Yep, the song that killed disco. Good tune, even if it is about statutory rape.

Yeah, I guess he hasn't been great. 75.6 rating...9 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Not horrible numbers for a career backup.

Ha! Egg in my face, I guess. In general though, he does take a "holier than thou art" approach to everything he writes, as if he's the ultimate source on football.

Yep, that's TMQ for ya. Ready and willing to critique every sports journalist besides himself.

Donovan has been playing some excellent football lately, expect a great game from him.

McCown's been very good when he's had his chances.

The rationale that they used for Buffalo is that it snows alot (as if we're not used to it by now) and that a lot of people continue to move away.

He's clearly a beast, but there are rumors that he has big attitude problems and, frankly, I'm just not sure his talent will translate to the NFL.

The one in Reservoir Dogs is definitely Stealers Wheel...I'm not aware of any Bob Dylan version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMrm7ZQ0aMA

Oh haha my bad.

The saddest part is that A-rod, Bonds, Clemens...none of them needed steroids one bit! They could have been considered some of the greatest in the history of the game without popping one single pill, or injecting themselves with anything. The only reason they took steroids is because they are narcissists who are never satisfied, and now they have to live with their mistakes. McGwire is a slightly different story because his home run swing was the only thing that he had going for him. He wasn't speedy, he didn't field very well, and he didn't hit for average. Bonds and A-rod....5 tool players, two of the greatest to ever take the field. Both of them are right up there with Willie Mays, but they just screwed it all up. As a baseball fan who can appreciate a great player, it is very very sad/

I Touch Myself is the excellence.

I wish Selig and company had the cojones to do that, but it simply isn't feasible, especially considering that Mcgwire never TECHNICALLY tested positive for anything. Bonds is a different story, but he's done a pretty good job so far of legally pinning the blame on everybody else besides himself. If Selig actually wanted to wipe the records clean, there would be way way too much red tape. And when it comes to Arod, the information on him was obtained illegally. The results of the 2003 testing was never supposed to be revealed, so the players union would be all over MLB like a pack of wild dogs if they tried to make Arod face any sort of justice. Bottomline is, the best we can do is put a mental asterisk next to their names in the record books. The true justice is that none of these creeps will probably ever make the hall of fame.

They resigned Luke McCown. Or maybe Josh McCown. One of the McCowns.

I think the term "I wanted to see Vanek skate" implies "I wanted to see Vanek play", not actually anything about his skating abilities.

Yeah, since it's an opinion piece, I don't file it under "journalism". But damn, it was a weird (and pointless) opinion piece. Why does she insist on sexualizing the first family like that?

Fair enough.

Actually, he was minding his own business when the cup got thrown at him.

Yeah buddy, I'm all for a moratorium. I'm two and half hours away from Buffalo, but food-wise I might as well be a million miles away. Everything sucks here in Ithaca.

Well, I was born in 1989. None of my friends has ever known the answer to it, but I guess for people who were alive in 81 it's common knowledge?

Ding ding ding. Really takes the wind out of my sails when the first person gets it right.

Trivia question (don't cheat and look it up): Which 80s hit was the first video ever played on MTV?

As of the last cencus in 2000, Buffalo dropped from the 45th largest metropolis to the 54th. We'll be in the 60s by 2010, and our population will be less than it was in 1900.

Four times, Deano? You've gotta start hanging out with some more savory people.

Tubthumping, by Chumbawumba. They probably aren't considered a one hit wonder in the UK, but they are here in the states.
