The "LINK of Faith" will not be happening today!
Links!
Sorry, this column is a day late. Yes, it is a regular Saturday morning column. I had too much going on Saturday (writing meeting, wedding, concert), to get things together. But, on this pleasant Sunday morning, I have a free hour. Let’s see what I’ve got for you …
Funny, strange and absurd …
Thank you to a loyal reader, Laura S., for sharing this story. ...

WatchAre you a softer or a stronger person? That’s right. Toilet paper can’t be both. So make your choice. But, before you choose, you should know the what’s, where’s and why’s of that toilet paper. So, here is an interesting piece in the Washington Post.
“It’s like the Hummer product for the paper industry,” said Allen Hershkowitz, senior...

We don't freestyle the LINKS, big boy!
Link Time!
Today - September 19, 2009 - is Talk Like A Pirate Day! (CNN) No lie. Look it up, my hearties. According to my A.K.A., an iPhone naming app., my pirate name is: “Soggy” Chains Ridingcrop.
How cool is that picture? Short list this week. I am working on something else; and I am fighting the post-dome beer thing.
Let’s go!
For those of you in the Twin Cities, The...

WatchI was ready to write a piece today about feeling okay with going to Green Bay, playing awful in all phases, and still having a chance to win. That story seems gone now.

Link Time!
Past Autumns, I might have complained about the length of time since the previous NFL season ended.
Most Autumns, I can’t wait for Fantasy Football and the resumption of the Chicago Bears playing real games.
This Autumn, I am tepid, at best, for the 2009 season. This year, I am not in that place. I know, I can’t believe it either.
Why?
The possibility of an uncapped...

“I expect it to end like Seinfeld…..Everyone in jail.”

This came from the comments (185) thread (www.thebiglead.com) during the UMiami vs. FSU football game on Labor Day 2009, by FreddyFangers.
The original question was:
“Does anyone else see this game ending like Va. Tech vs. Alabama game [Sept. 5, 2009]?”
Essentially, the game was...

WatchHappy Labor Day! - always one of the best days of the year for tennis fans.
So, here is a cover of the “Welcome Back Kotter” theme song, done by jj. Yes, Maria Sharapova seems to have a prominent role in the video. Thanks, Gorillavs.Bear, for the heads up.
Sharapova’s run at the 2009 U.S. Open fell short, when she lost to 17-year-old, American Melanie Oudin, in the best match...

Did anyone catch the South Carolina vs. North Carolina State college football game on Thursday (9/3/09) night? I saw a little bit of the game. It was boring. Neither offense could move the ball, and it did not seem like the defenses were dictating this poor performance. The offenses were just bad.
Part of this telecast, however, included the return of Erin Andrews to her job as...
