    Excellent formulation...'bout sums it up.

    Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin

    Watched the replay. At least in the last part of the fight Vlad seemed to be carrying Povetkin. The last two rounds Vlad could have turned it up and gotten Povetkin out of there if he had he really wanted to do so. If the fight is in Kiev he may well have.

    2013 NFL Season Week 5

    Gotta love how Danny has overcome the odds and continues to prove himself. I distinctly remember one of those NFL draft magazines sniffing something to the effect of "Danny Woodhead has no assets that would make him an NFL prospect." I'd like to take the idiot that wrote that and rub his nose...

    2013 NFL Season Week 5

    Some physicists posit that there may be an infinite number of universes and infinite versions of ourselves living in them. Am I possibly stuck in some sort of seam where I wake up each day in a different, slightly more bizarre, universe? This is mind boggling. I need Morgan Freeman to explain it...

    Ah shoot I missed it. Up and down day for Chris, the TD makes it more up than down. Dare I say he's showing some of that elusive (for whites) and hard to define "upside"?

    Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin

    I just didn't like the way Vlad was throwing his punches. He didn't seem to have his customary form and crispness to his shots, especially his right cross, which is a sign of a fighter getting older. He should have had Povetkin out of there, but maybe he was carrying him a little as Ambrose...

    Pffft. Vlad should hang 'em up. He won't prove anything by contiuing.

    Vlad's limbering up at bit now. Looking more like the old Vlad.

    Vlad is looking 37 years old.

    Not one of Vlad's better fights. Not looking that good so far. Winning ugly.

    Was Povetkin the inspiration for the Joe Palooka cartoon character?

    Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin

    Rather sad sounding Russian song for Povetkin's ring entrance. Lampley slip of the tongue calls Vlad Klit-Ko. Announcers aren't even at the event. They're calling the fight from Florida. Oy, always the bottom line. Always. Oy.

    Wladimir Klitschko vs. Alexander Povetkin

    I wish I could be there. I spent 3 1/2 years in Europe and visited a number of places, but never made it to a Slavic country. Couldn't, really, because they were all behind the Iron Curtain back then. You look at the weigh-in video and you see the same faces you see in Eastern Front war...

    Some casual and not so casual everyday observations at work

    Many years ago after getting out of the army I took a trip up into Alberta province (from Northern California) with a friend whose family had business interests up there. At some point in the trip I let him wear my U.S. Army field jacket because he thought it made him look cool to the babes. We...

    Great news on Collie. Now let's get Shipley where he belongs, on an NFL roster. There must be some teams out there who's receiver's upside hasn't outpanned (you heard that phrase here first) and need another capable vet.

    The guy's just trying to coin some new Scoutspeak. I don't think "detailed" will get picked up though. Doesn't have enough upside.

    Great to see Maehl get some catches under his belt. I was afraid he was headed for a two and out on the practice squad in Houston. Just hope more success for him doesn't make Riley Cooper seem expendable.

    I can remember Don expressing doubts about Schaub a while back. Part of his problem is he just doesn't seem to have the body language of a leader. He spends too much time looking down at the ground or staring off into the distance. As the game goes on he seems to become even more disengaged and...

    The criticism of Kaepernik is mounting. I stumbled onto the NFL Network just as a black guy and two chicks were critiquing Kaepernik's tangerine sport coat that he wore to some award show. I suppose you have to find something to talk about when you have no idea what the read option is.

    Missed the game, but it sounds like Manning did put on a clinic, with the help of his receivers, who were where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. Makes it a lot easier for the QB. Contrast that to the discombobulated crew Aaron Rogers had to work with on Sunday. I'd...

    No ****e. Example Pacman Jones playing for the Bengals. They kept calling him his given name Adam and avoided calling him Pacman. I wonder why. And not to be outdone the Packers had three year prison stint drug trafficker Johnny Jolly in the green and gold. What stories of redemption! I'm so...

    James Jones wit dat upside quits on a slant route as Rodgers throws it to the spot he's supposed to be and the Bengals get the easy catch instead of Jones. Is Jones on a pout this week?
