The Morning After

Well, earlier I wrote this 'open letter' on my Facebook page and due to the overwhelming response, I decided to share it with you on the Rock 108 website. That way, you don't have to be a friend or a friend of a friend or whatever to read this.

Last week Michael was out because he was at Austin City Limits Music Festival. So, this week, we decided we'd talk about our favorite concerts.

Yeah, it happens all the time. Well, now you show off your six-pack abs without going to the gym thanks to the new iOS app called ABSmatic. Just like other picture editing apps, you just load your picture, apply the effect, make an adjustment or two and the next thing you know, you have super abs.

In every crowd of football fans is an 'expert'. You know that person. The one who can't stop talking about he or she has picked the winners each week or how they should be the coach. Well, we decided to gather a few of these 'experts' for a weekly pick'em challenge.

Mike Skow, of KTXS TV, started off a bit slow but has really turned it on the past couple of weeks. This past week, he rocked out an 8-2 record, along with Preach and myself.
