Fuck. I *like* Mark. The Rangers are now officially the Penguins of three years ago -- Jaromir Jagr and a bunch of other guys.

Guess I can root for Chicago. Or maybe Edmonton.

That is *so* sweet! What's engraved, the Southwest logo with "Flight [whatever number from his place to your place]"?

Amen. Plus, they ask players to re-structure their contracts *all* the time to take less money, and you don't hear washed-up nobodies on ESPN or talk radio ragging the GMs for not recognizing the sanctity of contracts -- "when a real man puts his name on that piece of paper . . ."

Where do you get the authority for that?

I think you're suggested spelling could be pronounced "slootiest." Perhaps that will work in Canada, but I think Americans like their sluts with flat "u"s.

That sounds perverse.

(I've given up on you and your "Your/You're" problem.)

2. TO played his ass off for them last year and played damn well.

3. TO busted his ass to make it back in time for the Superbowl when neither he nor the team could find one doctor that would (i) say he would be ready to play or (ii) clear him to play. When his team needed him most, he worked harder than anyone else to come back and contribute. And he played great.

4. The Eagles made him sign a waiver freeing them from responsibility for playing in the Super Bowl. They essentially said, "We'd love to have you play, but if you hurt yourself, we're not taking any responsibility and you're on your fucking own." He signed it. And he did as much for the team as he did for himself.

5. His salary is below market for the level of player he is. Of course, he might want to take a step back and see that he isn't making what he should be making because he is such a risk to be a pain in the ass. And his latest round of bullshit is why he makes what he does. But, that ain't gonna happen.

If he weren't such an asshole, with a big mouth and ego, who hired another asshole to represent him, he would be in the right, as far as I'm concerned. Now, the bad-mouthing Donovan and not talking to him or his coaches is just inexcusable and a good agent would explain that it won't get him anywhere and makes him look like a fucking prick. But his agent doesn't even know what a fucking prick looks like.

I guarantee you, if Brett Favre (and I couldn't be more sick of the coverage of him and his fucking Hurricaned family) determined he was underpaid and took it to the press after playing injured in the Superbowl, he'd be labeled a warrior and the Salsburies of the world would suck his dick harder and longer than they currently do (if that is even possible).

(And no, I'm not whiffing. I get it. I just wanted to get that off my chest.)
I personally think its a huge stage act the team has drummed up to explain why they’ll yet again find themselves losing post season.

This city doesn't get to win anything. Thats just the rule.

I prefer my sluts "u"s to be nice, round, and even a little bit bouncy.

How? There are many ways. That's quite a large softball I've served up there...

Speaking of Canada, last night I had a dream that Peter Jennings was deeply in love with me and that we had a grand but non-sexual affair in the twilight of his life. We spent most of our time with a large crowd underwater and I learned how to ice skate backwards and nearly came to physical blows with another woman during a game of Scrabble.

I miss Peter Jennings.

Its terminal. I change my mind as I type... I also do it when I talk. Drives me nuts. I can never decide whether to go with past or present tense and I'm always mashing the two together.

Don't be such a pessimist. The Eagles won the NFC championship. They just didn't win the Super Bowl because the gods were smiling on Massachusetts for the 2003-04 baseball/football seasons. Now Boston is subject to a permanent "quit your fucking whining" order. As soon as the Eagles win the Super Bowl, Philly will get one too.

OK. I'm coming out of retirement to ask you this one very important question:
  • You don't think the your/you're distinction has anything to do with the past or present tense, right?


(just say no)

I dreamt that I was hanging out with Alanis Morisette, but she was very ill. I kept trying to get away from her because she was doing some sort of spoken word gig like VH1 Storytellers. She was singing all her awful songs.

This was the easiest dream to interpret... I'd heard her earlier at Starbucks, where they play that awful fucking acoustic version of her record. My disgust from the morning had revisted me in my dreams. Simple mind; simple dreams...

But I can't explain why suddently, at the end, she was Betty White instead of Alanis Morisette.
