Forever Young
Monogamy is impossible, but anything else is worse.
--François Truffaut
Not for nothing did François Truffaut name one of his movies The Man Who Loved Women: The pioneering film critic-turned-French New Wave auteur was legendary for letting his eye wander when it wasn't pointed at a screen or a camera. Still, as much as monogamy per se, what proved "impossible" for the filmmaker was remaining faithful to a single cinematic style. Throughout a career that encompassed 21 features and two shorts, Truffaut waffled between comedies and thrillers, personal statements and commercial product, homages to Hitchcock and Renoiresque works of poetic realism, portraits of childhood mischief and laments for adult responsibility. More than anything, this promiscuous behavior explains why, some 15 years after his premature death from a brain tumor, Truffaut remains a complicated case relative to more resolute New Wavers such as Godard, Rohmer, and Chabrol. Did The Man Who Loved Movies simply relish playing the field--or did he spread himself too thin? Perhaps both are true. Indeed, just as the director's films often detail the alluring dangers of l'amour fou, there's a sense in which Truffaut's insatiable cinephilia proved to be his salvation and his shortcoming.
Of course, you may disagree with this assessment. And so it should be, since contention is one of the major tenets of the French New Wave--or at least it was for Truffaut until, in the mid-Sixties, he began to show signs of having become the sort of innocuous bourgeois crowd-pleaser he'd pilloried as a critic. But that, too, is debatable. For now, maybe the most we can agree upon is that this is the perfect time for a reconsideration of the Truffaut catalog, what with a brand-new biography (Antoine de Baecque and Serge Toubiana's Truffaut) that impeccably reiterates the psychological foundation of his work, and a new New Wave of brilliant French auteurs (Assayas, Desplechin, Zonca, Jacquot), who've been drawing more from Truffaut's celebratedly "humanist" content than from Godard's radical form.
These days Truffaut's underattended work of the Seventies (e.g., Two English Girls, The Story of Adèle H.) may be of greater interest to buffs than his proven classics (The 400 Blows, Shoot the Piano Player, and Jules and Jim). But any way you slice it, the auteur's oeuvre is greater than the sum of its parts. And the benefit of Oak Street Cinema's "The Complete Truffaut" is that it is indeed complet, including as it does everything he made between 1957 and 1983, all in newly struck 35mm prints. Daring to devote three weeks to one (foreign) filmmaker in the middle of summer, the theater's founder Bob Cowgill makes his admiration plain in the program notes: "Without the inspiration of François Truffaut (1932-1984) there would be no Oak Street Cinema."
Whether there would be a French New Wave without him seems nearly as doubtful--even if, like me, one values Godard's obliteration of bourgeois cinema more than Truffaut's resurrection of it. For one thing, it was Truffaut who came up with the basic idea for Godard's lacerating Breathless in the late Fifties (admittedly, that film's basic idea is its least visionary conceit); for another, his early focus on more universal themes in his own work invested the movement with mainstream legitimacy (while his wife's movie-producer father invested in him); and in any case, The 400 Blows is a great movie, not to mention a more indelible account of Truffaut's unhappy childhood than any author could hope to offer.
In The 400 Blows, the filmmaker's 12-year-old alter ego Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud) engages in petty thievery as a means of getting some of the attention he desperately longs for, while seeking surrogate father figures through a filial reverence toward great artists. And in keeping with the many contradictions in Truffaut's character, this debut feature (1959) is at once lyrical and unsentimental in revealing how Antoine's harsh teachers, tattletale classmates, and ineffectual parents all contribute to a poetic injustice that has the viewer rooting for the character's escape.
"This kid hit the media like a bomb" is the first printed line in the coming-attractions trailer for The 400 Blows--referring specifically to the film's explosive reception at Cannes, although it could just as well have been describing the twentysomething Truffaut's earlier detonation of journalistic etiquette. As Antoine lashes out against the oppressive rule of the older generation (symbolized in the classroom by the dreary exercise of transcribing an antiquated poem), so the film critic Truffaut railed against what he called "le cinéma du papa" in a vitriolic article called "A Certain Tendency of the French Cinema." French films are boring, conventional, adapted from musty works of literature, and too tasteful by half, claimed Truffaut in the 1954 essay, attacking the old "tradition of quality" while pointing the way toward the New Wave revolution.
But would the filmmaker practice what he had preached as a critic? The haunting freeze-frame at the end of The 400 Blows catches Antoine in a rare moment of freedom, albeit with nowhere else to go--simultaneously posing the question of what would come next for the auteur. Would this wild child continue to savage the establishment by remaining rebellious and independent? Or would he come home to le cinéma du papa and learn to behave?
