While the world’s sports journalists fill our airwaves with reports about Uruguay’s Luis Suarez, the soccer-playing lout who likes to bite other players, I’m still waiting for a feel-good story about those lovable Brazilian football fans who last year decapitated a referee and put his head on a stake.

What, you hadn’t heard about that?  It’s the one-year anniversary next week – Google it!

The Huffington Post’s TV critics, of all people, have been on an amusing rampage.  First, Maureen Ryan had an emotional meltdown (“I’m done!”) over what she perceived as a sexist new series, FX’s The Tyrant.  Then the Post published an article about “overrated” TV series that included these shows, some of which you probably know:  Girls, Seinfeld, Scandal, Boardwalk Empire, Orphan Black, Mad Men, Orange Is the New Black, and South Park.

You go, Post!
