If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

And it's not as if this is the first year he did this. I mean, in the last few years, it's been "Will he or won't he?" almost up until the last minute except for this year, when he finally did retire and then months later says, "Oh wait-- maybe not so much."

Wrod. I'm just baffled at all this. Was it this thread we were recently discussing addictive personalities/behaviors? Because seriously, this is some insane shit he's got going on.

He's now playing in New York, so next year's retirement and un-retirement can get even more publicity?

No way. Unless he makes a deal with the robot devil and wracks up 5 Superbowls in a row or something, there is no way he ever sees that kind of lionization again.

Brett Favre is a Jet.

When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way...

Jesse stole my smart remark. That's about the only thing I contribute to a football conversation.

With everybody's days being what they are, I probably shouldn't mention that I am on holiday. However, I am. It was a good week to take off because I spent yesterday with friends from Montreal, and today with my friend D. who is from here originally, but is in the process of moving from Dallas to NY. He's very intense, and I just spent three hours with him, and my head is spinning. Need to recover.

I figure the dude knows he should retire, but at the last minute just can't close that chapter of his life. That's got to be hard to do.

ION, CERN's LHC, Large Hadron Collider for those unfamiliar with the TLA, has an official start up date of September 10th.

It will be awhile before it gets up to full power, but you've got to start someplace.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

He's fucked that up for what? Sixteen more football games?

Or, just maybe, a crippling injury?

Or the embarassment of being cut.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

So Clemens is still the number two QB at the Jets. Right?

I think Clemens is still there, but did they dump Pennington?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ilove this: [link] because "OMG Zack Morris" was pretty much my reaction, too.

Yuppers.
