions in advance of tonight’s show. The “Shoudas” are who I would award the Oscar to in each category and the “Willas” are who will actually take the hardware home this evening. It’s been a great year in film, with many...

Off My Rizzockah on a Satahday Nite
So the whole point behind 6 PM was to post on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday… at 6 PM. It’s Saturday, but I’m chilling inside the studios at WKU doing some radio production work and for some reason, my brain is telling me to write down some thoughts. Now the question is, what are those thoughts? This could get interesting folks, so grab a beverage and strap in for all the...

Batman and John Reese: Just the Beginning
If you haven’t been watching television lately, you might have missed a Thursday night program that’s beginning to turn some heads and actually won the People’s Choice Award for best new drama. Johnathan Nolan, brother of Chris (yes THAT Chris, if you didn’t know) created the show and produces and writes along with J.J. Abrams, one of the best at creating initial buzz for...

Tonight, the Burbank Buy More Closes
It’s been an odd day - extremely cold and rather unpleasant mixed with a feeling of loss. Please understand I’m speaking in relative terms, clearly the end of a television series is not a true “loss,” but in its way, it’s sad.
It’s disappointing because NBC had a property that could have been much better publicized, but they chose to place it on Mondays at...
Writing a Novel
Today’s 6 PM could be one of the shortest of all time, but it’s for a good reason. Less than two hours from now, you’ll ALL be listening (yes you will) to the return of Jay Freeze to Revolution 91.7 FM. Four solid hours of yours truly paving the way to Local Shots at 10, all kicked off alongside Jeremy Brown for 30 minutes of The Redzone - talking all things Tops sports. Today...

I took the holidays off as far as 6 PM is concerned but I’m back - you’ll get new content delivered fresh every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening at… well, 6 PM. We’ve covered all this stuff by now. It’s actually 11:30 here in the CTZ right now and in 87 minutes, I’ll be sitting alongside my cohort in crime, Jeremy Brown, inside the MMTH WKU studios...
Television: The Very Best of 2011
Oh what a long strange trip it’s been… in a Jerry Garcia kind of mood as we prepare to put 2011 to its permanent resting place. In the world this year we saw the end of Usama, the beginning of the Arab Spring, mischaracterized as a great thing by the mainstream media, as well as the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State, the potential end of the EU as Greece and Italy are on the brink, the S&P...

Number Five
I cleverly decided to compose this final portion of my NBA’s biggest questions series three days after I had advertised it simply because I wanted to “not show up” just as today’s topic didn’t in the 2011 NBA Finals. Okay, so that’s just a coincidence - things just came up and I wasn’t able to get to the piece until today. But let’s do it...
Number Four
Today, let’s get right to it without much of a prelude. Monday we talked about the Lakers and Kobe Bryant, Tuesday we touched on Dwight Howard’s future, and yesterday we discussed the Durant-Westbrook duo.
4. WILL THE COMBO GUARD BE THE LAST POSITION STANDING?
The NBA point guard might be the most entertaining position to watch in all of basketball. It’s always fun to...
Number Three
Interesting info over the past twenty-four hours concerning Dwight Howard, with the Nets (soon to be of Brooklyn) reportedly offering Brook Lopez and two future first round picks for the Magic big man. My guess is that Orlando will pass on that deal and the rumor still has Dwight truly wanting to play in Hollywood for either the Clippers or the Lakers. Time will tell, but “Number...

Number Two
I realize that yesterday I talked about a “Christmas column” in reference to the reader not becoming too excited about the possibility, but it may have made no sense. I wanted to clarify that bit of lunacy for all you guys and gals quickly. Basically, I had a different title, one that referenced the holiday season, but scrapped it and still managed to leave the intro in, so if you...
Number One
Before some of you get superbly excited, this is NOT a Christmas column, but instead is a week-long look at the top five things to watch as we approach the beginning of the lockout-shortened NBA season on December 25th. Obviously the list is subjective and each reader might have his or her own opinion, but here’s the list as your humble author sees it…these are just some of the...

Not Wanting a Rematch Isn't Good Enough
It’s been painful…actually it’s been figurative torture to listen to the horde of supposed experts across the sports media landscape talk about the BCS since LSU’s placekicker gave the Bengal Tigers a 9-6 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa three weeks ago. All of a sudden, it seemingly became fashionable not only to rip the game itself apart for lacking...

It's Just LAZY Storytelling, Folks
It’s 6 PM - do you know where your children are? They’re huddled around a screen reading this… so you should join them.
This could easily become a Peter Griffin-style “What Grinds My Gears” piece, but I will attempt to avoid that comparison by focusing more on the “why” than the “what.”
Have you ever grown increasingly frustrated with the...

Questions I'm Pondering... No Answers Yet
So here’s one for you… I left my killer BrainWavz earbuds (seriously these things are the greatest EVAH) at the “cut” and thus was forced to endure the horrors of walking through campus this morning in silence. It put me in the unenviable position of having to try and entertain myself between buildings and attempt not to perish from boredom as I strolled through various...
Why Is What Glitters Always Gold?
It’s been a minute… actually let’s be real folks, it’s been several HOURS since we’ve last spoken. I thought the 6 PM idea was a good one for a blog, letting the name be a placeholder for the time to expect new content. What I didn’t expect was that my penchant for personal “slacktitude” would get in the way of me actually trying to build this...

Apocalypse Please →
Great vid from years ago of a Gomez video used as a visual for Muse’s “Apocalypse Please” off of Absolution. I’ve loved this one for a long time - interesting how well it fits.
