My condolences to Pats fans....but it was a great run this season anyway. Congrats to NY Giants fans....Strahan and Manning were just plain unstoppable! Except for that non-fumble call, it was a pretty good game I thought. Tom Petty was great, too! Best halftime in years, IMHO.

The Pats Defense never got off the bus. Right on!

NE got totally ripped off by that 2nd quarter fumble NE obviously recovered [the defensive player was immediately hit by a NY offensive player; thus down by contact] but the referees waited for like an hour before making the call. If they did what they are paid to do, NE ball and it would have turned the tide against NY. I guess the league was more interested in another Manning winning the Super Bowl. More press with two brothers winning back-to-back. Such bullshit. The NFL sucks.

How old are you Dan? Ask him about Barry Bonds....

Gossip usually does, Dan.

Depends. Do you mean it? I do.

Lately, I have been seeing two planets in the Southeastern sky just before dawn. One is much larger than the other and as the Earth moves on its orbit they have changed positions in the sky. The smaller planet is now "above" the bigger planet. I'm guessing the bigger one is Saturn and the smaller one may be Venus...even Mars. Does anyone here know which planets they might be? Thank you in advance. Tim

Here's something only an English teacher can love: The Hokey Pokey Original Lyrics Put your left foot in, Your left foot out, Your left foot in, And shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey And turn yourself around That's what it's all about. Thou Hokey Pokey Shakespearean Style O proud left foot, that ventures quick within. Then soon upon a backward journey lithe. Anon, once more the gesture, then begin: Command sinistral pedestal to writhe. Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke. A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl. To spin! A wilde release from heaven's yoke. Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl. The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt. Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.

Patriots vs Rams, 2001 The Rammies lost and rightly so. They didn't deserve to be there in the first place. Worst NFC representative beat down since Chicago pretended to be a Super Bowl caliber team in 2007. What an embarrassment that team was. Pats were far superior against the Rammies.

Sounds great....just not my cup o'tea. Fair?

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. What a loser.

Too unstable a part of the World for me. Besides, I figure on hanging it up in five or six years.

Pats by 14.

Beavis and Butthead are cartoon characters.

And my comment was made in jest because you can only live in Self Delusion Land to believe that Bonds is the only one getting attacked in the press. and as far as Tejada goes, the fact that he's not only kept his mouth shut but has virtually disappeared might have a lot to do with how much media attention his legal problems have gotten. If you mount a full-court defense like Clemens, then your words and actions get dissected because you are putting them out there for dissection. When they come off as illogical, questionable ethically, or obnoxious and aggressive, people have cause to write that his protestations are not credible. On the other hand, if you keep your mouth shut, there won't be anything to say until the Feds come back with an indictment for perjury, at which point I'd expect to not only see a lot of negative attacks on Tejada as a cheater and liar, but you might even see some attempts to rehabilitate one Raphael Palmiero, if it indeed turns out that he might have plausibly gotten a "tainted" B-12 shot from a man facing perjury charges over his own use of steroids. C'mon, Dan. Bonds is the only one who has had to endure the sheer wieght in numbers of decidedly negative and blantantly unbalanced press stories aimmed at attacking him. In comparison, Clemens and Tejeda are just babes in the woods. You know it and I know it.

OK. But what would it look like?

What gets me is the woman who called 911 because she said she was too drunk to drive home. When nobody responded she got back to her house only to be cited for DUI on her front porch. Now I don't mind saying so, but isn't that more than just a little unfair? Kinda like double dipping: We want you to be safe and then responsible for your drinking, but we're going to bust your ass anyway? WTF is that?

How would I live my life if I could afford it? In a fully landscaped home on a pine covered hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The kitchen, dining room and living room would afford fantastic views. Honey-stained pinewood planks would dominate the ceiling, walls and floors. A granite top kitchen with an island in the middle would accent the stainless steel sink, stove, and kitchen appliances. The spacious living room's fireplace would be river rock from floor to ceiling. Four huge bedrooms including a Master Suite with a wet bar, huge walk in closet, a two sink bathroom with a river rock grotto leading to the shower with a sauna off to the side. All would be lighted with inset ceiling accent lights on dimmer switches. A multimedia stereo system with huge speakers along with ceiling speakers throughout the house with some kick-ass sound. Straight Ahead Jazz would be playing constantly. Classical Baroque Trumpet for the morning repast would be a must. A redwood deck surrounds the outside of the house and the outdoor kitchen highlights the Jacuzzi. The temperature controlled 400 bottle fully stocked wine cellar would be downstairs next to the subterranean 4-car garage and the Cable TV/movie screening room which seats 50. A fully appointed 2-bedroom Mother-in-Law with a kitchen would be available for visitors out in the beautifully landscaped backyard with beach access and stunning views. Most of all, it would include expansive views, peace and serenity and the best food money can buy. __________________ Last edited by GoodSpeak

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning. It's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt. God works in mysterious ways. After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers. The woman says, "So, you're a man That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in peace for the rest of our days." Flattered, the man replies, "Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign from God!" But you're still at fault...women shouldn't be allowed to drive. The woman continues, "And look at this - here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." She hands the bottle to the man. He nods his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle and hands it back to the woman. She takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it to the man. The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replies, "No, thanks. I think I'll just wait for the police...." Figures.

A man has 50-yard-line tickets for the Super Bowl. As he sits down, another man comes down and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him. "No", he said, "the seat is empty". "This is incredible", said the man. "Who in his right mind would have a seat like this for the Super Bowl, the biggest sporting event in the world, and not use it ?" Somberly, the man says, "Well... the seat actually belongs to me. My wife was supposed to come here with me, but she passed away. This is the first Super Bowl we have not been to together since we got married in 1967." "Oh I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. But couldn't you find someone else - a friend or relative, or even a neighbor - to take the seat?" The man shakes his head, "No. They're all at the funeral."
