Good Morning, Broncos fans! Denver made a surprising move yesterday, waiving Quan Cosby and bringing back FB Austin Sylvester. Cosby had been an effective return man for much of the season, with a 10.0-yard average on 27 punts and a 26.9-yard average on 17 kickoffs, before muffing a punt against New England and being a healthy scratch against Buffalo. Cosby's release leaves Eddie Royal and Eric Decker as punt returners, with Matt Willis presumably returning kickoffs (he returned seven kicks Sunday for a 19.7-yard average).
Denver also waived FB Will Ta'ufo'ou from the practice squad and added TE Cornelius Ingram in his place.
Tebow has ways to go to win respect as QB from fellow players
It should be noted, by the way, that Tebow's most recent falter against the Bills, which included four interceptions, occurred after the Pro Bowl vote. Tebow's season was instead judged on his seven wins and two losses (to playoff teams Detroit and New England).
While he might forever muster a respectable portion of the fan vote (which accounts for one-third of the overall selection process), attaining the vote of the players and coaches (which each also account for one-third) will be a different story.
Romeo Crennel to use Chiefs' starters
Few people outside Oakland would begrudge the Chiefs for taking it easy against Denver. Crennel doesn't expect that to be the case, though. He plans to put his best team on the field rather than get some young players in for the experience, guys like rookie quarterback Ricky Stanzi who have spent the majority of the season on the practice squad or the sideline.
"Every game that you play, the guy has to look in the mirror and know he's giving his best effort to try to win the game," Crennel said. "I think that's the case Sunday with Denver, every guy on the team, the coaches included. Like I said, it's never one guy."
It's wishful thinking to suggest that Romeo Crennel approach Week 17 against the Broncos as if it doesn't matter.
It's also comical. Hey Romeo, um, listen, would you mind playing your practice squad quarterback this game, you know, for experience? We know you want to coach again in this league and want to win bad, but let's pull back on that fire a bit and let Ricky Stanzi play this thing out. He could be the real deal.
Although the NFL is set to officially announce the
Popularity Contest Pro Bowl rosters at 7PM ET, word has slipped out that Broncos stars Von Miller, Champ Bailey and Elvis Dumervil have made the AFC squad. Ryan Clady, Britton Colquitt, Brian Dawkins, Willis McGahee, Matt Prater and Tim Tebow have been named as alternates. This marks Champ's 11th selection in his 13-year career, while for Dumervil it's his second.
Happy Tuesday, friends. I have limited time today, due to a confluence of continuing holiday activities and the continuation of my year-end financial close, so I'm just going to share some observations from my fantastic trip to Buffalo on Saturday.
a. It's really pretty funny, but Tim Tebow looked great in warmups before the game, and during the game. Whenever he was just making throws in non-game situations, the throws were perfectly on-target, and his delivery looked excellent. Didn't his reputation used to be that he couldn't make a throw in warmups? Maybe it was bizarro Tim on Saturday – good in practice, shaky in the fourth quarter of actual games?
Seriously, though, of the interceptions I witnessed in person, there were three flavors of them. The first one was a good decision and a very good job extending the play, but a terrible overthrow of Demaryius Thomas. The second pick was a case of staring down Eric Decker and not looking off a Cover-1 Safety; Tebow needs to get better at looking away from the intended receiver, because Decker had his corner beat, and the throw was good, if Jairus Byrd isn't able to jump it.
Tracking Tebow, Week 16: Defenses are catching on
A week after New England worked to contain Tebow in the pocket and forced him to win the game with his arm, Buffalo perfected the game plan. The Bills usually rushed four, dropped seven into coverage, made sure Tebow didn't break the pocket for long runs, and made him squeeze throws into tight windows, often with disastrous results.
But don't mistake the Bills' game plan for Tebow reverting to the form that had him embarrassed by the Lions back in October. He continues to improve, even if incrementally. The problem: as defenses become more comfortable recognizing and attacking the Broncos' option scheme, Denver will need to find ways to adapt. And that will mean using Tebow in more conventional ways. Can they (he) do it?
Good Morning, Broncos fans! According to Nick Canepa, the Chargers will fire Norv Turner at some point next week, and there's a good chance that A.J. Smith will be joining him. For his two cents, Canepa thinks firing Smith would be a mistake, and he says not only that rumors of Bill Cowher already having interviewed for Turner's gig are untrue, but that San Diego owner Dean Spanos is unlikely to hire one person to handle both the GM and head coaching duties - something Cowher is said to be seeking.
