Did ya'll know that Peter Weller is a professor at Syracuse and he's working on a Ph.D in Rome and the Itailian Renaissance? There's a short article about him in this month's Wired, though it's not yet online. This NY Daily News blurb will have to do.

He needs to take a leave of absence, and come back to blast the hell out of that stupid rock'em sock'em robot that can't manage to take down the truck.

Which one? There seem to be a lot of them out there these days.

I like him too. This is a disturbing trend.

I do not care for Tom Brady at all. I don't think he's goodlooking, and ever since I saw him nodding at the State of the Union address a while back, which I tuned in for 2 or 3 minutes, I have thought he was a real dork. Also he was mean to Bridget Moynihan, whom I don't know, but still.

Oh, Peyton Manning said something mean to his former Canadian kicker, which is a strike against him, but van der whatshisface seemed like kind of a jerk anyway, so I don't hold it against him.

God, this is a terrible post. Someone make me stop.

In reverse order:

(1) I think that Vandersomething started it by saying something to the papers about the Colts not being able to win the big game. Not Bright. Kickers are to be seen and not heard. He's lucky that a roid raging back-up linebacker didn't rip him apart at the first special teams practice.

(2) (a) Tom was mean to Bridget? Well, that is a strike against him. Bastard. AoN, the bartender where I was Friday night looked a lot like Jill Hennesey. Fortunately, I was able to minimize my ogling, because Mrs. Not Bob was also there.

(2) (b) Maybe Tom was just nodding politely during the State of the Union.

(3) Agreement with me is so horrible?

Rick Dees is also a professor at Syracuse.

It's a fortunately, unfortunately thing.

... the Bears are, despite their record, a poor shadow of the Shuffling Monsters of 1985.

I am now chuckling quietly. Two weeks from now I will laugh out loud at you. This team is, admittedly, a mere shadow of the Monsters of the Midway, a collection of shining Titans never again to be collected in one place. However, they can and will turn some ponies into a tasty snack come 2/4.

God help me, I'm fucking posting about football. And on a morning when Hank had the audacity to post a picture of a bacon martini. The Gods are weeping.

That bacon martini was some nasty shit. I think I threw up a little in my mouth when I saw it, especially about the rim job with bacon grease. Unappealing.

Agreement with you is not so horrible. I just cherish my mean streak like my new kitten cherishes her leopard-printed pompom. I'm not comfortable unless I taste a smidge of its bitterness.

Tom may have just been being polite but he looked like a dork in any event.

I think I have mentioned this before but I did a test shoot with pre-Law and Order Jill Hennesey and her twin back in Toronto in the late 80s. She went on to fame and fortune, and I went on to all this.

Bitch never did a calendar though, right?

Imagine how her twin must feel.

Same. It made me cringe for the rest of the game. I hate Payton Manning.

Tom Brady has been clutch. Tom Brady is a winner. But last night, during crunch time, Tom Brady choked. He threw two of the worst passes during his last two drives I've ever seen. One was picked and the other should have been.

I am suffering from Manning overdose and it'll only get worse, but thank God I don't have to hear about Belichick's genius for another two weeks. It's too bad no one will ever mention Brady sucking it at the end of the game or Belichick's inability to hold on to an 18 point lead, but I'll take what I can get.

Bullshit argument. If you win the Superbowl, you are champion. Period. There are no degrees of champion based on who you play. Either you win it all or you don't.

I'll mention it. They all sucked it, much of the second half. Maybe it was fatigue, but the defense fell apart, and couldn't stop Manning. The offense dropped balls--WTF Reche Caldwell, you can tightrope the endline but when it's thrown right to you you drop it? And what happened to the running game? You can't take more time off the clock with the running game and 3:24 left?

Brady's last pass was terrible, and he forced it because he had too little time after failing to call a timeout two plays before (or one). The only solace I take is that there have been at least one bigger choke in the last three years, and a Boston team came out on the good end of that.

Yeah, that's why people are still talking about the 2001 Ravens and the 2004 Buccaneers like they're football immortals.

My (now grown up) "new" kitten has decided he likes chewing through the side of the food bag. Even though, not even three feet away, there is a dish full (OK, half-full) of food from the bag.

This means I'm, like, going to have to put the food away.

My. life. is. so. difficult.
