Best bumper sticker I've seen in a while: "Stop putting words in my mouth" -- God.

In all fairness, you don't usually get a staph infection from the doctor. Bacteria is all around and it's largely a matter of washing well and being very careful with cuts, wounds, etc.I had one last year and learned the hard way. Greg Lloyd had the same thing with his ankle. Can't expect the doctor to follow a guy around 24/7.

Yaknow, on I-90 on the NYS Thruway, there's an overpass with a sign that says "Dyke Road." I keep forgetting to bring my camera when I go out to visit the relatives. And, by the by, that half of the family is from Holland.

No, they're more in the Lenny and Carl role. Jerry Sullivan = Kent Brockman John Guy = Moe

RW = Monty Burns Russ Brandon = Smithers

Really, Pat? In English, as the Bible was originally written? Did He use the split subject-verb form, too? Or are you just a #$%^monger in a suit? I hope you burst.

Nor was she writing in a fake donation to them on her tax return. She's another one who thinks money is the be-all end-all. Sure not defending her b/c when you're in that business you should be expected to know about every dollar that comes in and every dollar that goes out. Watch Delay start his Sgt. Schultz impression. Our gov. in CT, Jodi Rell, is doing something revolutionary. She's not accepting money from corporations, PACs, swag fundraising, etc. Simply taking donations up to the legal limit from persons who so choose to contribute to her campaign. She's also been behind some legislation to make it a public financing with a very reasonably low cap to help remove big money-->corruption from this area. Maybe it's not the best strategy for her, but approval rating is at near 80 percent. I've met her at some NRA events and she seems like a straight shooter. Much better than Delay's ever-growing skeeve-fest. McCain-Feingold was the Dutch boy putting his finger in the dike.

And by MM's version of getting JP "some experience" then we should have a "very good" QB by the middle of the 2011 season.

<Superfan voice> In a fair fight.... Hurricane Katrina? Or.... Mike D-ikkkka? </Superfan voice>

Daley wants another team in his city? <shrug> ... And people in hell want ice water.

The Volga?

An analogy: I have a septic system problem. I call someone who does work in this field. He says it needs to be replaced. They dig the trench really well. They have all the tools and materials assembled at the site. I go to work and come back to find the soil all back in place and the yard beautifully landscaped. But I go inside and the sh-- is backing up into the sink, toilet and shower b/c the pipes weren't connected. You're arguing that this person shouldn't be fired? Yes, TD did some things really right. But he did some things really wrong.

Problem with our team is that since 2000, we've been trying to emulate/be some other team or an amalgum of such. Titans 46 defense and all the glory that was Eddie "I got juked out of my shoes by Chadwick Pennington" Robinson, Patriots via Drew and Milloy, Steelers coaches.... Even our friggin' uniforms show this. We've got the Titans' yoke, the Broncos' gusset stripe, the older-style Patriots' socks.... It's about time we reclaimed our own identity and do what we need to do, rather than what's worked for someone else. In that regard, it's nice to have Marv back in some oversight capacity. We need to decide a direction to go in and consistently build toward it rather than grab up on the Latest, Greatest Things and put them together and hope they work together well.

Hammer --> Nail

Where I live, dubbed the Last Green Valley, there was quite a selection of birds this past fall. Hooded Mergansers (my favorite to watch), a blue heron (I think they're on the endangered list. An absolutely beautiful creature), the usual Canada geese (the dirtiest, loudest creatures ever. I hate them), wood ducks, mallards, and for the first time I've seen them en masse so far from the ocean, seagulls. It's nice to see the numbers of bald eagles, hawks, and these birds rising, but the fact that they're hovering around cities isn't surprising. Lots of food sources.

Hey, don't knock it. *Hic* It's sure worked for Bob Kraft!

KH just made Ty Law a rich, rich man.

MM = Waste of Time

What's even more incredible are the mouthbreathers here who think that this man deserves to start. Me, I don't like a QB who's 22/30 for 23 yards.

Nice one, Kelly!

FG contest against the second-worst team in the league. Is this enough to show TPTB that a real change is necessary?

Oh, how wonderful KH's 3- and 4-yard checkdown passes are! Dink-dunk here and a dink-dunk there....

Wait and see the jack he's going to be offered by some team on overblown reputation* alone. * Read: the My-yami game a few years back where he had 3 INTs on... Ray Lucas.

1) So MM can beat up on a team that is the dregs of the NFL in an effort to make Ralph say, "Oooo! Trick play! Shiny!" in an effort to save his job? 2) The BRILLIANT(!) philosophy of using the pass to establish the run? Even tho this is a so-called "power rushing offense"? 3) God, when Daimon Shelton is near the goal line, how can you not throw it to him? They'll never see that one coming, even when we've done it 10 times this season! 4) To keep Drew Rosenass from demanding an extension for WM this offseason. 5) Holcomb has to pad his stats somehow.

Your first suit? Sh--. Even I've got two. And despite what flitty amateur fashion designers or my s-i-l say, a brown tie looks pretty damn good with a gray suit and a white shirt. Yes. Brown!