If Smith retains the GM gig, Canepa is hearing that Jeff Fisher could be interested in joining the Chargers, but he says Smith's closeness to Jon Gruden makes Chucky the best fit for the job, if not the most likely successor to Turner. Meanwhile, Kevin Acee writes that should Spanos drop the axe on Smith, the Rams will pounce and hire the egomaniacal pair of A.J. and Chucky. This would apparently send current Rams HC Steve Spagnuolo back to Philly as their DC, and of course it also would free up Josh McDaniels (this part is my speculation) to potentially be reunited with Scott Pioli in KC as either his head coach or handpicked OC - perhaps under Romeo Crennel.
Miller's production has slipped after injury
Miller, the No. 2 overall draft pick, needs three sacks Sunday at Kansas City to tie Jevon Kearse's rookie record of 14.5 sacks, set in 1998. San Francisco's Aldon Smith, the No. 7 overall draft pick, has 14 sacks. He has 6.5 sacks since Miller's injury. It will be interesting to see who wins the NFL defensive rookie of the year award. Miller has been on the field more than Smith and has he had a bigger impact throughout the year, but Smith's sacks numbers may be difficult to deny even though Miller has 29 more tackles than Smith.
Williamson raises a fair point that wouldn't have been even remotely possible three weeks ago. As we know, and as John Elway confirmed this morning, Miller's hand injury has affected his sack totals. But do sack numbers mean more than overall production? Let's just quickly throw down the lines of both players"
|QB Sacks
|QB Hits
|QB Pressures
|Aldon Smith
|Von Miller
I could have easily turned all of these into rate stats (sacks/snap, etc.), but they would essentially show the same thing: Aldon Smith has been more productive as a pass rusher, while Miller has been more productive overall. We're clearly biased here at IAOFM. We think Miller is the next Derrick Thomas, but with the chops to also play the running game. Does that mean he's Defensive Rookie of the Year? In our minds, it certainly does.
Bill Maher Slams Tim Tebow on Twitter
On Saturday, Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos had a very bad day as they lost to the Buffalo Bills 40 - 14. That led so-called comedian Bill Maher to tweet: "Wow, Jesus just f****d #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler 'Hey, Buffalo's killing them.'
Fox News' Eric Bolling responded: "Bill Maher is disgusting vile trash. I can't even repeat what he just tweeted about Tebow..on Christmas Eve. #straighttohellBill"
Eventually I'll learn not to dip my toe into these things, but until then, here we go. I get satire; I get hyperbole; in fact, I engage in a fair amount of it myself. Sometimes, I'll even get a reader who emails me upset until I remind them that they shouldn't read every headline I write literally until reading the story.
When you're a young and impressionable man, they send you--cleanly shaven, of course--to Satire School. On the first day, before they assign you lockers, they write on the chalkboard the fundamental rule: No Hitler jokes.
12-26 The John Elway Show Part 1
"...turnovers kind of got to us again…we were in the football game, and the next thing we knew, we were kind of out of the football game…execution hasn't been as good in the last couple weeks, but we haven't done anything to help ourselves with turnovers."
Elway said little of significance (as you'd expect) in this interview. He's probably just glad it's his last of the year with Vic and Gary. Here are a few of the nuggets:
The biggest revelation to me from this interview is that the Broncos don't give Tim Tebow a lot of audibles. Elway also confirmed something we've suspected all along--Von Miller really doesn't like playing with a cast on his hand.
Although we poke a little fun at Vic and Gary from time to time, props to them for putting Elway on the spot. The Broncos said they wanted to be more transparent this year. Vic and Gary made them live up to that promise.

+ Moon Madness
I've heard of psychiatric patients trying to drive their analysts crazy, but bringing out all this lesbian business...
Bernard certainly had a way about him--a certain playboy, feckless charm. A psychopath of course, but through the years of analysis, he had given much pleasure. Indeed, it pleased me to believe his tales for minutes at a time. He wasn't getting any better, only more polished, but he appreciated the gloss that I had given him and so did I--it made our sessions so much more entertaining.
In the first year, he had sown a seed (or perhaps he had only watered it!). Then he fondly watched it grow. In due season, with the true gardener's canny eye, he judged the time to be ripe. "You are a lesbian, Miss Ambleside," he had declared, unusually forthright, one sunny afternoon.
