A special treat for you all for the Vikings v. Packers game. Here is my godson, Cole, aka Bug Buggington, all dressed up in the Steelers gear I sent him for Christmas:
The kid spent a week or so here and I never saw him frown, and I have yet to see a picture of this adorable little kid when he wasn’t smiling. He clearly does not take after his godfather.
Go Vikings!
Short Bus Bully
Will Clay Matthews and his gigantor HGH grown skull help the Pack avenge last week’s loss to robo-Petersen?
Yes, I’m afraid he will.
I don’t want my Seahawks to have to travel to Lambeau to play their next road game if they squeeze past the RG3’s…

I got up to go to the bathroom. Where I sat down at is not where I left the remote control, but I do not want to get up to get the remote.

In the Third World you can at least get up and change the channel on the T.V. itself, without the remote.

By the way, fence-sitters should probably be reminded that the Vikes have Chris Kluwe. Root for ’em just for him.

Tell me about it. In the move to the new apartment the universal remote got unprogrammed from the big-ass TV, so whenever I need to change the volume I have to get up and feel my way along the slick, no-button surface of the front of the TV to find the volume control, hopefully avoiding the channel control that will throw me off the cable. It’s a nightmare, I tell ya!

I have a hard time seeing the Vikes coming back from this deficit. After that first possession, the Pack’s D made the adjustment. It was that easy.

@Raven: My father has a great story about Mike Ditka. He was a freshman at Carnegie when Ditka was a senior at Pitt. At the time, Pitt was a dry campus so their students would show up at Carnegie frat parties. At my father’s frat, the freshmen tended bar. All they had for alcohol was beer, but they had a bunch of bottles filled with water or tea behind the bar. So, one night Ditka tells him he wants some of the whiskey in that bottle. Dad tried to tell him that it wasn’t booze, but Ditka wasn’t having any of that. He wanted whiskey, and he was going to have what was in that bottle. So Dad shrugged and poured him some.
He says Ditka didn’t say a word to him and was already drunk enough that he didn’t seem to realize that it wasn’t whiskey.

The NFL has a salary cap. The MLB doesn’t. Big difference. People who grew up in the NYC area are excused for rooting for the Yankees, but everyone else should root against them on principle. Trying to buy a championship, every year… (Although at least their owner tries to win, unlike some owners.)

And I’m not defending any other NYC team, just to note that NYC residents have always had a choice of other teams.
Besides, anyone who’s actually attended a Yankees home team during a game that the Yankees lost should have immediately changed loyalty out of profound shame for how their fellow fans behave. Just as there’s an asshole law of politics, there’s an asshole law of baseball, and it can most succinctly (if incompletely) can be summed up as The New York Yankees.

Too bad the Vikes lost, because Green Bay always seems to give the 49ers a bad time.
When I was a kid, I watched Lombardi’s Packers dismantle the Niners at Kezar Stadium. But even when the tables were turned, and the Niners were riding high, GB has always played them tough. Recall the greatest professional moment in Terrell Owens career was his playoff game winning catch from Steve Young against the Pack. It’s a fact it came in the final seconds of a game that GB otherwise dominated. It’s explains why fans around here were pleasantly surprised when SF whipped the Packers to open their season.
So be it. Go Niners.

@JWL:
Thanks for reminding me.
Yutsano
@dollared: Where’s the facility? I drive by there rather often and I THINK I know where it is but I’m not totally sure. And it wouldn’t surprise me if SU is just being liability shy. Not to mention they’d have to travel to play anyone. But if we get a few other Northwest schools to jump on the bandwagon…
dollared
@Yutsano: The facility is Key Arena. They already play their BBall games there, and the city would lease them hockey dates for a song. Key Arena lost the Thunderbirds – they play at ShoWare Center in Kent now.
Hockey is a money maker – only 12-15 scholarships per year, and the top 20-30 schools average about 6,000-8,000 in attendance.
