Best NFL Football Game Telecasts

  1. NBC Sunday Night Football - Best announce crew, highest production values, best halftime show. This is the best telecast in every conceivable way.
  2. ESPN Monday Night Football - With a good three-man booth (when they're not walking all over each other), this is a strong second.
  3. The NFL on Fox - While not on par with the two once-a-week telecasts, Fox has some underrated announce teams, and adding former NFL Vice President of Officiating Mike Pereira has given a meaningful insight to replay calls
  4. The NFL on CBS - Touchdown! [2 minute commercial break] Kickoff and return. [2 minute commercial break] In a 10 to 15 minute period, we're seeing two plays run. Break it up some...
  5. Thursday Night Football on the NFL Network - I like Matt Millen as an announcer more than most viewers, bit Theisman is horrible and, for a network promoting its own product, this telecast is a disgrace.

Not so fast, pig. We're making a stand! A freaky stand! You can smash this drug barn all you want, but first you'll have to smash our heads open like ripe melons!

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the scylla and charibdes
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger

I have only come here seeking knowledge
Things they wouldn't teach me of in college
I can see the destiny you sold
Turned into a shining band of gold

    Nicknames for Women I've Been Involved With*

    Mostly from the "old days" of this blog when I wrote a lot more. No identities will be revealed, but, use your brain, you'll figure out most of them...

    X-C'mon, this one is easy
    2C-From a song I wrote about her
    5-55-Remember thinking how you'd never use Roman Numerals in your everyday life? Me too...
    FYA-The last three words I ever spoke to her, or ever will
    TLO-Far too sad to ever reveal

    * some nicknames have changed over time,
    all are subject to change over time
