This article explains very clearly why the overnight ratings system is crap. The reality shows are always higher-rated, but it doesn’t mean that they have more viewers. It means that they watch American Idol and DVR the scripted sitcom or drama. Because you have to watch the reality show live since all your friends and websites will provide all the spoilers the next morning. You can go 2 weeks without watching a sitcom and you can still not know what happened.
I wish TV executives would keep this in mind when they cancel more scripted television and replace it with more reality shows.

TBL had a great tweet yesterday — something like “Who cares if Tiger shot a 62 is some irrelevant tourmanemnt. Tell me when he does it in a major” — I’m paraphrasing.

It’s Sara Ganim of the Patriot-News, but OK.
Also, this is a good read about how antiquated the Neilsens are. CBS has 19 of the top 25 shows on television, and almost every one is a shitty police procedural or laugh track sitcom.

Considering NO ONE has ever shot a 62 in a major…oh, never mind, it’s pointless.
I thought his performance was very relevant — great field, strong leaderboard, very hard course (though if I heard “The Bear Trap” again I would have killed Johnny Miller) — classic TBL really. It almost prompted me to respond and I never do that.

The core demographic is much smaller than Modern Family. But that’s okay because advertisers love that demographic because teenagers spend their daddy’s money on lots of shit and they have zero idea what they want until they see it in an advertisement.

March 5th, 2012 at 8:49 AM
It would not. The show skewed 18-24 heavily in its prime years. Not a major diff, but a diff nonetheless. As far as I am concerned, if you are a parent of a 12 or 13 year old girl, and you are letting them watch GG, you are failing as a parent. It could not be less appropriate for girls that age.

March 5th, 2012 at 8:51 AM
I enjoyed TWD simply for the fact that Dale’s sorry ass is gone. Fuck that character and fuck that guy. He always had that woe is me attitude and holier than though way about him. Not to mention his facial expression was akin to one worn by a person who just say someone run over a box full of kittens.

March 5th, 2012 at 8:53 AM
I watched all the coverage of the Honda SAT-SUN. It was actually very entertaining, given the past few years it’s been a slog due to excessive wind, penal course set-up, etc. You had 3 major winners (Rory, Charl, Keegan), Tiger, Westwood all on the top of the leaderboard. And Gillis put on an all-time putting display. The Tiger eagle on 18 was profound and then Rory showed he has all the shots marching in.
Tiger isn’t back until he wins. He needs to put 4 rounds together. He gagged all over a short birdie put on THUR on 18. It’s those kind of errors that’s costing him. He can’t expect to comeback and win. His nature is to be a frontrunner. He’s won 6 times at Doral. So this will be a great test. Tiger, Phil & Rory all in the field this week.

Mainly this. I don’t have expectations of greatness, and the show is more interesting to me than most of the other crap on TV. Would I prefer to watch Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, or Mad Men? Sure. But I don’t know, I just enjoy TWD. I like the route Carl’s character is taking, as well as Darrell. I absolutely think they need more to happen in an episode, but I still feel they’ve done a solid job and I find the premise interesting.

As someone who works in Fiance in NYC, that article was seriously awful. I know guys that cried when they got their bonus numbers this year, but that article just makes the whole situation seem comical. And no, I don’t make anywhere near that kind of money right now.
March 5th, 2012 at 9:00 AM
The one guy interviewed, bitching about his $350,000 salary, was a marketing director. I can’t believe he didn’t consider that his plight might not engender a lot of empathy when he was interviewed for this article. He’s either naive or not a good marketing guy.
March 5th, 2012 at 9:00 AM
It sucks. Does everybody do it? Probably. Were the Saints stupid enough to get caught? Obviously. I don’t think they were “dirtier” than other teams I have watched. If they provided incentive, they needed to provide more. Because the only time the team EVER got consistent pressure on QBs was the 2009 playoffs.
I wish Gregg Williams would have provided bounties and incentives for Roman Harper to cover and tackle tight ends.

