NFLOL: Sean Keane Recaps Week 7 of NFL Football →
My weekly NFL recap is up. Here’s an excerpt:
Pittsburgh 27, Minnesota 17
Last week, I predicted that outdoor, cold-weather games would lead to game-killing turnovers from Brett Favre. While that happened this week, the interception and fumble returns weren’t really #4’s fault. It does seem like Minnesota is asking a lot in having a 40-year-old man attempt 51 passes, and absorb ten...

Classic Keane punny headlines plus totally unjustified mockery of other US states and non-states.
Canada: Nothing embodies the essence of America like rugged individualism and quaint local customs. The hardy individuals who patrol our backwoods making syrup are an American force on par with the wildly productive (and delicious!) Mounted Police. As shown here, Canada’s annual syrup festival...
Costumes
jaystarr:
Torlin and I bought our Halloween costumes yesterday. Torlin wanted to make fun of the fact that all women’s costumes are just slut versions of things, so I will be Dexter and she will be Sexy Dexter. Sexy Dexter has a blood spattered apron and cargo pants that have been turned into a skirt. She is also making earrings that look like Dexter’s blood slides. My wife is completely...
Mark McGwire's first press conference
sportscentr:
(Scene: Busch Stadium, St. Louis. Mark McGwire is taking questions about his new job as hitting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals.)
REPORTER #1: Mark, this is your first public appearance since testifying before Congress back in 2005. Since then, a number of superstars have tested positive for performance-enhancing. I wonder if you - MARK MCGWIRE: Let me stop you right there. ...

Business Update
chrisgarcia:
Comedians Hari Kondabolu and Kyle Kinane joined us at the Business last week and it was awesome! But don’t take my word for it, read a recap of the show here.
I’m really proud that The Business has been going strong for 6 months now. It’s not easy to produce a weekly show, but me and the boys have done it.
If you’d like to check it out sometime, we’re at the Dark Room in San...
Birthday Wine Tasting, Highlight #2
Gene: (referring to a Chardonnay) This is so good, I don't even need a spit bucket.
Sean: That's what she said!
Winery workers: Please leave.
Birthday Wine Tasting Trip, Highlight #1
We are in Napa for my friend Kristen’s birthday trip. My friend Jason is drinking slowly. However, the standard is five tastes per person, and Michele wanted more. So, he used his final two tastes to get wine for her.
The first attempt went fine, when Jason got a pinot, but there were many weird looks from the winery staff on his second vist, when he asked for a Cabernet Soft. Not a Cab...
Podcasts We Made: New podcast, similar cast →
The first show was recorded on October 1st, and features Joey Devine, Jesse Fernandez, and Sean Keane. It was recorded in a hotel room in New York City, right about the time a friend of ours, Little Steven, was putting together a record of artists against apartheid. It’s a song written about a man, in a shantytown, outside of Johannesburg. A man who is sick of looking down the barrel of...
stories about my sister molly, part 2:... →
While the events of the day have established that my sister Molly, while a hide-and-seek champion, is not the hide-and-seek champion of all time, here is a look at a very impressive example of hide-and-seek resourcefulness/sibling and parental negligence:
Cousin Nick found most of us with ease. I was discovered behind the drapes, and the rest of my siblings and cousins were soon flushed from...

Let’s not forget what else happened in the news today: JP Morgan Chase reported $3.6 BILLION in profits in the 3rd quarter. Goldman Sachs reported $3.2 BILLION. Major US Banks and securities firms are planning on paying $140 BILLION in compensation this year. Goldman alone will be paying $20 BILLION in BONUSES ALONE. That’s an average BONUS of $700,000 per employee. For fuck’s sake....

Guessing Game
My office is roughly equidistant between a free health clinic specializing in drug and alcohol issues, and an ice rink. When cars park near my office, it’s fun to try to guess where each person is heading. For parents and little girls wearing tights and what look like princess outfits, the prediction is easy. But sometimes it’s surprisingly difficult to guess. For example, the guy...
Alex Koll Hosts the SF Weekly Music Awards →
Check out this ringing endorsement from SFist:
Hosting the insanely drunken festivities — well, fine, we got blotto at last year awards; we can’t speak for the other attendees’ sobriety levels — is comedian Alex Koll. We don’t know much about him, other than he has a gorgeous Jewfro and nifty glasses.
Nice research, Brock Keeling! Anyway, you can see Alex at The...
NFLOL: Sean Keane Roughs Up Week 5 of NFL Football →
My new column is up. An excerpt:
Carolina 20, Washington 17
Two quarterbacks about to be benched! One coach fighting to save his job! Another coach fighting to avoid giving a top-ten pick to the 49ers next year! Panthers! Redskins! The battle for the Roanoke Valley! This game continued the week’s theme of terrible NFL teams losing because they couldn’t even catch a punt. Byron Westbrook...
NFLOL: Sean Keane tackles week 4 of NFL Football →
My weekly football column on Rooftop. Excerpt:
Houston Texans 29, Oakland Raiders 6
The early doubleheader on the West Coast featured Raiders-Texans on CBS, and this game on FOX. You might never see a greater disparity in QB skill between Peyton Manning and JaMarcus Russell. It was like having “The Godfather” and “Daddy Day Care” on neighboring movie channels. Actually, Jeff Garlin would be a...

Sean and Louise Discuss Paul Giamatti, Part 2
Louise: how likely do you think it is that paul giamatti could ever be a high-powered CEO?
Sean: he is a blueblood
Sean: but, very very low
Sean: he's too short unless he founded the company himself
Louise: very low!
Sean: if the company sold, say, skrunt insurance?
Sean: possibly
There's A Scene
atencio:
…in Heat, which I guess is my favorite movie right now, that comes to mind tonight. For the first half of the film, we see the story of Dennis Haysbert, who plays a recently paroled con named Donald Breedan, as he decides to go straight and get a job as a short order cook. Supported by his loving wife, we watch the struggle to turn his life around in a system where the deck is...
