Today's Show went well...
Hey kids...
Today's radio show went without too much aggravation.
There are still some wrinkles to be ironed out with the new Coyote Radio,
but for the most part, today went OK.
More on this a little later...
I stumbled across this website by accident. You guys and gals gotta check this guy out...
http://www.countolaf.com/blog/
I have recently been accused of being a megalomaniac. Though I disagree, I admit I have moments of greatness that I cannot help but to share with others.
But this guy takes the cake.
You wanna talk about being full of one's self, goto his home site, http://www.countolaf.com if you can handle his blog.
I'll admit, his blogs are funny, but they drip of pretentiousness, not unlike that bonehead of a boner, Bono from U2 (pretentiouss asshole).
Speaking of assholes, the infamous Yankee fan video has generated much feedback from websurfers, and the only ones offended were Yankee fans- big surprise!
You dum-basses got a lot of nerve defending the behavior of those bleacher-creatures.
For those of you unfamiliar with the infamous Yankee fan video, here is the original post...
If you are a fan of the New York Yankees, it is quite probable that you are an asshole.
Here at turzman-dot-com, we have uncovered empirical evidence supporting the statement,
"Yankee fans are complete & total assholes."
Watch this video for the proof...
http://turzman.com/asshole.avi
After watching this video, anyone that still considers themselves Yankee fans should be ashamed of themselves.
This video is no fake, it was taken during game 2 against Boston at Yankee Stadium in this year's championship series, just a couple of days ago.
Of course, the game mentioned was last week, but I wanted you all to read the notes on the infamous Yankee fan video in its original context.
Now for today's show...
I can only assume that my good friend Wesley Collins was too busy at his great new job to call in and talk sports with his old co-host, so I'll let him slide.
I want to thank Todd Coshow for coming in and talking MLB playoffs and NFL football with me.
And of course, The Professor, Andy Tufano called in from the Victorville campus to share his thoughts on the past debates, the upcoming election, and why we should all re-elect "Governor Dubya".
He didn't convince me, but it's nice to have him on the show.
As if you didn't know, Coyote Radio can be found only on the internet at http://radio.csusb.edu
Listeners are encouraged to call in and participate,
909-880-5617.
C-ya all next time, and don't take any shit from anybody.

NFL picks week 6 & a word about Yankee fans
Hey kids...
I apologize for the tardiness of these football picks but it was another long & hard week.
Before I get to business I must show you something about Yankee fans...
If you are a fan of the New York Yankees, it is quite probable that you are an asshole.

Unmentionable assholes, those right field freaks from the Bronx.
Any thoughts? Shoot me an e-mail, mike@turzman.com or call the Turzman hotline at 909-881-3654.
As for football picks, the regular rules apply. If you are new to this site, consult a previous post as to how my handicapping notes work. Home teams are in caps...
San Diego over ATLANTA *
BUFFALO over Miami *
CHICAGO over Washington
Cincinnati over CLEVELAND *
DETROIT over Green Bay *
TENNESSEE over Houston
Seattle over NEW ENGLAND * (yes, you read that one correctly).
NEW YORK JETS over San Francisco *
PHILADELPHIA over Carolina
Kansas City over JACKSONVILLE *
Pittsburgh over DALLAS
OAKLAND over Denver *
Minnesota over NEW ORLEANS
and Monday Night...
ST. LOUIS over Tampa Bay *
combined points tie breaker is 59.
Don't even worry about my 3 team point parlee pool. I haven't come close yet and I'm ready to give it up.
I'm committed every week for the rest of the season and I don't even know who I have tomorrow.
If there's anything worth mentioning about it after Sunday, I'll be sure to brag.
Until then,
don't take any shit from anybody.

GREAT WHITE SHARK WINS CITES APPENDIX II PROTECTION
Hey kids...
Here is an e-mail I received from the Shark Research Institute:
October 13, 2004 The great white shark has been placed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), a United Nations Treaty Organization convening October 2 to 14, in Bangkok, Thailand. The proposal was sponsored by Australia and Madagascar. During the debate, Ecuador, Thailand, United States, the European Union, and IUCN spoke in favor of the proposal, while Japan, Norway, Iceland, China, Guinea-Bissau, Qatar and the Caribbean nations of St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis voiced their strong opposition. Japan called for a secret ballot. Some 87 countries (parties) voted in favor of the listing, 34 opposed and nine countries abstained.
CITES convenes every two years. The 166 countries that are signatories to CITES have agreed to abide by and implement decisions taken by CITES. Shark Research Institute participates as an NGO (non- governmental organization) where, along with other organizations such as WWF, TRAFFIC and SSN, we meet with delegates to present scientific data in support or opposition of proposals under consideration by CITES.
Under CITES rules, an Appendix II listing allows trade if it does not threaten survival of the species, while an Appendix I listing prohibits all trade in the species. The Appendix II "zero quota" listing that Australia and Madagascar originally proposed, would in fact be similar to an Appendix I listing but a decision to withdraw the "zero quota" was made to improve the proposal's chance of success.
Australia and Madagascar's proposal stated that an Appendix II listing for the shark would ensure exploitation of this globally threatened species is regulated and monitored and that international trade is not detrimental to its survival. The position statement, issued by Dr. Leonard Compagno, Director of SRI and author of the United Nations FAO World Catalogue of Sharks provided strong scientific support for the proposal.
Great white sharks are targeted commercially and by recreational fishermen for their jaws and teeth. Their fins, like those of other sharks, are in demand for shark fin soup.
The great white is only the third shark species to be afforded Appendix II protection by CITES, joining the basking and whale sharks which were listed at CITES Convention Parties (CoP12) in Santiago, Chile.
At CoP13, Japan's proposal to commercially hunt minke whales has been harpooned; 57 countries voting in favor of the proposal, 67 against and 14 abstaining. The humphead wrasse (also known as the Napoleon wrasse or Maori wrasse), Cheilinus undulatus, gained Appendix II protection, and wild African elephants won more protection against ivory poachers following a six-hour debate.
I just received word that Japan will try to reopen discussion on minke whales and white sharks during the plenary session this afternoon or tomorrow morning in hopes of preventing ratification of the decisions.

This is a major step in getting all countries to recognize the ocean's top predator as endangered thanks to human behavior, and maybe soon it will be illegal to hunt the Great White in all waters. That is expecting too much from such a stupid species as human beings, but at least some progress is being made.
In unrelated news, this link was e-mailed to me this morning.
