There's only one way to describe Ringo Starr's 1972 hit, "Back Off Boogaloo". Bizarre.
I mean, the man was out there with this one. A Frankenstein monster clearly gender-confused making a play for Ringo? Uh, hello, MCFLY! I can see Ringo playing along with this in the video, but the concept had to be the result of a three day bender or a drug induced coma, or both. If Ringo had any more facial hair, he could pass for the Wolf Man, y'dig?

Musical Interlude: Jeopardy (1983)
Greg Kihn's last top 40 hit came in 1983 with "Jeopardy". Not to be confused with a certain game show, although "Weird" Al Yankovic did something about that a year or two later, but this was Kihn's only "solo" record, as there was no more Greg Kihn Band. The spooky stuff comes near the end with a monster emerging partially through the floor of the church. That would be the stuff that "B' movies are made of, even today.
Football this 'n' that, and some baseball, too
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones should be enjoying a heaping helping of crow right about now.
Before the season began, Jones invited Cowboys fans to see their beloved team beat the defending Super Bowl champion NY Giants, and it was assumed that he'd open up the Temple of Excess, aka Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, so folks could watch the Sept. 5 season opener, which Dallas won. In truth, Jones was pointing to the rematch in Arlington, which took place yesterday.
Since losing opening night at the Meadowlands, the Giants had gone 5-1 to move into first place in the NFC East. Dallas, with 10 days off after the opener, lost to Seattle in their 2nd game, and have been, well, mediocre ever since. In the first quarter and a half on Sunday, they looked positively awful, as Big Blue raced to a 23-0 lead. Dallas sliced it to 23-10 at halftime, and came all the way back to take a 24-23 lead in the 4th quarter. The Giants had taken their collective foot off the throat, and it cost them dearly.
However, back come the Giants, with 2 late field goals, and they sweated out an apparent game-winning touchdown pass from Tony Romo to Dez Bryant, which was later ruled incomplete, as Bryant landed with his left hand out of bounds, to run their winning streak to 4 in a row, extending their lead in the division to 2 1/2 games.
Meanwhile, the Jets looked flatter than a stack of stale pancakes, as Miami earned a split of their season series, beating Gang Green 30-9 at the Meadowlands. At least the Dolphins kept the pressure on all day, as they were never threatened. The fans and the media are still calling for Rex Ryan to make a change at QB, from Mark Sanchez to Tim Tebow, but the defiant Ryan may be writing his ticket out of town sooner than he'd like by sticking with Sanchez, the 4th year signal caller out of USC, claiming Sanchez gives the Jets the best chance to win. With New England threatening to run away and hide in the AFC East again, the time for change is now.
On the other hand, Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid is a little more receptive to the prospect of changing QB's, after the other Gang Green lost again, 30-17, to unbeaten Atlanta. Michael Vick, we might as well admit, may not be the elite quarterback he was before going to prison, and may never be again, but at least Reid is willing to admit that he's open to making a change for the good of the team.
I'm sure you've heard by now that Denver QB Peyton Manning, who doesn't know how to make unannoying commercials, has bought nearly 2 dozen Papa John's Pizza locations. This on top of upstaging Papa John himself in one of those annoying ads that won't go away. What is it with an anti-telegenic guy like Manning and commercials? The ads he did for MasterCard were just lame, and it seems that all of a sudden, DirecTV has put aside the bits he did with Deion Sanders, probably because Peyton discovered that brother Eli actually makes him look bad in front of the cameras.
Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants, who won their 2nd World Series in 3 years Sunday in Detroit. For the Tigers, it was a bad case of deja vu. 6 years ago, they had a week's layoff before the Series vs. St. Louis, and were promptly dismissed. After sweeping out the Yankees in the ALCS, the Tigers again had a week's rest, and it cost them. They caught the Yankees' offensive disease. Their best pitcher, Justin Verlander, was rocked in game 1, and the Tigers never recovered.
As a nod to the Tri-City Valleycats, Giants right fielder Hunter Pence became the first alumni of the Astros' farm team to win a World Series title. Playing for his 3rd team in 2 seasons after being traded from Philadelphia in July, Pence became a media sensation with his pre-game ritual in the dugout. Like, who'dathunk? Of course, we should also note that there were two ex-Mets on the Giants' roster, too. Angel Pagan, we all know, was traded last offseason, but as noted before, NLCS MVP Marco Scutaro started his career in 2002 with the Amazin's. Since the Giants were gracious enough to bring the World Series trophy to Troy last year, there's no reason for them to do it again, but there are Giants fans in town that probably wouldn't mind.......
I cannot figure out oddsmakers. Atlanta was a home underdog against Philadelphia. On Saturday night, Notre Dame was a substantial road dog vs. Oklahoma. Both teams remained unbeaten, and you'd have been a fool not to have bet on them. I looked at the lines in the newspapers, and I'm, like, are these guys idiots, or what? Like, even Yogi Bear would've known better.

