Baby!

Honey!

Child!

She said "Mojo! Mojo what you got for me?"
I said "Honey child, you know what Christmas present I got for you?"

Unzip my pants
Let my snake do a little dance
Unzip my pants
And I do a love dance
Yes I give you good lovin'
I put you in a love trance

Due to the economic downturn, The Globex Corporation has suspended its sponsorship of The Globex Corporation presents the BOJ News Service Las Vegas Bowl.

It was a great two year run. Lots of attention was brought to The Globex Corporation and whatever goods and/or services we may provide.

The game continues, primary sponsorship being picked up by Pioneer Electronics.

But it will always be The Globex Corporation presents the BOJ News Service Las Vegas Bowl to me...

From The Onion:

Typo In Proposition 8 Defines Marriage As Between 'One Man And One Wolfman'

SACRAMENTO, CA—Activists on both sides of the gay marriage debate were shocked this November, when a typographical error in California's Proposition 8 changed the state constitution to restrict marriage to a union between "one man and one wolfman," instantly nullifying every marriage except those comprised of an adult male and his lycanthrope partner. "The people of California made their voices heard today, and reaffirmed our age-old belief that the only union sanctioned in God's eyes is the union between a man and another man possessed by an ungodly lupine curse," state Sen. Tim McClintock said at a hastily organized rally celebrating passage of the new law. But opponents, including Bakersfield resident Patricia Millard—who is now legally banned from marrying her boyfriend, a human, non-wolfman male—claim it infringes on their civil liberties. "I love James just as much as a wolfman loves his husband," Millard said. "We deserve the same rights as any horrifying mythical abomination." On the heels of the historic typo, voters in Utah passed a similar referendum a week later, defining marriage as between one man and 23 wolfmen.

From The Onion:

Scientists Warn Large Earth Collider May Destroy Earth

BATAVIA, IL—In October, Fermilab scientists joined a growing number of physicists around the world in warning that the Very Large Earth Collider—a $117 billion electromagnetic particle accelerator built to study astronomical phenomena by colliding Earth into various heavenly bodies—could potentially destroy Earth when it sends the planet careening headlong into Mars, Jupiter, or even the sun.

"The Large Earth Collider will surely gain us priceless scientific insight by offering a brief glimpse of the universe at the moment of its destruction," Fermilab director Gordon Josephs said. "But because the Collider achieves this by hurdling Earth into another large celestial object, there are some who feel the risks associated with annihilating our world are too high. All I know for certain is that this rigorous debate will only end when we activate the VLEC, make the Earth collide with another planet, and obtain results through firsthand observation."

"That's just good science," Josephs added.

From The Onion:

Jerry Jones Probably Thinking About Signing Michael Vick

DALLAS—Dallas head coach Wade Phillips speculated Wednesday that if recent history is any indicator, Jerry Jones is "almost certainly" considering the option of signing former Falcons quarterback and current incarcerated felon Michael Vick to the Cowboys. "Mike Vick is a guy who not only holds the same values as Jerry, but epitomizes what the Cowboys mean to the NFL," Phillips said. "Jerry has set up our program so that any thug, gangster, or hooligan can immediately make a contribution, not just to this team, but to this community. And while Jerry doesn't put much emphasis on criminal records and statistics, I know that he's always been impressed with what Vick has achieved." Jones was unavailable for comment as he was conducting contract negotiations with an expert in discreetly overriding ankle monitors.

Half of the NFL currently has a record of 7-5 or better, that's 16 teams. Six of those teams have a 7-5 record. Only ten teams make the playoffs, so six (or more) of those sixteen teams will end their seasons after sixteen games. The 7-5 teams are obviously the biggest risk of not making the playoffs. Let's look at each and their chances:

Arizona Cardinals (3-2) Over last five games
Somebody from the NFC West has to make the playoffs. With a three game lead with four to play, the Cards are in barring an historic collapse.

Denver Broncos (3-2)
They're in the same boat as the Cards but in the AFC West. Their difficulty is that the team chasing them, the Chargers, is quite capable of winning their next four, meaning that the Broncos can't afford many losses.

Miami Dolphins (4-1)
They're on the outside looking in right now. A game back of the Jets for the division, a game back of the Colts and Ravens for a wild card. It's been a amazing season for them after finishing 1-15 last year

Minnesota Vikings (4-1)
They're in a dogfight. Last night's win gives them a game on the Bears, two on the Packers. They only make the playoffs by winning their division in a strong NFC.

New England Patriots (2-3)
See Dolphins above for where they stand. When Tom Brady went out in week 1, who even thought they'd be in playoff contention?

Washington Redskins (2-3)
They can't win the division being four games back of the Giants who've beaten the 'Skins twice. There are three non-division leaders with better records. They were sort of a trendy pick for a while, but they now have very little chance of making the playoffs.

At least two of these teams make the playoffs. So somebody sitting at 8-4 or 9-3 right now won't. It's a crazy league.
