Seven Mistakes By The Lake

December 16th, 2012.  Think of all that has changed in your life in the past 18 months.  My job has changed, my apartment has also changed, and incredibly even my favorite television show of all-time has changed.  Think of all that has changed around you.  LeBron James left Miami for Cleveland, Notre Dame made it to a BCS National Championship game, and Jimmy Fallon hosts The Tonight Show.  It really is staggering how much can happen and how much life can look completely different in just a year and a half.  And yet, it can look the same too.  Derrick Rose is still battling injury concerns, The Big Bang Theory is still the number one television show, and the Cleveland Browns are still trying to find a QB.

30 for 30 (Part Two)

In PART ONE, the King of Arguments got the ball rolling on the thirty things he wants to accomplish before he turns thirty.  Swimming in the Pacific Ocean, learning how to play the guitar, and running a half-marathon were just some of the items that made the list so far.  There's only one way to find out what's left.  

30 for 30 (Part One)

In this epic post, the King of Arguments lists the 30 things he hopes to accomplish before he turns the big 3-0.  They include some destination spots, a few sporting accomplishments, and exacting revenge on a personal vendetta.  It was a list that took quite some time to put together, and one that will take three years to finish.

KOA's 50 Favorite TV Shows: 45-41

Five shows in, forty-five more to go.  In this batch we find another Nickelodeon classic, a pair of comedic sketch-shows, a news program, and our first game-show.  Three of these shows have been on the air since 1975 and have combined to win a plethora of awards.  Let's keep the ball rolling boys and girls. 

An Ode To Kevin

The King of Arguments takes time from ranking his favorite television shows to acknowledge a man that goes by a lot of different names.  Some know him as Lil' Scooter.  Others are prone to call him Kev, or Hunt, or K-Hunt, or Coach, or Mr. Hunt, or Randy Junior. Whatever your preference, there's only one Kevin Hunt.  

KOA's 50 Television Shows: 50-46

Yes, it's not related to television, but it's still my favorite way to start out a brand new list.

As Lao-tzu so eloquently put it, "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

KOA's 50 Television Shows: An Introduction

By: Luke Florence

Last summer we went on an incredible, exhausting and revealing journey as I unveiled my favorite 100 movies of all-time.  This time around we are looking for more of the same, as I embark on an adventure to rank my 50 favorite television shows.

Laugh-out loud comedies, thought-provoking dramas, cash-winning game shows, and even an occasional cartoon will all make an appearance during these next three months.  The only question is in what order will they show up?

There's only one way to learn more details on this project and to see which shows just missed the cut.

Spring Cleaning V.III (Part Two)

By: Luke Florence

In the spring cleaning sequel, the King of Arguments discusses LeBron James, the controversy surrounding the Pacquiao vs. Bradley fight, and unveils a brand new list - this one of the musical variety.

Reading is FUNdamental boys and girls, so prepare to enjoy the hell out of this column.

Spring Cleaning V.III

By: Luke Florence

After an extended absence, the King of Arguments returns with a little spring cleaning.  The first part of his spring cleaning discusses the Chicago Bulls and Pittsburgh Penguins playoff exits, John Mayer's new album, and plans for the upcoming summer.

Yes it's been awhile, but the KOA is back in the saddle again (seriously, how many times have I said that?) and is on the search for redemption. 

Unlike I'll Have Another, let's giddy up.

A Sweet View of The Sweet Sixteen

By: Luke Florence

Certain March Madness memories will never escape me. It's almost as if they've become a part of me. I'll never forget Bryce Drew's miraculous shot, Christian Laettner's impossible game-winning 15-footer, or Tyus Edney going coast-to-coast to seal the deal. There's countless others. And yet, despite the numerous memories, it's always been at a distant. Sure having a bracket gives you a rooting interest in each and every game, but that's like having a nose-bleed seat at the Final Four. Yeah it's nice being there, but it's nothing like the experience you could get sitting court-side.

Thanks to John Groce, DJ Cooper and the rest of the Ohio Bobcats I finally have that elusive court-side ticket this season. It's been undeniably sweet ... pun fully intended.
