198. Just Shootin’ the Bull. The Bear’s Rolex Picks.

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Murphy was just killin’ time here waiting for the Rolex start, doin’ nuttin’ much, and realized he’s been doin’ nuttin’ much for like a long time. Of course, wit da Braselburgers doin nuttin much lately, he’s gotten a little bored with the whole scene.

The winner will certainly be in there somewhere; he gave you a podium sweep in 2008, two steps in 2009, and the top step in 2010.  (Ok, so the trend ain’t all that great, but what the hell, we keep on comin’ back.) The Bear doesn’t keep any secrets from his fans, so for the newbies, here are… (more…)

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

In an off-season that’s been frighteningly quiet, the Bear’s been able to keep up with most of the rumors with an occasional Tweet. Here’s some rehash and a bit of new perspective on the stories Murphy’s heard. (more…)
