Looks like the espn experts are going with the Saints. Bears fans should be feeling more comfortable with that.

I still laugh at how a large chunk of Americans could be led to believe that war heroes like Bush Sr & McGovern were 'wimpy' or 'hippie'...and that guys like Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush Jr were some kind of real life John Waynes.

Bush Sr was also an envoy to China, made a decent run in 1980, and ran a miserably failed campaign for Senate in 1964 where he tried running way to the right of Barry Goldwater. But yeah, Richardson has him beat for experience. I like how all the pundits/experts who have nothing to say about Obama but his supposed lack of experience refuse to acknowledge the existence of a guy like Richardson. The first 5 Presidents were all pretty well qualified for the job. I'm not sure if I could pick one over the other without writing a thick dissertation on the subject and changing my mind a million times.

Probably only George Bush Sr could compete with those credentials. If Richardson doesn't make it onto the ticket, and assuming a Dem gets the White House, he would be the best option for Secretary of State. And where is Wesley Clark? He should be in this thing now that we've seen what happens when the hawkish draft dodgers get their hands on the military.

Matt Millen will probably take Calvin Johnson if he's available because a) He's retarded b) He can get away with anything

Superstar Graham.

Hey now Well, if we keep snuffbox contained, that should cut it to only 4 pages This hurts me.

Tom Tasselmeyer & Rob Roblin will be the coordinators.

The Cam Cameron era has begun in Miami.

We used to get snow by the foot here a few times a year. Now six inches in the middle of January seems to be all we get.

Miguel Cotto will defend against Otkay Urkal on March 3 at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico. It'll be on HBO.

Slayer will be on Jimmy Kimmel's show tonight.

Is that guy the espn.com equivalent of Dr "Brett Favre isnt a first-ballott hall of famer" Z?

Here's a look at what Americans were thinking about their future President in 1952. This was a poll taken by the Saturday Review and was later reprinted in Townsend Hoopes' biography of John Foster Dulles. One can look at something like this while analyzing today's popular climate. The poll is heavy with Republicans as the Truman Administration was very unpopular at the time, much as any current poll would be Dem heavy due to Bush Jr. 1. Dwight Eisenhower - Absolutely no previous political experience. Only Washington and Grant were on par with his military credentials in the entire history of the Presidency. Ended up polling in the same position when it mattered in November. 2.Robert Taft - 'Mr Republican'...Extremely experienced politician, served in Hoover's administration, in the Ohio legislature, and 3 terms in the US Senate. Didn't get the nomination and died the next year. 3. Estes Kefauver - Highest ranking Democrat in the poll. Served 5 terms as US Representative before reaching the Senate in '48. Would dominate the primaries but fail to get the nomination. 4.John Foster Dulles - Served in Wilson's admin, worked closely with Thomas Dewey's failed Presidency bids, and was appointed Senator for a brief time. Ended up being Ike's highly influential Secretary of State. 5. Earl Warren - Another Republican, 3 term Governor of California. Ended up as Chief Justice. 6. Harold Stassen - Another Republican and ran in more failed bids for elective office than probably anyone. Was Governor of Minnesota at a time but never made it higher. 7. Eleanor Roosevelt - Just the second Dem on the list, and neither made it to the nomination. So, from this we see the paralell of of how one party can really dominate people's minds in the face of an unpopular or failed Administration. There are also, like today, examples of people with limited experience ranking high (Ike, Estes, and Eleanor) & those with serious credentials (Taft, Dulles), and even a token loser like Stassen. I am amzed that a woman was able to make such an impressive wave amongst the people's wishes for the Presidency that long ago as Eleanor Roosevelt did. If a top 7 were done today of both parties it can be assumed that John Kerry would not be among them, much like the failed Thomas Dewey didnt make the cut in this 1952 poll. Interestingly, neither Ike's running mate (Nixon) or his opponent (Adlai) or Adlai's running mate (John Sparkman) were on the list.

Big Hollywood party next month. We might as well buy up our towels now, the terrorists are sure to win.

Fishbowl if you will.

A lot of teams ended up with starting quarterbacks because he did that.

If Rampage busts out the powerbomb it'll be worth the $39.95 alone.

Anyone else see McGovern tonight?

If things keep going at the current rate there will be more Canadians fighting in Afghanistan than Americans.

George McGovern will be talking Iraq tonight on Olberman's show. I know, I know, he was a longhaired hippie playing an acoustic guitar at Woodstock and all but his real-life war experience viewpoint is always worth listening to. Even if America never has.
