Technically it's a phrase not a word.

Wow. Good point about Family Guy, or about 5 other shows that have me shaking my head.

PC, PC, PC.

Comment on National Pundits Make Farve, Not Vikings The Story

2009-11-01T06:22:40Z

I think your wrong and don't really know what happened in Green Bay when Brett left. Brett can still pull plays out of the unknown where most QB's would just take the sack. He is a headline, but the Vikings have a defense and a running game that would help any quarterback, but he has the extra spark to make the game unpredictable and fun.

Letterman is fine; he never was the “Family Values” type. Yes, he probably cheated on his girlfriend now wife. But at least he does go around claiming he is Mr. “Family Values” like some of our politicians/ preachers (can you just see the grin on all “Fake News” reporters/ commentators and the Palin fringe). This has been a tough summer, for Dave, for our economy but at least he did not end up on the “Republican 2009 Summer of Love” list: Assemblyman, Michael D. Duvall (CA), Senator John Ensign (NV), Senator Paul Stanley (TN), Governor Mark Sanford (SC), Board of Ed Chair, and Kristin Maguire AKA Bridget Keeney (SC). Did I miss NOW memo of outrage with Senator John Ensign? Are they even relevant anymore.

Comment on Peavy Gives Sox Fans Early Look At 2010

2009-09-26T16:51:07Z

Although we moved to Tennessee in 1969, I still live and die with the Sox (and the Bears & Black Hawks to a lesser degree). I have coached baseball, both team and individual, for 40 years (out of 30 plus 'students' drafted, 2 made it all the way...1 still pitches for the Angels) so I know a little bit about the sport. I too am excited about the Sox rotation. The most important thing Peavy brings is the relief to Buehrle form having to be the man. since his perfection, he has been a 'wisher' not a pitcher. Remember what happened when Jack Black left: Alvarez and the our 3 starter became 5s at best.
Regardless, it won't make any difference as long as Dye is in right field (the Cubs did not go to the World Series because idiot Zimmer made Jack Clark MVP by leaving a crippled Andre Dawson in right field), and Quentin stays with a stance and attitude that, at age 67 I could pitch around, and Ozzie continues to point his finger at the Cuban Missle. Last year, I thought
the Missle would become the best player we ever had! Really! Now he may become the best for some other team. If Ozzie really thinks he was a better shortstop, Ozzie doesn't know anything! I always thought with no range and a weak arm, Ozzie was a weakness on those teams. Rios can hit .240, but not if we have to use him in right field. So, let's hope for a better 2010!!!

Comment on White Sox Have No Defense

It takes a toll on your pitchers. If mark Buehrle has to worry every time he throws a pitch if it is going to be caught, it takes away from his effort.

Defensively, this team does nothing to inspire their pitcher's confidence.

Can't remember a Sox team this bad at fielding--at least one that was contending. Of course, the fact they are contending at this point is an accident of the division's overall performance level.

Last year, at after 117 games, they were a half-game out at 13 games above .500. Forget '07, but in '06 they were 25 games above .500 after 117 games...and 5½ games out.
