Come clean about "Gannongate"

By Alex Mazerov | March 3, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Over the past several weeks, a comprehensive investigation inside the blogosphere uncovered the truth about "Jeff Gannon" – a "reporter" for the blatantly partisan group GOPUSA and the amateurish Talon News Service who the White House allowed into press briefings for nearly two years. Liberal critics on the Internet discovered that "Jeff Gannon" is actually a pseudonym for the man's real name, James Guckert, and that he has an X-rated past and no journalistic background.

Temple should fire John Chaney

By Michael Bushnell | March 3, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Last week, Temple University basketball coach John Chaney sent a player into a game against St. Joseph's University to, in his words, "send a message,” for the illegal screens that he alleged St. Joe's had been using. Neimiah Ingram, the "goon” Chaney sent in to deliver that message, wound up breaking the right arm of St. Joseph's John Bryant, ending his season and his collegiate career (he's a senior). When Temple heard the news of Bryant's arm, Chaney should have been fired.

Wilco brings down the 9:30 Club

By Jonah Gold | March 2, 2005, midnight | In Print »

After an uninspiring five-song set from Chicago-based Detholz, the capacity crowd at the 9:30 Club awaited anxiously for the next band, on Feb. 24. Detholz, an evangelical rock group, seemed out of touch with the normal Wilco audience of college students and 50 year old men. They sang "Faith" by Limp Bizkit, a poor choice to play in front of a sold out show of people who had no interest in late nineties rap. Detholz even received a commemorative "You suck!" from the crowd, prompting them to quickly leave the stage.

50 Cent kicks The Game out of G-Unit

By Michael Bushnell | March 2, 2005, midnight | In Print »

50 Cent, the founder of rap group Guerilla Unit, found another feud this week from a seemingly unlikely source--his now-former protégé, The Game. Their recent beef escalated following a shooting outside New York radio station Hot 97 on Monday. 50 kicked The Game out of G-Unit, claiming that he has been disloyal during the recent battles with other high-profile rap stars, including fellow New York MCs Jadakiss and Ja Rule.

First of a kind for D.C.

By Jonah Gold | March 2, 2005, midnight | In Print »

After a journey that stretched from Montreal to Puerto Rico, from Portland to Las Vegas and then finally to Washington D.C., the Nationals were ready to play under their new name. Ironically, the Nationals honored the nation's capital with a victory today playing in their temporary home in Florida against a team from New York.