I merely gazed at him. He had been such a patient patient, nurtured the seedling for so long that now I was laden with fruit, my branches creaked and sagged. With a triangular smile gaping on his paper-white face he dazzled me; he boggled his eyes, vibrated his wiry brows. Even his rusty hair curled and crackled. And then, having all of my attention, he turned his head and beamed our combined gaze at Miss Amelia Blondesberry, State Registered Nurse (Psychiatric) as she slowly passed, trundling a wheelchair, doting patient contained. "That," he said, "is your prey!"
I chased down my prey all right, like a good born-again carnivore, and vanquished it. The good, well-bred, house-proud, house-trained State Registered Nurse (through dilated but beautifully-fringed Piscean eyes) saw this podgy, middle-aged nascent dyke as her tall and darkly handsome Heathcliffe, noless.
"Cathy, Cathy" I crooned at Miss Amelia, playing the game with gusto and faint cinematic memories of Merle and Larry O.
"You came!" she cried, swooning on cue and smiling as we pursued our happy little play.
We were enraptured as the moon shone through the casement. The Hospital Committee was not. Thus, when the privatisation of the NHS began in earnest in the early nineteen nineties and Her Majesty's government let loose a great flood of the physically and mentally "challenged" into the heaving bosoms of their families, my reprobate self was washed up in their befuddled wake.
At first, I pursued my previous profession in a private capacity, that is, I advised and assisted and aided and abetted former patients in their new lives outside the institution, this time at the behest of their less-than-patient nearests and dearests. Then I broadened my private patient list to include those less mentally-disabled more emotionally-unabled women of grief, guilt and unconfronted grievances.
Thus, in my North London consulting room in the front of a house in Hackney, I met the modern woman. I listened to her, and so did she. I learned of Jung and Dreams and mother-love and of the Tarot and the Goddess. She learned to love herself and sometimes she loved me. I put a mirror up before these often beautiful women, in their twenties and mutinous thirties; in their linen shorts or trousers or their peasant-style skirts, and sometimes the clouds parted and they saw themselves and liked what they saw.
Perhaps we sat in silence till they spoke or, if the silence weighed too heavily, I said, "Did you dream?" And they did, she did. So I would be told. And the images would flutter and glitter like butterflies in the white-walled blankness of my room, till they made a shimmering, pleasing tapestry to adorn the walls.
I enjoyed those days, but went home in the evenings restless and alone to my one-bedroomed flat atop a four-floored, late-Victorian conversion. I didn't even have a cat.
However, I did have a small garden and that turned out to be my shortest path to physical release. No, I didn't sublimate my passions digging and delving in the stubborn London clay. Instead, being short of time and less short of cash, I engaged a horny-handed gardener who, in due season, engaged me in amatory tussles in the potting shed (amongst other agreeably grimy places.)
Oh! Davinia Bulstrode! How often did I bounce around beneath your beefy thighs?
Ah, tribadism. What an effort! What an exodus! What an arid waste of time! Or so I thought, till one post-horticultural evening, I flipped her over and she liked it; consequently no longer liking me. (No, I couldn't follow the logic either. I only knew I'd lost a gardener and a fond companion. I missed the latter more--the dahlias saw it differently.) I bought myself a cat and gave the garden back to the weeds.
Davinia was the first in a fairly long line of fairly memorable women who I have known (and vice versa) in the time between the Institution and the present day. Another such was Suzee Jellycube. Of course that wasn't her real name; her parents called her Beryl, but she changed it.
Suzee was a bright, pretty south London girl who worked in a shoe shop. I loved her for her ignorance, but, unable to resist ploughing a fallow field, I told her about Jung and read books to her about the Goddess. She was impressed, she was inspired, she made us have a witches' wedding and burnt more than her fingers as we jumped the ritual fire.
Suzee changed her name again, this time in honour of our union. She became Hestia the Hearth Goddess, and wouldn't leave the house. Instead, I was required to vacate my north London flat (though I retained the tenancy, not being quite as optimistic as Hestia about our union, and wanting instead to give it an as-it-were "trial run" before making any irreversible decisions. Naturally I did not think it prudent to trouble Hestia with this detail--I would of course quietly let my tenancy lapse in the nearest future--just as soon as I felt as assured of the durability of the relationship as Hestia undoubtedly was), and to move south of the river with Mister Bates, my spiteful tom.