March 5th, 2012 at 9:00 AM
Definitely another “cost-saving” measure.
You kind of nailed the counter-argument right there. Of course the premise of a zombie apocalypse is interesting. But nothing happens in the episodes and they are just wasting time and drawing it out because they can’t spend the money. One zombie in last night’s episode. One. And if you didn’t groan when Carl fell over and dropped his gun when that zombie lurched at him, I’ve lost some respect for you.

Oh I absolutely did. It was so fucking dumb. But to be fair, he is what? 11 years old? And holding a loaded gun and getting really close to a zombie each for pretty much the first time in his life?
Totally agree that there’s too much wasted time for entertainment purposes, but then again, that’s kind of the point right now I guess. Their best chance for survival is to pull the exact boring bullshit with occasional lapses like they currently do on the farm. So while it makes the show more boring than it could be, it actually makes a lot of sense.
/that said, what doesn’t make sense is how a fucking zombie can sneak up on someone in the middle of an open field. That was just blatant retardation and truly pissed me off.

A top end daycare in the Midwest can cost half-that so if that’s one for a private school in a densely populated East Coast area, I can almost make sense of that. If it ties into a top school that could be a de facto waiting list as well.
March 5th, 2012 at 9:08 AM
One other thing: I’m more pissed off that Brees was franchised than I am about the bounty program.
Now we lose Carl Nicks and there’s no guarantee that we keep Colston. We needed that franchise tag for Nicks. The Saints may have a steep decline next year, which may be compounded by losing our first already for Mark Ingram, and the likelihood that we’ll lose our second as punishment.

The 6/51 for McCutchen is going to be an absolute bargain. Not as much as Longoria or Matt Moore’s deal, but still. Good job Pirates.
This — it’s exciting to see a financial committment to the face of the team. Worse comes to worse he wants out and he would fetch a ton of interest with a trade. Lets go bucs!

Blowing money on daycare isnt a terrible expense. Realistically, your children’s education should be the priority after your necessities (food, shelter, clothing). Wouldn’t it be better to spend that on your kids daycare and drive a used piece of crap car, or better to lesae an overpriced SUV and leave your kids w/ some lady who sits them in front of a TV all day?
Your kids education and developmental patterns are highly impacted by their pre-K education (i.e. daycare). So by scrimping on daycare you’re really just setting your kids back.

Just let me say, chicago, I am railing more against the show than you do definitely not trying to pile on you. BUT Carl has been living in zombie world for months now, he’s encountered many zombies close up. AND he has taken part in the gun training with the group. He was taught gun safety and how to shoot so I don’t buy what you just said. They simply put in what they thought was a clever twist that the zombie derps away killing kills Dale, when in reality it was fucking stupid.

Completely agree on this. Both my kids went to a really great daycare/pre-K school. My younger one even did his KG there due to schools moving to half day KG. He was fascinated by, and learned all 44 presidents by name number and face by the time he was 5. He had a fantastic teacher who developed him really well.

I do. I have a 4 year old and 2.5 year old. We pay about $22.5k in daycare. Our plan is to send kids to public schools for 2-3 years, use all the daycare $$$ to payoff house, then send kids to private schools. It hurts. We coupon and don’t have cable.

Daycare alone costs my wife and I about $1k/month for our kid
Well the $30k for pre-school doesn’t even include the full time nanny he employs for at least $750 a week. Can’t really let her go when he and his wife work til 7-8 almost every night. I get why people pay that, but I could never do it. I’d rather move to the burbs and pay the high taxes for the good free schools.

No problem man, I didn’t think you were piling on.
I was actually thinking Carl didn’t take part in the gun training… Did I completely misremember that? If so, then I completely change my opinion of that situation, and that would be pretty terrible writing. They were obviously looking for an excuse to make Carl all scarred and shit because he helped Dale get killed (which begs the question- how did the Zombie ultimately get onto the farm anyway? wouldn’t he have just gotten stuck in the mud again? I thought that was the whole point of the safety of the farm?) Anyway, I just thought for some reason that Carl’s parents stupidly didn’t let him do the gun practice.
March 5th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
I don’t think you’re going to find someone who says “get your kids the cheapest care/education possible.” There’s not really an argument being had here, just people pointing out that having kids is fucking expensive. And that there’s a bunch of really wealthy people in New York who over do pretty much everything.

