The greatest of all time??

The guy is unbelievable to watch, which I did Sunday night when he played against the Chiefs. That game did it for me. He's the best ever. That 85-yard run against the Chiefs was sick! How fast did he look when he turned the corner?! He can outrun guys. He can make defenders miss. He can run with power (How's that stiff-arm taste, Champ?). He can catch the ball out of the backfield, catch it lined up as a receiver and even throw a few TD's here and there. Simply put, he can do it all. Thank you, L.T. for being so amazing to watch. And thank you for carrying my fantasy football teams to the top of two leagues.

Want to smell like a sweaty Dale Earnhardt, Jr.??

Found this great article and Christmas gift idea on MSNBC's website. Apparently NASCAR is going to start marketing and selling ... COLOGNE!!

"This week, the International Speedway Corp., the owner of the world-famous Daytona racing oval, along with perfume and beauty products maker Elizabeth Arden, announced they were giving the green flag to the Daytona 500 scent, the 'first sporting-event branded fragrance'. The Daytona 500 fragrance leverages the prestige and popularity of this premier sporting event to reach consumers and motorsports enthusiasts across the country," said Elizabeth Arden Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Scott Beattie. "We look forward to introducing this outstanding fragrance at the 48th annual Daytona 500."

Brian Tracey, who wrote the article, also said "the companies didn't give any detail as to what Daytona 500 actually smells like. Exhaust fumes with a note of burnt rubber? Budweiser and brake fluid?" The jokes here are endless. How about sun-warmed Keystone Light mixed with drops of sweat extracted from a soaking wet "Dixie Pride" tank top. Any more ideas as to what the scent could be?

Taryn, if you read this, all I have to say is "PLEASE!!!"

Free speech on college campuses

This story from Michigan State is becoming all too familiar. A Republican congressman from Colorado, who was a guest speaker at the school for a forum on immigration, was shouted down and his speech completely disrupted by protesters. The protesters also twice pulled fire alarms in the building and allegedly kicked and spit on organizers of the speech. Video of the event, which I saw on the news, will probably show up on YouTube if you want to check it out. Here's another article (click on the link for "Mob Rule on College Campuses") that recounts similar incidents. I know Ann Coulter faced similar disruptions during her speech here at USF. The sad thing is that the number of conservative speakers on college campuses already pales in comparison to the number of liberal speakers. I'd be surprised if anyone could find one secular college or university that even comes close to an equal ideological represention among guest lecturers. But even the large disparity in representation doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy some progressive liberals. It's just sad to see that the same groups and people who set themselves up as champions of free speech are also first in line to take it away from those with different views.
