When is Peter King’s deal up again? I thought this website said it was up at the end of 2012, but there he is, still sucking his way through MMQBs in 2013.

The first one is my favorite
Color analyst Rick Majerus said that he requested the presence of Kentucky alumnus (and possible Senator of Kentucky) Ashley Judd at the game. Why? “So I won’t have to watch adult videos back at the hotel.” The network apologized for the comment a few days later.

Love the headline for the Clemson post about Boyd coming back at the top of the page Top 5? Clemson? Hilarious. They lose 5 defensive starters, including 3/4 in the secondary and they were only 66th in YPP this year. They also lose their TE, best WR and their stud RB. Then you take in the “Clemson + Dabo” factor and you get 9-3.

I can’t figure out if I feel bad for old Pasknale Storino or not; I need more info. For instance, if that were me, I’d be all “oh great, now my name’s gonna be in the paper as that dude who killed a stripper at that place I wasn’t supposed to be.” But for Pasknale, he could be one of those dudes who calls up his friends and parents and is all “HEY, did you see the paper? Check page 11, I’m in there.” I’m thinking that’s more Pasknale’s style.

The Patriot blows though, Braveheart doesn’t.
Fair, fair.
I’m looking back at the reviews of Braveheart and shockingly a fair amount of critics hated it, kind of surprising honestly.
This is from Ebert’s review though.
Mel Gibson’s “Braveheart” is a fullthroated, red-blooded battle epic about William Wallace, the legendary Scots warrior who led his nation into battle against the English in the years around 1300. It’s an ambitious film, big on simple emotions like love, patriotism and treachery, and avoids the travelogue style of so many historical swashbucklers: Its locations look green, wet, vast, muddy and rugged.
Not much is known about Wallace, known as Braveheart, except that according to an old epic poem, he unified the clans of Scotland and won famous battles against the English before being captured, tortured and executed as a traitor.
This part is not even remotely true.

When I was in high school, Odessa Permian kicked our asses in football every year.

I imagine they kept the shot zoomed in on the runner since they wouldn’t have been able to explain just how that would be possible unless the other coach had gone full retard and they were stacking the box
I hate in football movies where the runner breaks 27 tackles as even 50 yards down-field there are wave after wave of head on approaching tacklers.

The Leak brothers were supposed to go to my high school. CJ actually did my freshman year, had art class with him, but then he saw how bad our team was and transferred to Independence. Antawan Jameson was supposed to as well, his sister actually went to South while he went to Providence.

I don’t consider Wilson County as having money. I imagine the median home price in Williamson to be over $200K, maybe greatly so.

For those unfamiliar, it’s the county just South of Nashville, where all the big country music stars, athletes, or other big shots (Dave Ramsey, CEOs of companies, etc) live, because you can get large houses in gated areas.

Much prefer public, but willing to go private if I have to. We’re like .5 miles from Williamson County, so very South Nashville. I guess I’ve got 14 years before worrying about high schools, and elementary schools aren’t as important (assuming you have involved/proactive parents), but I worry about it.