I enjoy the Videogum recaps. I have no idea what Videogum is otherwise, but whoever reviews it does a fine job of lambasting it. It usually gets posted Monday afternoon.
Last night’s show was so fucking stupid on several levels. Most of which was Carl getting so much airtime. Fuck that kid.
You know how stupid this show is? It goes all the way to the marketing department which mistakenly leaked that you should buy Season 2 on DVD to see Shane’s final episode.

I think my place may do that too. If it really does double I think we could have some one come to our house and look after the kids. That said, I think daycare does a better job then most people working out of their houses. Plus there’s safety considerations and what not.

A good friend of mine’s wife seriously considered this since it was almost more costly for her to work (including commuting etc.). She decided to go back because her profession is not easy to back into once you leave for a few years, and it would not be cost efficient to be home when the kid goes to school in a few years.

Yes you did. He took part. In fact they wasted at least 20 minutes of an episode debating it. They also showed him getting the hang of it really quick so no excuse for his derpness.
One thing I did enjoy was the prisoner telling Carl that he and his parents could come live with his group. It shows that this guy of course is going to be loyal to the people he grouped up with and not this group of idiots that have bound him and then tried to let him go then bound him again, then held him prisoner, then decided to shoot him and then didn’t shoot him.
March 5th, 2012 at 9:35 AM
We’ll give it a hard look when we have a kid. Even if one worked a part-time gig from home and pulled in $25K a year, it almost evens out when when you factor in the commute, stress, lunches out, extra hours, and other bullshit that comes with a full time job in 2012.
The only downside is getting back into the field when the kid heads to pre-school. Tough to roll the dice in this economy.

Right. Given some competitive job fields, this is career sabatoge. Then you have to account for impact on your retirement accounts, etc. You can also get the wife who gets the taste of stay-at-home mom and wants to drag her feet about getting back to work. So when your kids are in school, you’re still working 2 jobs and your wife’s crushing chardonnay after soccer practice and checking blogs for the best birthday party themes. No thanks.

yeah, it’s surprising that material is even finalized at this point since the next season won’t be starting until October and the dvd won’t be out until september.
on a side note, of all the comic story lines they really need to keep as it was in the books: Shane’s Demise, the Governor, Rick’s encounter with the Governor and the prison.
anything beyond that can change for all i care, those 4 events really made the story of the comic unique and set it right.

I hope Randall fucks their whole crew up, kills Carl, Lori, and Shane, T-Dog, and that shaved head gray haired whiny chick, and then gets murked by Darrell, and then season 3 is just Rick and Darrell killing zombies and humans all day long as they take over the world.

This is especially true if you have almost no interaction with other adults. You just want 10 minutes of being able to talk to someone with the ability of communicating with words instead of crying and grunting.
There are studies now that say it’s better to be a stay-at-home parent when your child is older (junior high age, for example). Keeps them from making bad decisions.

He’s shown big game all year. Johnly Miller hit it on the head, his iron game still needs some variety – he only has a full throttle high shot, no low shots or 3/4 shots. But his grit and focus are Raymond Floyd-esque.
Wake me when Tiger puts it together for 4 rounds. Yeah he putted great yesterday but on Thursday he putted like a blind kid at a putt putt course. And anything outside of winning at Augusta won’t validate shit. Even w/ all the drama he’s been no worse than 6th there for 6 straight years.
He needs to putt and drive for 4 days. Hasnt been able to do it for 2-3 years now. He goes out of his way to find excuses to hit 3W of the tee when the young guns are creating more birdie opportunities w/ their drivers.

they’re not going to be good next year…get some talent and hope the cards fall right and you can get barkley next year.
“franchise QB” only means something when they’re peyton or big ben and can deal with the pressure of having a shit OL and i don’t see RGIII as a guy who can do that. so, in the meantime, get the roster filled with young players that can ingrain themselves in the system until the team is ready for a QB to come in and put it all together.

