Quick Links

Some interesting links for those who are interested:

Lee Jenkins produced a very well-written story about life on the Detroit Lions practice squad.

"They look like NFL players. They hit like NFL players. They dress with NFL players and watch film with them. From Monday through Friday they are a crucial part of every NFL team. But come Sunday, the only day in the league that really matters, they wear jeans and polo shirts. They are the anti-Allen Iversons. They just practice."


I'm a little late to the party on this one, but the University of South Florida gained a lot of attention as it rose to #2 in the national football rankings this season. Doesn't come without a price though.

Did you get sent that spinning dancer image which purported to explain if you were right or left brained? If case you couldn't see if going clockwise and counterclockwise, check this out. Not that it matters in any case, because the "test" doesn't really test for anything.

Thanks to Rich for this one: pretty much any old Nintendo game you can think of: nothing to download, no confusing video players or anything. An NES emulator for dummies, and it's nonstop (possibly too much) fun. I personally have been playing lots of RBI Baseball.

Yum. Delicious.

Finally, if you're not on board the bandwagon yet, please head over to nbc.com and watch Friday Night Lights and 30 Rock. Best drama and best sitcom around these days.

30 Rock is a phenomenal show. I also want to do bad things to Tina Fey. Probably the plainest looking one in that elite group.

that emulator is cool. I'm assuming we can't save games though, right?

Not that I know how to do. Looking to play on an airplane or something?