Our fire blazed all through that Winter then turned to ashes in the Spring. I was ashamed to leave her but secretly glad I'd kept up the payments on my flat. Out of guilt as much as anything, I declared myself still "married" to Suzee for another six months after we split. Suzee heard me say it and gazed at me in attentive silence while I spoke, but perhaps surprisingly didn't offer the same guarantee.
Celibacy was difficult at first, but got easier. Perhaps because I knew it wouldn't last forever. In fact my avowed marriage and my celibacy ended on the same night, more or less six months after breaking up with Suzee. The night I met some real old-fashioned dykes, or "gay girls" as I imagined they would call themselves.
I was way outside my usual run, up out in the country. One of my regulars, Marlene, had thrown a wobbly and was too far gone to travel to me. I motored over--all part of the service.
Afterwards, to soothe my nerves before the long drive back from that sturdy, grey-stone town, I went into the nearest pub I could find.
Fortune must have led me into the back bar, because that is where I found my Sapphic sisters, some couple of dozen of them at any rate.
They looked happy enough in the dim reddish half-light, and not too sad to see me. One couple, in particular, Dutch and Daisy, as it turned out, chatted me up in a slow, amiable way, from the minute I got there. That made me feel very welcome indeed.
I had had more to drink than I meant to by the time me and Daisy got down to our fourth boogie on the tiny dance floor. I'd been a bit chary of monopolising Daisy at first, but Dutch had good-naturedly waved us on. Could be she had other ideas anyway; there was a big blonde in a very small tee shirt sitting in a group in a dark corner. Every time she laughed, which was often, she threw back her head and her breasts lifted half an inch. I could see Dutch had noticed.
I went back to boogying.
Daisy was a sweet girl and did not seem to mind when I laid my chubby hand on the narrow part of her back, just above her bum. She smiled a honeyed smile and snuggled against me when I moved that hand slowly up and down. I was very aware of the sliver of shiny black lycra that served as her skirt.
By the time we sat down again, I was thinking enough was enough. Even the tolerant Dutch surely would not put up with much more.
The deejay seemed to agree because then the music stopped and the lights came on. A lot of glamour left the room at that and so did Dutch.
Daisy reached across the table and gripped my hands till her knuckles went white. I stared into her pretty blue eyes, trying to focus. I'd certainly put a lot away, now I came to think of it. Dutch came back. Daisy dropped my hand.
"Do you want to stay over?" she said in her strong, frank voice.
"Could do, if you don't mind. Both of you." In truth, I was so drunk that if they hadn't taken me home that night, I'd have had to sleep in the car in the pub car park.
On the drive to their place through darkened streets and then through darkened lanes, I sat in the back with Daisy who appeared to be asleep. I say "appeared" because five minutes into the journey, she took my hand and placed it between her legs. Her slippery skirt had risen high on her thighs and she was naked underneath it. I felt the wetness and withdrew. I hoped to hell Dutch hadn't seen anything incriminating in the mirror.
The little terraced house was in darkness in the under-illuminated street. Dutch let us in.
Daisy seemed to be sleepwalking. She went straight upstairs without a backward glance. Dutch was more hospitable. She took me into their neat front room and treated me to some more Scotch and a lecture on the breeding and showing of Boxer dogs. They had rosettes and much-polished cups in display cabinets on one of the walls.
"Profitable line of business?" I enquired.
"Yes. Okay." She seemed distracted. I hoped she wasn't mad at me. I hoped she hadn't looked in the mirror. I hoped she wasn't working herself up into a jealous rage. I began to formulate in my head some sort of explanation, if not excuse, for my bad manners.
Abruptly she said, "I'm going to bed. Have another drink if you like. Oh yes, and your room is through here."
Surprised, I followed her stocky, strong figure out of the front room and along a short passage. I had not expected my own room, more likely a couple of blankets and a sofa would have been it. I was forgetting, of course, people can often afford bigger living spaces outside of London and the big cities.
The room she showed me was small and square, with a high window and no curtain. There were DIY tools in one corner, including an electric hammer drill. On a shelf, by a heap of magazines, was a sewing machine.
"Excuse the untidiness," she said. "Goodnight."
"Oh. Goodnight."
I stood in the room for a minute, flicking through the magazines. "Sewing World." Instalments of a part-work. Seemed to be a complete set.
