Go on... preach, preach.

"I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like O.J., cutting everybody's throat. You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife … I totally understand O.J. I get it."
-- Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan

The Curious Case of Brad Pitt

Watching 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button':

I said, "I had no idea Benjamin Button would be such a ladies' man."

The boy responded, "It is Brad Pitt."

Football, again

Brett Favre knows that cock punches slow pass rushers down like nothing else. That's why they call him a wily old vet.


What's with the penalties? We're trying to unleash hell here!

Tom Powers

... if it weren't for that consecutive-game streak, I'd say send him to Hawaii for a week and let him cool out. Let Favre throw a pass or two and then yank him quicker than the Vikings dumped their partnership with the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission. Never mind the score, get him out of there. Play Tarvaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels, or bring back Ron Vander Kelen. But chain Favre to the bench.

after the article is this disclaimer:

The Pioneer Press is happy to host community conversations about news and life in the Twin Cities. As hosts, we expect guests will show respect for each other. That means we don't threaten or defame each other, and we keep conversations free of personal attacks. Witty is great. Abusive is not. If you think a post violates these standards, don't escalate the situation. Instead, flag the comment to alert us. We'll take action if necessary.

It's not hard. This should be a place where people want to read and contribute -- a place for spirited exchanges of opinion. So those who persist with racist, defamatory or abusive postings risk losing the privilege to post at all.

Wouldn't it be nice if the whole world could get just a little closer to living by those words?

That's odd.

A dome team has the third best NFL record (over the last decade) in road games played in December and January.

This runs counter to every preconception of dome teams. Trust me, I live with a doctor.
