I don't want to waste your time with some wise crack about the Sox and their fans, whom I both respect. But... before contributing, I decided to google your name. http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/rwas/index.php?category=2&id=2242 So instead of contributing a story or making a stupid remark about the Sox, I declined to comment. After reading that, I'm certain that he will approach his book on the Cubs with much journalistic integrity and an unbiased view.

The defense needs to step up here.

Come on Cowboys. Hold the ball for a long time here....please!

I agree, but the defensive performance vs Tampa was pretty impressive as well.

Holy Hell! What a play by Brady James!

{silly pun alert} Tashard is my choice for player of the game. :D

it wouldn't surprise me because roethlisberger sucks. Speaking of Roethlisberger, did anyone see this?

I gotta hope the Cowboys defense can make that stick.

WHAT A PLAY!

Tashard Choice...wow!

Good I'm glad you don't. Your Christian so I wouldn't expect you not to just as I wouldn't expect a Jewish person to not celebrate Hanukkah. I just take issue with the people who say I'm being cruel by saying I won't celebrate Christmas when I have kids. While Christmas is a holiday with its roots in Christian tradition, it has grown much beyond that. I would rethink your views. Not because you need to celebrate a Christian holiday, but because it is a time of year that creates opportunities to celebrate the values of giving and concern for others. To quote a character from Dickens's A Christmas Carol, Scrooge's nephew when asked what good Christmas has ever done him answers, "But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!" You are fully right in raising your children in any way that you see fit. But Christmas is a time that children, those Christian and those non-Christian derive much from.

Officially tommorrow but they are all down there already so i'm sure they are talking today. I've been mulling over a list of GMs I'd want to be playing poker against, considering this is down in Vegas. Everyone is welcome to add to it as they see fit: Kevin Towers Brian Sabean Jim Hendry Andy MacPhail (only if Peter Angelos is standing over his shoulder) Jim Bowden Any others come to mind? Ed Wade.

I would never deprive my daughter of the joy of Christmas. Something tells me when she gets older that she will be glad I allowed her to be a child full of childish imagination. And hopefully, long after the belief of Santa has passed from her life she will remember the values of the Christmas season: love, hope, joy, and a spirit of giving. Today at church, we stopped by the angel tree. We let my daughter pick out the child that we will buy gifts for this year. She will actively be involved in it. Yesterday we took some toys and money to the toy drive one of the radio stations had. She pulled money from her own piggy bank because she says she wants everyone to have a present a Christmas. Tonight she will write her letter to Santa. She is excited about seeing Santa. How long will she believe? I don't know. But what I do know is I can't see why I'd take that joy from her.

The Cowboys game is making me very nervous today.

chirp, chirp?

This is a great move for the Cubs. Len does an excellent job in both the booth and connecting to the fans. His chemistry with Bob is also very good as well.

Here's the latest on Plaxico and the gun.

Some reports are saying that Plaxico didn't have a permit to carry the gun in NYC and could face 3 years in jail.

So, will Goodell suspend Plaxico for this little mistep as well.

Plaxico Burress has shot himself. Link.

Dusty reads NSBB? I doubt Dusty can use the interwebs.

That's definitely a new one.

put the cape on over the jersey demarcus vader The cape and jumpsuit are all attached so I can't wear a jersey under the cape. I already thought about that. It would take some sewing and ish that I don't have time for to make that adjustment. So, it boils down to jersey or vader...or just wear jeans and a jersey with the helmet.

I'll be at the Cowboys game on Thursday. I haven't decided if I should wear my Demarcus Ware jersey or break this badboy back out. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/vance_the_cubs_fan/100_0681.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/vance_the_cubs_fan/100_0680.jpg
