I totally forgot that the Skins are starting on the road and against a playoff team.

I don't think they have done that in like 8 years. In fact, if you look at the opening day opponents for the East, the Skins usually get a subpar team at home.

A complete waste of time.
How about last year? What was the predicted record of the Cleveland Browns and how did it compare to the actual results? Everyone around here (me included) thought 3 or 4 wins tops.

Of course that's why they play the games.

Why do I think if Dallas had won it all last year that the sentiment would be that we haven't proven anything?

Bit cynical this morning? I just like to give teams their due. You beat Dallas, GB, and NE three in a row when it matters and I'll call you the best team in the league.

When I was young it seemed that life was so wonderful. A miracle. Oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily, oh joyfully, oh playfully, watching me. But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, oh responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical.

We had a busdriver who played a tape with that song on it over and over -- and by that song on it, I mean that he recorded just that song, like 20 times on the tape.

Dude, Pink Floyd is my very favorite band. That's from Wish You Were Here.

Comfortably Numb is my favorite by them.

I need to send you that song and BrainPaint an 8-track of Freddy Fender's "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights."

He loves that song.

It has never touched my lips and the only time it has ever been in my hands was to hand it to a Police Officer after I found some.
