Wednesday Scrapple

 

The political party makes no difference.  If you can't behave at the State of the Union address, where can you behave?

Speaking of politics, gang violence seems to be the new "in" issue.  I'm having a hard time seeing how any politician can fix this.  Throwing money at the problem won't help.  This is a "home" issue.

Some Taco Bell restaurants in and around Oakland, California are closing their dining rooms because of an increase in crime.  It's now drive-through only.

Jimmy Kimmel stopped being funny a long time ago.

RIP, Eric Carmen.

The Sunday morning network talk shows used to be more light than heat.  Now, it seems like they're trying to out-do each other and make headlines for their arguments.

Today's entry in the "you know all the words, even though you haven't heard the sing in years" is Arlo Guthrie's "City of New Orleans."

FOX will air some college football games on Friday night this year.  More cannibalism.  Fridays used to belong to high school football.  Christmas was NBA territory.  Black Friday was college football time.  Now, the NFL is moving things about.  There are no rules.

I'm sorry Paul Giamatti didn't win an Academy Award Sunday night.  His time will come.

By the way, the Academy Awards hit a four year high Sunday night.  It's easy to see why.  Popular movies were up for awards, and the broadcast didn't last until 1 in the morning.

Media collapse:  Deadspin.com sold.  Entire staff fired.

Fun fact:  There are 32 Dollar General stores in Erie County, PA

What's with all the wind the last several months?

I'm not sure Russell Johnson is the answer to the Steelers' problems, but he has to be better than Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph.

A reputable Yahoo! Sports writer predicts the Atlantic Coast Conference is the next to implode.