Sounds of Praise: Praise You in This Storm (2005)
In a bizarre way, this would seem appropriate with Hurricane Sandy about to touch down on the East Coast.
The gospel group Casting Crowns released "Praise You in This Storm" a few years back, and at the time it was getting pretty heavy airplay on Music Choice's Contemporary Christian channel on cable. With a very real storm headed to the mainland, it's comforting to know that God will protect us from harm.

Dunce Cap Award: Stephen A. Smith
Stephen A. Smith, a purported "NBA insider" for ESPN, is one of the most annoying personalities on the network's talent roster. Every time he appeared during SportsCenter to talk pro hoops, all he did was talk on his favorite subjects, namely, superstar players Kobe Bryant & LeBron James. Whooop-de-freakin'-do. He made it sound like he was close friends with both players. He was hip, alright. Hip to be square, or, as they used to say on Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids, he was NC. No Class.
Smith's been roiled by fellow media types, and was named "Dweeb of the Week" by NY Daily News sports media columnist Bob Raissman in today's edition, for dropping an N-bomb, if you will, during First Take the other day, then denying it, even though it was on tape, and was censored out of rebroadcasts. Smith also had the lack of brains to invent a nonsensical word, "fastily", in a vain, lame attempt to explain himself. I believe he meant to say, "hastily", but the bottom line is that Smith tried to avoid accepting responsibility for a mere slip of the tongue. Apparently, his ego believes he's above reproach.
Smith is on his 2nd tour of duty with ESPN, and if memory serves, his motor mouth got him in trouble the first time, too, costing him a talk show gig on the channel. The sad part about it all is that Smith is trying to talk street on national television, when most of the audience probably doesn't get it. It's one thing when rappers put N-bombs in their lyrics, and when African-American citizens use the N-bomb in common speech. It's another when you're a journalist on a major cable network, owned & operated by Disney, I might add, and you've suffered a case of brain cramping so early in the morning on a live broadcast, leading to you using an N-bomb on the air.
In case you wonder, Tom Hanks dropped an accidental F-bomb on the Today Show earlier in the week, whilst promoting his new film, "Cloud Atlas", and promptly apologized. It's the lack of apology that gets Stephen A. Smith a Dunce Cap. Apologies & responsibility apparently are foreign concepts to a mouth that doesn't know when to stop running.

Classic TV: Bosom Buddies (1980)
Before he won his 2 Academy Awards in the mid-90's (for "Forrest Gump" & "Philadelphia"), Tom Hanks starred in a silly little comedy that owes some of its origins to the wacky feature film, "Some Like it Hot".
Bosom Buddies centered on a pair of ad agency guys (Hanks & Peter Scolari) who are homeless after their apartment building is demolished. A co-worker (Wendi Jo Sperber) gets them into an all-female apartment complex, but of course there is that one condition. They have to dress in drag. For 2 seasons, it somehow worked.
Singer Telma Hopkins, formerly of Tony Orlando & Dawn, landed one of her first acting jobs as a member of the ensemble. Co-producer Thomas Miller would cast her in a later series, Family Matters, a few years later. Hanks & Scolari would reunite doing voice work on the 2005 animated feature, "The Polar Express".
Squaresyourtrue uploaded the open & close, complete with the Paramount logo of the period. The title song is Billy Joel's "My Life", covered by an anonymous studio singer, though I could swear they actually used the original version at one point.
I think the only reason I watched this at home was because it came on after Mork & Mindy, or it was because Buck Rogers was a rerun......
Rating: B.

