Column: MLB’s playoff format is the wrong way to end the season
(09/25/13 4:40am)
In 1994, MLB announced that a wild card would come with an expanded league format and for the next 17 seasons, four teams from each league would have a shot at claiming the World Series.

State Senate gives landlords more rights in passing controversial bill
(09/18/13 4:17am)
Tenants in Madison and across the state could see landlords gain new rights if a controversial bill passed by the state Senate Tuesday were to become a law.
Cyrus' new antics are questionable
(09/12/13 7:11am)
Miley Ray Cyrus is the furthest thing from stupid. In fact, she’s far from desperation as well. Once the comfort of reruns and Disney contracts became unappealing, perhaps it was time for a new era to come upon her image. After effectively forging a career based on her persona based on her real life where she lives two lives, perhaps Miley grew frustrated with the pacifier of the public eye. Is it shameful? People grow up; discover their sexuality, act outlandish and irrational and uncaring of who sees.

Netflix posts bail for 'Arrested Development'
(06/03/13 6:31am)
So here we are, seven years later, and our Bluths have finally been saved. If you haven’t been keeping up with “Arrested Development” (which likely means you aren’t part of the show’s frothing and obsessive fanbase in the first place), here’s the deal: “Arrested Development,” frequently lauded as one of the funniest shows on television for its intelligent, rapid fire and frequently painfully subtle humor was cancelled back in 2006 as it’s constant deluge of critical praise and fervent cult following failed to keep the ratings buoyed for a show that, admittedly, benefitted better from the repeat viewings of DVDs than weekly airing.
Young woman gives Facebook album clever title
(05/03/13 4:27am)
In a shrewd display many social networkers are calling comedic genius, University of Wisconsin-Madison freshman Debra Little gave one of her Facebook photo albums the title “Freshmaniacs” Thursday.
Wednesday Morning Hangover: Elton's killing those bikers, Smalls
(05/01/13 1:46am)
I was planning on running Crazylegs this weekend, but then I looked online and saw I’d be paying $40 to most likely finance Barry Alvarez’s bloated salary, so I said screw it. But before coming to that decision, I did some reading up on the event and found that Ron Dayne was the race’s Grand Marshal in 2008, which is the least surprising thing ever. I feel embarrassed for Dayne when he’s introduced at Camp Randall every year just because he has nothing better to do, or when he’s signing autographs at whatever shitty appliance store happens to have its grand opening that week. No appearance is too insignificant for Dayne to extract every last ounce out of his 15 minutes. His Heisman Trophy is displayed at a goddamn Buffalo Wild Wings for fuck’s sake! What, Chili’s wasn’t low-brow enough?
Milk Music: road trips and all that is good about indie
(04/12/13 7:30am)
Anybody with even a remote interest in the history of American music would do well to check out Michael Azerrad’s “Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991.” It is a loving paean to a few of the most important bands on the American scene—bands like Minor Threat, Minutemen, The Replacements, Sonic Youth, Hüsker Dü and Dinosaur Jr—who could be said to constitute the pantheon of amerindie.
Fake News Friday: Manatee rights group boycotts Target stores after dress-naming scandal
(04/12/13 2:47am)
After a recent conflict in which Target issued an apology for labeling a plus-sized dress “manatee gray” on its website—it was later changed to “heather gray”—a group of outraged manatees has formed a coalition it calls “Manatees Are Mammals Too” to protest the change.
Column: Brewers viable option to fill sports-viewing void in spring
(04/04/13 3:37am)
There is a distinct cycle in terms of sports viewing in the state of Wisconsin. Throughout the fall, Saturdays have traditionally been reserved for Wisconsin football, while Sundays are religiously dedicated to the Green Bay Packers. As the Wisconsin and Marquette basketball programs get underway, some attention may be diverted toward those teams, yet they will still never amass the type of die-hard viewing reception the Packers or Badger football team receive.
Birds Abroad: She’s gone to a land down under

April Fools': Spice it up this April, literally
(04/01/13 5:40am)
Each year, every bed experiences the post-spring break lull. We’ve all hooked up with as many people as we met, banged our brains out on the beach and our poor genitalia have become immune to our boring Madison partners because of all those U-Miami hotties we saw instead.
SXSW update: cool cats from Thursday's showcases
(03/16/13 12:25am)
Well, my first night in Austin was wild to say the least—both because the environment here makes electricity seem weak and because I saw some incredible music. Okay, I won’t waste any more of your time with a cheap introduction; here are a couple of the best acts I saw yesterday:
'Mary Poppins' is positively supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(03/14/13 4:26am)
It’s a rare occasion that I’m left speechless at the theater, but the production of “Mary Poppins” currently showing at the Overture Center completely blew me away. This show follows the classic story, originally written as childrens’ books by P.L. Travers, about a whimsical British nanny put in charge of two troublesome children, George and Jane Banks.