No, Cleveland could beat it by offering #4 this year and their #1 next year + stuff. St. Louis is in a good spot (but not a great spot), because if they don’t trade the pick, then they won’t take Griffin. And everyone knows that.
Unlike last year, where Atlanta had to be pretty confident if they didn’t meet Cleveland’s price, then Cleveland would just take Julio Jones.

I know you’ve been consistent with this line of thinking, but I still don’t get it. You don’t pass up on a stud QB just because you suck in other places. You have to get the QB before you get anything else.

Dan LeBatard is consistently the most intelligent sports columnist there is. The business of writing and talking about sports has been reduced to harbor as much rationality as you’d find in a witchcraft and vudu convention.
I believe a network that rises up to cater to intelligent people has a ready-made niche that will make it at least relevant. NBC Sports is clearly just more of the same mass stupidity and results based analysis that you can easily get from a panel of Wilbon, Barry, Magic and the Chris Broussard.

No kids yet but we have talked about day care or one of us staying home longer to avoid the cost of day care which is awful here outside Philly. it almost makes you not want to have any kids unless you have a few extra thousand to spend every month for day care.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:02 AM
Look at what it takes to win in the league w/out a top-10 QB. It takes the best defense in the league. Now which is harder? Landing the QB or drafting/signing enough pieces to have the best D in the league? If RGIII is as good as most think he is, you absolutely take him instead of drafting a combination of the second best LT, Blackmon and a decent LB at 24.

At least she is a looker unlike that horseface Skylar White.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:05 AM
you don’t get a top 10 QB with the talent the browns have on offense. it’s just not possible.
you say the browns will suck without a top flight QB…fine. we’ve had a decade of losing, what’s one more year? we’ll have a chance to get another QB who’d come into a better situation next draft. patience brother.

another walking dead thing that’s been bothering me…
while they’re looking for the girl who was already zombie-fied in the woods, they came across a bunch of campsites, and then last night randall mc-rapeyson talked about “coming across a campsite” with a dad and two daughters… WHY would you be camping outside in a zombie apocalypse… why wouldn’t you be locked away in some house at night. They can’t open doors, can they?
March 5th, 2012 at 10:06 AM
I don’t. If you ever resent the thought of your kid you did something terribly wrong in the parenting process or you are the most selfish person on the planet and you should have given the child up for adoption. I understand being freaked out during the pregnancy, but after the child arrives you need to check yourself and man the fuck up.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
Shouldn’t resent the child for the fact that you were too stupid to not have an abortion, but I get what you mean.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:07 AM
A great QB makes every single player better, right?
So you’re just sure that you’ll get Barkley, huh? That seems like a terrible strategy to me.

March 5th, 2012 at 10:10 AM
Exactly. I bet his producer made sure to skip the daycares that are great with kids because that doesn’t spark a response. Having said that, I’m sure there are terrible daycares all around the country and that is a frightening thought as a new parent.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
they don’t make players that aren’t nfl starter caliber better, and that’s the problem. what good is a QB that makes D talent play at a C level?
im not sure, but, conversely, it seems like a terrible strategy to draft a QB and have him get killed and then have to start over again. PATIENCE. and hell, look at the 9ers and ravens…they got to their conf champ games with alex smith and joe flacco, both 1st round picks who had their moments but would be MUCH less successful without the talent they have around them on offense. browns don’t have those players.

You cant pass on RG3, you cant. I understand all the holes the Browns have but you cant let a guy like him go because of it. If you have to, let McCoy start another year if you are that worried about his weapons. Theres nothing wrong with letting your rookie QB sit for a year.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Spencer: You can’t wait forever. If you don’t go QB this year, it’ll be Joe Thomas’s year 7 before he has an elite talent to protect. How much longer does he have?

