Navy's New Minehunter Can't See or Stop Mines
2012-01-19 14:11:00 From Gizmodo: It's bad enough that the Navy's newest ship has had wicked problems with corrosion, missed out on the latest naval wartime missions and is generally something of a Frankenstein's monster. Now the Pentagon's top weapons tester has found problems with its abilities to find an

Navy Pier Winter WonderFest--Just Go!
2010-12-02 22:55:00 It's winter, and the cold, gray weather might be making you want to curl up under a blanket and take a nap. Unfortunately, children are seemingly immune to weather-related fatigue. They still have all kinds of energy to burn, and the park isn't really an option if you don't feel like freezing your ass off. There are plenty of indoor play options, such as the mall and (yep, I'm gonna say it) McDonald's. But in December, you should take your energetic kids to Winter WonderFest at Navy Pier! Even the scroogiest of adults won't be able to control their Christmas spirit in this place! Picture a huge room lit with approximately 8 million lights and hundreds of Christmas trees. (I...

Navy loss takes the buzz away from Notre Dame season
2010-10-25 10:20:00 In most situations, this is kind of a dumb post to write. When you're managing a blog that's readership is dependent on interest in a sports team, "Don't bother watching this sports team" is not a very business-minded thesis to push. After 2007 though, the Notre Dame fan base has proved itself to be fairly 'awful-teamproof'. So perhaps they'll stick around even though after getting not defeated, but legitimately pancaked by a seriously game Navy football team, expectations for the 2010 Notre Dame football team have taken a hit. Or a gunshot.
Notre Dame vs. Navy - Good, Bad & Ugly
2010-10-23 23:29:00 You never really see the worst days of your life coming, which is why they're able to devolve into such disasters in the first place. And the same goes for Notre Dame football. While a listless, underwhelming performance, and certainly the 3rd loss to Navy in 4 years were certainly on the menu for today, a withering, season-paralyzing evisceration at the hands of the perennially under-sized but never out-exerted Midshipmen...well...that frankly came as a bit of a surprise.
Aw crap, Notre Dame...you aren't going to lose to Navy again are you?
2010-10-22 07:12:00 I was all set to write a piece about how this is the year that a deeply flawed but competently coach Notre Dame team with all its uber-talent would finally give us the easy dispatching of recruit-less Navy we've been craving for about...what? Four years now? I had a title picked out, an analysis of Ricky Dobbs' declining numbers quarterback, and clips of head coach Ken Niumatalolo trying to eat a referee and "In the Navy" cued up. But now? I don't feel the same. For the 8 millionth year in a row, Navy has a well-coached team that's going to execute the hell out of a tricky game plan, and I have no idea how our team is going to respond to it.
Weekly Vitriol: Screw Navy
2010-10-21 18:15:00 Every year, like terrible, horrifying clockwork, the story repeats itself. "Navy is soooooo awesome? Do you know what Navy did for us once, way back during WWII?" Yeah, I got it. I got it the first thousand times somebody told me about it too. In the Notre Dame world, that story is hard to avoid. But you know what we gave them in return for that? Profitability. Navy gets to play us every year for as long as they want. And they sure as hell turn that into some profit. Sure, Notre Dame enjoys playing in the Meadowlands, and I'm sure as hell making the trip over there to Ireland, but you know who's making bank off of those games? The Navy is. They're turning their football players into small piles of dollar signs just like all the rest of the FBS schools in the world, and their game against Notre Dame every year is a major factor in them being in the black.
