Dear Drew and Company – Welcome to your afternoon.
Hard to believe only six weeks left in the season that I wait 30 weeks to start. Some nice matchups this week., none more so in our house as the Saints traveling to the Black Hole to take on the Oakland Raiders. Football Savant Offspring what’s tickets so armed with his trusted Kodak EasyShare, I am hoping to post a live action shot of the winner in next week’s column instead of stock footage of happy quarterbacks.
So sit back wherever you are – it’s definitely a great sports day — the last race of the NASCAR season is taking place at Homestead, Florida – and at least this year it won’t be applied by Moochelle Obama showing up to pretend she cares about the military and hog the spotlight. The 2012 champion will either be Bred Kesolowski or Jimmie Johnson and since I don’t like either one, I think I’ll instead be focusing my attention here:
Cardinals@ Falcons
Buccaneers @ Panthers
Browns @ Cowboys
Jaguars @ Texans
Bengals @ Chiefs
Jets @ Rams
Eagles @ Redskins
Packers @ Detroit
Saints @ Raiders
Colts @ Patriots
Chargers @ Broncos
Ravens @ Steelers
Monday Night Game
Bears @ 49ers
Update – driving back from Flyboys in Livermore this a.m., I was routinely flipped off by Raider fans on the way to the game as they passed me. Couldn’t figure out why until I got home and remembered the “New Orleans Saints” license plate holder on the back of my car.
NASCAR. Yee. Haw….
Apologize for the misspellings and all, y’all (typed up this a.m. on my iPad), and I thought I had gone back through and edited it but it looks like they didn’t take. I don’t suppost I can pull and fix and reschedule for ten minutes from now, could I?
The best description of Petraeus I’ve read so long and it really makes my day

so far, you stupid.
I know that this is an NFL thread, but yesterday
was one of the more remarkable days in college
football that I can remember.
I watched Notre Dame beat Wake Forest as expected.
But no National Championship Game for them unless
Kansas State or Oregon lose.
Unranked Baylor slaps the snot out of K State &
for good measure Stanford takes down Oregon!
Looks like ND & Bama for the title.
@ RIX:
Notre Dame may be 9-0 (or is it 10-0 now?), but I’ll still take The Crimson Tide! Call me Deacon Blues.

They are 11 & 0
You can make the case either way, but ND does have
a lights out defense & their offense is really hitting on
all cylinders now.
Bama is tough, so I expect a good game, but first ND has
to get past USC.
CNN gets caught AGAIN lying for sake of its PLO / Hamas allies. If there was any justice in this world these CNN traitors would be dragged through the courts and then hung.
How far the US has fallen since 1945.
@ Aussie Infidel:
To me it started during the Viet Nam War.
John Kerry & Jane Fonda were treated as heroic cultural icons,
instead of traitors.
It turned reason upside down, but at least our troops are
respected today.
@ Guggi:
Now here’s a General:
http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/sch0bio-1
He used to ride his Harley to work in 1984, 85 as the Commanding General of the 24th ID(M) at Ft. Stewart Ga.
Remember that briefing where he said, “An this, ladies and gentlemen, is the luckiest man in Iraq” as a truck drove thru the crosshairs just prior to a bridge being completely demolished.
Macker, what the heck is that thing in your avatar?
I’m guessin’ you owe me some Quatloos, boy!
Our troops may be respected by the sheeple right now but that is just a single media blitz away from instant vilification. The MSM has such a strangle hold on the minds of the sheeple that everything is on the table all the time. Villains can be made and unmade at the stroke of a pen. Heros become fools overnight and documented liars can be placed on the media stage as some letter-day saviour.
It’s all media manipulation of the weak minded ‘sheeple generation. Short attention spans and even shorter memories . The lack of rational enquiry where we have ‘packaged’ reality. People have lost the ability to differentiate between reality and fiction. You really think that this just ‘happened’?
The West has been ‘had’ for at least 2 generations.
@ 10 TolerantT: Part of the problem for me with the upper ranks is that if one of them just spits in the sawdust at a bar they are deemed unfit for command or promotion. I can’t have confidence in a military like that. You take someone that killed people with their hands and is a leader in war and teach them the finer aspects of mass killing the enemy but expect them to learn to courtesy on command also. that’s one foot in the grave.
Once again the Chiefs look like crap.
@ Aussie Infidel:
.
That is an uncomfortable fact of life in America.
In recall even Chris Matthews admired the troops
after 9-11 & tried to bootstrap on.
He recounted a story about his Peace Corps days in Africa.
He & another guy drove to the airport and “There could have
been Rebels!”
That was his Viet Nam.
New thread.
