Well, the Rockies have generally smelled like an egg and burrito fueled fart this season, so your guess of gas leak sounds about right.

I think you’re fine as long as you have a connection to the various schools and a clear pecking order. I’ve known people who were undergrads at School A and went to grad school at School B, and root for both — but if they ever played each other (and they’re in different conferences, so it doesn’t happen often) School…

Absolutely. That used to be one of my tests for whether a relationship would last. If, by the third date, you can’t comfortably pass gas in front of a woman it will not last long.

I often do the same thing. It’s like a foghorn — three long, loud blasts to warn approaching spouses of danger.

I went to cover a Cotton Bowl there a few years ago, and on the media bus going to the stadium people were asking the hostess all sorts of questions about Jerry World. The one that blew my mind was that parking at the stadium for a Cowboys game is $100 (and this was five years ago, so it might even be more now).

“Dammit, Dad, you told me you wouldn’t show that thing off. I can’t even take a piss against a chain link fence for 5 seconds without you turning into a drunken asshole. For fuck’s sake, we’re from Dallas, not Philadelphia.”

It matters to those of us in Mississippi.

He. Sucks.

I get what they are trying to show ...

What should make me feel old?

“I feel like I need a tetanus shot just looking at her.”

LSU has had a few more than that, depending on how you measure it. Bert Jones was the No. 2 overall pick in the draft in 1973 and did all right in the NFL with the Colts. Tommy Hodson left LSU as the SEC’s all-time passing leader in the late 80s (still No. 15 on the list, which is impressive considering the way the…

Maybe I’ve lived a sheltered life. Or, like the other poster said, maybe not all of us are up to date on the intricate cypher and coding system of racist groups, gangbangers and other assorted no-goodniks who turn innocent everyday things into mindbending leaps of symbolic logic.

That is, without a doubt, one of the dumbest and most esoteric things I’ve ever heard. People try way too damn hard to come up with these things, and other people read way too much into it when the 99 percent of the population that isn’t racist assholes uses the number 88 as the one between 87 and 89.

When I was a kid in the 1980s early 90s, ESPN would run the Super Bowl highlights marathon the night before that year’s game. My dad (an Eagles and Philadelphia sports fan since birth) would go out of his way to avoid the SB XV highlight show. I never understood it. It was one of the few moments of anything resembling…

I do not give a shit. The Eagles could line up 2 Girl Scouts, 2 Brownies and a Campfire girl and I would still root for them. I have been a fan since I found out what a football was. I love Philadelphia and I love the Eagles.

I’m guessing the roaring, bulging, crotch grabbing and epithet hurling were all before you even got into the stadium.

Amen, brother.

The enduring popularity of the Brian Dawkins jersey amazes me. He hasn’t played in Philly in seven years and his jersey is still the most popular one in town.

I don’t think there’s ever been a bleaker Super Bowl matchup than Eagles vs. Patriots. Talk about a real “whoever wins, we lose” situation.
