It’s that time again. So far it’s been an interesting week for me, and once again I have some notes: Mark Elrod’s thoroughly entertaining contest for the most politically subversive song in American history is over, and Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War” wins the title. I think my vote would have been for “This Land […]

Weekly Notes: November 1, 2007
A few notes for your first day of November: I have been going to the movies less and less over the past year or so. There just aren’t that many that are worth making a trip to a theater and paying 3-4 times what you pay for a rental, and movies keep coming out on […]
Weekly Notes: October 25, 2007
It’s been a while since I did one of these posts. Let’s hope I remember how it works. First, a few football lists: [TABLE=1] [TABLE=2] Now, a few other notes: I’ve been playing a lot of Xbox 360 recently, and I told myself that I wasn’t going to buy NCAA Football 08 (a game I […]
Football Notes + Still working on the site
This is taking much longer than I expected. I have a Braves Check ready, but I want it to be on the old site. I’ll be doing a clean new installation pretty soon if I can’t get the bugs worked out this week. For now, I’ll share just a few football thoughts, note-style: The 49ers […]
Football Notes: Perhaps I should have bought someone else's jersey
NFL Notes I may have mentioned on here before that I’ll be attending the 11/4 game between the Falcons and 49ers in Atlanta. What I probably haven’t mentioned is that I bough my first piece of licensed NFL apparel in preparation for this game: a replica Alex Smith jersey. Hopefully he’ll be healthy enough to […]
Football Notes: Rankings galore
Just for the heck of it, I’m pulling out my college football top 10 and NFL notes for the week and putting them into their own post. It makes me feel better about not having as much original stuff to post, I’ll admit, but it’s also a good way to start some discussion and prepare […]
Friday Notes: September 21, 2007
Now it’s time for all the stuff that wasn’t really worthy of an entire post this week: I’ve decided to start keeping my own college football top 10, mostly because I have a Facebook app that requires me to do so. Well, maybe it beckons me to do so, rather than requires. Still, here it […]
Thoughts on football analysis and another FO/TMQ plug
I know it’s not evident by the volume of posts about baseball and basketball, but I really don’t favor those sports over football to such a great degree. This is mostly a result of my interest in statistical analysis, which is profoundly more difficult for football than the other sports. For baseball, I can grab what I […]
I do actually watch football, too
If you don’t actually know me personally, you probably aren’t aware that I’m a San Francisco 49ers fan. That’s been the case since I was fairly young, about the same time as the popularity of Tecmo Super Bowl for NES. I loved the Montana-to-Rice combo on the game, and I actually have family connections to the […]
