Long Bombs...or Nuclear Bombs?

What is more dramatic...watching Rex Grossman (Rex Grossman) toss up air balls in the Super Bowl or watching terrorists nuke Valencia California on 24? Norman Chad might say the Super Bowl. This from the Couch Slouch:

Ask the Slouch
Question: Since the number of people airborne over the United States at any given hour is about 61,000, how many of them are in danger of being hit by a Rex Grossman pass?

DAVE GRESCHNER Rice Lake, Wis.
Answer: Actually, I'd also fear for those still taxiing on a delayed Delta Airlines flight.

Perhaps it is not fair to pick on Grossman. He is of course only 12 years old and still has not lost the aggressiveness pounded into him relentlessly in the “Pop Warner” league where he recently cut his teeth.


How does Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) do it? How can reasonable people suspend their disbelief for periods of time in order to watch all this shameless, violent clap trap. Unbelievable bull shit. Totally whacko, non sensical hate, violence, torture....and I love it. I think that reflects very poorly on me... and our country and is exactly what I would expect from FOX. Fair and Balanced. Indeed.

We have terrorists on one hand...blowing up Valencia where my friend Tiemann and his family obviously were killed in the conflagration...I cannot pretend that there is anything else in Valencia that would be missed but Tiemann had at least one salvageable child...perhaps even two and a very nice wife. On the other hand we have the neo cons constantly trying to suspend the constitution so that they can take over the government, save us from the terrorists...and the liberals. Then we have Jack and the good guys but on 24 the “good” guys are an ever changing cast where good guys turn out to be deep cover bad guys and then....ohhh...it is not good.

Whenever I think I am having a bad Monday coming home and getting a taste of Jack Bauer’s day...well that my friends is a bad day. here is nice picture of Kiefer and his puppy. I hope the puppy does not know anything about the nukes or he will have to shoot it in it’s little knee.

The Couch Slouch

So, who is the greatest American sportswriter and comedian and social commentator? Well the answer is easy if you read the Houston Chronicle's syndicated column "The Couch Slouch" or watch Celebrity Poker on ESPN 7 or even, for you guys who have read newspapers for 3 or 4 years remember the column he had titled "The Man." The greatest is indeed Norman Chad. Likely it is only because Mark Twain is dead.

The man comments on a lot of things but his passion is football. he makes a living announcing poker which would be a total waste of talent if it did not pay the bills and allow him to do a regular column. The man is more then just an incredibly hot and sexy package. The Man has had more wives then I have children (3 for me). The Man understands why George Bush would be having lunch with Tom Coughlin to discuss Iraq war strategy. Speaking of the Iraq war the Man has picked the Arizona Cardinals (that is right, BILL Bidwills Arizona Cardinals) as his team of destiny the last two years. (Stay The Course!)

His link is here and you will notice that I am quoted at the end of the article in the infamous "Ask The Slouch" segment.

The Man is a God among men. I have had a irregular but always spirited email link with the Man along with deeply troubled friend and sometime breakfast companion Cary Mogerman (Super Lawyer, Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, winner of the Shephard Professionalism Award, great person and reasonably good karaoke singer). We have successfully (somewhat) counseled the man through numerous marriages and disasterously bad career choices. I once had the benefit of having the Man drink cocktails with me at the bar at the Paris Casino in Vegas (I believed the Man had recently been operating as a poker "shill" at Binions.

In any case. The Man is unheralded and now...in his declining years. He needs your support. I urge everyone to do the right thing and contact their local papers and DEMAND that they begin carrying his syndicated column. The Man has done so much for American journalism. Lets repay the debt and for God sakes lets find him another wife.
