Brad Pitt To Star In The Adaptation Of One Of My Favorite Books? Sweet!
Moneyball is one of the best books I've ever read, for a number of reasons. I grew up a nerdy sports fan. I love everything about profesisonal sports (except the revenue sources and advertising), particularly the statistical aspect of it. The online availability of fantasy sports has made statistics a huge part of a team/player's exposure to fans everywhere, and has arguably changed the way many look at sports.
I had to read Moneyball in one of my business management classes as a Temple student because one of my old codger professors insisted that it showed how to successfully run a business, and it incorporated sports (awesome!). For those of you who haven't read this NYT bestseller, it tells the story of Billy Beane, who as General Manager of the Oakland A's put together an awesome baseball team on a minimal budget, and did so year-in-year-out.

Mark Wahlberg Continues To Speak Out Against Comedic Send Up
Mark Wahlberg needs to take two of these and call me never:
DO YOU GUYS GET THAT?!?!?
As was reported this week, Wahlberg has his Red Sox panties in a bunch over Andy Samberg's impression of him on SNL two weeks ago. I thought it was the funniest thing ever. And I'm a little surprised a guy like Wahlberg, who seems mad chill (what?), would be the type of person who would cry over an SNL impression of him. But that seems to definitely be the case. Sick.
Here's Wahlberg on Kimmel last night pretty much threatening Andy Samberg's life. Whoa! Whoa! Marky! If you were gonna threaten to kill Samberg, why wouldn't it have been for that "Dick in a Box" thing or all that other stupid sh*t he's done? Like, there's 100's of things...

Mark Wahlberg Pictures & Video Greeting His Fans
Actor Mark Wahlberg was out in Hollywood promoting his new movie "Max Payne". Mark was at a tv show and arrived a little late so he told the fans that he would sign autographs later. After the taping Mark kept his word and came over to sign autographs for around 25 fans that had assembled. Mark said "I gotta make it fast I gotta get home to my babies". Even after saying that Mark made sure that all fans got an autograph or picture with him. Mark showed no "Fear" as he allowed many fans to get up close and personal. This was my first time meeting the man and I must say he is a really nice guy and treats his fans well. My all time favorite movie or Mark Wahlberg is Basketball Diaries also starring Leo Dicaprio....

Andy Samberg Does Mark Wahlberg Better Than Mark Wahlberg
Oh. Saturday Night Live might not be as great as it was at one time or another, but despite it’s downfalls, it always manages to uncover amazing fresh talent.
Andy Samberg is one of the brightest, most gifted comedians the show has seen in recent days. Of course I don’t want to take away from the many SNL greats of our time, but as far as young talent goes, this guy is an oyster with a myriads of pearls.
I’m a little late in posting this, but only because it slipped my mind - not because I forgot.
In this SNL skit, Andy channels Mark Wahlberg, in Barky Bark and the Donkey Bunch, a parody of the Funky Bunch frontman. And although Samberg looks nothing like...
