The Left Hand Man on the Right

Maybe it's me, but when did it become against the law to tap your foot while sitting on the toilet? I mean, how do we know that Larry wasn't listening to Kanye's new album on his Ipod? And how do you get arrested for putting your left hand under the stall while reaching for toilet paper? What's criminal about that?

This whole case is ridiculous. Here are some things I want to know.

#1, why is the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport such a hotbed for "lewd" behavior? What ever happened to simply getting a hotel room?

#2, why is the Senator using a public bathroom in the first place? You would think he would have some Frequent Flyer card and could use a bathroom in a one of those plush airline club rooms.

#3, what kind of police officer are you, if your job is to solicit men in an airport bathroom in Minnesota all day. Talk about hating your job.

#4, I'm going to assume that senators must have some minimal level of intelligence. Having said that, why would Larry start the conversation saying, "You solicited me?" What ever happened to "I plead the fifth" or "It wasn't me."

#5, Since when did presidential candidate Arizona Sen. John McCain and Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman become the bastion of morality? (John, deflection won't work. Maybe Newt was right.)

At any rate, listen to this fool and make your own conclusion.

Boise St. 65 - Weber St. 7

"First of all, this was a joke. I was surprised with the way we played. It's not all [the players'] fault. It goes to the coaching staff, too. That was as bad a football game I've been a part of. When you don't come to play, that's what happens." - Weber State coach Ron McBride

Blowout from beginning to end. Granted Weber St. is a I-AA team, Boise still executed very well. Much better than I thought. QB, check; RB, check; DLine check; WRs, check; Secondary, no need to ask.

The streak is still alive.

Kyle, good work on that return. Not sure if you could have stayed inside or bounced out, but I was jumping up and down in the office!


Yeah, this hit was real too. Not sure about the final count, but it was pretty high. That slam on the sideline was the truth. It should be on youtube (update: here you go)!

Stay up.

Go Boise!

Good luck Kyle #1!

The Power of Facebook (I can't believe I'm saying this)

I'll be the first to admit, I'm a self-proclaimed Mark Zuckerberg hater. I'm not sure how we've gotten to where we are today, but Facebook is all over the place. The more I try to run from it, the more difficult it becomes to avoid the revolution. I think I came to this realization sometime last week. While connecting with an old classmate, I saw that he joined a group called "Don't Name Princeton's Mascot."


Prior to logging in Facebook, I had no idea that this "contest" existed. Some genius at the university thought it would be a good idea to name the Princeton mascot. How idiotic (for a plethora of reasons)! I immediately joined the group and proceeded to invite every single Princeton friend. 20 minutes later I had 20 friends join me. The wall posts on the group page confirmed that my outrage was not alone. As of right now, there are 500+ members. Now I can't say that we've won the battle, but the link to the asinine contest has been removed from the varsity sports homepage.

Is our group that powerful? Is Facebook the next Google? Did Mark just punk Shirley? I won't go so far as to say yes, but something happened. Something potentially powerful.

Mark...c'mon bro. Make me like you. Just admit it. You didn't plan this revolution. You got a lot of help. I would respect you a lot more if you just admit that luck has a lot to do with Facebook's success.

If my dad ever...

When it rains, it pours. I've refrained from posting on the Mike Vick situation because there really isn't too much to say. I'm sure never in his wildest dreams would Vick ever believe his career would come to an abrupt end because of his dog fighting. I can't even begin to imagine what is going on in Mike's head right now. I mean seriously.....it was all good just a week ago.

Just a couple of months ago I posted a joke on the Facebook wall of a friend/classmate, Chris (son of Gerald Poindexter), saying that his dad was going to ruin the Falcons season with these trumped up charges. I warned him to tell his pops to chill before the entire city of Atlanta comes to Surry County and beats his a$$. Little did I know, his dad, Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney, was not going to be Vick's achilles' heel. Who would have thought that Vick's own father would rat him out?

I guess I could understand why Vick's Co-d's would cop pleas and leave their "friend" out to dry, but his FATHER. If my dad ever......................................I would have to do more damage than Randy Couture did to Gonzaga's nose.

I know father-son relationships can be hard. I'm thankful everyday for the relationship I have with my father. Sure he constantly reminds me of danger and opportunity or tells the same jokes or at times can be overbearing, but what father who is proud of his three sons wouldn't be supportive? It's because of him that I work so hard at what I do (and why I'm so aggressive/overbearing/dedicated). Failure is not an option......especially when we only have a limited number of opportunities in life.

I still can't understand this. What would drive a father to go on national tv and sell out his son? His own flesh and blood. Basically, Michael Boddie put the last nail in the coffin. At least Abraham could say God told him to do it. I'm thoroughly disgusted!

I'm sure I've done some things in my 29 years that my dad didn't like. I'm sure there are some things that he down right hated. But in the end, we talked about it and worked things out. I think that's what makes a relationship stronger. I can't think of a single thing I could ever do that would give my father the impetus to arrange from my sodomization in a Federal penitentiary.

It's things like this that make me wish Father's Day was once a month, not once a year. I don't think we take the time to really thank the dads that not only shield their children from prison, but actually act as role models. I'm glad I have my role model. I'm glad my father has been in my corner every day for 29 years straight.

Thanks Dad for having my back.
