    Kevin and Chad on the radio today were discussing the choice by Ron Rivera to go for 2 when Carolina scored  on Green Bay to make it 24-16. Chad had no idea why they did it and thought it was stupid. He's wrong. It's the right thing to do.hat they guy with the name on our stadium decided to do: (from wikipedia)

    One rock solid rule of football strategy:  if Chad Hastings thinks it's a good idea, it's not, and vice versa.

  2. Another nomination:  "One" by U2.  Probably Bono's best lyrics, and a contender for his best melody.  The song itself is much more intimate than the band's other hits, eschewing their usual bombast.  I hear it as a breakup song, but as should be expected with Bono, he was thinking larger, with inspiration ranging from dysfunctional interpersonal relationships within U2 as well as the reunification of Germany, where the song was written.  I'm not sure where the "reunification" parts comes in, but whatever.  It's a gorgeous piece of pop music.

  3. OK, if we're talking about great artists, it's pretty much an impossible task to define their "best" song.  I get it.  That said, we might revisit some deep cuts, or realize "oh yeah that one mega-hit was pretty much as good as it gets".  I really don't care to argue about the great artist part -- if you don't think Jethro Tull was "great", then keep it to yourself.  (I happened to think Jethro Tull sucked, so I'm violating my own rule in saying so, but I'm pretty much just saying argue the song, not the artist.)

    Here's an example:  Prince had a bazillion hits, and a history of groundbreaking albums before he really broke big, but in terms of pure songwriting and performance, not to mention the amazing recording and production, I say "Kiss" was perfect.  So, tell me otherwise or put up something by someone else.

  4. Wow.  I missed all of that.  Good job, Purdue.  I've always thought of them as an engineering school, one I almost attended for grad school had my undergrad HT transfer prof (a Purdue grad) told me "oh no, you need to go to Texas, Purdue will bore you".

    It may be a classic, boring midwestern engineering school but that's one helluva tribute to AJ.

    I would like a commitment from the PAC that any money left over or not donated to the Democratic candidate be given to their Republican opponent as a show of good faith. Also it will help to flip Republicans over to our side if we show that we want to work together and not further divide our country along party lines. Like when all the Democrats chipped in to rebuild the NC GOP office that got bombed. Just look at how much that helped in NC. 

    Agreed.

    LOL No fucking way Baylor should be over #20 if even that.  They have beaten nobody.  SMU should be higher than baylor, they would beat them handily.

    Wut?  Baylor has played a harder schedule than SMU.

    Sagarin has Baylor at #14, seems about right.

  8. I wouldn't wish autism or Asperger Syndrome on anyone.

    Nor would I wish asthma, eczema, cancer or heart disease on anyone.

    I wish Briscoe Cain didn't have his medical struggles.  I also wish he wasn't in office, because he's a jackass who has a horrible perspective and who hates people for no reason than because they are "different".  That's the difference between Briscoe and me -- I hate him not because he's different, I pity him because he's a terrible human being.

    I say we go after that little dumbfuck Briscoe Cain from Deer Park in Texas House District 128. He's got to be vulnerable and certainly worthy of a targeted Surly campaign.

    Now see, I like this angle.  It's surlier.

    ActBlue has community fundraising so whoever it is would see us all donating as Surly Libtards then come post here and we would ask for nudes and it would be on the news.

    Great idea IMO

    Best thing you've posted in weeks.
