Quoting difficulties, Rick? And I would hope you're doing plenty of sitting or laying down as you recuperate from your surgery. Don't overdo it so soon after being under the knife.

Another Luck interception! Hahaha! Stick a fork in the Colts...they're done! Karmic retribution! Jets look like they, and not the Bills, may be 2nd best team in AFC East.

Awwww...adorable.

Two things I refuse to own...a rally monkey and thunder stix.

Add another interception. Boos raining down on Luck and the Colts look terrible. Karmic revenge for starting the ridiculous deflated ball hooha? Game as ugly as the Angels right now.

The Angels are trying to rope me back in and stoke my hopes but to what end? Let's say they sweep this series with the Astros and position themselves for the second wild card. Judging from their play, it is still a long shot they get past the Royals or the Yankees in the first round. I fear all this late-season push by the Angels does is save Scioscia's job. That's not what I want. Fire Scioscia and bring in Joe Maddon! We had him once and foolishly let him get away.

Diamanda Galás & John Paul Jones "The Sporting Life":

David Gilmore has gone the solo route and had to find a new band and he seems to be doing fine. He just put out another album while Jimmy...

It's the Dome-effect..,take a dome team outside on the grass and they are usually not as effective.

They didn't soundcheck with the regularity of bands today, but they still would put in the occasional effort. For the 1977 tour, I would think they soundchecked before the first gig of each leg of the tour, before the main multi-night runs of Chicago, Landover, NYC, and LA, and for the big stadium shows at Pontiac, Tampa, and Seattle.

^^^Wow...no L-O-V-E for Geno in J-E-T-S land?

THIS! Oh my gawd, the MNF is the worst now. Mike Tirico puts me to sleep. NBC's Sunday Night Football is now the marquee game of the week. The Jets? They are only interesting from a comical disaster-in-the-making aspect. Way too many tv appearances in relation to their actual won-loss record.

Just fooling around, Walter. Tebow is always good for a laugh. I don't think the Cowboys would really do that to their team. Ummm, that's 0 and 2...and it's too early to panic. Seattle hasn't even played a home game yet. Starting out 0-2 on the road isn't that big a deal in the NFL.
