I enjoy the hell out of those. The one with college players this past weekend was excellent. Even the kicking is entertaining.

As for the Pro Bowl, Hell these guys could buy Hawaii and it's just an honor anyway, and I'm surprised more guys don't "pull out", an operative phrase I stole from above. I mean if Moss or Brady did go, all they would get is a variation on the wild exultation "You're the best!!..I mean almost the best, and we can't offer you a trip to Disneyland, but be honest now since only millions are watching, how did it feel to have the wheels fall off the car, how did it feel to lose" ? C'mon I'd stay home too... I know you read the comments RB, since my Academic Treatise on the Digit seems to be out of print !!

Do politicians really think that no one is going to find out who their supporters are? Is there any way that he can be removed from his position for wasting taxpayer money to try and hold expensive hearings in order to attack one of the competitors of his financial backers?
