Diving into the cyber-maelstrom!

Hey all,

I'm Dr. Ted, logging in from my humble office at San Jose State University, and this is my new project for 2009! Check in every week or two for a healthy collision between sport and popular culture. Commentary, theory, questions, and rants...they will all find their way into this thing. We'll talk cyborg athletes, pro wrestling and MMA, media and sport, identity politics, and much more. The tone will be academic, serious, playful, and even irreverent at times, depending on where I'm at! Until then, check out the film The Wrestler and see what you think...aside from the fact that Mickey Rourke's 50-something year-old head was attached to a body that looked like it had some help from a "supplement."
