Another One Bites The Dust

Another one, but not just any one. Mark’s South Beach, in the Hotel Nash, is no more. Perhaps not surprising, as The Nash was a curiously low-profile address for so high-profile a chef. It was out of sight from the street and, as far as locals were concerned, pretty much…

Bill Parcells Is Good At Drafting

Some dude from the Union-Tribute wrote an 800 word piece on how he too does not know what Bill Parcells will do with the Dolphins’ first overall pick. But he does make some neat observations, like how Parcells has done nothing but study tapes on college players and talk to…

More From Enrique and Joe

Crossing the line isn’t always a difficult task when you’re a ‘shock jock’ personality hosting a morning radio show, who garnered a following by being crude, rude and all things beyond.

Cappadonna A No Show

Lucy Orozco Better Than: Being home alone drunk on a Saturday night, listening to Wu-Tang on your iPod. Cappadonna, a lesser known part of the Wu Tang Clan family, was supposed to perform Saturday at Studio A. Instead, club personnel posted a sign at the entrance asking anyone to call…

Japanese Films Are Pretty Creepy

Nestle Gives People The Finger

I got a press release this morning announcing that Nestle will be changing the name of their Butterfinger candy bar to just, “The Finger.” I can picture it now, Bart Simpson pulling his chocolate bar away from Nelson after knocking him out, then looking at the television viewer while quipping,…

Sarnoff’s Antics on YouTube

Tennis On The Beach?

Lucy Orozco Traffic before the toll booths on the Rickenbaker Causeway was backed up for almost an hour due to the Sony Ericsson Open. It was interesting to find people with a dislike for certain aspects of tennis at the event. These people developed their own version of the game,…
