Loss of 95.5 The Beat music is no big deal
August 30, 2010 by JACOB ANDREWS

Atlanta’s hip-hop radio station, 95.5 The Beat, went off the air recently. Certain friends of mine voiced their outrage that a music station was being replaced by old white guys talking about boring old white guy things. Though I understood their viewpoint, I found myself wondering if it really was such a tragedy that 95.5 [...]

I’m a huge fan of Sunday talk shows. From the “The Georgia Gang” in the morning to ABC’s “This Week” in the early afternoon, I love shouting at the TV over coffee and eggs. Between that and the Sunday New York Times, I’m glued to the sofa for hours. During my time spent with TV [...]

After having a day to bask in the glory of the 62nd Emmys, I realized how delighted I was by the telecast. Lately, major award shows such as this have often resulted in a few awkward chuckles, predictable winners and a disappointing overall production. Let’s first give some mad props to Jimmy Fallon. Though he [...]

God, country, family, sports. Such is the hierarchy of importance for many Americans since the first time we hit a baseball or threw a football. The majority of us have been surrounded since childhood with the spectacle of organized sports and the hero status accorded to those who can run fast, jump high or throw [...]

Georgia’s last practice in full pads before Saturday’s season opener was one coach Mark Richt would like to have back. “I would have to say it left a little to be desired,” Richt said of Monday’s practice. “It wasn’t quite the tempo I was hoping for. I don’t think they were dogging it, but I [...]
Enough is enough: football players’ run-ins with the law have gotten incredibly out of hand

Stop it, OK!? Just stop! Stop driving with suspended licenses, stop drinking and driving, stop getting kicked out of bars underage. University football players need to realize that there is a strong spotlight pointed as squarely at them as an ACC police officer’s flashlight.
