"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

How the heck can you malign a whole group of people loquacious while using the word obfuscation!?!

Good question.

I... guess I wasn't aware that football looked as far askance on gambling as baseball does. Because, I mean, everybody does bet on football games. I don't know a thing about gambling and I have a general idea what a point spread is.

On the acceptance of murderers in the NFL, wasn't there that guy who murdered his pregnant girlfriend and stuffed her body in the trunk of his car? As I recall it, he didn't just go to prison, they banned him for life and destroyed all the jerseys for sale with his name on them. If they could have salted the earth where he'd walked, they might have done it.

Which I'm sure you already knew about, but I'd though I'd alert you to the imminence of Gerard Way.

I might actually have to go to MySpace for those sweet little nerds.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can see why the NFL would consider gambling a very grave sin. Gambling poses more of a threat to the integrity of the game with the risk that a player may tailor a performance to win a bet.

Running a dogfighting ring is certainly despicable. But barring blackmail threats from someone threatening to expose the ring (and that's a risk with any criminal activity -- or even anything legal but embarrassing), it isn't likely to affect a player's performance.

MySpace isn't toooooo bad. Its rep is much worse than the actuality of it, I think. (My gods, it's the Starla of the internets!) It all depends on who you've friended.

I can't get into the site, but I'm curious as to the Raider's standings....

Ah yes, Rae Carruth. I'd have to do some looking, but I don't recall the league jumping on him until they were pushed either, though.

This is true. All my friends are people I know or "know"
