Under Armour to Unveil ‘The New Prototype’ During First-Ever Super Bowl Commercial
Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
Along with enjoying the Super Bowl game each year, I have to admit I also look forward to checking out the commercials. I’m a commercial guy. I like ads. It’s all about making money. I get it. But the past couple years have been rather disappointing in this area. I found myself saying, “Is that the best they could do?”
One company that should help put an end to that during Super Bowl… More »
N.Y. Giants Continue Spirited Workouts, Plaxico Burress Hampered by Leg Injuries
Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
N.Y. Giants WR Plaxico Burress is struggling. According to my pool report from fellow PFWA member John Clayton, Plax missed today’s workout because of swelling and soreness in his left knee. This, of course, was on the heels of missing yesterday’s practice with his chronic right ankle injury. Each day, he suited up and played some catch and tried to get some work in, but wasn’t able to. Initially, I sort of dismissed… More »

After an inconsistent showing Wednesday, the New England Patriots had a crisp practice on a sunny day at Sun Devil Stadium today.

His ankle was not taped over his shoe. WR Jabar Gaffney’s participation in practice continued to be limited because of a… More »
Third Party Thursday Presents – The Constitution Party
One of the largest third parties in the country, the Constitution Party is holding its 2008 nominating convention in Kansas City, Missouri, April 23-26.
With the belief that the US Constitution is based on explicitly Biblical principles, the Constitution Party’s mission is to “restore American jurisprudence to its Biblical foundations and to limit the federal government to its Constitutional boundaries.” The party’s platform reflects deep Christian conservatism and a belief in a strictly limited federal government. Here are a few highlights… More »

Garmin nuvifone cellphone is fat
I seriously doubt I will ever get a Garmin nuvifone cellphone since its pretty fat and I might need to carry a big handbag in order to bring a charger for it too. Sure its got a awesome 3.5″ touchscreen, internet browser, HSDPA, pre-loaded maps of either North America, or Eastern and Western Europe but do they know its BIG? How does Garmin expect me to fit it into my slim Levis 514 ?

Can’t live without Emacs
Every time I install Linux I make sure that I install Emacs. Actually even on Windows, I install Emacs :P It’s a text editor which people say is hard to learn.

Some people call it an ‘operating system’ and that it… More »
