CANTON, Ohio - The City Council is considering renaming a street for the O'Jays, and the move has been revised to avoid confusing the honor with O.J. Simpson.
Councilman Thomas West has proposed renaming a portion of Mahoning Road in tribute to the singing group that got their start in Canton. The council discussed the idea Monday night and could vote next month.
One business was concerned that people would think the street was named after Simpson, acquitted of the 1994 murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman. West agreed to change the request to The O'Jays Boulevard instead of O'Jays Boulevard.
The O'Jays, whose songs include "Back Stabbers," "Love Train" and "For the Love of Money," were inducted last month into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I've already sent an email to the higher-ups in Latham, NY demanding Pershing Drive (otherwise knows as the home to Casa de Simspon) be renamed O.J. Simpson Lane.
- The catch by the Wichita State kid (Go Shockers!) last night was absolutely insane. The fact that college kids still use aluminum bats is also absolutely insane. How has some poor 3B not died yet?
- I know everyone is dying to know who won Nashville Star, and I'm here to tell you - 18 year old Erika Jo. She beat some Buddy Holly-looking donkey and some other guy from Oklahoma. Good for her. However, I need to discuss this Cowboy Troy guy, who performed last night in the show's opening. Who the hell is this guy? Is that Olden Polynice dressed as a cowboy?
- A-Rod, wow...Nice work. You reminded me of Mark Whiten last night. Apparently, all the Yankees need to do is score double digit runs a game, and they'll be all set. Speaking of scoring tons of runs every game, how about those Orioles? Man can they mash. I think we are going to have a very nice three team race this summer in the AL East (yes, I am dismissing Toronto and Tampa Bay, sue me)
- The odds of Dewon Brazelton ever winning a game on the road (he is 0-13 in his first 17 road starts) are about the same as Butt not being hungover today.

I'm hungover. Beer...then sangria later...recipe for disaster.
Cowboy Troy was introduced to the masses during his performance with Big and Rich at the NBA All-Star game.
So it was Olden...
Geoff - you and Dennis should start a cookbook together. Guaranteed sales during the holiday season
We'll call it "Recipes for Disaster"? Or "The Idiot's Guide to Getting Drunk"?
Every time I hear "sangria", I still think of the sign on Swint's door during golf party of my sophomore year - "Sangria: Some Kind of Queer European Drink"
It's wine and fruit juices, and fruit...and some other stuff. It drinks like a meal.
It's the Dinty Moore of queer European drinks.