The moon shone nearly full through the small, high window. I wasn't drunk anymore. I didn't want any more to drink either. But I did want to urinate.
I made my way through to the stairs and up. The house was completely silent, apart from my own footsteps. I kept it as quiet as I could.
In the bright silver light of the moon, I found what I took to be the bathroom. Helpfully, there was a laminated sticker of a pretty little mermaid on the door. She was smiling.
I was cleaning my teeth with toothpaste and my fingers, when the bathroom door suddenly opened. Slowly and as quietly as could be.
Daisy! Sleepwalking in with a blank look in her shiny blue eyes, and a tender half-smile on her lips. She was wearing a short pink chiffon nightie and fluffy, furry slippers. She pressed up against me without a moment's hesitation, and of course, she wasn't sleepwalking really because she looked me in the eyes then, and giggled up into my face.
"You smell of toothpaste," she said.
She smelt warm and sweet and soft and rich and tasty. And she was. This time I didn't back off, and she came into my hands like warm milk.
I woke up at five in the morning. The grey light easing through the square high window showed me the time on my watch. I was in the room Dutch had given me; Daisy snuggled beside me. She breathed quick and quiet like a cat. I wanted to leave. I wanted her to leave. I wanted it all to have been a dream. But most of all I wanted Daisy; wanted some more of that warm flowing milk.
I stayed for breakfast. Daisy persuaded me. In fact, at six-thirty in the misty morning she ran out of the front door and hid my car keys somewhere or other amongst the rhododendrons. Just making it back over the front doorstep seconds ahead of the milkman. Daisy was stark naked.
I could have found the keys or tickled her till she told me, but I took it as a compliment and put a brave face on for my morning-after meeting with Dutch.
However, all we had for breakfast was cornflakes, tea, kippers and toast. No Dutch. No confrontation.
I wanted to ask my little, pretty Daisy where her partner was, but suddenly words failed me. Daisy did not seem nearly so approachable now and I couldn't think how to put it. She seemed locked up in private thoughts, though she managed to munch her way through more than her fair share of breakfast. In fact, it was me who lost my appetite. How long had Dutch been gone? All the time I had been with Daisy, maybe she had been somewhere else, not tucked up in her own bed, nice and cosy.
All my feelings of euphoria drained away. It was the blonde from the bar, that was it! Suddenly I saw the whole picture. I'd been set up. Far from Daisy being my conquest, I'd been picked by the pair of them to keep Daisy company while Dutch went to her lover.
I remembered that Dutch hadn't left the pub right away. She had gone somewhere for a few minutes while me and Daisy giggled our way to the car. The car! Their car! I'd been too drunk to drive. I'd left the Citroen in the pub car park. They'd probably got me drunk deliberately.
I looked across the kitchen table at dear Daisy. Her mouth didn't look so soft nor her eyes so bright as before. I felt sorry for Daisy for a moment. Then I felt sorry for myself.
"Will you drive me back to the pub?"
"I can't drive," she said.
I didn't see Dutch's car when I left for the long walk to the bus stop. It wasn't in the pub car park either, though, thankfully the Citroen was.
I got in, started the engine, and went off down the motorway back to north London with the taste of milk sour in my mouth.
The cat was in and so was Sammie by the time I arrived. Naturally Sammie wanted to know where I had been so long. (A day and a night was a long time to Sammie when she wanted to see me, and a month wasn't when she didn't.) It wasn't the first time I regretted giving her a key.
Sammie is a girl who has made much of herself--a pale-skinned Black woman with a broad, slow smile and painted-on eyebrows. At the age of twelve Sammie bashed and battered her native Manchester vowels until she spoke the Queen's English more clearly and with as much deliberation as the Queen herself. At the age of seventeen, the eldest of thirteen children, Sammie quit her mother's home, bussed down the motorway and talked her way into the smartest job she could: sitting in a neat, pretty uniform behind the reception desk in a medium-sized London hotel. From there Sammie, with clarity, deliberation and near-perfect diction, smoothed the path of eager, harassed foreign visitors, who scarcely spoke any English at all.
I hope she was never as hard on them as she sometimes was on me.
I met Sammie Dash through an ad in a contact magazine, in the days when I didn't know how else to meet women. She said "You are beautiful" as I fucked her slowly, and put an extra syllable on the end of my name as I fucked her fast.
