Gettin' Iggy Wit' It: My Hypothetical 2014 MLB Hall of Fame Ballot
http://iggyyoda.blogspot.com/2014/01/my-hypothetical-2014-mlb-hall-of-fame.html
Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Monday, January 6, 2014. My Hypothetical 2014 MLB Hall of Fame Ballot. Results for this year's round of Major League Baseball Hall of Fame balloting. The remaining two players whom I would add are Moises Alou and Luis Gonzalez. Moises Alou falls behind Luis Gonzalez in most major statistical categories (the major exception is batting average), and in the end it makes him a much more marginally electable candidate&#...

Gettin' Iggy Wit' It: April 2014
http://iggyyoda.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Wednesday, April 9, 2014. I had never really heard of Brendan Eich until this past week or two. Well, I might have heard of him before, but I don't remember it, and I wouldn't have generally known who he is until the past week or two. Eich has, though, been in the news the past couple of weeks in conjunction with his resignation as CEO of Mozilla. Which depicts elements of the trial that overturned Proposition 8 af...

Gettin' Iggy Wit' It: Goodbye, College Football
http://iggyyoda.blogspot.com/2012/08/goodbye-college-football.html
Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Thursday, August 30, 2012. Goodbye, College Football. Tonight, the 2012 college football season gets underway, and in past years I would have been very excited, ready to start another fall of having the sport in the background each Saturday, each Thursday night, and sometimes on other evenings as I worked. I feel that excitement again this year; however, I won't be watching. After voicing concerns when administrato...

Gettin' Iggy Wit' It: My Hypothetical 2013 MLB Hall of Fame Ballot
http://iggyyoda.blogspot.com/2013/01/my-hypothetical-2013-mlb-hall-of-fame.html
Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Tuesday, January 8, 2013. My Hypothetical 2013 MLB Hall of Fame Ballot. And Jim Caple has discussed more specifically and fully. So, to begin, let's revisit the ballot from a year ago. Last year. Of those names, Larkin was elected last year, while Juan Gonzalez and Ruben Sierra failed to garner at least five percent of the vote on last year's ballot. Perhaps you may have already noticed that despite the fact that I...

Gettin' Iggy Wit' It: I’d Rather A&E Hadn’t Ducked the Issue
http://iggyyoda.blogspot.com/2013/12/id-rather-hadnt-ducked-issue.html
Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Thursday, December 19, 2013. I’d Rather A&E Hadn’t Ducked the Issue. So, in the last couple of days we’ve witnessed arguments from various sides after the suspension of Phil Robertson from the A&E television show Duck Dynasty. Set of remarks he made about sexuality. And, by the way, let’s not forget. The deeply problematic things Robertson said in regard to race. I don’t regularly watch Duck Dynasty. Still, he can ...

Gettin' Iggy Wit' It: July 2013
http://iggyyoda.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Friday, July 12, 2013. Three years ago, I started watching the television show. Before that I had seen part of an episode or two, at most, and what I had seen did not interest me. In 2010, though, I knew one of the contestants on the show (Ragan Fox), so my wife and I started watching . and we got hooked. We've watched every season since, and we're watching the current season of the show. Even if you don't watch.

Gettin' Iggy Wit' It: October 2013
http://iggyyoda.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Saturday, October 5, 2013. About how NFL football player Brian Holloway responded to vandalism of the home he has for sale by inviting the teenagers who vandalized the home to have a picnic and repair the damage that they had done. I found the story compelling, and I saw value in the sentiments expressed, but then I got to this line:. The author states, “Stop thinking that you're special. I guess to an extent I und...

Gettin' Iggy Wit' It: The Road to Hell ...
http://iggyyoda.blogspot.com/2008/08/road-to-hell.html
Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Wednesday, August 27, 2008. The Road to Hell . 8230; is paved with good intentions. So the old adage goes. I’m not really big on adages like that. If taken as literal truth, they usually oversimplify whatever they are describing. Still, sometimes they are useful for raising some kind of concern. I think this one applies to the following:. Video of the exchange between Dobbs and Donohue can be seen here. I’d m...

Gettin' Iggy Wit' It. Piecing together personal experience, popular culture, and politics. Thursday, March 20, 2014. No, by my title I'm not referring to the British band. Best remembered for their song "Our House," though that's worth a listen. Rather, I'm referring to the fact that today the NCAA men's basketball tournament. However, like my choice to give up college football in 2012. Yet, particularly after writing my most recent book chapter. As for men's basketball, like football, perhaps it can ree...
