Don't post the ESPN or AP newswire version of the story; find articles from local newspapers or local blogs. If you can only find the not so obscure stories on ESPN/Yahoo/AP newswire, then maybe it's not worth posting. I am one of the guiltiest parties on this one. I work in a factory and don't get too much time in front of the computer. I usually scan through the stories, see something interesting, and post it. If I had more time to find the story in the local paper, I would. Sorry.

My new goal is to defeat my old nemesis, sk8r. Although my current score (666) is pretty
wicked-awesome.

Ha. Chocolate bunny. I went in to my parents' bedroom where all the kids had gathered to watch tv and compare candy highs. I asked my son if he wants some ham. He turns around and there's a chocolate bunny head hanging out of his mouth and a wild look on his face and mumbles,
"NO DAD!" I slowly backed out of the room.

Holy crap, MSU pulled that game off yesterday? I was thinking the same thing, NoMich, but decided to wait it out. Good thing that I did, because it was a total turnaround. I'm not too fond of the trap either, emoeby. Dump and chase isn't my cup of tea.

(doesn't look like Alabama-Huntsville is gonna exceed expectations, however) I don't know about you, but that was an awesome game. The Chargers' goalie Narduzzi stood on his head the whole game.

Colts by 9. Under 48.5. First TD will be scored by the Colts with a fumble recovery for a TD at 7:48 of the 1st quarter. P.S. I hate the Bears. I Really, really hate the Bears.

FSU, having a dreadful year in the ACC, just made the PAC 10 look absolutely ridiculous. UCLA let that win over USC get to their heads. They were strutting their stuff in the first quarter, and by the fourth they looked like a deer in headlights.

They won't win another game. No, I think that they will win one more game so they can screw up the first round draft pick and give it to Oakland. Par for the course.