She was a Capricorn and, despite being an often-ravenous lover, once she had put on her impeccably washed and ironed uniform, I was not allowed to touch her pretty body. I could never get the hang of her work rota schedules and happily fixed appointments for when (it turned out) she couldn't see me and, alternatively, was sometimes found in old slippers and an unflattering towelling dressing gown when her key turned in my door.
Yes, I'd given Sammie a key. In fact we almost lived together. I say "almost" because I never knew for sure when she would be with me and only guessed right half the time.
The first days of most relationships are spent in a blissed-out daze, at least by one of the protagonists, and I did not wholly realise that I was at Sammie's beck and call and she was not at mine. I smoothed any doubts that arose in the scented satin hollows of her body, which is why it was six months before I knew she was having an affair, and nine before I knew she'd left me.
Sammie was still "with" the woman she'd left me for, as much as Sammie could be "with" anyone. But when Kate thought Sammie was somewhere else, sometimes Sammie was with me. And I mean with.
I felt no guilt about bedding Sam (or was it vice versa?). I had developed a philosophy out of the pain and when Sam was in my hands (and vice versa!) she was mine and when she was not she was not. Further than that I could not and would not see.
"Oh why do I keep myself away from this?" said Sammie as she eased herself onto me.
That was the kind of remark that would have eaten into me over a span of months in the recent past, but now I figured she was speaking rhetorically and concentrated on the job at hand.
But Sam was not to be deflected. Later, sitting opposite me, drinking her customary sweet black coffee, she said, "Sometimes I am putty in your hands."
I didn't doubt it, but, "What's your point?"
"Don't you ever want me back?"
I've just had you, (I thought), but said more politely, "No."
She pursed her pretty lips and swung the cat up on her lap. Then two pairs of green, almond-shaped eyes stared at me, with something approaching contempt.
I sat it out. She would leave soon. Maybe one day she would leave for good, and take Mister Bates with her and I'd be rid of his ingratitude too. (But perhaps not yet.)
You might wonder where Sammie Dash fits into the chronology of this story, and I have to say that I don't suppose she does. But the truth is that I met her before Suzee Jellycube and after and, I blush to say, during. I was not a faithful spouse.
Sammy was even a witness to my celibacy during my separation from Suzee; though she was not impressed. Sammie is and was and probably always will be, as far as I'm concerned; though at the same time, she never was and never can be. In short, inconstant Sammie is a constant in my life. It's a metaphysical puzzle and that's how I like to leave it. Saves worrying too much about things that can't be changed.
Most of the women that I have known have never heard of Sammie, never seen her, never had to compete with her. Not knowingly anyway. Sometimes I almost think she doesn't exist, but at other times I believe that I live and breathe only for her, only because of her. (Don't ever let her know.)
Some other fairly memorable women I have known:
Valerie with the sea-green eyes--one look in their depths and I was lost. She fished me out two weeks later, bedraggled, disoriented and decidedly damp.
Jeanie, from Aberdeen, who picked me up at a bus stop with as little forethought (none!) and as much enthusiasm (a lot!) as if I'd been a twenty-pound note. Six weeks later she gave me a slap on the rump and the fare home. She was only sixteen, but in more ways than one, she'd been like a mother to me.
Ross, the big bad butch who made me go with her to see a re-release of Batman, out in the sticks in the middle of the day, even though she had seen it a dozen times before. We came out of the movie-house into broad daylight, but big Ross was quaking and shaking from the terror of dark Gotham City. This, she mumbled, was her usual reaction. I myself was more disturbed by Kim Basinger.
How many memorable women? Too many perhaps. They have loved but they have not stayed, perhaps because of Sammie-unperceived; perhaps because of me, sensing the adolescent unrepentant in this middle-aged body.
It is as if I was born that day fourteen years ago in the manicured grounds of the Institution. Bernard O' Dare was the midwife. In an important sense, I am only fourteen years old. I am not mature and cannot yet be. Though I am at a chronological age when others settle down and sit out the dance of life, I am not ready to do that. Though I know that when I am, it might be too late. They will all have passed me by. Except for Sammie? We shall see.
Ah but, enough of introspection! Let me introduce you to Edie! Edie is married. (To a man!) He does nightwork. So I do nightwork, too!
