But what about Patriots punter Ryan Allen? His seven punts averaged 47.6 yards, but five of those punts pinned the Texans inside their own 15-yard line.

It needs to be pointed out that NE punter Ryan Allen had a perfect game. 7 punts led to the Texans starting drives from their own 11, 10, 10, 20, 14, 5, 4. The “20" punt was 57 yards-no return. In fact NE allowed no returns at all (5 fair-catches, 2 downed), so no waste or shrink from gross to net yardage, 100%…

At least he’s not Scottish:

Admittedly it’s been over 20 years since law school, but I don’t recall the “applies only to the military” clause of the 1st Amendment. But I’ll defer to a mediocre sports coach when it comes to Constitutional issues.

Well his downfall started with him taking a moral stance by refusing to kill children. Good? No, but better than the rest.

The sad part is that during his brief presidential campaign Graham was arguably the most reasonable & least offensive of the Republican candidates. I guess he learned his lesson.

So Dan Gilbert is basically Bruce Wayne without the cool belt.

Just hospitals? I thought they owned the entire country.

I heard former Minnesota senator Larry Craig is going to volunteer to serve as an undercover genital inspector. Tap your foot if you like that idea.

Just a hunch, but I’m guessing this guy didn’t run this statement, and premise behind it, past the lawyers, either for a contractual perspective or a Constitutional one.

It’s a far better management style to start out as a strict hard-ass and soften as time goes by than to start off as a “player’s coach” and then try to get tough. With the former your evolution is appreciated; with the latter it’s dismissed. Wrecks is the epitome of the a player’s coach so his new “holding the…

The Seven Stages of Balotelli:

Or “The Night of a Thousand Chairs”

I’ve always wondered: statistically does that count as a save?

If it was a deli sandwich it would be called the Schweinsteiger.

You call that a stupid haircut?

Just trying to ballpark it. Remember 2011 was a very bad year for the global economy. Also with the other clubs, through the press & agents, being aware of Barca’s dilemma in needing to unload him (and his salary) if he wasn’t going to play it could be a buyer’s market. Now if there was a bidding war, well then the…

To misquote the Bard: therein lies the rub.

The problem w/ this scenario is that IRL the board would never allow it. Either they would sack the manager for refusing to play their best player and club ATM (they’re about the same size too) or, if they backed the manager, they would sell Messi to Man United or City for $200 million.

Thanks for the warning. I’ll try to evade it.
