Definition of minstrel show in English:
minstrel showSyllabification: min·strel show
A popular stage entertainment featuring songs, dances, and comic dialogue in highly conventionalized patterns, usually performed by white actors in blackface. It developed in the US in the early and mid 19th century.
More example sentences
- Most of this was in vaudeville, where black casts replaced black-faced ones and performed the minstrel show songs and dances to delighted white audiences.
- Two weeks later, and perhaps entirely by coincidence, the Elks club of Lake City hosted a blackface minstrel show and urged attendees to 'lay aside your worries, and enjoy the occasion.'
- In the course of my research, I learned about the role the Irish played in the development of the black-faced minstrel show.

Insider knowledge: Blue Hanger - 9th Release (Berry Bros. & Rudd) whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from England. If distilled in America the spelling would be Blue Hanger - 9th Release (Berry Bros. & Rudd) whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Too sharp and too medicinal. A hint of TCP spoiled it for me but a blend will always have competing flavours in there.
10th April 2014
Amazing! Lightly peated. Very smooth. Really complex flavour.

Over the past two days, I have been going over the dos and don'ts (mostly the don'ts) of the fantasy baseball auction draft process.
Today I'll be continuing with Commandment No. 3, and after reading it, you will respect the nomination process!! Sorry, didn't mean to yell there.
If you haven't yet read the first two commandments, please click the links below:
Commandment #1: Do Your Homework
Commandment #2: Have a Plan, Then Have Another Plan
And now on to No. 3…
Commandment #3: Respect the Nomination Process
In a fantasy baseball auction draft the major action takes place when all of the GMs try and outbid, outfox, and outmaneuver one another. The strategy that usually gets overlooked is deciding the order in which the players will be fought over. When you put a player on the block you're in control and you're dictating the pace of the draft. Use that power wisely.
For instance, let's say that you absolutely love Josh Donaldson this year and getting him is one of your prime objectives. We're in the third round and so far the only third basemen who have been purchased are Miguel Cabrera for $45 and Adrian Beltre for $32. It's your turn to nominate. Your choices could be to:
A) Nominate Josh Donaldson
The upside:
At this point in the draft most GM's are interested in big time studs so by striking early you could end up snagging him for a bargain price. Also, you'll know going forward if you're drafting according to your original plan with Donaldson at the hot corner, or if you have to go to a plan B and wait for an "Ado" (Manny MachADO, Martin PrADO, Nolan ArenADO). The less variables you have to worry about the better.
The downside:
People still have money in their pockets and they've been waiting for weeks or months to draft, so they want to spend. There's a good chance you're going to have to pay a $5 tax to get this variable out of the way.

Your "corn monopoly" story with starving people (who apparently are unable to eat anythingy but corn) sounds like bunk. Please cite sources, please. Corn prices did rise, but it was due to government intervention in the market as it subsidized ethanol to the extent that corn was being diverted from food use to fuel. Also, communist China is hardly an example of an unfettered free market.

text: The Theatre March 9, 2009 Issue Broadway Boogie-Woogie "Guys and Dolls" rolls the dice again. Table of Contents Luck be a lady: Platt, Graham, Grant, and Bierko gamble on love. Credit ROBERT RISKO With all due respect to Nathan Detroit, the palooka who regularly runs a craps game behind the Biltmore garage in "Guys and Dolls" (in revival at the Nederlander), the oldest established permanent floating craps game in New York is actually the Broadway musical. A big roll of the dice, the musical is a paradigm of pluck 'n' luck, the jackpot in cap and bells. "Guys and Dolls," based on Damon Runyon's stories and subtitled "A Musical Fable of Broadway," mines both the rollicking vulgarity and the gleeful rapacity of the rialto. No wonder the show is so jubilant, so eloquent, so pitch-perfect. Has the big-risk-big-reward notion of entrepreneurial capitalism ever worn a happier face? From the first note of "Fugue for Tinhorns"—when the small-time gambler Nicely-Nicely Johnson picks a nag called Paul Revere—we are thrown into the thrilling hubbub of winning and losing, the hustler's version of the American percentage play. Before the show premièred, in 1950—it ran eleven hundred and ninety-four performances—songwriters frequently referred to Manhattan as a playground; "Guys and Dolls" made it one. Gaming, guzzling, gossiping, the mugs and molls who prowl its streets are all on the hunt: for riches, for love, and, in the case of the Salvation Army workers, for souls to be saved. They're having a helluva time. The question that must be asked of any musical is: Why do the characters sing? Here the audience is never in doubt. Broadway is too damn exciting; its denizens are too damn restless. ("ALWAYS OPEN 10 SHOWS A DAY," reads the blinking burlesque-house sign that is part of the almost overpowering neon glare of the current production.) The city is the buzz. "Where's the action?" "What's playing at the Roxy?" "What's in the Daily News?" "The Biltmore garage wants a grand." There's poetry to be limned from the empty streets "a couple of deals before dawn," and life lessons to be gleaned from shopping. "At Wanamaker's and Saks and Klein's / A lesson I've been taught: / You can't get alterations on a dress you haven't bought," the stripper Adelaide sings. At the center of "Guys and Dolls," glowing like a kind of nuclear core, is Frank Loesser's gorgeous music, which is, to my mind, one of the high-water marks of the genre. Loesser was a pint-size perfectionist. (He once stepped on a stool in order to slap an actress who wasn't singing at full tilt.) "Guys and Dolls" is musical comedy, not musical theatre. Loesser's songs may not expand the psychology of the characters, but they're always in character. His music and lyrics have tremendous range; they play the same high-low comic game as Runyon's stories, combining highfalutin classical-music elements with vulgar circumstances. For instance, "Oldest Established," a hymn to Nathan's craps game, ends as a cantata; his hustlers tip the ponies in Bach-like counterpoint. Loesser is one of the few lyricists who are genuinely funny in song; he revels in the sludge of urban locutions, and his lyrics are a feast of witty surprises. (He uses "streptococci" in song, for God's sake!) Words sit on the notes with uncanny ease and make them seem inevitable. "There are well-heeled shooters / Ev'rywhere ev'rywhere," the avid gamblers sing. "And an awful lot of lettuce / For the fella who can get us there." Loesser plays a demotic game with slang and syntax, a brilliant simulacrum of Runyon's comedy of manners. "Alright, already, it's true, so nu?" Nathan sings to Adelaide, claiming to love her despite all evidence to the contrary. "So sue me, sue me, / What can you do me?" Like Runyon's prose, the songs engineer a collision of punctilio and illiteracy. "So take back your mink, / To from whence it came," Adelaide sings during her specialty striptease at the Hot Box Club. "And tell them to Hollanderize it / For some other dame." The "from whence" just kills me. The director, Des McAnuff, who knows his way around musical theatre, and whose most recent gold mine was "Jersey Boys," delivers a successful slick evening, but not without stumbling out of the gate. "Guys and Dolls" traditionally opens with the trumpet voluntary of the "Racetrack First Call"; here, instead of beginning with a laugh that instantly draws the audience into the hustlers' comic universe, McAnuff imposes a reverential, overproduced, cornball preamble that leaves nothing to the imagination. We move from an image of Runyon typing the play's title onto a behemoth rear-projected downstage screen to a choreographed illustration of the louche New York underworld from which his characters emerged. After much generic Broadway bustle—from racetrack and subway to pool hall and boxing gym—we come to the newsstand where the gamblers are studying the racing forms, at which point Abe Burrow's tightly written, original book begins. Inevitably, the great opening song loses much of its wallop. But, once McAnuff stops competing with the musical's ingeniousness and settles down to serve the story, all is pretty much well. He nails "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," the show's eleven-o'clock number, by making Nicely-Nicely (Tituss Burgess) strut his gospel stuff on a row of empty chairs. Gleeful, rousing, and eye-popping, the staging is McAnuff at his inventive best. "We want people with bumps," Cy Feuer, one of the original producers of "Guys and Dolls," said of casting the show. As the current Nathan Detroit, the gambler who can't bring himself to bet on marriage, Oliver Platt is certainly an image of bumpiosity. A big man with a pickle nose and a belly that precedes him by a foot or so, Platt and his pin-striped suit are permanently rumpled. His Nathan, under pressure from the crapshooters to find a place to gamble and from Adelaide (Lauren Graham) to hand over a ring, sweats and dithers to charming effect. "The boys are slightly fatigued from weariness," Nathan tries to explain to Big Jule (the excellent Glenn Flesher), who wants to recoup his losses by using his own loaded dice. Platt's understated ambivalence is a good match for Graham's emotional full-court press. As the blond and frazzled Adelaide, who suffers from psychosomatic sneezing for lack of a marriage license, Graham makes a terrific Broadway début; she is a potent combination of sweetness and sexuality. "If she's getting a kind of a name for herself / And the name ain't his, / A person—can develop a cough," Adelaide sings in her famous lament. Graham's delight in the character is palpable across the footlights. She seems too young and too fresh for the lovelorn Adelaide, who has been waiting for fourteen years to become Mrs. Detroit. No matter, Graham's sly sense of humor and her clever delivery give her a winning fragility. Without overselling Adelaide's desperation or her dopiness, she captures both the role's poignance and its piquancy. "Tell him I never want to talk to him again," she sniffles to Sky Masterson (Craig Bierko), after one of many breakups. "And have him call me here!" In the musical's parallel romantic universe, Masterson, on a bet, pursues the pious, unbiddable Sarah Brown (Kate Jennings Grant), who is finally seduced by his suave good looks. Bierko, who has a strong voice and a strong chin, gives Masterson a credible whiff of daring and decency. Grant's starchiness, a certain reserve in her lean frame, also works well for Sarah as they sing about their ideal partners. "Mine will come as a surprise to me / Mine, I leave to chance—and chemistry," Masterson says. The lovers' chemistry has sufficient amperage. They fall under the spell of romance; the production falls under the spell of technology, which, at times, threatens to upstage the hardworking ensemble. (Dustin O'Neill's video designs are projected onto a gargantuan backdrop.) It is hard enough for the actors to win over the audience, let alone to defeat the set. But, in the end, "Guys and Dolls" trumps even stage effects; nothing but a four-alarm fire in the theatre would prevent these wonderful characters and memorable songs from coming across. "Guys and Dolls" débuted when America was a powerhouse; this lively revival arrives when the country is in the poorhouse. To see how the show's infectious buoyancy plays out in an entirely different economic and emotional climate is fascinating. If anything, the desperation of the story is closer to our own, and so is its mission of good times. Courage, after all, wants to laugh. ♦ You Might Like Jigsaw Puzzle Strongbox Submissions Goings On App About Us Caption Contest The New Yorker Festival ✕ The New Yorker Strongbox Strongbox is a new way for you to share information, messages, and files with our writers and editors and is designed to provide you with a greater degree of anonymity and security than afforded by conventional e-mail.

They are all disasters that permanently eliminate life and its diversity.
They are all the result of continental drift and are common near the centers of the crustal plates.
They only occur on islands.
They are all the result of continental drift and are common near the boundaries of the crustal plates.
What is an exaptation?
a single mutation that produces a brand-new, fully functional structure in a single step
a structure that initially served a different purpose becoming adapted for a new function
evolution of new traits through modification of developmental genes
gradual refinement of a feature for a particular function
When analyzing relationships among a particular group of taxa, how does a biologist decide which trees are the most parsimonious?
The most parsimonious tree produces the observed traits in the organisms with the lowest number of evolutionary changes.
The most parsimonious tree always arranges species from simpler to more complex over time.
The most parsimonious tree can be found by matching the phylogeny to known evolutionary trends.
The most parsimonious tree has the fewest number of branch tips (twigs) on it.
Which best summarizes the idea of adaptive evolution?
Adaptive evolution is a process of constant improvement that eventually leads to perfection.
Adaptive evolution produces clear trends in which all of the species in a group evolve to have similar adaptations at similar rates.
Adaptive evolution occurs as populations interact with changing local environments. Even a long-term trend can reverse itself if the environment changes dramatically.
Adaptive evolution is entirely a matter of chance, and therefore evolutionary trends will never occur except within individual species.
Which comparison accurately states why phylogenetic trees based on molecular data can be more informative than those based on morphology?
Molecular data is easier to obtain for fossil organisms.
Molecular systematics uses the principle of parsimony, which is not used to build trees using morphological data.
Molecular data are cheap and easy to obtain, whereas morphological studies require expensive laboratory equipment.
Molecular data is often more helpful in discovering relationships among very closely or very distantly related species.
Which correctly orders the likely steps in the origin of life from nonlife early in Earth's history, from earliest to most recent?
formation of protobionts → abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules → formation of proteins and nucleic acids → origin of self-replicating molecules of inheritance
abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules → formation of proteins and nucleic acids → origin of self-replicating molecules of inheritance → formation of protobionts
abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules → formation of proteins and nucleic acids → formation of protobionts → origin of self-replicating molecules of inheritance
formation of protobionts → origin of self-replicating molecules of inheritance → abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules → formation of proteins and nucleic acids
Which of the following organisms make up the monophyletic clade derived from the ancestor at node 3 in the figure shown below?
red kangaroo and North American beaver
eastern box turtle, duck-billed platypus, red kangaroo, and North American beaver
duck-billed platypus, red kangaroo, and the North American beaver
red kangaroo
Which option accurately describes continental drift?
The continents floating on the oceans change position relative to one another.
Crustal plates floating on the mantle change position relative to one another.
Continents float and slide around on a stable underlying crust.
The shape and relative positions of coastlines change due to changes in sea level.
Which pair of organisms, if found together in the same well-defined fossil layer, would cause a major rethinking of our current understanding of the fossil record?
prokaryotes and bony fish
marine algae and bony fish
dinosaurs and amphibians
dinosaurs and apes
Why did mammals experience an increase in diversity shortly after the Cretaceous?
Aquatic mammals thrived in the low coastal areas formed because of continental drift.
The mammals finally evolved to be strong enough to fight and out-compete the dinosaurs.
Mammals thrived on iridium, which can be used as an energy source by mammals but not dinosaurs.
Mammals diversified to take advantage of ecological roles that were previously filled by the dinosaurs.
Why does Australia have a great diversity of marsupials (pouched mammals) while North America has a great diversity of placental mammals? Refer to the figure below as you answer.
The landmass that broke away to form Australia initially had both marsupials and placental mammals, but the few placental species soon went extinct. The marsupials then diversified in isolation on Australia, whereas placental mammals diversified elsewhere.
Marsupials originated in Australia after the breakup of the continents.
After a long period of coexistence, marsupials out-competed placental mammals in Australia.
Placental mammals cannot survive in the harsh conditions of Australia, so after the continent became isolated the placental mammals evolved to become marsupials.
Why is rRNA such a useful tool in molecular systematics?
It evolves quite rapidly.
It doesn't change at all, so it is a useful control to ensure that sequence data is accurate.
Only advanced organisms have rRNA, so it is a useful derived character.
It evolves quite slowly, allowing comparisons to be made between distantly related organisms.
You are studying a group of closely related rodent species that are native to central portions of South America and Africa. Both the rodents and their fossils are entirely absent from other continents. These rodents slowly disperse over land, but do not cross areas of salt water. With reference to the figure below, when did this group probably originate?
in the recent Cenozoic, less than 50 million years ago
in the late Mesozoic, about 65 million years ago
in the Mesozoic, about 135 million years ago
in the late Paleozoic, about 251 million years ago
You have found a fossil of a soft-bodied animal. You suspect it is from the late Proterozoic (about 600 million years old). Which isotope would be the best choice to approximate the actual age of the fossil?

I changed my ringtone to Eleven's theme and now everytime someone calls me, I feel like something awesome and exciting is about to happen.
I ordered 4 samples from Notoriously Morbid ($1.25 each), and she graciously sent me 2 more. I used this pressing tutorial to press 5 of them because I only had 5 empty pans left. I think mine didn't press as pretty as hers because she used 70% alcohol and says to wait 1-2 hours to press them. I used 91% alcohol and waited about an hour, but I think next time, I'll only wait a half hour or so.
The eyeshadows in the top left of the palette in the last picture are from Shiro Cosmetics (they also come loose, and I pressed them). You can purchase a pressing kit from TKB Trading, but they also sell the empty pans by themselves or with the tamping tool (the press tile with the little handle, it makes it easier to press). They also sell empty palettes in 12-pan and 4-pan sizes, but my magnetic palette is from etsy, and the pans stick really well to it.
"I know she'll be in good hands."
Great, now I don't even have the surprise of 12's costume to look forward to. Thanks.

Book Description:One Fine FoxFour famished foxes make fun of their brother Fosdyke, who feels fondly for fried figs, fennel, and French bread. Leaving him behind to fry and flambé, they go foraging for fowl in a forbidden farmyard. Unfortunately, the foxes find the fowl forwarned. Foiled, they return to their den. Will they ever filch a fabulous farmyard feast? Or will they forgo fowl and finally admit that "a fox is a fox whatever the food"?

Weekdays at 2pm on 92.3 KTAR
Mac & Gaydos
McCain: Could Obama be hiding something?
Sen. John McCain is calling for a Watergate-style congressional committee to investigate the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya after President Barack Obama failed to answer direct questions about the attack.
"It's this kind of B.S. that I continue to find his leadership just lacking," Meghan McCain told KTAR's News/Talk 92.3 Mac Watson and Larry Gaydos. "I mean just answering a direct question, which he's not doing, makes me think he's hiding something."
Sen. McCain said Wednesday that "The American people deserve answers to these and other questions related to the Benghazi attack. Congress has a unique Constitutional role to play in getting to the truth of this matter as well as well as compiling the lessons of this tragedy so it's not repeated."
McCain said she can't speak for what her father does or doesn't know, but feels he is in the right for questioning the president.
"An ambassador, in my opinion, has been slaughtered by terrorists and insurgents and there just really hasn't been any explanation," she said. "It was dodged during the election. I think he and Sen. Lindsey Graham are totally in the right to call the president for real answers."
During Obama's first press conference in months he said, "If Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me."
McCain also talked about the Gen. Patraeus and Paula Broadwell scandal.
"My favorite is there was 20,000 to 30,000 emails exchanged of sexting. That is an unfathomable amount of sexting to have gone on. What are you guys doing all day?," said McCain.
She said she thinks marriages and affairs are between husband and wife and doesn't care who people sleep with, unless classified information has been compromised.
"From her point, this is a woman that went to West Point. She should be ashamed of herself. I really think that she is compromising national security," said McCain. "I, for one, was always a big fan of Gen. Petraeus and I'm sad to see him leave the CIA because I think it will affect our national security."
President Obama reluctantly accepted Petraeus' resignation earlier this week.
McCain believes it depends on how much classified information Broadwell was given if Petraeus will be able to come back.

Dubois smoking house an intentional actJune 4, 2014
By BILL POWELL
Herald Staff Writer
DUBOIS — Firefighters checking into smoke coming from an abandoned Dubois home Tuesday afternoon found signs it was an intentional act.
The Dubois Volunteer Fire Department was called at 4:50 p.m. to a vacant house at 5425 E. Sycamore St. owned by retired Dubois veterinarian Merill Ranck, who lives on Main Street in Dubois, according to department spokesman Zach Eichmiller.
Upon arrival, firefighters who discovered smoke gained entry and found a small amount of paper products smoldering in the corner of a room near some scrap wood. No flames were visible, Eichmiller said, but firefighters did hose down the smoldering area.
The fire appeared to have been intentionally set by an unknown person, according to Eichmiller.
The department called in the Dubois County Sheriff's Department to assist and the incident remains under investigation.
Two trucks and 21 firefighters were on the scene 40 minutes.
There were no injuries but a Memorial Hospital Emergency Medical Services ambulance assisted on standby.

Watching Ted, Mark Wahlberg's cussing (and pot-smoking) teddy bear, feels—according to my friends—a lot like talking to me in person (language-wise at least). Ted the teddy bear is obscene and overtly straightforward, doesn't beat around the bush, loves the party life and refuses to grow up to adulthood. But what can we really expect of a teddy bear borne out of a Christmas wish? The saving grace is the hyped moral story of friendship and commitment; while with few funny, politically-incorrect and socially-inappropriate antics, and a dashing Mila Kunis in between, Ted pulls off some justice to comedy.

The Texas Rangers are bringing ballpark eats to the streets with the debut of the baseball club's new food truck. Dubbed the Ballpark Express and painted with flaming racing stripes, the 18-foot Ford F-550 features a full kitchen and an exterior flat-panel TV to display menu items.There's already a Twitter handle (@TXBpExpress) and a Facebook page. But don't expect to find the truck at your local food park. This one primarily caters private events, from tailgate parties to wedding receptions."We're not trying to compete with food trucks on the street corners," said Shawn Mattox, general manager of the Metroplex office of Delaware North Companies Sportservice, the Rangers' food and beverage partner. "We want to bring the ballpark experience to your next catered event. We wanted to share what we're doing here at the ballpark with the community, whether it's the Boomstick or a ballpark hot dog."The truck is the first for Sportservice, and Mattox said he's not aware of another food truck associated with a professional sports team. When the Ballpark Express isn't booked for home-game tailgate parties, fans could find the mobile kitchen parked nearby, providing another outlet for the ballpark's increasingly popular creative concessions."There's a group of us at the end of the season that brainstorms for the next year [based on] what our fans like and what are new trends in food," said executive chef Cris Vazquez, who has been with the ballpark for seven seasons and has more than 22 years of experience in corporate kitchens. He added that the ballpark's big-food craze has been a huge hit.Truck menu items, based on the ballpark's offerings, are customizable upon booking. This year's choices include a lineup of gargantuan gourmet options. New colossal creations include the Murph-A-Dilla, a 24-inch quesadilla topped with smoked brisket that pays tribute to outfielder David Murphy, and the football-sized Beltre Buster, a 24-ounce burger named for heavy hitter Adrian Beltre. Both hefty items are $26 and can be found at the ballpark's new Texas Sized 24 concession stand.Fan-favorite menu package ideas for the food truck include a taste of the ballpark's Taqueria stand, including breakfast tacos, pulled chicken tacos and brisket nachos, and a sampling of the Smokehouse 557 stand, which includes chopped beef sandwiches, smoked turkey legs and grilled corn on the cob."I'm really proud of what chef Cris and our culinary team, as well as our operational staff, does here at the ballpark," Mattox said. "We have a lot of fun with the food that we serve and I think it shows. We felt it would be neat to take that show on the road."For fans craving a taste of the ballpark from their own kitchen, Vazquez shares the recipe for the Beltre Buster."You need bigger bowls for this," he advised.Beltre Buster1 1/2 cups Montreal steak seasoning (or desired steak seasoning)1 teaspoon garlic powder1 teaspoon onion powder1 teaspoon smoked paprika4 pounds ground beef2 eggs1 large onion (sliced or julienned)12 slices applewood-smoked bacon4 extra-large hamburger buns (see note)1 cup roasted red pepper mayonnaise (recipe follows)12 slices pepper jack cheese1. Preheat grill to medium.2. In a small bowl, mix the spices together.3. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef with eggs, using your hands to ensure the eggs are incorporated well into the beef.4. Add in the spices, and mix well. Portion the ground beef mixture into four equal-sized round patty shapes.5. Grill the beef patties 7 to 8 minutes on each side (for medium well).6. Meanwhile, saute or grill the onion until caramelized, and keep warm. Fry or grill bacon slices until crispy.7. Toast the buns, then spread roasted pepper mayo on both halves of each.8. Place three slices of cheese, three slices of bacon and some onions on top of each patty, and serve between buns.Note: The ballpark custom-orders challah bread from Dallas-based Empire Baking Company, and the large buns are occasionally available via special order from its retail store during baseball season (5450 W. Lovers Lane, 214-350-0007).

Phil Dawson converted all five of his field goal attempts as San Francisco beat Kansas City 22-17. Dawson's 27-yard go-ahead field goal was setup by a trick play.
While the NFL's handling of domestic abuse cases is being scrutinized, and folk are calling for Goodell's job, the league's inquiry skills concerning other sensitive matters is also worthy of further review.
The so-called "presumption of innocence" isn't what's in play here. An arrest is in play here. A horrific accusation is in play here. The NFL's standard of conduct and behavior is in play here.
It's time for all of us all to act, and to demand much more from those in positions of leadership in the NFL. I also hope that President Obama and Members of Congress voice their views, not to score political blood-score points, but as human beings who are fathers and mothers, who want America to be a place where their daughters don't live in fear.
It's going to be difficult for the Chicago Bears to vanquish the San Francisco 49ers on opening night at brand new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
The NFL needs not only to punish players who engage in domestic violence. It also needs to educate all its players about this issue.
The San Francisco 49ers opened the 2014 season with a 28-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1. That, however, won't be their biggest opener of the season.

This whole Sherman story got me thinking about if such a thing as a non-obnoxious sports fan can really exist and I'm beginning to think the answer is no. This binary, black-or-white mentality of being a sports fan makes us all quite repellent.
Let's start with the fact literally every postgame analyst his missed -- the 49ers really missed their "Swiss Army Knife" fullback, the injured Bruce Miller.
The shame should really be on all of us, not just Richard Sherman. Sportsmanship should be the topic, with an emphasis on respect.
Ironically, the same folk that are calling Sherman a thug are the same folk that called Jonathan Martin a "sissy" for taking a professional and personal stand against harassment.
There are rare and appreciated moments of indescribable surrealism in everyone's life, and witnessing the Seahawks and the Niners vie for a Super Bowl berth was definitely one of them in mine.
