Steelers 24, Cowboys 20

In a weekend that saw the sad, sad Miami Dolphins fall to 0-6 (to the previously 0-4 Bills), the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Dallas Cowboys, 24-20 to go to 5-1 and take a solid lead in the AFC North over the 3-2 Baltimore Borings. Rookie Ben Roethlisberger completed his last 11 passes and Kimo von […]

Assault Weapons Ban

Jeff's notes on last night's debate (I watched the Yankees/Red Sox and unpacked some more before Carey came over) include this snippet: 16th: Assault weapons ban. Why not extend? Bush: "I thought we oughta extend it. But the bill would never move because people of both parties were against it." (Obvious question: Why didn't you […]

Special Apple Shoes

These still don't have any bids. These are the same shoes mentioned in this article and have never been worn. They sell for $150 - you can get this pair for $100.

RIP Justin Strzelczyk

Former Pittsburgh Steeler Justin Strzelczyk died after being thrown from his pickup truck after a crash with a hazardous materials tanker truck on I-90 in NY. He had led police on a 37-mile high-speed chase, thrown a beer bottle at them, and crossed the center line. The driver of the tanker was released without injury. […]

Conspiracy Theorists

I love crappy conspiracy theories. This one almost tops that chemtrails one.

QotD: Why Are You?

Question: Why are you (Democrat || Republican)? My Answer: I am a Republican because I believe in a smaller government. Comments not in the above form will be removed. State your reason, civilly, and read those of others. Don't comment on, attack, or criticize others (or their comments). You are encouraged to answer the Question […]

ScrappleFace

I've left off the first part of this article, but I've quoted what I found to be the funniest from an article called "Kerry Calls Bush Poll Lead 'Wrong Bounce at Wrong Time'." Mr. Kerry, a Vietnam veteran and distinguished anti-war protestor who is also a U.S. Senator, said the "polls don't mean anything to […]

I'm still looking for a few writers for a golf blog. Interested people should meet the following criteria: Love golf Contribute 4-5 pieces/week. Quickie news stories take five minutes, after all. That's it. Of course, there are bonuses for other things like "writes well" and "has a sense of humor" or "knows a little bit […]

Oakland 21, Pittsburgh 24

Well, the first game of the NFL season and I forgot that it was Sunday. Consequently, my NFL Sunday Pass from DirecTV didn't do me a lick of good. Here's ESPN's box score. Bettis had a total of one yard rushing for… three touchdowns. Staley contributed a solid 91 yards with 3.8 ypa, and Maddox […]

Anyone want to buy pretty nifty scooter? Here's the eBay listing (it will appear at 6:00pm EDT). You can see a gallery of images here. The scooter sells new for $2200. $1250 is fair, but I'd go as low as $750. Is anyone in the southern Florida area interested? It's got < 700km on it, […]

My Comment was Deleted

The only comments I delete are those that are: Comment spam. We all know what this is. Offensive, degrading, lies, etc. Horribly malformed comments that mess up the display of my site.* That doesn't seem to be the case with Gabe, who seems to simply delete comments that disagree with him. I forget my original […]

Garden State

I saw the movie Garden State with Arion today. He didn't care for it as much as I did. The movie is very real, and I saw bits and pieces of nearly all of my close friends and the relationships I've had with them through the years. It was human, it was funny, it was […]

Will Tiger Woods lose his #1 ranking in the world? The margin is slim: 11.93 to Singh's 11.83 and Els' 11.38. It's quite possible that after the WGC NEC Invitational, Tiger could be second or even third. Vijay Singh will be ranked higher than Tiger if he finishes ahead of Woods in the NEC or […]

Help a PC Guy

I got this email from someone recently. If you can lend a hand, by all means, leave a comment and help the guy. He's most likely using a PC, so, keep that in mind: Tell me what you think of this idea. I was recently looking for one central place to manage my whole life. […]
