Not as many severe ass kickings as advertised this week. I'm a little disappointed.

I want to believe this notion that the Colts are playing more like a team built for shitty weather than the Pats are, and thus will have an advantage should they play them in Foxborough in the AFC championship game.

I thought he was just going through a wild west phase.

That kick return for a TD in the Tampa game was a wonderful early Christmas present. My mom even called me after it happened! I don't know what you can take from a game against a team as obviously (and justifiably) demoralized as Atlanta, but it was encouraging to see the defense and special teams carry us on a day when the passing game sputtered. We're now 9-5, with only two of those losses coming against NFC competition. With Seattle and Dallas both losing to sub-.500 teams today (and looking bad in the process), I really feel like the NFC is wide open. Call me crazy.

Congrats to our resident tormented Dolphins fan, Spaceman Spiff. The dream of winning a game has finally been realized.

I'm sorry, I can't offer you any personal advice until you fill out a survey.

I wouldn't say that. You're more of a current forgettable poster.

I am. This would at least enable us to contain the board nostalgia in one folder. For my part, I don't really like reading things that I wrote before my spirit was crushed.

Yeah, that's from my private stock.

Is that an image you go to a lot, Rant?

Did it look like that?

This is true.

Well, it is the central lyric in the chorus. I guess they could have gone with "Dance With You," but that's a lot more generic. That song title didn't scream "indie rock cliche" to me.

Yeah, you mention one bleeding ass and the other bleeding asses come out of the woodwork.

I just listened to their EP before anyone else here. It's all right. "I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You" (which will be referred to in acronym form from here on in) is the one real standout.

Shut up. Idiot. Anyway, I'm legitimately concerned about the well-being of my fellow posters. Anyone heard from GreatWhiteNope recently? I think I've seen JaxlMorrison around. Cancer free, guy?

Jesus, if anything ever deserved to be parodied. I like this song. That article is a lot of aging hipster hand-wringing.

Everyone still alive?

This just all seems so bizarre to me. A musician with a substance abuse problem? Get out of town! A British person with bad teeth? Start a fucking thread, I'll need to see it to believe it.

Who knew "Take On Me" would translate so well to ska over and over again? It was around this period that I began to notice the gulf between me and my smartass rich kid friends with the 311 t-shirts.

After a few rounds, I'd probably fuck her. Well-protected, obviously. I dislike tattoos on a woman, but she seems like fun. "Rehab" isn't even that bad. Nooo, nooo, nooo. Amirite?

Darren McFadden is right there. Dunn is all but washed up and Norwood isn't an every-down back. This would be similar in theory to what they tried to do with Calvin Johnson earlier this year, but a lot more plausible because they'll have better draft position. This will not be a team drafting based on need, but rather out of desperation.

If they take an offensive lineman in the first round, people in the Atlanta area won't see a televised home game next year.

Tell you what, guys: If no one breaks Brady's leg or blows his knee out before the end of the regular season, I'll do it during their bye week. He's dating my ex, so I sort of know the guy.

I'm trying to get through the I'm Not There soundtrack without throwing on Blonde on Blonde instead. Cat Power sounds in over her head on "Stuck Inside of Mobile." I'm on "Tombstone Blues" right now. It sounds...bland.