Major League Baseball's winners & losers of 2012
The postseason awards won't be officially handed out for at least another week or two, but it wouldn't hurt to guess who could get what.
AL Cy Young Award: Jared Weaver, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. So what if the Halos didn't get into the postseason despite acquiring C. J. Wilson from division rival Texas and all-world slugger Albert Pujols from St. Louis? Weaver was the closest they had to a sure thing on the hill every 5 days for most of the season. If only he had some support, Wilson aside, in the rotation.......!
AL MVP: Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers. He won the Triple Crown, becoming the first player in 45 years to accomplish the feat, and yet a lot of wags want to hand the MVP to Mike Trout of the Angels. Cabrera led the offensive charge that put the Tigers in the World Series, overtaking Chicago to win the Central Division. Enough said.
AL Rookie of the Year: Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. This wasn't even close. In fact, I can't think of anyone else that would've been in shouting distance.
AL Manager of the Year: Buck Showalter, Baltimore Orioles. Hired during the 2011 season, Showalter continued the job he started and got the Birds within an eyelash of the Eastern Division title, snagging one of the two Wild Cards in the process, only to lose to division rival New York, his first employer as a manager, mind you, in the ALDS. The Orioles, of course, in order to get to the ALDS, eliminated two-time defending AL champion Texas, which was a feat unto itself. As long as management doesn't screw up, and since owner Peter Angelos is a George Steinbrenner wannabe, it's almost certain he will, Baltimore will contend for a while.
NL Cy Young Award: R. A. Dickey, New York Mets. Of course, I'm being a bit biased here. A knuckleball pitcher has never won the Cy Young, and Dickey had a season for the ages, winning 20 games and leading the league in complete games, among other games. Never mind that the Mets imploded right after the All-Star break. I'm still trying to figure that one out, but Dickey was their most consistent starter. The Mets will reward him with a new deal. They have to.
NL MVP: Adam LaRoche, Washington Nationals. LaRoche, son of former pitcher Dave LaRoche, proved that even a veteran can have a breakout season deep into his career. LaRoche first came up with Atlanta at the end of their dynasty, and has bounced around since, including an all-too-brief stop in Boston a couple of years back. It was LaRoche, not Bryce Harper or Jayson Werth, who carried the Nats on his back, leading the team in homers. If he doesn't get this, there should be an investigation.
NL Rookie of the Year: Wade Miley, Arizona Diamondbacks. Bryce Harper got all the hype and the headlines, but had also suffered from bouts of immaturity. Never mind that the D-Backs fell out of contention during the summer. Miley was to Arizona what R. A. Dickey was to the Mets, their most consistent performer in the rotation, and he will be a key cog in the Arizona rotation for a while to come.
NL Manager of the Year: Davey Johnson, Washington Nationals. Like his counterpart across the Potomac, Buck Showalter, Johnson took the Nationals from the outhouse to the penthouse, winning the East rather handily, ending Philadelphia's 5 year run. There are parallels to his early years with the Mets in the 80's. A mix of veterans (Werth, LaRoche, Ryan Zimmerman) and rising young stars (Harper, Ian Desmond, Stephen Strasburg) coming together at just the right time. Johnson & GM Mike Rizzo will still be castigated in the media for ending Strasburg's season a wee bit early in the name of future health, but in the long run, they may actually be right.
And, then, there are the losers, who only wound up with fool's gold.
Boston Red Sox: Ok, they got rid of Bobby Valentine after 1 season, and some say they shouldn't have hired him in the first place. They wanted Valentine for the rivalry with the Yankees, more than anything, and the media exposure he'd get in the larger markets. However, Valentine's style is so last century. Trading for former pitching coach John Farrell, who spent the last two years in Toronto as their manager, to fill the void, is a risk, but Farrell isn't the long term answer.
Miami Marlins: Jeff Loria spent all that money like it was water out of a faucet, and at the end, Miami sank like a stone. Ozzie Guillen's gone, and good luck finding someone to repair the damage done. Loria should've paid closer attention to the fact that it took the Heat two years to win a title with their all-star team instead of one. The Philadelphia Eagles are still trying to find the right formula. The tabloid media in NYC tried to suggest trading for Alex Rodriguez, a Miami native, getting him from the Yankees, but even with the Bombers footing most of the bill anyway, it's throwing more bad money on top of bad money. Here's a better idea. Sell the team to someone who knows what they're doing.
New York Yankees: Yes, they won the AL East---again---but their bats were MIA in the playoffs, and it didn't help that they were psychologically crushed when Derek Jeter went down in Game 1 vs. Detroit with a broken ankle. "A-Rod" being a distraction didn't help, either. How could they take their collective foot off the gas pedal? Easy. They took it for granted they'd persevere and reach the Series. Such thinking really doesn't work anymore. Here's a thought. Instead of W. B. Mason sponsoring some of their programming on YES next season, they should sign a deal with Geritol.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim: So owner Artie Moreno emptied his expense account to acquire Albert Pujols & C. J. Wilson, and what happens? The Angels open the season in the AL West basement. No one thought to foresee Oakland having a better season than anyone thought, leaving the Halos to finish in 3rd. What does this tell us? Money doesn't always equal championships, and the fact remains that owners are the last ones to realize it. Especially when it's too late.
AL Cy Young Award: Jared Weaver, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. So what if the Halos didn't get into the postseason despite acquiring C. J. Wilson from division rival Texas and all-world slugger Albert Pujols from St. Louis? Weaver was the closest they had to a sure thing on the hill every 5 days for most of the season.
