- I'm probably expecting too much out of NBC's deal with the Premier League, but seriously... I'm very excited for next season to start. Can't wait to see what type of coverage NBC will offer.

- People sure love to overreact. Also, Girls sucks.

- Goodbye Fox Soccer, hello NBC Universal? That sure would make Comcast customers happy.

- Well played, Stephen Colbert. Well played. [video]

- Zillow is stepping it up and showing homes in foreclosure before they are listed for sale. While most of you probably won't care about this one, I think it's a good move.

- Did you know that you can buy an iPad 3 for less than an iPad 2?

- If there were ever a reason to donate to charity, it's this. [video]

- Bob Brenly's leaving the Cubs for the Dbacks. I've seen him broadcast several games, and I must say, he has always annoyed me. Glad I won't have to hear him anymore.

You might notice that all of the data from the old Social page has been moved over here. This is because 000webhost randomly decided to unlock my account, so I was able to grab all of my data and move it over. I'm going to stick with Blogger at least for now, just so that a problem like this never happens again. It is very nice having all my old posts back, I will say that.

- Happy White Cane Safety Day!

- For those of you fearing the new Dane Cook show on NBC, fear no more! NBC canceled it before it even showed the pilot. I consider this proof that although those in charge at NBC are stupid, they aren't entirely brainless.

- You can use emoticons in Facebook comments now. I can see Cole, Nate, and Matt (OK fine, and myself) all going overboard with this.

- Minecraft update tomorrow!

And for your random article of the day, we have...

In case you haven't noticed, the entire Social aspect of Rezmanbrown has moved from WordPress to Blogger. The reason for this is because my former web host, 000webhost, held my WordPress site for ransom and would not give me my data unless I upgraded my account to Premium (meaning I'd have to pay $7/month). So instead of giving in, I said goodbye to all of my old Five Things data and moved back to Blogger. At least I can trust them.

Anyway, Five Things will be back tomorrow. Rejoice!

'12-2

An 11-0 win couldn't save the Sox, and their season is now over. Where was this offense two weeks ago?

So, it's time now to focus on the playoffs. There's only one spot remaining, and it's almost certainly going to the Cardinals. I like how people were excited about the new playoff system this year because it was supposed to make the postseason races more exciting. That sure didn't happen. Although, one positive I'm taking from the new system is that now the race for the AL East crown vs. Wild Card spot actually has meaning.

Anyway, now we just have to wait for the playoff positions to be set, and then it will be prediction time!

'12-1

It's most certainly stupid to debut a White Sox section of Social as the season comes to an end, but what the heck.

I'm not sure how often I'm going to make a post under the newly created Sox Talk category, but hopefully it will be often enough to warrant a separate section.

Anyway, how about the last few weeks of the season? You might be as sick as I am of hearing about the poor quality of play lately, so I'll just skip past that and say I'm expecting an even worse overall season next year. I think we overachieved for much of this year, and with expected departures from AJ and Peavy (among others, possibly), I don't see how we'll do better next year. Here's to hoping I'm proven wrong.

10/01/2012

- Apparently Get A Life is out on DVD!

- I had forgotten that Adele was doing the theme song for the new Bond movie. Anyway, it'll be released this Thursday evening.

- The 30, in which the White Sox sputtered and died. Also, no 100-win teams this year.
