Brady reminds me of Jurgenson right there. Whenever one of his receivers would drop a pass he'd go right back to them on the next play. And they'd bloody well catch it.

Iowa graphs
Imagine this-- the myth that Edwards has lived in Iowa longer than the others this campaign just doesn't appear to be factually based. In fact, by historical standards, all the numbers are a bit low. During the 1988 campaign, Bruce Babbitt spent 118 days in Iowa, second to Dick Gephardt who spent 148 days there.
All in all what this shows for Edwards is two-fold: He's being massively outspent but he's doing well enough to win regardless.
OH NOES!
Why the fuck hasn't any goddamn defense figured out the NE offense?
Christ, they've had a whole season of films to watch and NE still just waltzes over everybody like they are pop warner teams.

OK -- Pats back in the lead & way past my bedtime -- the question is, is it safe to retire?
(& the discussion of Ephesians & wifely submission is in the thread downstairs)
Well, the clip was somewhat amusing. But my guess is that giving Dick Cavett a blowjob would probably result in semi-sophisticated moans interspersed with light-hearted humorous comments.

I dunno: I still remember the Dolphins. They may have been better. And the Steelers in their prime. And the Bart Starr led Packers with Paul Hornung and the rest were awfully good. Hard to say. (The NFL at this point is talent diluted more than before the rules have been changed significantly.)

26. William Kristol
Charges: Bears the burlesque Cheshire grin of a sophist born with a large silver spoon jammed sideways in his mouth. A second generation neocon raised in the tradition of Straussian perception management and myth creation, Kristol is basically lying about everything -- always -- and he knows it. Whether at the helm of Rupert Murdoch's Weekly Standard, appearing on Murdoch's Fox News Channel, or co-founding the disastrous Project for a New American Century, Bill is arguably the most egregious media hawk of a generation. Seems to have suffered no ill impact to his career or prestige despite having been completely wrong about everything to do with Iraq and Iran, and actually laughs about it with obnoxious frequency.
Exhibit A: "First of all, whenever I hear anything described as a heartless assault on our children, I tend to think it's a good idea. I'm happy that the President's willing to do something bad for the kids."
Sentence: Corners of mouth torn apart by metal hook towing mules and face stomped by high-heeled elephants.

Echidne
Unfortunately, no one is laughing. The truth is that the New York Times is still an important force in the news business. One comment above was who cares about the editorial pages? That is not really the point. THe point is the editorial position of the newspaper.
Enough examples of the timidness of the Times have been given that I will not reiterate them. But the fact that they FAILED to adequately inform people about this war, illegal wiretapping of Americans, irregularities in voting, the complicity of the government in torture, the illegal activities of this administration in a variety of nefarious schemes that have led to massive fraud against the people of the USA and on and on.
To invite someone like William Kristol who was one of the principal founders of the PAC group - THE organization for the NEO CONS, the ones that got us into the fucking mess we are now in - to write for your newspaper and gives his DISCREDITED ideas credibility and wider range is simply stupifying ignorant and mind-boggling insulting to any one with a brain and an ounce of patriotism.
(that's not a slam on Wings fans - just a commentary on their fervor.)
But the one time I went to the Joe for a Blues-Wings game, St. Louis won 6-5, even chasing Belfour five minutes into the second period.
This puzzles me. For me it's an inherent, constant state of being, not a mood.

Legace's been hurt. Hannu Toivonen is the #1 goaltender for St. Louis now.
Toivonen stopped Dallas on the first shot, but St. Louis missed their first chance, too.

So we were visiting the godson & his grandparents were over that night too. Grandpa is a coin collector, and he had started a collection for the baby with these gold presidential coins. The book that's made for them has a little paragraph about each president -- you know, the capsule judgment-of-history thing for 5th-graders or whatever. That kind of thing.
And the little paragraph for W was *perfectly scathing.* In three sentences, they dismissed him as an utter failure -- war under false pretenses, failed response to Katrina, deeply unpopular, etc., etc.
I was amazed. I would have thought that a cheerful little coin-collectors' three-sentence bio would have been much blander. So there's the judgment of history W keeps hoping for, already printed in the sweet little coin-collectors' book.

