Brett Favre Mic'd Up

That was some good stuff. Sitting in section 227, I was talking to my brother early in the fourth quarter about how many yards Sidney Rice had. I made a guess of about 150. Boy was I off. I mentioned to him how Sidney needed to get a touchdown to put it all together. I'm glad Brett agreed with me.

There aren't a lot of guys in the game who can work a team like he does. A lot of talk and most of it is either right on the mark or meant to motivate. And you see how most of them listen and appreciate it.

It was a lot of fun watching from the stands (since I only go to one or two games a year) and this made it even more fun. Thanks for the link!

Lawyer Sues for Men Excluded from Oakland A's Mother's Day Giveaway

As pathetic as this sounds, there is a very simple way to avoid this.

All they have to do is publish a guideline to the staff before the event that says that any person who asks for an item, who is not in the group that normally gets the item, will be given the item. Then 99% of the guys who don't want the hat don't ask for a hat and don't get a hat. The few buttheads and lawyers (some are buttheads too) who make a stink get their hats.

The ballpark avoids all of these issues. If some butthead lawyer comes back and says he didn't get a hat, the ballpark pulls out the policy letter, asks him if he asked for a hat (which he may not have done, I don't know) and then the judge gives the lawyer a nasty look and sends him out the door.

For the record, I think the guy should get most of the things done to him listed here and in the article. Or maybe he should just get that free mamogram he would have gotten from the ballpark and have one of those fully abledbodied nurses (who plays pro football on the side) "assist" him while he's getting it performed.
