    NFL Week 11 2008

    The fourteen yard clutch catch on the go ahead drive may have been the play of the day for Peyton. Great agility to stay in bounds after taking a shot and continue on for the first down. Here's hoping Shanahan doesn't screw up, Peyton is too talentedEdited by: Quiet Speed

    The Return of Mikey Vick

    If he gives up on playing quarterback, I pick San Diego. This is right up caste bigwig Randy Mueller's alley. I'd be willing to wager Mueller was responsible for Marcus Vick's time in Miami.

    NFL Week 10 2008

    I tuned into last night's game just to watch Kurt. That's what I'm talking about. Beautiful. That was an eye poppin' statistic they showed . In forty-five percent of games played he has passed for over 300 yards. Dan Fouts was a distant second at twenty-eight percent. If the movie title...

    The Election

    From several post here, I've come to the conclusion that at the core of Obama's support was the same collection of groups that went into a frenzy and all but lynched the Duke lacrosse team. Think about that for a moment. Runny nose white kids being very prominent in the embarrassment. Have you...

    I often attribute my useless skill of spinning a basketball on one finger to Pistol Pete. Speaking of one-on-one basketball, sometime around the late 1970's the weekly televised NBA game featured, at halftime, a one-on-one showdown between NBA players taped sometime in advance. I believe the...

    I heard a local reporter call Drew a passing savant. Clever.

    Jamarcus Russell

    I was in and out of the Oakland-Saints game yesterday. I have a general rule to never judge anyone on one particular performance. Having said that the Jamarcus Russell crowd must be in a little distress after yesterday's game. Not a pretty sight. Besides his int, erratic throws and fumble, the...

    Economic Crisis unlike 1929 depression

    All questions I've considered. Obama has gotten a lot of mileage from the meltdown even though it looks like the Democrats are up to their necks in the subprime wreck. It's staggering how inept the Republicans and McCain are. Here's a piece that may be old news to many here, but it did...

    Shockey

    I was listening to a morning drive-time radio show. The female co-host stated she didn't know if she would like Shockey or not. After watching the game she said she really likes Shockey. That son-of-a-gun, he kills two birds with one stone. He has an effective game assisting his team to victory...

    Tropical Storm/Hurricane Forecast

    Let me just add that Katrina weakened before it made landfall. Once the storm surge built up (it reach an unbelievable 28 ft. in Mississipp) the decrease in intensity didn't mean jack. It was easy for the water to keep its momentum with lesser winds. All people vulnerable to storm surge please...

    Tropical Storm/Hurricane Forecast

    Beat me to it - Reb. Hopefully it will weaken somewhat before it makes landfall. Just as I was about to gas up yesterday they reset the pump from $3.60 a gallon to 3.80. Gheez! Hanna is a threat to Florida and the east coast now, and there are two more tropical waves behind it that bear...

    This could destroy tennis.

    My initial reaction was the racket would limit the variety of shot making of player(s), reducing tennis, if it became a trend, to just an absolute two fisted unimaginative slugfest. Blah. Granted, it's probably a slim chance that the racket becomes in vogue; anything that increases the chances...

    Tropical Storm/Hurricane Forecast

    Fay's path shows just how unpredictable these storms can be, especially beyond a 2 or 3 day forecast. Hurricane Gustav looks to be heading towards the Gulf of Mexico according to forecast and many computer models. I do not know how many here have to be concern with taking precautions when there...

    Logan Payne, WR

    You've got to be kidding. I heard Tirico's ludicrous comment, but missed Berman's. Just a random thought ... I wonder if Berman has ever caught one football in his entire life.

    Mcnair retires

    Does anybody remember the Ravens firing offensive coordinator Jim Fassel? I suspect that episode was about protecting egos and saving face. A lot of egos were heavily invested emotionally in their man McNair. It came when the McNair led offense was sputtering along. When McNair had a terrible...

    Kevin Walter

    No argument here about David. Nevertheless, on the touchdown coverage was fairly tight. Execution by Schaub and Walter was impeccable. It's encouraging that the wrath of the people you speak of are properly aimed at David. Last year someone posted an article where the nincompoop author blamed...

    Kevin Walter

    Matt Schaub came out throwing to Kevin early and often in last night's game. Three receptions on the opening drive culminating with a 26 yard TD strike. He finished with six receptions for 100 yds. He performed with such ease and command that he really looks like he is at an elite level and at...

    Young Girl Thanks Russians

    It's been pretty much a blitz of selective news in favor of President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia on Fox News. That is why the video below of an interview with a young girl who was in South Ossetia at the time the bombing started is surprising. Video
