I 90

What a kick in the head that was. Both of those teams are "fringe" top 25 and could dent any ACC pretender's record. There are losses out there for both the Seminoles and Tech that will further diminish the image of the conference. And West Virginia-Maryland, what a story of program trajectories. Wasn't RR rumoured to be looking at other jobs because Morgantown was a tough sell in recruiting ? Wasn't Ralph Friedgen a hot new offensive genius ? The times, they do change. Louisville a favorite over Miami is more evidence of the shifting sands. .

Good multi-league choice. Edible cookie is Pirate. Peanut butter all the way. .

Uh, does that even make sense anatomically, mechanically or any other lee ? I may have to break out some CAD software. .

Linebackers that can't stop the pass on a team that can't stop the run. And it's too late to fix the problem if Spikes isn't the old Spikes. Jeff Posey, all is forgiven. .

Yes, I am aware that Rachael Ray is not a supermodel but she gets out of the kitchen on occasion and actually eats. Her manner isn't for everybody. Some of us however, need her "enthusiastic" guidance. .

Sports Comfortable Shoes Rachael Ray .

Moorman will have a punt returned for a touchdown. During the replay an announcer will comment on how low the punt was for no other reason than it was returned for a touchdown. In an unrelated story, a batter will hit a curve ball for a home run. It will be said to have been hanging. .

What sort of nonsense is this ? Is Marv supposed to cut ten or fifteen guys that seem likely to be hurt during the season and bring them back after the first game so as not to guarantee their salaries ? Is that the kind of foresight that this managerial expert is advocating ? Clearly the work of a visionary genius. .

So it is the mystery then ? Genius resides in the search for meaning ? Is that why I dismissed rap upon hearing over a decade ago, " Come on foxy momma, do as I please, Nibble on my ...., like a rat does cheese". Or has rap embraced the metaphor over those many years ? Even the generally acknowledged worst song in the English language (Stompin' Tom Connor's "The Snowmobile Song") can be accessed on a number of levels, "It's Wintertime and the weather's fine The snow on the woods and fields when I reveal... my snowmobile". An ode to much misunderstood recreation or an old dude singing about his hog, who can tell... If You Need It Good God, what time is it...

I don't want Takeo Spikes making roster decisions if he thinks it's important to keep Vincent. Get healthy and tackle people. Don't speak. .

Tiny Dolphin hands Silly flippers flip flop so Daunte Culpepper .

How can a secondary with the magnificent Travares Tillman possibly suck ? Check yourself. .

Absolute win-win situation. Vincent wants not only to play, but play well. He will probably get into someone else's system long before the six weeks is up. It is no problem, financial or otherwise, to accommodate him. .

Aww, who got to the kid, he's gone all Nuke Laloosh. No Yoda, no nothin'... .

Sigh... You (and they) stay in so much better places than I. .

Takeo Rehab Progress Mile High dug this up yesterday. I hope that the Bills err on the side of caution. .

He made his bones on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I can do without the mental image. Or not. .

Field sobriety test on a boat should be a combine drill. I'd trade for him now. .

Great guy, true professional. Just could not escape the stink of Dolphin. Fair thee well, TV. .

Does BBCA ever run Dennis Potter's final two minis "Karaoke" and "Cold Lazarus" ? The second one might be in Fair and Balanced's wheelhouse. More sci fi than realist flashback in form, Albert Finney's frozen head is in a jar experiencing memories that play as scenes from throughout his life. I remember it more as a near death screenwriter's final dig at an industry and society that he didn't much care for. Potter died in around '95 and didn't get to see the finished work, or so the story goes. .

Ugh... yes, thanks for the find. "Slight limp in his gait"... the "hey, look what I did" moments in pre-season... there is much to fear in so positive an article. His ambitions for this season shouldn't be the most important thing in his or the teams mind. He is far too important - but I guess that's the point. Him pulling up might have been the biggest play of that game. .

I am not sure that Vandy and C. Mich prepare them for Charlie Weis and company (Alabama being life and death to beat Vandy in Tuscaloosa probably means little). Notre Dame has that soft look about them, but are the Wolverines really a match-up that they can't handle ? Strength against weakness when either is on offense ? Makes for an entertaining game. Doesn't make for an upset. .

Matthews had Dickerson on Monday and Marv on Tuesday ? What does that mean for Wednesday and Thursday, Donahoe and a live cougar ? .

And Buffalo born, former model Wendy Malick as Bonsall's wife. Late of "Just Shoot Me", she returns to network television this fall in... in... uh... some other awful crap. .

That was the hook for the short lived " Jack and Bobby " on the WB. Unfortunately when it hit air it went with Wonder Years style voice overs. The cheap bastards probably didn't want the expense of filming in two eras. Jack and Bobby It had the unique oppurtunity to appeal to both a male and female audience; West Wing meets (insert domestic drama here) . "Cold Case" is the closest example currently running. Some of the flashbacks have casting so effective that it creeps me out. .