Now you see me, a forty-four year old woman in the front seat of a car in a darkish street with a younger woman in my arms and my knickers round my knees. She kneels up onto the seat and over the back so her bum is in my face. She raises her skirt so that that lovely, lemony, melony shape moons at me. I pin her down with my tongue, lather her crack with crazy foam; dizzy myself with dabbing into that slit--sliding, slavering, dipping, darting and sucking long then sharp then slow and full that little meaty knoll, so that she cries out and slaps her hams against my nose: lunatic under a bum-shaped moon!

Reed earned his B.A. and J.D. from Howard University. His professional experience includes working for the litigation practice of Holland and Knight LLP. He was appointed to the Howard University Board of Trustees in 2002.[1]
Below is an abbreviated outline of Reed's academic, professional and political career:[1][2]
- 2010-Present: Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia
- 2002-2010: Member of the Georgia State Senate
- 1998-2002: Member of the Georgia House of Representatives
- 1995: Earned his J.D. from Howard University
- 1991: Earned his B.A. from Howard University
Reed and his wife, Sarah-Elizabeth, have a daughter. They reside in the Cascade community of Southwest Atlanta.[1]
Fire Chief
Controversy emerged in November 2014 when Atlanta Fire Chief Kelvin Cochran self-published a book that critics claimed was offensive to a number of groups.[3] Initially, Reed suspended Cochran, but later fired him in January 2015. As a result of the firing, Cochran brought a lawsuit against Reed on the basis of religious discrimination. That case is still ongoing.
On November 24, 2014, Reed placed Cochran on a 30-day unpaid suspension for violating the city's Standards of Conduct after Cochran self-published a book titled Who Told You That You Were Naked, which several city employees and LGBT advocacy groups claimed contained passages offensive to homosexuality, Judaism and women. In reaction to Cochran's suspension, conservative and religious liberty groups sharply criticized Reed's decision, arguing that the mayor punished Cochran for his religious beliefs.[3]
Following Cochran's return to work on January 6, 2015, Reed held a press conference to announce that he was firing Cochran, saying, "I want to make my position and the city of Atlanta's position crystal clear. The city's nondiscrimination policy … really unequivocally states that we will not discriminate." Reed also responded to accusations that he fired Cochran for his religious beliefs: "Let's stop trying to make this about religious freedom, when it's about making sure we have an environment in government where everyone, no matter who they love … can do their job and go home without fear of being discriminated against. That's what this is about."[4]
On January 23, 2015, Cochran filed a religious discrimination complaint with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission. Less than a month later, a faith-based nonprofit called the Alliance Defending Freedom filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Reed.[5]
Reed responded to the lawsuits, as well as to the concerns of Georgia and Atlanta lawmakers, by saying, "I appreciate your concerns, and would share them if the decision to terminate Kelvin Cochran from his former position as the Chief of the Atlanta Fire Rescue Department had been on his religious views or the expression of those views in his capacity as a private citizen ... Please rest assured that the city of Atlanta remains a place where all people — including those who share Mr. Cochran's beliefs — are equally valued and respected. Religious beliefs, however, cannot shield any employee from the consequences of poor judgment and insubordination."[5]
On March 26, 2015, Reed and the City of Atlanta requested that the lawsuit be dismissed on the grounds that the claim was invalid. Although Cochran stated he was fired by Reed for writing the book, Reed claims he fired Cochran for distributing the book to subordinates at work who did not ask for it.[6]

Marvel President Kevin Feige Named Motion Picture Showman of the Year by IATSE Local 600
The Publicists of the International Cinematographers Guild will fete the exec at its annual luncheon Feb. 22 at the Beverly Hilton.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is being tapped with Motion Picture Showman of the Year honors by the Publicists of the International Cinematographers Guild.
The group, also known as IATSE Local 600, will present Feige with the award at the Publicists' 50th annual Awards Luncheon to be held at the Beverly Hilton on Feb. 22, two days before the Oscars.
Feige most recently produced the biggest film of 2012, The Avengers, which became Disney's highest-grossing domestic release of all time.
"Kevin Feige's understanding and appreciation of publicity and promotion in the role of a movie's success has led to a string of blockbuster feature films adapted from the pages of Marvel comic books during the past 10 years," awards committee chairman Henri Bollinger said.

In his current role as producer and president of Marvel Studios, Feige oversees all creative aspects of the company's feature film and home entertainment activities. He is producing Iron Man 3, which is slated for release May 3; Thor: The Dark World (Nov. 8); Captain America: The Winter Soldier (April 4, 2014); Guardians of the Galaxy (Aug. 1, 2014); an Avengers sequel (May 1, 2015); and Ant-Man (Nov. 6, 2015).
