It's neutral to write stories about schoolyard roles. That way whoever gets the job won't slam you or destroy your career later.
That way, you still get to eat and drink at those cocktail parties they were talking about. No one seems to mention that the likes of Joe Klein, Charlie Gibson, Sally Quinn, etc, also go to those parties and suck at the lobbyist teet.
That column was insipid.

Forgive me. I'm distracted.

Flutie last year.
There was one play, where the punt coverer was knocked out of bounds, then when he came back in bounds, was blocked into the punted ball.
Penalty. You can't come back in bounds and be the first person to touch the ball.

So JAX burn their last timeout on a dodgy challenge and the "free" time out at 2min by not having a play ready?

I saw a bowl game recently where one team had a rugby-style punter. Very unorthodox.
Of course, I still remember when soccer-style placekicks were the exception rather than the rule. I never could do that; I always kicked straight-ahead.
Eagles punter Sav Rocca is a former Australian rules football player.
Yeah, I heard about him getting called a poof by his mates back in Oz. (I also spliced Roy & HG's commentary on the Grand Final video this year. Much fun.)
But you'll start seeing more and more mobile punters with kick-to-touch skills, I think. The position has to evolve now that you have scary return specialists.
Sanders was 5' 8" and 203.
Was Flutie attempting a two point conversion that went wrong?
Sinfonian,
"Though short at 5'8", Sanders was very stocky; his playing weight of 203 lb (91 kg) was the same as Walter Payton and only slightly under the NFL average for a back."

Well, no I don't.
I saw a bowl game recently where one team had a rugby-style punter. Very unorthodox.
Me too, in more than one bowl. Obvious place to recruit punters for college teams, though: a fly-half or full-back who has learned to avoid tackles and kick accurately out of bounds is the best defence to a returner who can go the length of the field.

"Every time he speaks out for change, every time I fight for change, the forces of status quo are going to attack," Edwards said."
Hillary said this in real time and monocles dropped:
""You said you would vote against the Patriot Act. You came to Senate, you voted for it. You said you would vote against the Iraq war, you came to the Senate and voted for" funding, she said.

I really do not know how one compares athletes other than statistics and these become meaningless because they play for different teams. I do know that Barry Sanders played for the worst team in the league and still established some pretty damned significant records. Can you imagine what HIS statistics would have looked like playing for the Patriots or the Steelers or any of the other teams that simply do not suck?

He was the best actor in I Heart Huckabees and probably in Boogie Nights. There might be a pattern here.

Therefore they do not cover the war and accept the word of the government that things are going splendidly.
The government has stopped doing things (like patrols) that are pissing off people so the number of attacks has diminished.
The number of people who have been displaced or killed has reduced the number of people who are willing to kill or be killed.
The situation has not really improved, it is just not being reported.
That's my story 5-11 208.

Ya gotta wonder why they bother. When the vulcan group gets around to it they will decide who the next president will be.
Why aren't voters asking about Iraq? With the thousands of soldiers getting killed each month this should be the only issue in this campaign.
What the hell happened?

i agree that it is the issue but why do you say voters aren't asking? isn't it the media village that's not asking? i will certainly be asking everyone about the issue at my wash caucus in a month.

Yeah, he is.
But Peterson fucked this league up this year; much the same Randy Moss did his rookie year.
Defenses got smart in putting eight in the box (no flirting) when Peterson came to town. How messed up is it that a defense has to revolve around one person?
(yes, I realive that the Vikings aren't in the playoffs...)
Actually, Wikipedia says the Lions made the playoffs five times in Sander's career. ( I don't remember that. Maybe I am old)

"thousand of people, not necessarily soldiers, getting killed each month"
It may be wrong to think this way (and I don't), but most Americans don't care about people from other countries being killed, unless the numbers are staggering in size. Even then, it doesn't become a major campaign issue.
Speaking of Mitt, I saw a headline today that said he won the Wyoming caucuses.
Did anyone know they were having caucuses in Wyoming?
For that matter, did anyone besides Dick "Dick" Cheney know that Wyoming is still a state?

What does edwards gain by pumping up obama and attacking Hillary? He has been at it for weeks now. I can't figure out what his advantage would be. edwards only hope was to score big quick. He doesn't have the cash to keep going like Hillary or obama.

Yes, and they are trying to keep the Wyoming caucus relevant by sending all twelve of their elected delegates directly to the convention.

What does edwards gain by pumping up obama and attacking Hillary?
Edwards thinks he can beat Obama, if Obama is focused on Clinton. This is because Clinton has to respond to Obama, but because of how far back in the polls Edwards is, she can almost ignore him.

There's no accounting at all for body type. It's one size fits all, except of course, that it doesn't.
But Peterson fucked this league up this year; much the same Randy Moss did his rookie year.
Tom Thayer, the Bears radio analyst, said that Peterson was the type of player that forces the other teams in his division to change their long-term strategies of drafting and signing free agents. Every team in the NFC North will have to improve their run defense for the next 10 years.

Only as long as the Vikings have an offensive line that can spring him (like they did this year). If your O-line begins to age or gets injured (like the Bears's did this year), those eight defenders in the box will eat Peterson alive.
If the next Chief Executive doesn't blurt out "World War III, heh, heh", I'll call it a net gain.
"Bullshit.

edwards has no cash. He needed to win quick. Instead of letting Hillary and obama fight it out in the last couple of debates edwards went right at her while he pumped obama. Why?
edwards tonight:
Edwards, second-place finisher in Iowa, worked throughout the debate to align himself with Obama as an advocate for change in Washington, and described Clinton as a defender of the status quo. "Every time he speaks out for change, every time I fight for change, the forces of status quo are going to attack," Edwards said.
edwards earlier today:
"The forces of status quo are going to attack every single time," he said after Clinton criticized Obama. "We need an unfiltered debate between the agents of change about how to bring about that change."
"He believes deeply in change and I believe deeply in change," Edwards said. "I didn't hear these kind of attacks from Sen. Clinton when she was ahead, and any time you speak out for change that’s what happens."
http://www.politico.com/blogs/
be...cks_a_side.html
edwards has no money:
Former senator John Edwards said yesterday that he will accept public financing in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, a move that will provide a short-term infusion of cash for his campaign but severely limit his ability to spend in crucial early primary contests.

Try Googling John Edwards and then Hillary Clinton under Google News--numbers are far, far different from what were typed in above. Wonder how that happened.

David, here's more generic information from the 2006 American Community Survey (done by the Census).
Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, MA-NH Metro Area
FULL-TIME, YEAR-ROUND CIVILIAN EMPLOYED POPULATION 16 YEARS AND OVER WITH EARNINGS: Male; Management, professional, and related occupations; Professional and related occupations; Computer and mathematical occupations
$81,233 +/-2,078
By comparison, the median earnings for an adult male, full-time employed, in the Boston metro is $55,087 +/-822.

Winfield made the show.
It's not the same without him.
$81,233 +/-2,078
It's getting close to reasonable, until the cost of housing gets factored in.
It is more than 50% higher than Austin, yet the salaries range from 10 - 12% higher than Austin.
I can't believe Time actually PAID for that content.
I'm sick of John McCain thinking he's the Fonz with bis smelly brown leather jacket
Wow. Just...wow.
I don't usually follow links over to Time. And I don't think I will ever again.
