Postseason football variety

It's going to be a quick one this week ladies and gentlemen, being as how as soon as I'm done with this I'm jumping in the car for a vacation.   SUPER BOWL WRAP-UP For once I am glad I was wrong. The Saints deserved to win. I'm sure by the time you read this you'll be over talking about it so I'm just going to offer a few thoughts. If I had to hear the announcers mention about how …

Football variety: Super Bowl edition

Welcome, everyone, to Super Bowl Weekend. We have a lot to discuss so let's get down to it. NBA SNIPPETS The New Jersey Nets are 4-43. No need for me to make a joke. Kobe Bryant has become the career point's scorer for the Lakers. Becomes uber impressive when you consider that Magic Johnson, Jerry West, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar have played as Lakers. What else has Kobe done that they didn't? He raped a girl.....so there's that.

Football variety: off-week edition

MMA Brock Lesnar will return to the sport, and he will do it this year. This is big news consider last November the UFC Heavyweight champion was questioning not only if he would return but if he could beat his ailment. You see, Lesnar was suffering from diverticulitis. Basically it's a bacterial infection in your intestines that kills your immune system and just sends your body on the fritz. The champ at one point in the sickness lost 40 pounds …

You’re right!  Every runner, in my opinion, is a real runner.

Congratulations on the AG place! In all of your accomplishments, don’t forget what it was like to think a mile was an impossible distance. Getting to the six-mile point takes a lot of training and preparation to acclimate the mind and musculature to so much pounding. Your…

Sounds like it!

I heading out on my 9 miler before my 10 hour work day right now. Do I have what it takes?

I wonder with Griffey if he’s not in game shape enough to play a significant number of minutes.  If you look at his minutes played this year, he’s never played a starters minutes.

Sometime between now and their first game in this year’s NIT, the Illini need to practice taking a shot before the game clock expires.

Can we please refrain from ever EVER comparing running a marathon to childbirth? Especially when the comparison is made by someone without a vagina? Kthx.

SFJon avatar

I think we are in.  But being blown out again by OSU might give the selection comittee doubts. I dunno anymore.

Mark: You raise some interesting points. I’m impressed by anyone who runs a marathon, no matter their finishing time.  It’s the commitment people show to accomplishing a goal they set for themselves that impresses me most. A sign I saw at the Illinois Marathon last year along…

Awesome looking lineup… I’m excited.  Another vote towards the Smoking Popes rocking out at the first Laughing Prairie Dog festival… it was a pretty good energy, and plenty of groups considering the cheap ticket.  The rest all look pretty good for the ticket price as well.  …

(Not to talk too much, but I would delight in being proven wrong.  I hope that there are many vegan dishes, and next time I am there, I will ask the owner for dishes that are vegan that are offered and post them as a comment here,…

I understand the disclaimer, and I appreciate it, but given the title of the article, it would be nice to have more of a talk with the owner and less of a “to the best of my knowledge” thrown in the article as an aside, when vegan…

Nate, No offers to crash but I was wondering if you’d ever considered publishing the plans to your trailer.  You might make a dollar or two especially after you go solar! Let me know if you do it. Sincerely, Don

Not sure if it’s been mentioned here, but they’ll also be playing the Old Rock House in St. Louis on May 22

Interesting about who owns land in the path of the Olympian Drive extension. My comment was in response to ‘Tony C’s remarks about the I-74 expansion. Just who owns land in the 150 [BloomingtonRd]-I-74 corridor?? Because the corridor is zoned for future use as Commercial/Industrial, I am…

Wow, great article.  I wish you the best in your endeavors and hope you have a nice trip.

Um. Yeah — check out that “General Disclaimer” at the bottom of the article, folks.

As an adoptee, I can empathize—although I’m not an international adoptee, and I apologize if I’m assuming too much on the nature of your adoption.  You can feel what you feel, but don’t be too hard on yourself.  When I started a search for my birth family,…

I highly doubt a single dish is vegan at Bombay.  Most Indian dishes use Ghee(essentially clarrified butter) as the base fat. While I guess they could make some dishes with canola oil, I would for sure ask the exact ingredients before I consumed if you are following a vegan diet.

Nice, killer work pretty man…the channeled, one sided collaborated rhyming poem.  An oft forgot genre.   The ruckus was felt even here in my living room, which is normally a safe haven from ruckus.

wait, I was commenting on the wrong thing - sorry - he’s actually a gigantic sellout but who really knows what all this is about.

If the democrats didn’t have Kucinich, and the republicans didn’t have Ron Paul, where would both these parties really stand? These men actually mean what they say.

Joel, thank you for the opportunity to answer these questions and have them posted here. I really appreciate it! Yes, I was thrilled to see that Rep. Kucinich flipped today, so he will has committed to voting yes for health reform. I appreciated his comments which seem…

It appears to me that your reviewer did all that could be expected: she paid her money, saw the play and conveyed her impressions. The review (on the whole, laudatory) may have been rushed, in a generous attempt to publicize the production while it was still available…
