And you were thinking that yesterday's college lineup was wanting? All I know is that when you need the big boys in the NFL to step up and do the right thing they'll crawl into a corner and do the wrong thing. I guess this is the football equivalent of

Another end to the work grind rears its sumptuous, ball-tingling head. We're eleven weeks in already, folks. We've laughed, we've cried, we've made fun of each other, we've masturbated to comments that have received more than 6 likes, we've disparaged certain commenters over the P.A. system at our workplaces- We...we've

Well, this one looked a heck of a lot better at the beginning of the year than it does now. Were you aware that Red Miller passed away in late September? The old fella made it all the way to 89, he did. "Who the hell is Red Miller?" you

[scans dessert menu] Oh my, look what we have here! That Creme Brulee looks wonderful. Oooooo, maybe I'll go for the Baked Alaska-I've heard great things about it from my yoga instructor. [looks to bottom of menu] Hmmm. An unopened sugar packet on a cow's tongue? Why would they even

Well, here she is-the meat of the week 10 sked. Will it be an overcooked skirt steak cut along the grain ("for extra chewiness!") served with a side of store-brand ketchup or will it be a slow-roasted bone-in prime rib seasoned (the previous evening, of course) with sea salt, cracked

Two games at the 4 spot last week. Why must we suffer such foolishness? Another game has graced the second round and even though my abacus is in the shop I can tell you that this increase in tilts of 33% (50%?, 65%?) makes everything okay. It makes the chili

I can't say that any of these games are that compelling to me. Will that stop me from eye-balling the hell out of these fixtures? You know the answer. What the hell else is there to do on a Sunday? Church? This isn't the 1950's when attendance was compulsory. No,

The Astronauts did a thingy last night according to spurts pages everywhere. When do you think they'll come back down to earth? Will Buzz Aldrin officiate at the wedding between that guy and his girliecake? How much motorboating will Verlander do this off-season? More than the usual amount? The questions

Did you know that Jerome Bettis is still from Detroit and still played for the Steelers? He retired 12 years ago and somehow this always gets mentioned. It's like he played basketball at Harvard for god's sake. Now that's something worth talking about! Let's do a little rundown of a

Two games at the 4 spot! Two games??? And women talk about their right to choose being compromised! What of the lonely, whitebread, devastatingly handsome, small town huckleberry up in The Canada? What about his right to flip back and forth between five or six games being played? I'm a taxpayer,

We're nearing the half-way mark of the regular season. Let that sink in for a moment. Are you done? Good. I feel like time is speeding by myself. I book-learned somewhere that as one ages this feeling occurs because there are no longer any 'firsts' to mark the passage of

Well, well, well-here we are again. Rise and shine, beasties because the NFL has got a treat for you! I'd suggest you have a bland breakfast of some sort since you don't want it causing too much damage on the way back up. So tapioca it is! Man, do I