Feige's other recent producing credits include Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger and Iron Man 2.
Since joining Marvel in 2000, Feige has been involved in key capacities for all of the company's theatrical film productions.
The guild also will hand out its Television Showman of the Year Award, Lifetime Achievement Award, Maxwell Weinberg Motion Picture and Television Publicist awards, Bob Yeager Award and Les Mason Award.
IATSE Local 600 represents more than 7,000 members who work in film, TV and commercials as directors of photography, camera operators, visual effects supervisors, still photographers, camera assistants, film loaders, publicists and all members of camera crews.

WATKINSVILLE — The cheering on the Madison County sideline began as soon as Malik Freeman crossed the goal line to give the Red Raiders a 15-14 lead over Oconee County with 3:21 left on Friday at Warrior Stadium.
They continued when the subsequent drive by Oconee County stalled. They overpowered second year head coach Chris Smith's postgame speech. And even when most of the team had retreated to the locker room, they continued, the applause and yells audible through door.
Athens Academy hosted its Spartan Ekiden on Thursday, and Athens Christian took first place in the 12K co-ed competition.
The Eagles' winning blue team consisted of Morgon Bishoff, Chaney Westbrook, Elizabeth Gunter and Gabby Cortese, crossing the finish line in 45 minutes, 49 seconds.
Ahren Self had a stack of bright yellow pieces of card stock spread out at the end of his office's conference table.
He sat at the head of table using red and black permanent markers to draw out plays on the heavy duty paper.
Self has been so consumed with trying to craft a bullet-proof game plan that he hasn't really had time to think about his head coaching debut that comes tonight.
"That's a good thing," he said before practice on Wednesday.
After all, his team faces powerhouse Class AAAA's Marist tonight to open its season. That's most important.
COMMERCE — Chance McClure has preserved his father's truck the way he left it — a mobile time capsule.
There are the radio stations.
Chance won't reset the FM1 presets his dad flipped through on regular rotation. 106.1, 94.9, 99.9, 92.5, 105.1 — all the country stations.
"106.1 on Saturday nights, I bet he probably went outside in his truck and listened to it because he loved the dang old country music," he said with a laugh. "If it was on, he was not changing it."
He drives his dad's truck every day.
Husted tosses 2-hitter, takes loss
BLAIRSVILLE — Jefferson pitcher Olivia Husted pitched a two-hitter but a fourth-inning, unearned run cost her a win as the Dragons fell 1-0 at Union County late Tuesday.
Union County pitcher Laken Chambers was strong, too, limiting Jefferson to four hits — two from Ashley Boyd (2-for-2) and one apiece from Husted and Meagan Faulkner.
Jefferson (5-4, 2-1 Region 8-AA) plays a doubleheader at Social Circle beginning at 4:30 p.m. today.
Ahren Self will take the field as Clarke Central's head coach for the first time Friday night as the Gladiators travel to Marist for their season opener.
Self said before practice on Wednesday that the Gladiators have only a few players banged up heading into Friday, but he said a few guys have been out sick due to a bug that has made its way around the locker room.
Titans softball edges Morgan County
BOGART – North Oconee's Megan Lovell drove in Kat Waldrop with the winning run Tuesday as the Titans defeated Morgan County 2-1 in Region 8-AAA.
Playing under tiebreaker rules, Waldrop started the eighth inning at second base and advanced to third on a bunt by Kayci Meeler.
North Oconee's other run came in the fourth inning when Colleen Weynand doubled home Lovell, who reached base on a Morgan County error.
Zack Hill, Cole Thornton, North Oconee — At the Northeast Georgia Championships on Saturday, Hill finished eighth (in 16 minutes, 59.73 seconds) and Thornton finished ninth (17:03.21) among 182 runners in the Boys Championship division; North Oconee finished fourth among 20 teams.
Joe Jenkins, Monsignor Donovan — At a 10-team meet Saturday at Loganville Christian Academy, Jenkins finished first among 93 runners in a time of 17 minutes, 30.31 seconds.
Monsignor Donovan's football debut — a 44-26 victory last Friday over Nathanael Greene Academy — featured key contributions from a host of players, but the production of junior quarterback Lee Brackman definitely stood out, in terms of quantity and quality.
Titans roll over Central Gwinnett
