When I think about the Cardinals and the Red Sox playing each other in October, I see dead people. That&#39;s a line from a movie, of course, and I shamelessly used it to grab your attention rather than tell the truth.

Gabe: So the big news today, in the world of web comics at least is that PvP is getting itself animated. Scott posted the news along with a little teaser over on his site. He"s actually writing the entire thing with the help of Kris Straub. I was a big fan of the old Blamimations they did together and I"ve told them both whenever possible that they needed to collaborate more. I make jokes when I"m uncomfortable and it just so happens I have issues with anxiety so I"m essentially uncomfortable all day. That means I spend a lot of my time making jokes. When Scott and Kris were up here visiting I hardly said a word. They"re just too funny and they"re always on. You just can"t compete with them, all you can do is laugh.

Can a comedian dispense  relationship advice on television as effectively as can a  doctor -- or better, even? Greg Behrendt is counting on  precisely that, though from the outset it is difficult to take  much of what Behrendt says seriously because he really doesn't,  either.

Bee Sports Columnist. A truce? Come on. There hasn&#39;t been lasting peace between fans and jocks since before Ty Cobb&#39;s time, though it is Cobb&#39;s case that keeps coming up lately - strictly for conversational purposes, you understand.

Listen up! Tony Kornheiser had to be better than the short-lived sitcom loosely based on his life. And he was. Much better. And that's even putting aside such a low standard as the Washington Post columnist and ESPN personality's 2004 show "Listen Up."

Fox&#39;s Emmy telecast  proved that you don&#39;t need to have a comedian serving as host.  You can sneak jokes into presenter speeches. You can have  &quot;Family Guy&#39;s&quot; Brian and Stewie hurl clever insults. You can  use taped pieces and a rant from Lewis Black. You can do all  that and put together an acceptable though unspectacular show.
