“Come and get me, Benson!”
This is great. Tom Benson had a confrontation with a Saints fan with a camera in the fourth quarter of the Miami game. Benson hit the camera and said something nasty. His bodyguard kept his hand over the camera, while the fan kept saying “Come and get me, Benson! Come and get [...]

Picking a new team…
It seems that the NFL has pretty much decided that the Saints will not be in New Orleans next year.
Neither Dave nor I will root for the San Antonio Saints or the Los Angeles Saints, so it’s time to pick a new favorite team. I’ve put up a poll to get some feedback. [...]

Gambling for Stupids
Point spreads are determined in an effort to attract an equal amount of action (money wagered) on each team. For example, if the Colts are playing the Texans, odds makers will make Indy a 17-point favorite, or Colts -17, or Colts 17. This means if you bet on the Colts, they must win by more [...]

Sunday morning picks
Please note that my picks are who’s going to win, not who is going to cover the spread. The lines are just there to help us get a feel for how the teams match up. My picks are in bold.
Arizona at Dallas (-9.5) – Nine and a half? Sounds about right to [...]

NASA (especially for Koster)
This post is dedicated to Mr. Koster, with whom I had a long conversation not too long ago about NASA’s use of its resources. He felt that federal money spent by NASA was being wasted. I disagreed. NASA’s exploration is necessary for the advancement of science and knowledge in America, I [...]

We’re all going to the zoo tomorrow
Assuming the Great British Weather doesn’t decide to throw down the rain all day, we’ve decided to all go to the zoo tomorrow. We’ve recently bought a new car, one of these (not brand new, I’m not made of money! It’s 4 years old) and haven’t had an opportunity to load up for a family [...]

World of Warcraft
Warning: Dork alert. Be advised.
I’ve been secretly following the development of the new expansion to World of Warcraft. While it’s true that I haven’t really missed the game since I quit several months ago (about 1 week after reaching level 60), I was afraid that the expansion would be neat enough to suck [...]

NFL Notes
So you don’t believe in the Jags? Jacksonville (4-2) owns Quality wins over of the Bengals, Seahawks and at Pittsburgh, with their losses coming to Denver and Indy. They boast a top-five defense, which held mighty Peyton Manning to only 175 yards. Also, go ahead and count on the them being in the playoffs: They [...]

Sony h.earâ„¢ Stereo Headphones MDR-J10/BLUE
What a piece of junk. This is the second pair of these Sony earbuds that has broken on me, and I am forced to use those branding white iPod earbuds. I hate wearing those, its like wearing a badge that says, “Look at me, I’m hip! I’m on the bandwagon, hooray!” [...]
