Vikings are playing like they want another wildcard bid.

Damn, Minnesota is really beating up poor Detroit.

I keep thinking it's too early for Christmas stuff. But, it's not.

Nice little run for Peterson there.

There's your Super Bowl halftime entertainment.

It is a bit sad that Gravel will now end up being remembered for this hilarious run for the White House, rather than his work against the Vietnam War. Many people I have talked to have een surprised to learn that Gravel has an important past & isnt just some kook that came out of the woodwork. Well, he is a kook who came out of the woodwork now, but the Pentagon Papers and draft-ending stuff should remain his legacy.

If today was any indication, Wisconsin can at least salvage its Bowl winning streak against Tennessee in the Outback.

I liked the Roth book. Im reading a biography of Margaret Fuller now. Cormac McCarthy will have to wait some more.

The refs are always terrible when Green Bay comes to Dallas.

The Archies - Sugar, Sugar

This election is going to end up being a referendum on whether or not we remain in Iraq permanently. I wonder how much of the popular electorate realizes this.

What a strange lineup of announcers for the Mayorga-Vargas card- Tessitore, Rich Moratta, and Roy Jones Jr. Roy sounds even dumber than he did in his HBO days. Rich Moratta is underrated.

Good try, Tennessee.

I just listened to The Big Doe Rehab. It's good, but not the album of the year or anything like that.

Yes, but not a very good one. I'll be rooting for him too.

Why is Pitt keeping Dave Wannstedt around?

Why does everyone have to pick on 1990s bands?

Father of the year.

I woud't mind Scott Rolen.

1.Radiohead 2.Mac Lethal - 11:11 3.Wilco - Sky blue Sky 4.Brother Ali - The Truth 5.Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank The only album coming out this month that I know of that might effect this list is Big Doe Rehab.

Tonight will be the first time seeing the fight for me. Sounds like it was good, though. Yeah, both have been beaten, often brutally, in all recent big fights. They did win some big fights in their careers, though...Vargas over Ike Quartey was very impressive; Mayorga destroying Forrest in their first fight.

Hey, buddy, I like 'No Rain'

Espn Classic is showing the Mayorga-Vargas fight tonight, and the Cintron fight from the undercard. Pernell Whitaker-Azumah nelson from 1990 follows that. (Talking to myself)

But why risk further injury to your best player when you have a pretty easy two game strech and a comfortable lead in your divison? If I were a Packer fan, I wouldn't want Favre to get hurt further in game playing aganist the hapless Raiders or Rams 1) No game is a guranteed win in the NFL. You use your best players to win the games. Before Thursday night, Favre was a legitimate MVP contender. Now he should be benched for a couple weeks despite the team already saying he will be fine? 2) People dont like to just end their records or streaks for the hell of it. 3) Favre has had great success vs. Oakland in the past, and would love to do it again and help the team get back on track. He's never won in St. Louis and would obviously like to remove another monkey from his back this season. 4) With a good game against Oakland, which is very possible, he has a chance to break the all-time yardage record at home. If he doesnt start the next two games he would be looking at breaking yet another record on the road. 5) We don't know if Favre is coming back next season so we will take all the games we can get. Especially games at Lambeau vs. the Raiders. 6) The playoff debacle several seasons ago in St Louis was awful for Favre, the team, and the fans. Two Sundays from tomorrow will see a chance for some redemption against a much less talented St Louis team. 7) If Favre does decide to play another season or two he could end up nearing the all-time streak record of the Vikings' Jim Marshall. If he doesnt start against Oakland, obviously, there's no chance for 271. 8) Dallas can still lose somewhere down the line. We need to win every game we can to stay in the possible hunt for home-field advantage. Taking games off or looking past them in any way would be really dumb. 9) This injury is less severe than a similar one last season, let alone several others over the years, and there appears to be no reason why this one would end up ending the streak. 10) Get it yet?
