  1. It's true! It's true! clicky Perhaps the best news here is that Grossman's contract expires after this year.
  2. It's bad enough that Rick Mirer and Cade McNown have both been Bears. If they end up with Booty, I'm going to find another team to cheer for. Unless he turns out to be really good, of course.
  3. Very cool. Haven't lived in Kalamazoo in years, or I might have had some suggestions for where to find someplace that was open at that time in the evening.

  5. Falcons QB Vick tests positive for marijuana; judge imposes tighter restrictions on freedom By KRISTEN GELINEAU, Associated Press Writer September 26, 2007 RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A federal judge placed tighter restrictions on Michael Vick on Wednesday after the Atlanta Falcons quarterback tested positive for marijuana. Because of the result, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson placed special conditions on Vick's release, including restricting him to his home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. with electronic monitoring and ordering him to submit to random drug testing. The urine sample was submitt
  6. Considering that the Bears haven't had a great quarterback in my lifetime, I'm a little tired of QBs who are no better than not fucking it up for the defense.
  7. I was a Grossman backer for too long ... I really believed he'd come out with guns blazing this season. Instead, he's sucked. Maybe he's just not cut out for this business. Griese isn't a major upgrade, but he gets the job done and doesn't make too many stupid mistakes. Come to think of it, that is a major upgrade.
  8. Purple nurples I can't believe there's a Wikipedia page that mentions these.
  9. Seriously, if we're going old school, then Ambrose Burnside must be mentioned. I mean, c'mon, sideburns were named for the guy.
  10. I think I whispered something along these lines to Melissa as we watched them.
  11. Most bands record in this manner. The Band were not special in this regard.
  12. Um. I think a lot of people do assume that. AIPAC and other staunchly pro-Israel groups have made it their business to shout down anyone who dares to challenge Israel in any way.
  13. I thought 16 Frames was a decent (if unexciting) opener for Crowded House ... but for Wilco ... no.
  14. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan > Please Please Me or With the Beatles Not by much, but that's how I see it.
  15. Yeah, does anyone know? I'm gonna be pissed if the rest of the country gets Dr. Dog or Andrew Bird and we get stuck with some crap.
  16. Well, then we'll just have to keep on disagreeing. I love Manuel, don't get me wrong -- I just find him limited compared to McCartney. That's the great thing about music ... not everyone hears it the same way.
  17. Jawbone's great, but I'm not sure I understand your slavish devotion to that performance. Possibly not even my favorite Manuel vocal on that album. Also: though it's not even close to being my favorite Beatles tune, I think McCartney's vocals on "Hey Jude" are up to anything Manuel did.
  18. I'm going to have to disagree on this one. I think Manuel's voice was amazing (as was Danko's, really) but it was a matter of being perfectly suited to the kind of music that they wrote for themselves to perform (and selected other songs they chose to perform). Neither one of those guys had the kind of overall versatility that either McCartney or Lennon had (in my opinion, of course). There's almost nothing the Beatles couldn't sing and sing well; Manuel was a terrific, fabulously expressive singer for songs by The Band, but he simply couldn't have handled the kinds of screamers that the ea
  19. Cool, thanks for posting that. Good to hear that his hand has recovered sufficiently to allow him to play again.
  20. Scott Pelley of CBS' "60 Minutes" got a chance to interview Ahmadinejad last night, and Salon.com's Glenn Greenwald provided some snippets (below). I can't believe this pinhead Pelley is allowed to work as a journalist. Perhaps he should succeed Tony Snow as the White House press secretary. Excerpts: PELLEY: Sir, what were you thinking? The World Trade Center site is the most sensitive place in the American heart, and you must have known that visiting there would be insulting to many, many Americans. AHMADINEJAD: Why should it be insulting? PELLEY: Well, sir, you're the head of gover
