Week in Reviews: Kurve Gets the Goose Egg

Krieger, 7/20/08 Today Frankie Boom Boom finally gets his chance to review the perplexing, the overwrought, the neon, Kurve. The entire experience—from the design to the music to the food to the service—offends the Brunz and he awards it a stinging goose egg. But why review a place so obviously egregious and underpopulated? Bruni explains:"It could be argued that reviewing a restaurant this assertively kooky is shooting gills, fins and shells in a barrel, but Kurve is a riddle and lesson too

I’m Back (What I Did, What I’m Doing)

Jump to Comments After an excruciating eight days I’m back to regular blogging mode. I know it was a pathetic attempt at a blogging hiatus, but I hate being out of the little loop I’ve created for myself online, there are far too many YouTube videos from my subscriptions over the last week to even attempt catching up on them. So what did I do over the past week? I did zero surfing. Unfortunately I’m not too keen on going down there by myself - not out of a fear of drowning, but the general path

From Manny to Hank, Endorsements vary for National League MVP

The ballot gave reporters a reason to ask Ramirez about a quirk of his career. One of the best righthanded hitters of h

Football on the Radio

Many people romanticize baseball on the radio. Football is something else entirely. On Sunday, while I was driving home from the Big Red Machine reunion in Cincinnati*, I listened to the entire Kansas City Chiefs-New Orleans Saints game on my brand new “Best of Sirius” radio package. I cannot even remember the last time I listened to an entire NFL game on the radio. It was probably when I was a kid listening to the Cleveland Browns game through radio static. Bernie Kosar, when he was young, c
