About that talk at UBC which I posted about on Sunday... Q: How'd the talk in Vancouver go Monday, Dave? D: The slides were awesome and the animations dazzling. Q: So the talk went well? D: Don't know. I didn't give the talk. Q: Didn't give the talk? Why not? D: Well at the time I was supposed to…
Well? I wish I could give you the video right now. It is just before six o'clock central time, and the discussion on MSNBC just got interesting. Interesting enough that some of you are going to want to write letters to make sure the producers don't do the wrong thing... Stay tuned!!! Oh, the…
Bora beat me to this one (which is what I get for not posting about it yesterday morning when I first saw the story), but some holy water is coming out of a tree in San Antonio, and why has not yet been solved: SAN ANTONIO (Aug. 12) - Is it an artesian spring, a broken water pipe or an abandoned…
I wrote two letters (for two different classes). These are letters from the students of the near future to themselves in the present. this first one is for a non-majors lab. In this lab, I let them turn in "informal" lab reports that they can then use on the midterm and the final exam. The…

I had to go with "My team(s) stink." -but I can't argue with you about those *&^%$#@ Cowboys.

I had to go with the "year-round sport" option since I prefer that kind of football to the American kind. Not to mention that my radio station of choice devotes several hours to pre- and post-game shows (as well as the game itself) instead of playing music when the nearest NFL franchise has a game scheduled. But being outside the range of the relevant reality distortion field, I understand full well that the Cowboys are evil.

I've pretty much tapped out my football excitement this year, although I could still watch some premiere league matches.

Or did you mean "American Rules Rugby Football"? I suppose it's a substitute for watching grass grow.

What have the Dallas Cowboys got to do with the Six Nations?

Oh, you mean USAian style football, which is a joust between armoured refrigerators, where the ball (almost) never meets foot.

I was until stupid ass Virginia Tech lost of division IAA James Madison. Now I'm ready to give up on football (college and pro) until next year.

I went with the sports are beneath me option, but am posting to make an exception to that, that exception being hockey. But even then, that's a symptom of being Canadian, and outside of the Canucks being in the playoffs or Canada at the olympics, even it doesn't usually attract my attention.

Can I change my vote?

'Nuff said? Looks like Perry Fewell's coming to NY to run Tommy Coughlin's defense has paid off handsomely. What's YOUR favorite team, Chad?

American Football is our number one pastime. It's MADE for television, so much so you get more out of watching it on television than being there.

And the Physics ?! The weird shape "ovoid" ball defies description. The randomness in how it bounces. The force equals mass times acceleration when linemen collide.

Which reminds me. YOU Chad look like you'd make a great offensive lineman. Did you ever play? People think Quarterbacks and Linebackers are the most intelligent football players, but surprisingly they're only 3rd and 2nd, respectively. O-Linemen are first.

My answer was the converse to comment #1: I would have voted for "my team stinks," but as soon as I saw "Cowboys... evil" my mouse clicked on that one of its own accord.
