Here are a couple things I read today because there is little else to report.
From RealFootball365.com, Os Davis (Os?) wrote this piece on what the Buccaneers have done this season using a children's nursery rhyme theme to deliver the repeated line "The House that Chucky Built". And it's... it's just awful.
Eugene Wilson's the guy who picks the pass behind the pressure from Teddy Lehman, who's there to back the line with Cato June, the name on the defensive side, which supports the 'O', including Askew, who will see some runs behind Gilmore, who'll be blocking the path for Warrick Dunn, who runs with the ball from Jeff Faine, who snaps the ball to Jeff Garcia, who leads the team, the front of the house that Chucky built.
I don't know who Os Davis is, but I'm pretty sure he's right behind Dane Cook on the list of people that should be pushed into an active volcano. Gimmicky writing is all right once in a while, but this was just unbearable.
sorry, living with a pair of pre-kindergarten daughters will do that to you
No, living feral among monkeys in the mangrove forests of Bangladesh will do that to you. If we all mimicked our kids in our writing, my entry to this blog would be various ways to say "I don't know" and would consistently be several days late. Oh, and your comment about B.J. Askew being a disappointment is completely wrong. Askew played excellently and Gruden said on more than one occasion how pleased he was with his performances.
Elsewhere, Patrick from MVN.com, who was ballsy enough to leave a rebuttal to my last entry about one of his articles, was kind enough to write up for the rest of us the top ten worst moments in Oakland Raider history. The loss to the Bucs in the Super Bowl makes it, of course, as does the Immaculate Reception that they still can't get over. Let it go! No one knows who that ball bounced off of and no one ever will no matter how dogmatically you present your argument. And how can the re-hiring of Art Shell not be on your list? That season had to be worse than 1995.
Say, did you know Erin Andrews's first job after graduating was to cover a Buccaneers game? It's true. Is this insignificant fact just a weak excuse to post a picture of Erin on a Bucs blog on an otherwise dull Friday? Oh, you're sharp.
Everyone loves Erin Andrews, especially Bruce Pearl who thought it would be perfectly appropriate to grab and shake Erin on national TV a couple weeks ago. Lucky for me, everyone already knows Pearl is fucking crazy, so his actions don't really reflect on the Volunteer nation too badly. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
In response to an audience member's question about how it feels to be the subject of a YouTube video montage glorifying her "being hot," Andrews said, "I just don't care. Boys are gross."
"Boys are gross." Nope, I don't think I can top that as a closer.

"Boys are gross"? She's a reporter huh? Well, assuming she was not intending to declare her lesbianisn, than I would assume the correct rejoinder would be, "nuh uh... and you, madame, are a a booger."
Seriously though, have noticed that she's mimicking the famous "big foot pose" in this photo. I wonder if she's a fan of the noble Sasquatch.

The 2006 season for the Raiders was an unmitigated disaster. The reason that 95 was included was the team started 8-2 and then fell to 8-8. The expectations were much higher that year than they were in 06.
Thanks for your interest in the Raiders.

I enjoy watching the Raiders go down in flames on a yearly basis... Keep up the good work!

Aw, come on, Scott. Not all my stuff is so awful; what about the dozens of fawning pieces i've written about Gruden, Jeff Garcia and my fellow alum Quincy Black?
Can i at least get a prop for ballsiness like Patrick from MVN.com?
Keep up the good work; you've got a nice 'site going on here.

I'll be honest, that was the only piece of yours that I've read. I will go back and look at some more. The nursery rhyme thing just didn't do it for me. I mean, where are the swear words? Where are the references to strippers? Where are the references to strippers using swear words? These are the common threads that run through all great literature. Oh, and stories about monkeys wearing hats. Those are always hilarious.
You're a good sport for showing up and responding. Thanks for the kind words on the site. You're good people.
