Sam from San Fransisco just contacted me with the info I needed about going premium. Two things....

1.) I have to ask him if a premium gets blocked if they get a refund

2.) When the membership kicks in I'll announce it. At that point I would prefer not to have any personal back and forth with a non-premium. Sort of like that caste system from India.

Problem is there's so damn many of them, eventually some decent soul may get trampled and drowned. At this time, of course, the one decent soul being hypothetical.

In life without adding being sorry for something that you didn't get caught at.

He's going to do time--and it appears he's going to lose tens of millions of dollars overall--and he may not ever play football again--or at the very least not until his skills have eroded. And he's going to be followed and hounded by groups wherever he goes and whatever he does after prison. This all for a crime without human victims.

The thing that has surprised me is the rather large group of radio talk callers and bloggers who want the guy put in one of the worst prisons. Where his life would be in danger. That's gotta be racial.

The Cards and Brewers too....You'll figure it out eventually.

That whenever you find God, you are in a serious state of delusion.

Would shoot up with any kind of strike against Iran. I'm shocked it hasn't already happened. The fact it hasn't tells me that there is hesitancy coming from somewhere about what a disaster it could be--worse than Iraq.

That when Bush has his final talk with Jesus about Iran, that Jesus is reasonable.

You better wait to see a team play before employing the patsy designation............And I have pointed out before that the top-25s are the uninformed wet dreams of sportswriters and coaches.

Was a patsy to commence last year........Speaking of top-25's, it's enlightening to review the recruiting top 25s of the last 5 years. Say between Wake and Florida State. Score--Wake 30 Florida State Zip. At Florida State.

Funny thing is, even if the "patsy" puts up a fight against one of the big boys they don't get an ounce of credit. For example, if Murray was to give Louisville a decent game, even for just a half then it's --"what's wrong with those Louisville bums, over-rated, over rated, over rated.".....Then down the line Louisville may whip West Virginia.

It's funny to see the reaction in sportsbars to the score ticker at the bottom of the screen. Laughter/insults/amazement over and over and over and over again throughout the season at the team without the recognizable name or tradition playing with or leading the team with the name.

Of course most of them can't benchpress 50 pounds and would need a 1/2 hour rest after one 100 yard dash. And if they have been laid lately it's strictly perfunctory/conjugal. If unmarried probably unintentionally celibate, or absorbing relentless henpecking by a girlfriend in order to score once in a blue moon.

You want a patsy team. Select 50 or 60 guys at random who are calling sports talk radio, typing on blogs, sitting in the stands, or parked in front of the TV watching the games and sportscenter from noon till 12 PM on Saturday.

Pick any of them at random. Send them to a Murray State practice and pitch them the ball on a sweep.

They'd wet their pants.

Has won 6 straight bowl games, two of them BCS, one of those against the SEC champ in the SEC champ's home state.

These peabrain fans are just hysterical. Last year the teams battling at the end in the ACC were Wake, Georgia Tech, and Maryland. So the ACC sucked. Put the same Wake, Ga. Tech, and Maryland players in Miami, Florida State, and Virginia Tech uniforms and the ACC would have been tough.

The last two years they beat Vandy in overtime 45-38 at Florida, and the national champions beat them 25-19 despite being outrushed and outpassed.

Oh yeah, amidst that Vandy lost at home to Middle Tennessee.

We need some sort of constitutional amendment dealing with restroom stalls.

But I have an over-sensitivity to elitism. I live in SEC country, where the nincompoop fans have an annual exagerated view of SEC football in comparison to everyone else--due to a combination of generally poor genetics and alcohol abuse.

I'll give an example---When the monster programs left the Big East the chorus down here, as it was nationally, was deafening in putting down the Big East. Here in Kentucky specifically, to belittle any accomplishment rival Louisville may achieve.

Then, lo and behold, almost right away the SEC and Big East were matched in the BCS. You could see their little brains working overtime. They were making excuses BEFORE the game. If Georgia comes to play, they'll win by 4 touchdowns. So the only two possibilities were an SEC rout, which would prove their superiority, or an SEC loss which means they did not come to play. In other words "We've been crapping on this other conference and their teams, we know absolutely nothing other than basing our evaluations on the names of the teams, now we have to play them for God's sake."

The Big East team rushed for 400 yards. With a freshman quarterback and tailback accounting for most of it.

And afterward they said it didn't prove anything. The Big East sucks.