As a Boston area sports fan I can say that as of 9 minutes ago the Pats are yesterday's news. It's the Celtics that really rock now. They've already won more games this season than they did in all of last season. Wait'll they get used to playing with each other, then they'll really be sumptin.
Darryl, a bit nippy at 9 C in the SFV tonight. How's on your side of the divide?
The Packers are the only team to win three championships in a row. Prior to the first 2 Superbowls, they won the 1965 NFL title.
As for the '34 and '42 Bears, they were indeed unbeaten during the regular season, but they lost the title game both times.

Well, as a longtime Floridian, I've always had a certain enmity for Jacksonville as a city. It stinks -- literally (paper mills) -- and it's just a big overgrown hick town. I've seen TWO Chinese restaurants there with signs that read "Chinee Takee Outee."
But the fatal blow was when the city was awarded the Jaguars by the NFL in 1993, when I was living in St. Louis and rooting hard for them to get the franchise. I'll never forget how deflated I was hearing the announcement on the radio.

Shhh. Be very very quiet.
We don't want to jinx anyone's playoff chances.

DP might like this shot.

Depakote? Lithium carbonate?
Still have any hair left?
She was in a wheelchair with an O2 tank. The triage nurse called her, and her husband was like, you have to wait, she needs to have her cigarette now. He unhooked her O2 supply and took her outside.
That was my mother, 2 months before she died.
Watertiger, will you be sorry in the morning?

just . . . barely.
Wow. I got a comment from an entire year.
Of course, 2008 doesn't know it's a leap year.

Is he spelling in LOLCat English now?
The Voodoo
You can see how it got its nickname.
Hey NTodd, I saw Mr. Broken Bones Bastard today.
I made him cry.
Definite oops.

Isn't anyone who has a Christmas tree objectively "propaganist"?
I still hold fast to my theory that Slingin' Sammy Baugh was the best professional football player, there ever was.

My cats think it's objectively for them to climb.

Hope the bastard deserved it.

Darryl, I didn't have to do a thing. He saw me and cried.
Drive-by 
He saw me and cried.

Pitiful.
But..., some things must be kept at a distance.
aiiiiight.
gonna go collapse on the air mattress.
laterz.
NTodd, you'll be relieved to know that Mlle does, too. Feels sorry for what happened to him. That's what I get for trying to raise her to be a decent human being.
shit....
look here... did they have to put the cat and Chelsea so close together? Coincidence?!
Fuck.
JR, not my standard MO. I'm not tall enough to make anyone cry.
You can see how it got its nickname.
My father was stationed at the base where that plane is sitting back in the 1950's. Camp Borden.
Sheets, I kid you not.
The furry bastards are colluding. The dog has knocked towel to the floor, over a heat register... the cat now is sleeping on his heated bed.
I dread finding out what the cat is doing for him in exchange.
Vanity, vanity -- it was seeing a stop-smoking film that emphasized what it does to your skin that got me. Woman after woman with wrinkles like snow-tire tread would stand in a strong light and say something like "I'm forty and I've smoked sine I was fifteen." And so I quit in 1991, and don't have snow-tire tread syndrome. My sister-in-law who didn't quit has it.
Strawhat, I think I was just done.

Camp Borden.
Richard
Yup, CFB Borden. My friend ended up stationed there before he retired.
I actually saw this on TV...

Nice kitties, waiting to see the passengers off.
They're making slyish gay jokes, but didn't Eddie Murphy get caught with a trannie prostitute?

The Dumbest Deaths in Recorded History
http://moronland.net/moronia/moron/1071/
Jerome Irving Rodale:
Founding father of the organic food movement, creator of "Organic Farming and Gardening" magazine, and founder of Rodale Press, a major publishing corporation.
How he died: On the "Dick Cavett Show", while discussing the benefits of organic foods.
Rodale, who bragged "I'm going to live to be 100 unless I'm run down by a sugar-crazed taxi driver," was only 72 when he appeared on the "Dick Cavett Show" in January 1971. Part way through the interview, he dropped dead in his chair. Cause of death: heart attack. The show was never aired.
Dick had style on the dance floor
I swear that is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I had no idea that interview existed. I have watched it so many times now, I'm exhausted.
It helps, I guess, to be old enough to know Dick Cavett...I'm still laughing.
