The chat was postponed this week, and the blog not updated this morning, due to a combination of being under the weather and my furnace crapping out during the coldest day of the year. Please feel sorry for me and accept my apologies.

I'll suck it up and do a radio show, primarily because the radio station's heat works.

Topics
The All Star Game and a new era of thinking big in Cincinnati.
Does the ridiculous cost of All Star tickets temper enthusiasm for the event?
Is anybody listening to John Calipari?
Has college football peaked?

One link for today: I liked this look at what baseball managers and umps say to each other during arguments.

Our radio show starts at 3:04 today, or after Bud Selig gets finished talking, on ESPN1530.
