Great article in the LA Times this morning about the friendship between Belichick and Harbaugh and how BB helped Harbaugh land the Ravens' head coaching job.

That age in the middle could truly be deadly for Baltimore with the two tight-ends and Welker working that area to death.

Tebow is so coachable because he is so humble.  Say what people will about his religiosity, but it does help his approach to the game.

Very interesting that someone incapable of using proper punctuation and compelled to shout in ALL-CAPS like a two-year-old slamming a keyboard calls somebody else a moron.  My, how the American education system has fallen.

Did Alabama's offense show potential?  Yes.  But did they fulfill said potential?  Absolutely not.  One touchdown, late in the game, after all those drives deep into LSU territory, is lackluster at best and pathetic at worse..

Obviously my point about Oklahoma State went way over your head.  I never claimed that the Cowboys would win such a game.  Maybe they would have done so, maybe they would not.  A shutout I seriously doubt.  Claiming definitively that would be the case is a perfect example of exactly the same kind of BS hubris upon which the whole BS BCS system is based.  It is a shame that the BCS deprived us of the opportunity to see that game because of no playoff.

What does the NFL think it is, the NBA (with its growing inconsistencies and star treatment)?

I, too, have been very disappointed with the Bucs.

Wherefore art thou, proper tackling technique?  The NFL will always have helmet-to-helmet contact--it's the nature of the game--but if players were taught how to tackle properly we could still have the hard-nosed, tough game we love without nearly the problems.

Would so love to see the Pack go undefeated and shut up the Dolphins.

How ridiculous a passing offensive shootout would a Patriots-Packers Super Bowl be?

Rodgers is heads-and-tails above everybody else in the league right now.  As you said, that's an amazing statement considering who else is still around.

Oh, I know that Perry being the target wasn't he problem, just thought it was an amusing aside.

Couldn't agree with you more about the hypocrisy on both sides of the aisle and the spectrum.

First off, love Tito's Vodka.  It's among my favorites, along with Russian Standard and Grey Goose.  You wouldn't think vodka and Texas, but it is great.

Used to listen Chris Russo on the "Mike & the Mad Dog" show on WFAN in New York (and many of the FAN's other programs) when I lived in Connecticut and Long Island.  Says something about the quality of their commentary/coverage that I who hate all NY teams enjoyed and appreciated a NY sports talk station that much.

Did you notice that the person to whom DeSean "The Idiot" Jackson threw the ball was also black?

Couldn't agree more with some of your education comments.  Much of what the Teachers' Union does is completely in conflict with the advancement of the students its members are supposed to educate (I come from a family of teachers, so I've seen first hand).  And the lack of parental responsibility is appalling.

What I don't understand is your implication that comes with, "Excuse me, I thought this was America, where even successful, famous men like Franco have the inalienable right to be tone-deaf assholes if they so choose."  Regardless of whether one agrees with the punishments levied on Harris, I know that you know that no such rights have been violated.

I hadn't heard the quote until you mentioned it--love it.

Thank you for reading!
