Experts say that to eliminate body odor, one should stick to a diet rich in vegetables and take chlorophyll supplements and wear loose-fitting clothing and bathe regularly and always wear socks with closed-toe shoes and think only pleasant, floral thoughts. But that advice is worth fuck-all when you've spent the weekend eating cheeseburgers and woke up too late to shower before work and you ran out of clean laundry days ago and the only socks you can find are the novelty Thanksgiving turkey socks that your mom gave you as a joke last year because they were $2 at a gas station.

For many years, prior to the Oscar nominations, the boy from Mattoon and his friend Tim have put on their Ebert t-shirts and run down their personal best movies of 2010. It's cute. Sometimes I chime in. My list is below. 10. The Abalone and The Crestfallen Kerchief: Japanese anime sensation Kurozawa Nakamtomi Niputo stunned international audiences 12 years ago with his four-minute short film Wang-Wang, The Boulder Crusher, a sensational adaptation of The Myth of Sisyphus, and featuring Wang-Wang, the philosophy-spouting washing machine trapped in an existential crisis. In TAATK, we're introduced to another inanimate object, Penelope, the potty-mouthed kerchief who can't find a "real" man and hesitantly begins a whirlwind romance with Bonky, the smooth-talking …

data-mm-id=”_1gyb3wvwx”>The Witcher finally has a release date! Netflix's newest original TV show dropped their second (and presumably final) trailer with the announcement the show will release on December 20th. As a passionate fan of both The Witcher novels and video games, I have some thoughts I'd like to share. Henry Cavill May Just Make a Great Geralt After All I, along with many other fans, questioned the casting choice of Henry Cavill as Geralt. He's a solid actor, but didn't blow anyone out of the water with his performances as Superman or yet another absurdly strong, evil secret agent Mission: Impossible. But Cavill, at the very least, proved he can hit the most important points when it comes to Geralt in this trailer. His moody, far-off gazes were spot-on, …

data-mm-id=”_qrb8y2pvo”>Jason Garrett and Jerry Jones just can't quit each other. Garrett's contract ended when the Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday. On Monday, Garrett was not formally let go. We wondered why not. Now it has been reported that Garrett will meet with Jerry Jones and his son again on Tuesday. And then another meeting will be set. So what is going on here?According to the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys aren't stringing Garrett along. This is just how families do things. “The more likely scenario is that Garrett wants the chance to connect with all of his players before walking out the door. He wants to be true to himself and his approach. He’s the one who considers this important.

This is what you do in a family business. And no mat…

data-mm-id=”_43jh36wml”>The first nibble of a strange new flavor of NBA hit the lips this afternoon with the resumption of exhibition games. It's all going to take some getting used to, even for the more adventurous consumers. And because of that, it's probably not the best idea to be making snap judgements. Some things need to be swished around for a while and the aftertaste considered before moving onto the next course. Yet, I think I've had my fill of the Zoom basketball broadcast. The first foray into it by the Denver Nuggets' television team has proved to be less than palatable. To be clear, it's through no fault of those involved. They're in a tough, awkward spot. Which is the problem. We've made it to 2020 without seeing the broadcasters' …

data-mm-id=”_u4bf3tm76″>The Las Vegas Raiders will most likely wait a year to show off their shiny new stadium. Owner Mark Davis seems to favor no fans to some fans after the league agreed to close off the first eight rows of seats to keep distance between players and fans that could possibly attend games this season. Via ESPN:”Davis said the Raiders’ idea of leaving the seats for fans and erecting hockey-style plexiglass around the bottom of the stadium to separate fans from players on the sidelines was “shot down” before the vote.”Give Davis a salad bar buffet sneeze guard or give him empty seats. Davis told ESPN that no fan is more important than any other, no matter how high their PSL. He also said that if there were no fans, he would also stay home because he is not essential. Dav…

data-mm-id=”_4rkcm6ipu”>We're all busy these days but it's important to never lose focus of what's really important at this particular time and place: Sports team names and their relative toughness. A lot of franchises are doing just great. You hear what they're called and it makes you do a Tim Taylor More Power grunt. Others? Well, they are disgraces. Here's a collection of professional sports franchises who should reconsider the message they are sending. Toronto Blue Jays, St. Louis Cardinals, Baltimore Orioles, Arizona Cardinals: Oh, what a bunch of pretty birdies! They're all so harmless you literally put food in your yard to attract them. You ever see any of these birds flying majestically over the ocean holding a shark in its feet? That's right.…

data-mm-id=”_cfm8kigmv”>Who said fans and bloggers don't have any power? After days, nay weeks, nay an entire offseason of virtually everyone outside of the Jets organization saying they need to fire Adam Gase as their head coach ASAP, it appears people inside the organization are finally starting to listen. According to ESPN NFL insider Chris Mortensen, the highest Jets higher-ups are evaluating Gase's performance with a discerning eye and his/the team's performance over the next two games could determine whether he remains the Jets head man. Here's what Mort had to say: “All the external noise you’ve heard from the media and fans about head coach Adam Gase has now gone internal. We heard players complain this week about the practice intensity and league sources sa…
