  In Response to Cup of Coffee: January 3-4, 2008,

  freealonzo wrote: What was worse about that 60 yard return was that it was 4th and inches. Sure it was on the Vikes 27 but the punt was returned to the 28. Unless its inside…
  twayn wrote: Nope, 17 yards (4th and 8 from the Philly 42). The Eagles scored a field goal on the ensuing possession. But you are right about the coverage on returns, like Jackson taking a 60 yard…
  Rhubarb_Runner wrote: I think it was 27 yards. And I don't blame the punter; they practically return it to the line of scrimmage otherwise anyway.
  twayn wrote: I think he put his foot through the screen with that 17 yard out-of-bounds punt. I almost did.
  freealonzo wrote: I have a feeling Bud Grant doesn't have a flatscreen, probably doesn't even have cable, just rabbit ears. And no way does he have a remote. If he wants to change the channel,…
  Rhubarb_Runner wrote: Don't forget to also mention special teams coverage that would make Bud Grant throw his remote at his flatscreen.
  

In Response to Cup of Coffee: January 6, 2008,

SBG wrote: What Yickit said. I picked the McHale default pic as a joke, but I never really thought about how offensive it might be. So, I'm sorry about that! :)
E-6 wrote: Are you familiar with Franz Kline's work on phone book pages, meat? When I saw his retrospective at the Whitney, there were about a dozen featured--all from Cy Twombly's private collection. Kline did hundreds and…
Yickit wrote: Short answer: yes. Your Gravatar username doesn't matter. Just make sure to use the same email address to set up gravatar that you used to set up your WGOM account.
Dicta wrote: CC to SBG. I'm unbearably inept at computer stuff. I've tried twice to correct my avatar but gravatar keeps telling me that that someone on word press already has my user name. …
twayn wrote: For the past few years, new phonebooks haven't even made it into the house, they've gone straight from my doorstep to the recycling bin. We've now lived in the same house for more than a…
Rhubarb_Runner wrote: I wish I could opt out of the local free newspaper, too. It goes right into the recycle bin, and the plastic wrapper goes into its recycle bag as well.
meat wrote: The printmaker in me is not happy about the idea of a diminishing supply of free phone books (they are great for wiping plates, among other things ;) ), but the … in me would…
meat wrote: Good luck, let me know how it turns out.
SBG wrote: Refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle. Four words to live by. It's hard to refuse something thrown on your lawn, but recycling those bad boys is at least a start.
CarterHayes wrote: Several years ago I helped an uncle build a new foundation for an addition onto his house. He'd purchased the land his home was built on from the village itself because it had once…


In Response to Hayseed Dixie -- Ace of Spades,

E-6 wrote: Let me kill, mister. Accept no … is the loudest band I've ever seen, though Dinosaur Jr is a close second. Apparently, the first time Lemmie and crew played First Ave, most of the bar's…
freealonzo wrote: If you like this kind of stuff check out Luther Wright and the Wrongs note-for-note countrified version of Pink Floyd's The Wall. It's a hoot!


In Response to Cup of Coffee: January 5, 2008,

twayn wrote: I grew up in Ohio so I still have a soft spot in my heart for the Buckeyes, but in some ways it's like being a Yankees fan. The expectations are so high that anything…
Rhubarb_Runner wrote: Speaker for the Dead -- good call. I think holding Carl to task for something over 60 years ago is a stretch when it could be brought up that he was willing to have his team…
Rhubarb_Runner wrote: Still got it? Could be a good addition to the SBG Library. Uh, for completeness, at least.
davidwatts wrote: Barkley still wins. he gets points for looking for.... some fun with the ladies....heh

In Response to DeRosa To Indians/Aaron Miles to Cubs/Improving The 2009 Twins,

SBG wrote: Plus, they have some of the best baseball blogs in the world. To say that the boys at USSMariner are passionate is to put it very mildly.
spookymilk wrote: I'm way late on this, but living in Washington now, I can explain the Mariners to some degree: the Sonics have been average for a long time and the 'hawks were awful for years, so…
