Hey Fredders. Long time no see.  I was reading email today, when an article title caught my eye: “21 Things Women Wish Men Knew”, on some MSN page or another.  I remember thinking as I clicked the link “maybe this is important information I and all of my male friends should have!  Perhaps I will [...]

So T.O. is now in the AFC East…as a Buffalo Bill. Say it with me: Terrell Owens is now a wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills. You can’t make this stuff up. Terrell Owens, the most “you-don’t-throw-da-ball-to-me-enough”, complainy-pants receiver in the NFL is now getting passes thrown to him by Trent Edwards. Or maybe J.P. [...]

Comcast! OK, OK, I’ll admit it: writing about how much Comcast sucks is a played-out, hackneyed theme, and using a lolcats meme to usher it in is really fucking dumb, but it’s my soapbox.

Speaking of free tickets, a [...]

1. The temperature is 76 degrees, with low relative humidity. Basically, this is perfect weather for humans. I don’t care who you are, 76 and not muggy is bliss.
2. Currently, 3 players on the Boston Red Sox are hitting above .400. Those three guys lead the AL in hitting. The Sox lead the league in [...]

There’s a lot to say about last night’s Super Bowl. Brady was apparently more hurt than we thought (Barry and I called BS on the ankle the second it hit the news, we were wrong). The unbelievable Offensive Line of the Pats got their asses handed to them. Belichick went for it [...]

That’s right, loyal reader(s), tellhimfred.com is still on the air. After recovering successfully from the AFC Championship game, Jimmy and Barry, along with the rest of the crew, Cutty and Prime (plus Mrs. Prime!) took a first place victory in bar trivia Tuesday, notable for no other reason than it nets us more free beer.
