I don't see them having a let down. They've been battling back from an 0-4 start, and I don't think guys like Spikes and Milloy will let them get unfocused. They should beat down a pretty soft SF team. SF turns the ball over a lot, so I see this as being a great week for the defense and STs.

Gee-zus. It's like rooting for an enema over a colonoscopy.

Houston looked pretty good today, and Oakland just put 40 up on the Titans. Jax could lose either one of those games. The Bills aren't giving up and neither should you. They started 0-4 and they're on an amazing streak of 5 straight games scoring over 33 points. The defense and special teams have been sick, absolutely sick. They needed this win on the road in a tough city, and won. I'm getting loaded and I'm going to enjoy it.

Strictly for comfort....

So if they switched it to an "aborted play" and the Browns get the nine yards, do we lose the sack?

Here in Massachusetts they're into candlepin with the little freaking balls. Talk about unsatisfying. Get this, some lanes don't even serve beer! I mean, come on. How the hell can anyone bowl without beer? It's un-american.

It's like two brothers, 5 years apart, playing basketball. The bigger brother always wins. But, one day, the little brother wins, surprizing the older brother (who was hung over, and didn't really want to play, but the little dude just wouldn't stop freaking whining, so he did it just to get him off his back). The next game, the older brother turns it up a notch and puts the little dude back in his place, and really crushes the little dudes spirit (In your face you little...). Anyway, the Yankees are the older brother, the Sox are the little whiney dude. See what I'm driving at?

You've gotta be pretty bummed with your rotation now, TH. John Halama, Schilling missing the start of the season, a 51 year old Wells. Pretty grim. Did you catch Petey's press conference today?

Alone on the can with the sports page is the only time we are truly free.

It's like the Debbie Downer skit with Rachel Dratch on SNL: Waiter: Good morning! Welcome to the Mickey's Breakfast Jamboree! My name is Billiam, and I'll be serving you today. You guys here on a special occasion? Brother 1: Well, we're here on that new Magical Gatherings family package. We've got the McKusick clan down from Ohio - right, guys? Say Hi! Family: Hiiiii!!!! Waiter: Well, great. Let me tell you Mickey's specials today - we've got steak and eggs, served with some home fries and Mickey waffles. Brother 2: [ excited ] Whoo-oooo! I loves me some Steak and Eggs! Debbie Downer: Ever since they found Mad Cow Disease in the U.S., I'm not taking any chances. It can live in your body for years, before it ravages your brain.

Spent a lot of time on the john reading the sports page, doing the crossword, sleeping...

You're thinking about Sandy Duncan's eye. Carol Burnett didn't have a glass ear.

I used to work at this liquor store in Allston, Mass, I would punch in 30 minutes early, and head straight to the can with the Globe Sports page under my arm. Nothing better than getting paid to take a dump and read the sportspage. Bonus points if the comics/crossword page was on the last page of the sports section. Heady days, heady days.

Tags would still find a way to give them The Lombardi.

"Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species." Evolution IS a result of mutations, random mutations that may lead to a trait that would be beneficial for an organism, perhaps to utilize a new food source expanding its niche, or a slight change in color that allows it to avoid a historical predator. Mutations cause genetic variation, spurring on natural selection and "evolution".

The story says it was an optional assembly. "Students are not required to attend. " I don't think you give high school kids enough credit.

Anyone else think NE$PN is getting almost unlistenable/unwatchable? Between the Boo-yeahs, the Brady Lovefest and the circle jerk for the Red Sox...gee-zus.

Holy smokes! We’re ALL wrong. I completely forgot about Brig Klyce and “panspermia.” There is no creator, and there was no pre-biotic soup, kids. The origin of life comes from…drum roll please…outer space, baby! http://www.panspermia.org/ Modern panspermia suggests that life arrived on earth as bacteria hitching a ride on a comet, seeding the earth. Groooooovy. I mutate and kill bacteria for a living. I hope the microbe God isn’t pissed.

Salad greens are loaded with bacteria, loaded. You're better off eating BBQ ribs.

Uh oh. He's on to us. As a member of the liberal elite, I congratulate you on uncovering our sinister plan to make your children pro-union pro-choice gay-loving commies by ramming hypothesis-based science down their impressionable throats.

I suggest people interested in this debate read The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe Without Design (1986) by Richard Dawkins. In it he disputes William Paley’s Natural Theology (1802), in which Paley argues that the complexity of a watch suggests the evidence of a watchmaker, therefore the complexity of life suggests a higher being had to be involved in its creation. Dawkins shows that Darwin’s process of natural selection is random and not by deliberate design. Review and excerpts: http://www.simonyi.ox.ac.uk/dawkins/WorldO...oks/blind.shtml While I have no have no quarrel with those who want to discuss Intelligent Design or Creationism, I feel that these two theories have absolutely no room as serious curricula in a class teaching a life science. They can adequately be discussed in another forum outside of a science class. I do not “fear” a higher power, and I do not believe that subscribing to the theory of evolution thereby deems one an atheist. The people I work with, and have worked with in the past, represent a large and diverse set of religious beliefs. But they don’t let these private, religious leanings interfere with their belief in the basic understanding of science and scientific principles. Believing in evolution and a higher power are not mutually exclusive, but a religious belief needs to be checked at the laboratory door (and please leave bioethics out of this discussion on evolution). I would welcome being able to live to be 200+ years old. I love my career and to have the opportunity to see what scientific breakthroughs come to light just over the horizon…well, that would be “heaven” to me. A Bills Super bowl win would be neat, too.

Nowhere in the original post, nor in the accompanying article does it mention Christmas.

Chilling. In a thread about a grade-school teacher who was evangelizing to fifth graders (yes, fifth graders), it has drifted to a statement that it is okay to sacrifice rights (and gladly, at that) even if the government is wrong, simply because the government says it needs to. Wow.

His post has nothing to do with Christmas.
