"Friends" is already on its Season 7 DVD, and "Seinfeld" just got on the boat.

The Kansas concert at the Centennial Terrace was overwhelmingly disappointing. The lead singer, Robby Steinhardt, didn't sound like the guy that sang 25 years ago. He sounded more like Axl Rose, although I did dig his fiddlin'.

The Danger Brothers, who played at the Terrace the very next night, might have been a better concert. I wouldn't know, since I was hangin' with Mark from 94.5 outside the venue, as he was doing his live show from there. However, from what I did hear, the Danger Brothers played with a lot of energy and seemed to have the crowd dancing and in better spirits. They don't have any of their own songs—they played everything from "Johnny B. Goode" to "Fight For Your Right"—but if you play it well, then who cares if you're just a classic rock cover band?

Greg Maddux showed everyone he is a good pitcher today, earning his 300th career victory against the Giants. Starting against him was Brad Hennessey, a Toledo native and a graduate of Whitmer HS. Um ... cool?

Rick James died. No one knows why, but nobody's really surprised.

President Bush addressing the Pentagon: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." Does the man want to get re-elected or not? Of course he does. And these are just the kind of quotes that will help him win re-election. (I will write a column about why sometime in September.)

John Kerry hasn't had many embarrassing quotes (save that of the mention of Buckeye football in Michigan), but that's because he doesn't say many things without looking at the polls first.

Ralph Nader hasn't had any quotes, because nobody's listening to him.

I always wanted to see Tom Sizemore play the role of Pete Rose. Favorite Sizemore memory: Snake Dupree in "Big Trouble."

IMDB always shows me something new and fascinating. "The Untitled Onion Movie," scheduled for release in December, will be a sketch comedy movie from the writers of "The Onion." I'm nervous as hell to think that this will suck, since I don't know how good a feature film could be. Print comedy doesn't always translate well to visual comedy. However, whatever I say won't stop the movie from being made, so it's best to remain optimistic, and hopefully this movie will be what crowns "The Onion" as the decisive king of comedy in the United States. The amount of people unaware of its existence is rather alarming.

The Hilton sisters were burgled. If the saying "You are what you own" rings true, then the robber made off with nothing of value. Also, "burgled" is one of the best crime-related words. It's right up there with "pander" when talking about words that sound made up.

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" has a Lord Voldemort finally casted, and that man is Ralph "Don't you Fucking Pronounce that 'L'" Fiennes. He looks scary. Works for me.

I feel better.
