Well, Major League Baseball has taken over the LA Dodgers. This, to me, raises so many questions. Frank McCourt leveraged a bunch of money to pay for the Dodgers, right? Who did he pay it to? The previous owners? Ok. So how can the MLB just “take” his team? Do they buy it from him? Does he get an IOU?
Dear Frank McCourt
IOU one LA Dodgers Franchise
Sincerely,
Bud Selig.

Obviously I’m not in the loop on how a massive franchise takeover happens inside a billion dollar multi city industry. What are the odds.
Oh, and the NBA has started their 14 month playoff season. And hockey started the playoffs too. Just like last year, every team made the playoffs, or so it seems.
So much sports. Now I just need a cohost that cares about something other than the Blackhawks, because they are getting routed by Vancouver.
Time to Make the Donuts.
are you going to talk about the professor who told the student group to f themselves
apparently not
Now you’ve challenged me to sue you by not discussing the professor.
you insist on having that picture, don’t you.
Friggin’ Cheba Hut. Ruined my Amazing Race victory.
At this rate, he can chug a gallon of ranch in less than three minutes.
1) I dont know how to change the picture anymore
2) James biggest problem with the decemberist is that he is too old to stay awake
true story
Speaking of – I’m spent. Peace.
That is a spot on description of the show. Not impressed, but his voice is awesome.
Please note this is a loose interpretation of my understanding of the Louisiana Purchase.
“walk a mile in my ballet flats”. beautiful!
James – stop.
This is for the historical event screwup. We’re going back to 4 ABY.
Imagine. It’s the battle of Endor. The rebel strike team on Endor is caputred as normal, but Admiral Ackbar does not realize the emperor’s trap. The X wings and Y wings run into the deflector shield and are vaporized. Enraged with the loss of his friends, he kills Darth Vader but ultimately falls to the dark side and becomes the emperor’s new apprentice. The Rebel alliance is destroyed by the now fully functioning death star, and balance is not restored to the force.
I got annoyed reading this at Endor, but I’m sure James will love this one.
It’s a trap!
Can’t you say a**hole on TV? If so, it should be valid on this site. Okay, seriously going to bed. Especially after I was disqualified.
I forgot to say earlier that Luke turned to the dark side, not Admiral Ackbar, sorry.
He should have just renewed the book online.
24 oz of ranch is damn near 3000 calories.
3 cents per acre.

Wow. What a failure.
Stonewall Jackson’s my great great grandfather!
Mitchell Manning is not born, world remains completely lame.
#winner
Good thing John Hancock got deleted rather than my great great grandfather. I would rather be alive than dead right now.
You guys forgot to see the comment above where I said that Stonewall Jackson was my great great grandfather, and you said that he should be deleted. If he got deleted, I would never have been born.
liar
Mitchell Manning is single and looking.
HAHA! Thanks Mandy! Justin you have a sexy voice.
The Now is dead to me.
Last night I listened to the April 21 show and was mortified. The format has changed from current topics and the weeks top adult alternative to an ad hoc conversation.
Furthermore when topics were introduced which were relevant and timely the show outright rejected the conversation and by doing so the shows producers made their own political statement. Such bias and treatment of what is now a national press item makes it easy for public radio to be targeted for funding cuts. I myself support and love public radio and find such programming to be dangerous to the future of public radio.
In short I wish that The Now would return to its former self mixing current topics with current music.
That’s why we have a disclaimer.
The stories were definitely timely. The guy destroying his own trophy was particularly “The Now”.
Just because you’re bitter that we didn’t discuss a politically charged email that was distributed by hitting “reply all”, well, what am I supposed to say? “Reply All Strikes Again!”
But my catch-all is this; that’s why we have a disclaimer. And it’s my show, so feel free to go back to your AM propaganda machine instead of listening to Radiohead and The Strokes and getting ultra-witty banter and buttery-smooth baritone hosting if you so choose.
From now on the only James McDonald I listen to is:
