Monday
Busy busy busy over here. Spent a pretty nice weekend out in Eastern Washington/Northern Idaho. Seattle types turn their noses up at the region, but they're missing out on a couple neat little college towns. The Washington State Cougars got spanked at home by Stanford in one of those games that expose a team with decent expectations as a pretender, but still a good weekend all in all.
Brand new Chile's Corner will be posted tomorrow. In the meantime, some quick reader feedback:
Luther wrote on Friday, before Tom Brady's 350-yard performance and Peyton Manning's latest serving of cupcakes and twinkies: You idiots who keep bashing Peyton Manning should take aim where its deserved. Tom Brady has won three super bowls behind an offensive line that gets away with more holding than all other teams combined. My grandmother could win games behind that line. We're seeing now what a chump Brady is, though... And how about Michael Vick? The greatest athlete since Michael Jordan??? Are you kidding me!?!?!?!? Talk about overrated, this guy is just a throwback to the bleak days before Knute Rockne invented the forward pass... Duh ... HE'S the poster boy for the NFL and I think its disgusting that a decent, hard-working quarterback like Peyton Manning constantly gets bashed just because he hasn't won the big commercial bowl... Give it up... Warren Moon was a great quarterback. Dan Marino was a great quarterback. Peyton Manning is currently the best in the business and you idiots who keep bashing him need to just shut up. Can you handle that? Can you shut the (expletive) up already? Thanks.
Tom wrote, as echoed by others: Hey, Tree Rollins bit Ainge, not the other way around...The headline read "Tree Bites Man"...you should have known this fact, shame on you.
Agreed, Tom, and we've fixed it. I'm surprised at myself I let that one get by. Though the idea of Danny Ainge biting someone is pretty funny.
Joe in New Hampshire writes, on the Red Sox: Well Dave, it's over and the world is beginning to return to "normal". The television sat unused and alone last night and my wife went to bed early; she's still shaking her head this morning. Perhaps today we'll add some black bunting around the "tube" and dress in somber clothes. We have lived to see the Sox become the World Champions but are now perhaps blessed that we have witnessed a truly unique event in sports that would only be diminished by a back to back 2nd win. The truely faithful will rise from last night's ashes and go on, the weak spirited will fall away. Eighty-six more years ... who knows, who cares! They will be back.
