Saw The King's Speech yesterday...oh my god. Simply one of the best films I've ever seen. Certainly, the best period piece. Perhaps I'm overreacting, but it's an absolute crime if Colin Firth doesn't win Best Actor for his portrayal of Albert.

I'm no expert but I just have to disagree with this assessment on tight ends. It seems like all the good teams in today's NFL have an above average tight end. Gronkowski and Hernandez set the world on fire as mid range targets after Moss left New England. The Saints immediately got better toward the end of the season once Graham started contributing in the red zone. At the best, a good pass catching tight end can be a major contributor. At the least, he can be a nice safety valve. At the moment, we have neither.

J.K. Rowling better hope that "mudblood" doesn't become an offensive slur in the future.

I think it's more about the manner in which he was rediscovered. People like the story because it sort of epitomizes what we like to think of as the American Dream...on your knees Monday and on top of the world Tuesday.

Day 6 and still going strong! And I've been pinned!

Ok, thanks for the lesson, Ebenezer. By the way..."he was from the poor side of town, the man held him down"...is that something you actually heard him say or are you just projecting your own ****?

Ummm, the NBC Nightly News just reported on the story, including interviews with the man. Still think it's a hoax?

He was almost correct. The Anti-Christ arrived in 1994. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Bieber

You guys are making me jealous. My family (up for new years) all had scrambled eggs with pepperoni this morning. That was painful.

And that would be a bad thing?

I've always figured the world would end with the Bills leading the Cowboys 38-3 with 30 seconds left to go in the Superbowl.

True enough, but there also isn't a long history of teams tacitly excluding white coaching prospects from the interview process.

The Cowboys know about the rule. The reason that Sherman's interview is insulting is because THEY chose to make Garrett's impending hiring public. The rule isn't perfect, but it's a good rule and worth respecting the integrity of.

The Cowboys are making a mockery of the Rooney Rule, and not the other way around. The purpose of the rule was to at least make sure that minority head coaches could get their names into the context of hiring, instead of owners simply abiding by the "old boys club".

Actually, I have no idea, but these kinds of things don't tend to change overnight.

No, I believe he's correct. Hanged was discovered by theoretical grammatacists in 1996.

I guarantee that I'll be honest and not have failure to report. 2 lentil meals done, out of 1,095.

And so it begins...

Some money from your wallet?

Let's say...Keanu Reeves. Some have called me good looking, but really I just look like a jackass.

No, but it's largely irrelevant to the conversation that folks were having about air safety.

I guess I'm old fashioned, but I just love the feeling of an actual book in my hands. I tried reading on my dad's Kindle a couple days ago and it just felt weird.

Those of you applauding the old man (and I don't necessarily disagree with you ), I have a question. Would you feel the same way if it was a 15 year old kid punching a 68 year old man? How about the old man punching a 15 year old girl? If it's all a matter of public safety, then you shouldn't feel any differently about the alternate situations. I suspect many people just relish seeing a punk get his.

I lost a bet this past summer, so while out at the bars for a weekend I had to introduce myself to every woman with "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste." I'd like to say it worked. It didn't.

Whom's asking? Austin Powers? Or was that ripped off from something older?
