Well Brees Scored 45 for PG...it depends on the scoring system you have.

Turning our thoughts back to the gridiron.....but back to the movie theatre... Anyone seen The Nativity? It hasn't come to Mayberry yet, but "Holiday" was a good flick according to AUPepBand's 21-year-old daughter.

The Rev has heard reasonably positive reviews and no negative regarding The Nativity.  Rev says reasonably because no one has gushed about it, but it has solid support.

The Rev nitpicks religious movies mercilessly.  The Rev's only two nitpicks about The Nativity are a) Mary wants to choose her own husband. This is a 20th century projection onto the first century.  A Jewish girl back then would never have dreamed of choosing her own husband.  Add that Mary was an exemplar of obedience, and it is doubly unlikely.  But The Rev can write this off as artistic license because The Rev reckons that if Mary had simply accepted her arranged marriage with no fight, western audiences would have said, "WTF?"

Second nitpick (b) is that the movie is protestant in its exegesis.  During the birth scene Mary suffers the pangs of childbirth.  Catholics and some High Church Anglicans would believe that Mary did not suffer the pangs of childbirth and that her 'maidenhood' remained intact.  Pain in childbirth is a result of Original Sin, and since Catholics and High Churchers believe that Mary was singularly exempt from Original Sin because of her destiny as the 'theotokos' she should not have had birthpangs.

But as The Rev said, this is nitpicking and a wee bit obscurantist to boot.

No wonder people would get bummed out in class when The Rev would raise his hand at Hobart. 

The Rev would like to see a football movie based on the song, "Dropkick me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life."

The Rev's FF team, The Bilge Pumps, is not doing to well in this half of the season.  About 5 or 6 weeks in, the Rev was at the top of his league.  Now The Rev is 6th out of 8, and the 8th team is a Dummy Team we made just to even out our league.

The Rev is getting bummed out by his urine-poor performance in FF this year.

RT actually finds himself thinking in the 3rd person or wanting to speak in the 3rd person when sending work IM's or composing emails. RT is serious...has this happened to anyone else in the LL,Inc?

RT

The Rev was afraid that he was the only one who finds himself typing in the third person.  The Rev has to stop himself several times a day.

PG would have scored more points if he had Jones-Drew in the game.   However, PG will be the 1st seed going into the playoffs and hopefully has no let downs like he thought he had with all his players this week...

[JT]

yes...AU can use the 3rd person outside the LL but it may not always be as understood and as accepted as it is in these friendly confines. Proceed at your own risk. RT actually finds himself thinking in the 3rd person or wanting to speak in the 3rd person when sending work IM's or composing emails. RT is serious...has this happened to anyone else in the LL,Inc?


RT is down in JT and KS world. He came down to Hoboken this am to meet w/ his brother and friends to head to E.Rutherford to watch his beloved Buffalo Bills dismantle the J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!.  Perfect day for tailgate (48 degrees, sunny) and nice weather in the stadium! First time in the Meadowlands and RT absolutely filled his quota early in the day of down-state NY, gold wearing, Growing Up Gotti-looking cheezy fans. Every guy was trying to out ganster the other.

...hopefully someone started Drew Brees and the Saints FB in fantasy!!!!

JT was there to watch the Jets screw up an opportunity to be a game out.  FYI... JT doesn't do the NJ guinea look.  He dresses like a normal football fan.... in sweats and a jersey or sweats and a sweatshirt.   Left in the 3rd quarter, been going to Jet games since 1981, JT knows when a comeback is possible or not. 

JT must be desensitized to the Growing up Gotti look, probably sees it too often.  To RT, they must stick out like a sore thumb.  However, JT never misses the bridge and tunnel trolls from Queens and Brooklyn spawn of Fran Drescher (or Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny) wannabes.  They were in abundance at the game yesterday too.

Frank was excited about his new rifle and decided to try bear hunting.
He travels up to Alaska, spots a small brown bear and shoots it.
Right after, there was a tap on his shoulder and he turned around
to see a big black bear.

The black bear said, "That was a very bad mistake. That was my cousin
and I'm going to give you two choices. Either I maul you to death or we
have sex."

After considering briefly, Frank decided to accept the latter alternative.
So the black bear has his way with Frank.

Even though he felt sore for two weeks, Frank soon recovered and
vowed revenge. He headed out on another trip back to Alaska where he
found the black bear and shot it dead.

Right after, there was another tap on his shoulder. This time a huge
grizzly bear stood right next to him.

The grizzly said, "That was a big mistake, Frank. That was my cousin
and you've got two choices. Either I maul you to death or we have rough
sex."

Again, Frank thought it was better to cooperate with the grizzly bear
than be mauled to death. So the grizzly has his way with Frank. Although
he survived, it took several months before Frank fully recovered.

Now Frank is completely outraged, so he headed back to Alaska and
managed to track down the grizzly bear and shot it.

He felt sweet revenge, but then, moments later, there was a tap on his
shoulder. He turned around to find a giant polar bear standing there.

The polar bear looked at him and said, "Admit it Frank, you don't come
here for the hunting, do you?"

[superman57]

Congrats to SJF on a tremendous effort and season....No doubt they are disappointed, but what a tremendous season they had...

TGP was also impressed by SJF.  Looks like Eastern Region Football is making serious strides.

[labart96]

To turn our thoughts back to the wholesome goodness of the gridiron...

The Rev hopes that We Are Marshall is a good movie.  Comes out December 22. Stars Matthew McConaughey.  Men, this is a good movie to take your girlfriend or wife to see.  She wants to see MMc and you want to see football.  Perfect.

I just hope there's alot of good football action and not too much B.S.  The Rev doesn't want some drippy sentimental story.  The Rev wants to hear the sound of helmets and pads crashing in Dolby surround.

huzzah!

TGP's high school sweetheart ended up at Marshall.  TGP ended up at Hobart, dated a lesbian.....the rest, as they say, is history!

No disclaimer before that?  "The following is a true story -- the NAMES WERE CHANGED, but the story is real."  Don't worry folks, I'm not into bears.

Was perusing the Internet and found this gem...

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bd594ca089

Now, being Italian, I beg to differ with the translation provided.  I believe, correctly translated, the man with the gasoline is saying:

"I cannot bear to live without Holladawg any longer -- One full season, and it is time to reach the conclusion that he may be gone forever.  I am coming to see you now, Holladawg."

I mean, of course, it's a loose translation, but maybe JT can confirm...

The Rev was afraid that he was the only one who finds himself typing in the third person.  The Rev has to stop himself several times a day.

This isn't quite the same, but I occasionally find myself typing www.d3football.com into links on NBCSports.com when I'm working my full-time job.

Except that could be disastrous if I didn't catch myself.
