Growing up outside of St. Louis , Randy & Jason Sklar had a typical suburban upbringing — playing soccer and baseball after school, hanging out with friends. Then they found comedy.

Their comedy quickly attracted the attention of MTV's talent executives looking to develop a different kind of comedy show. What they came up with was ” Apartment 2F ” — a sitcom format based around Randy and Jason's characters living in New York City . The format allowed the team to work into plotlines, live comedy performances, comedic characters, and short films by other performers. The show aired on MTV from July 13, 1997 through November of 1997 garnering rave reviews.

After developing pilots with HBO Independent Productions, WB and NBC, Jason and Randy provided the voices of Biff and Chip Oblong on the critically acclaimed animated show, The Oblongs.

Randy and Jason have also guest starred in several TV shows, including an Emmy Award winning episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. They starred as Read the rest of this entry »

GAME 5: Blazers @ Milwaukee Bucks

The Blazers find themselves in Milwaukee for the 4th and final game of their road trip. The Bucks should be fresh, with 2 days off after beating the lowly Charlotte Bobcats Saturday night.

The Bucks on paper.
Their starting 5 boasts: Brandon Jennings, John Salmons, Carlos Delfino, Drew Gooden and Andrew Bogut. Off the bench we can expect to see Corey Maggette ([Mike Barrett voice] … and here comes Corey Maggette, who alway seems to play well against the Blazers ([Mike Barrett Voice]), Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Jon Brockman.

Bogut's their workhorse in the middle, currently averaging 12 points, 11 rebounds at nearly 3 blocks per game. Jennings does a little bit of everything at a blistering pace. After those two, there isn't Read the rest of this entry »

Portland Timbers Tuesday: Cuts and Petitions

This week was a "get your house in order" week for the Portland Timbers, who are waiting for the clock to tick down November 24^th, the date of the MLS expansion draft which will spell the arrival of many new faces.

As such, the Timbers announced on their official websitethat eight members of the 2010 team would "not be retained for the club's inaugural Major League Soccer season." It might seem a bit weird to formally and publicly announce that you're not keeping players, but in this case the statement provides a measure of closure to the players and fans alike, as well as an opportunity for the players to pursue their next job unencumbered. Of the eight names, 2010 team captain Ian Joy will probably elicit the most fan regret. To a get a sense for the rest, though, here's a telling statistic: the six forwards and midfielders that will not be retained combined for just one goal and four assists in 3,765 minutes played during the 2010 season. That lack of production simply won't do at the next level.

Aside from the eight players who are no longer under consideration, and the Read the rest of this entry »
