I’m sorry that I didn’t have more threads yesterday. With the N.Y. Giants on teevee and the Yankees in the playoffs, I took a mental health day and concentrated on sports. It was a very satisfying day. Did I miss anything in the political world?

Jon Stewart’s debate with Bill O’Reilly. 90 minutes of hilarious !@#$%^&*-kicking. Highly recommended. (Costs $5 to access/download, worth thousands of dollars in debate advice for a certain candidate).

You’re right, although the quality is low.
The political world?
Nothing to miss.
Talking point business as usual.
Why watch?
Now back to sports.
I’m not an inveterate football fan, but occasionally I’ll tune in a game for a while. Sunday I watched about 1/2 hour of the Patriots/Broncos game. Peyton Manning was quarterbacking the Broncos, and he is still a fine player. But offensively for the Patriots it looked like grownups against high school kids. Boston looked absolutely unstoppable. They had the Broncos defense so confused that it was almost laughable. Whatever Denver thought was going to happen didn’t happen. Play after play after play. And all of this was occurring at a pace that was so fast it was actually hard to watch it. Bang, bam, no huddle/quick huddle, next lineup and then bang, bam again. I began to feel sorry for the Broncos’ defensive players. They were out-thought, out-physicalled and overmatched. For that 1/2 hour Boston was a decidedly championship-level team.
The pace!!!
Quite amazing.

Yes, the Pats are playing with amazing speed in their play-calling and ability to line-up for the next play in record time. Defenders need to start faking injuries just to slow them down.
I don’t know about politics but do the Giants always have to fall behind by two scores when they play a last-place team? Really not looking forward to next week’s Niner game in San Fran. As far as the Yanks are concerned; did Arod completely forget how to hit? Even still, two wins.
I am very much looking forward to the game against San Fran next week. We need to get some guys healthy and on the field. Especially Chris Canty, Hakeem Nicks, and Kenny Phillips. But this rematch of last year’s NFC Championship Game should be a real slobber knocker.
