No Brian Billick, there is such a thing as a bad decision this late in the game. Rivers will prove you wrong.

Hey, at least you can't throw a pick-six when you intentionally ground.

I wonder if part of Eric Weddle's contract stipulates that he carry all that wasted cap money on his person during the game. It'd explain a lot.

You know LandyCakes in real life?

Sorry beer commercials, but after experiencing Tuscaloosa these past few days an NFL tailgate looks like my dad's Bible study group in comparison.

I can see that. Low-scoring games aren't exactly entertaining and the offensive play-calling for both teams was pretty conservative (a product, I believe, of the fact that so many teams had gotten burned by defensive TD's and costly turnovers from those units this year) but I don't think it was a poorly-played game.…

There were also at least about a half-dozen plays by my beer-hazed memory that the NFL would've flagged as a personal foul and given the offense a gift. As much as I love the NFL, they know that offense sells tickets and have been progressively changing their rules to reflect that. A decade ago, 9-6 would've been a…

I don't really understand all the hate from those who watched the game. You had 2 teams that received top billing in the preseason and then did everything to justify their high rankings. Even if we had a playoff it would be hard to imagine neither of them making it to the title game. If it were a rollicking 52-49…

"This lack of fucking leadership, breach of fiduciary fucking duties by the Big fucking East and its Commissioner, and voting fucking disparity between the fucking football and fucking non-football schools resulted in the Big fucking East football fucking conference no longer being a fucking viable and fucking…

Huh, I thought playing in a competition you don't really care about and for a team you're only ironically attached to would win one a PBR MVP.

I thought they were just big fans of Al Jolson's work.

Would it be facile to say that whoever wins this game wins the Series? If the Rangers hold on to the lead tonight, I can't see them losing to both Garcia and Lohse even if it is on the road, plus they've got that whole "haven't lost 2 in a row since forever" bit that seems to favor them. Likewise, if St. Louis comes…

Perhaps it's because I'm gay, but I firmly believe that she would never be considered attractive if hipster culture ceased to exist. It's like she's the girl for guys whose balls fell off many moons ago from wearing too-skinny jeans and are too cool to pine after "mainstream" hotties like Christina Hendricks or…

We'll miss you Hickey.

"Wait, you mean they weren't Occupy Wall Street protesters? Oh, uh, oops..."

In the span of 3 minutes, my decision to start Tebow over Schaub went from insane to genius.

I think there is some usefulness in understanding the context of modern rhetoric and where it came from by studying its predecessors, but yeah, much of what the ancient rhetoricians taught is not as useful in modern times. We don't rely on oratory as much anymore, the context of rhetoric is so much broader than in the…

It's all good, neither does anyone in the class. It's the "baptism by fire" course of the program here. Everyone has to take it and the required reading is a total kick in the nuts even by grad school standards. The second year students just snicker at us because they now get to watch other people suffer in it.

Hah! We haven't even gotten to that bastard yet. I'm contemplating if stabbing myself in the eyes would be a better use of my day than writing any more about the Sophists or Aristotle. To top it off, it's taught by the department chair who's a recognized scholar on the subject so every answer is probably going to be…
