Good Morning and welcome!

[xsmommy]

can i please participate in the football talk, pretty please? SU lost again, twice in less than a week. ugly scene in the xshousehold on Sat. evening. much profanity. it never fails to amaze me how he seems to think his shouted instructions will somehow be heard.....

[Argh]

I didn't see your game, was Bledsoe injured again?

[Argh]

Whom did SU lose to this time? And they're not likely to beat Miami by losing all their other games and hoping they're "due" when they have to play the Hooricanes...

[hobbes1]

One wishes. No the officials were busy making sure all concerned no that he wears a skirt.

HE had more protection from the officials than Karl malone driving the lane.

[xsmommy]

they lost to UNC, who also sucks pretty badly.

[NeoCaveman]

I can't believe the end of the Browns/Chiefs game....most $#^&*(* bizarre thing I've ever seen.

[hobbes1]

I used to close my windows at game time, but now i generally dislike my neighbors so much that all sense of discretion is gone.

Imagine XSHUB on a 12 pack and Jack Daniels at game time.

[hobbes1]

I hate the Emmit Smith rule and feel bad for Cleveland, I am sorry, but the officials had no business throwing that flag.

[SCalGal]

As long as they're big, strong, warm hands.....

[hobbes1]

so those stories about Andre Agassi are true?

[SCalGal]

Oh, perfect..... LOL, think teacher will give us detention?

[Argh]

he seems to think his shouted instructions will somehow be heard.....

Like any good football fan, he realizes the enormous effort involved to exert his will upon his team to assist them in their endeavours...Shouting actually helps! Swearing too.

Howard told me the Hurricanes fans were upset that the Agassi-Hewitt tennis match might run long enough to keep them from seeing part of the Florida-Miami game on Saturday. A number of them were posting to the Hurricanes website that they'd yelled and hollered so much about that possibility that their wives had to take the kids and leave the house. Harrumph!! Just who the hell do these wives think is going to fetch the beer if they've taken leave of their responsibilities??

[NeoCaveman]

Proof that Saddam and Atta were interlocutors. I don't think they were discussing football.

[Argh]

It was VERY weird. And too bad, too.

[xsmommy]

yes shouting, swearing and then frequenting the website to read about everyone else's reactions to the loss. i don't get the attraction.

[SCalGal]

Ah... wonderful. I really need a great massage....
