I’m thinking of starting a regular feature on THF, called “Bad Advice From the Internet”. The other I posted a ridiculous article about “What Women Wish Guys Knew” – a reminder that listening to advice found on the internet can easily have startlingly traumatic consequences. But let it never be said that [...]

I googled “Fantasy Football” with the safeties off, and a lot of really fun stuff came up on my work computer, but this one certainly takes the proverbial cake. Plus I won’t get fired for having it in my cache, not like the fifty-three other pictures of T&A that live there now.
Draft night came and [...]

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit it: July is the worst month for blog posting. There are vacations, work trips, and the kind of weather that makes you want to go outside. Not exactly prime “sit at the computer and think of junk to say” time.
But who wants to read posts apologizing for not [...]

Weeeellll, loyal readers of THF, it’s time to call a spade a spade.
The guys at assholes and mustaches have officially welched on our blog post bet, and unfortunately, we here at TellHimFred surrendered our thirty-day “take it easy on the welching shitheads” token a couple of bourbon shots ago.

Well, it looks like [...]

They will begin broadcasting on CBS and XM simultaneously starting on Wednesday, April 26th.
This morning, I turned on WBCN to see what they were broadcasting. What I heard was something very, very strange: it sounded like a 13-minute intro to the Opie and [...]

Wow!
It appears that one of my predictions is actually coming true. After speculating that Opie and Anthony were going to replace David Lee Roth one way or another, it seems that the best case scenario is coming true.
Rather than leaving XM satellite radio, the show will be rebroadcast on CBS stations in Roth’s markets.
I [...]

Yesterday was Patriot’s Day here in Massachusetts, so Kristina and I had the day off. Opie and Anthony were broadcasting from Bill’s Bar, so we got up early and went to see the live broadcast.
Live broadcasts can be very difficult. Especially when it is an 8:00 am broadcast from a small bar filled with drunks. [...]

Well, I was wrong.
It’s not the first time and it certainly won’t be the last.
A while back I thought that CBS Radio might have canned David Lee Roth when he went on a vaction. It was just a weird timing issue since it was right around the time that Roth’s dismal ratings came out. [...]