March 5th, 2012 at 10:16 AM
Murray is too short to be a top prospect. I think he can be good in the NFL, but no one is taking him in the first round. If Geno Smith is the third QB in the draft next year (because I would think Wilson would be No. 2) someone is going to get a king’s ransom for Barkley if they don’t need a QB. Imagine CLE getting RGIII, winning only 2 games with him and getting to sell off the Barkley pick for 2 No. 1s and a third and fifth?
March 5th, 2012 at 10:17 AM
The biggest problem is money. As costs outpace salary growth, it becomes more and more difficult to find quality day care without sitting on a waiting list for years or paying out the ass. So middle-class people, for reasons both fiscal and logistical, choose more affordable, “shitter” day cares.
Also, daycares are well aware of how in-demand their services are and frequently skimp on quality staff to make as much money as possible.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:17 AM
My wife stayed home with all 4 kids. Well worth the financial struggles and she loves being a mom. Could not stomach the thought of my kids being raised by some mouth breathing teens at a daycare facility, or privately by someone you don’t know and getting tortured in some way that will rear it ugly head later on. Never good for kids to be away from their parents for 12 hours a day, and see them for 1 or 2.
4th kid is now in pre-school so she is back to working PT. Will be FT in a year or two. Can’t wait!

March 5th, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Not just his weapons. It’s about a shitty o-line. It’s about a defense that will constantly be putting you in difficult positions. The degree of difficulty will be incredible.
I don’t know if trading for the ability to draft RG3 is a good idea or not. But when you have so many holes to fill having two first round picks is a big deal.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:18 AM

March 5th, 2012 at 10:19 AM
every highly drafted QB’s pro bowl caliber until they actually play a game.
OT’s can play pretty long, esp considering he hasn’t missed a game in his career and the fact the current NFL environment, LT’s are often dancing with pass rushers more than they’re slamming into run stuffing DE’s.
but you should know exactly what im getting at with my train of thought…would dalton have been shit without AJ and a strong running game? FUCK NO.

March 5th, 2012 at 10:20 AM
But when you have so many holes to fill having two first round picks is a big deal.
that’s an even bigger deal if you’re already committed to a (questionable) QB like the Rams are. That’s why they want those picks.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:21 AM

March 5th, 2012 at 10:21 AM
now that’s a scenario i’d like…but it’s even more of a longshot than the browns sucking without RGIII. id much rather take claiborne, coples, blackmon or reiff at 4 and hope to get floyd or a LB at 22, suck, and then trade a king’s ransom for barkley.

The Browns are too far away from contention to be thinking QB. That team has holes everywhere.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:23 AM
No, but we didn’t spend a #4 on him. I was definitely surprised by his play this year.
I don’t think he would have gotten killed playing behind a bad line. He seems smart and gets rid of the ball. Same reason I don’t expect Griffin to get killed behind a bad line.
Maybe Greg Little and Evan Moore would be pretty capable receivers/TEs if they had a decent QB.

March 5th, 2012 at 10:23 AM
You know I’m driving the Team Barkley train, but I’m not sure if that makes sense as they won’t have the No. 24 pick next year to deal, so they will most likely have to give up two early round No. 1s as opposed to one early round and one back(ish) end No. 1.
March 5th, 2012 at 10:25 AM
Why are we assuming the Browns aren’t in contention for the number one pick next year based on shittiness alone? Do they not have a first rounder?

I would agree with this 100%. Parents talk about their kids with other people way too much for my taste, but I suspect that as they grow up and you see them becoming a real person, it’s hard to not talk about them as they are your focal point for the rest of your life.

So did Carolina last year. So do the Colts this year; think of the bounty the Colts could get for that pick. For a good QB I’d be inclined to agree, but for a franchise changing QB, if you have the opportunity to take him I think you have to. I hope Cleveland doesn’t think that of RGIII though because fuck Cleveland

Now that the commitment to money is different to top picks they may be more patient. A year can work out, nothing more than that. On top of that the kid can run and throw the ball a mile. Two things Colt cant do, that could help his line if they dont need to protect as long
