Oooo La La.

Not too shabby. They don't have that back home in Maine (or up here in SF for that matter).

The bathing beauties up here are all at Pier 39 - year round!

They have my seal of approval.

I otter smack you upside the head for that.

Clam down, OB, clam down.

Hey, aren't those boys in the SF parade a little too clothed for the normal parade of that sort? It's not Bay to Breakers, but still....

[snoop dawg]

Thats just not right.......that just makes me want to puke.  Its not even funny...ok, just a bit.

I think I spotted a kid I went to high school with.  Gross.

DAMNIT... WHY WHY WHY with the picture link? That is esentially right outside of my apartment... bringing back bad memories of waking up to blasting dance and techno music with some 80's tossed right in there on a weekend morning.... gag.

OB again with another clutch pun. He's the opposite of ARod in October - ALWAYS coming through.

ECS,
So you get a birds eye veiw of all the whackos that hang out on Market and Powell. I worked for Westfeild back in the day and had some doings with the new SF Shopping Center. (FYI in the picture the scaffolding across to the left was part of the construction site.) Like I told my kids "no reason to go to the zoo and pay when we have it all right here for free"

Hey, we don't want to see gay guys driving funny rickshaws. We only want to see red-blooded straight guys driving funny little cars.

Those are three of the city supervisors. From the department of Rackem, Stackem and Smackem.

Two of America's most eloquent speakers died today.  One was William F. Buckley, Jr., famous conservative writer.  You are all probably familiar with his work on TV, and I won't go into any detail in order not to be political.

The other was famous Steelers announcer Myron Cope.

A couple of you are big fans, but for the rest of you, here is a sample of his work.

I guess this proves that, even in reverse, astrology makes no sense.

Myron Cope is a legend in the 'burgh.  He started the terrible towel, or as he said it, 'terrible tawl".  After every broadcast he would close with, "This is Myyyyron Cope...on sports".   Myron will be missed by all Steeler fans.

He was one of the best. Put him in the same league as the late great Bill King for Football broadcasting. Myron actually was a great sports writer before getting into broadcasting.

I guess I could/should have spelt Myron's pronunciation of towel,......... taaowl

I believe he wrote for SI and the Pittsburgh newspaper before taking the announcing job.  He was about 5 foot nothing and had goofy grin on his face most of the time.  I think he liked his whiskey.

I heard Myron on air a couple of times, I am pretty sure he liked his whiskey.

Sounds like this Jack L.B. is something similar to Pete Carroll's "elephant" backer over at that school West of the Rock.
Gotta Love the Zoo animal's name all these coaches use.

Best of luck to Mr. Collins. I am sure the guy will do great on the big stage tonight. 

Finally, speaking of the L.A. Avengers, best of Luck to former All-S.C.I.A.C, former Oxy F.B. player and close friend Coach Johnnie Williams on his second year as the D.L. coach for the avengers. I am sure he and Coach Dob will make their team and oxy proud of their upcoming season.

Jack backer ? The dude is a QB. Wonder how he got there ? I know he has wheels and strength but did he ever play D in his FB life ? Is he #2 on the QB depth chart ? Ironic that he may get to see Bret Elliott (Linfeild)  from the D side of the ball. Last I saw Elliott is on the SJ Earthquake.

Andy Collins makes his Arena Football League debut tonight for the LA Avengers against the New Orleans VooDoo at Staples Center. Collins is listed on the Avengers' depth chart as a "Jack" linebacker. I didn't know what that was, so I found this explanation on the web site of the Dallas Desperados:

The league has chucked the traditional Box Rule which placed "Jack" linebackers inside an imaginary box behind the line of scrimmage until the ball was thrown while the "Mack" linebacker was free to blitz on either side of the center. Under new, more defense-friendly rules, the Jack linebacker may roam sideline to sideline within five yards of the line of scrimmage and drop into coverage once the quarterback pump-fakes.

In NFL terms, think of an extra nickel cornerback without pass-rushing authorization.

That's one extra coverage man [the QB] must recognize when he drops back to pass. Problem is, he'll never know exactly where the Jack-backer will roam - and that could result in additional interceptions...

Good luck, Andy!