Even with the benefit of 40 years' perspective, the answer is still a matter of opinion. Nevertheless, what's irrefutable about a number of Truffaut's later works is how fully aware they seem to be of the director's (anti-)establishment conundrum. Albeit based on a true story, The Wild Child (screening Monday at 5:30 and 9:45 p.m., and Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.) brilliantly allegorizes the question of whether the filmmaker himself had been tamed, and to what end.
Shot by Nestor Almendros in a black-and-white as purposefully indistinct as the film's conclusions, The Wild Child (1970) is a French Tarzan set in the late 18th Century, with a stern rationalist (played by Truffaut, ironically) dressing a "wolf boy" (Jean-Pierre Cargol) in fine clothes before literally beating some "proper" sense into him. "This is your home," Truffaut's doctor climactically tells the child of his upscale surroundings, while the boy's "great expectations" are put further in doubt by another provocative freeze frame. Meanwhile, behind the scenes (according to Truffaut), the director tipped his hat to wild cinema by giving an 8mm movie camera to his young actor, who promised to become "the first gypsy film director."
Himself the trademarked epitome of bourgeois cinema by this point, Truffaut dedicated The Wild Child to Jean-Pierre Léaud, who reprised his character from The 400 Blows in four increasingly frivolous episodes (beginning with the half-hour "Antoine and Colette," which screens Friday at 8:00 p.m. along with The 400 Blows and the director's debut short "Les Mistons"). It's emblematic of Truffaut's stubbornly contradictory artistic persona that his most potentially confessional project--the ongoing Doinel series--would also be his most psychologically evasive, as well as his most purely commercial. Retreating from the anguished drama of The 400 Blows (whose French title, it bears mentioning, comes from the idiom that translates as "to raise hell"), 1968's Stolen Kisses (Saturday at 5:40 and 9:30 p.m., and Sunday at 3:10 and 7:30 p.m.) and 1970's Bed and Board (Tuesday at 5:40 and 9:20 p.m., and Wednesday, August 4 at 7:30 p.m.) are only deep to the extent that their female characters are permitted to critique Doinel's womanizing pathology--which is to say, not very.
On the other hand, one can't completely begrudge Truffaut's right to celebrate his triumph over a painful childhood: Clearly, the kid pulled himself up by his bootstraps. So the problem that the Doinel series presents to the New Wave isn't so much its upbeat tone as its determinedly apolitical outlook--which, come to think of it, may be one and the same. When Godard responded to late-Sixties civil unrest by unleashing the apocalyptic Weekend and the complicated One Plus One, the former critic of "a certain tendency of the French cinema" issued not one but two Doinel comedies.
Speaking of film criticism, Godard's withering review of his onetime New Wave compatriot--"he merely told stories"--remains the principal ammunition with which the movement's more radical comrades express their disapproval of Truffaut. But again (for what it's worth), Doinel's creator knew well what he was doing. "Doinel is certainly asocial," claimed Truffaut in 1970 (as quoted in the new biography), "but he isn't revolutionary in the way people are today....Doinel isn't out to change society; he's leery of it and protects himself from it, but he's full of good will and he wants to be 'accepted.'"
Ditto Truffaut. The man who loved women culminated his lifelong pursuit in the dizzy, clip-laden nostalgia of the last Doinel film, Love on the Run (Wednesday and Thursday, August 18 and 19); and the critic who loved Hitchcock became the maker of three enjoyable but essentially redundant odes to the Master, The Bride Wore Black (Monday and Tuesday, August 9 and 10), The Woman Next Door (Thursday and Friday, August 12 and 13), and Confidentially Yours (Tuesday and Wednesday, August 10 and 11). L'amour fou, indeed. But if the cineaste couldn't be faithful to his own auteur theory, the beauty of the three-week orgy that is "The Complete Truffaut" is in allowing the viewer-cum-critic to have it all.
"The Complete Truffaut" starts Friday at Oak Street Cinema with screenings of The 400 Blows and the short films "Les Mistons" ("The Mischief Makers") and "Antoine and Colette" at 8:00 p.m., followed by an opening-night party at the New French Cafe (128 N. Fourth St., Mpls.). The series continues with nightly double features through August 19; (612) 331-3134.

"Regina, the Queen City" Top 5 Page for this destination Regina by don_thomas
Lived in Regina for 2 months during which I worked in the General Hospital of Regina. Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan, but still just a small town. Saskatchewan is deserted: 40 times as big as Holland but only 1,5 million inhabitans! A whole lot of nothing indeed. Main thing here is the production of wheat.
You are most likely to visit Regina on your way through from Winnepeg (600 km east) to Calgary (800 km west), as there is only one highway going from east to west: the transcanada highway. But Saskatchewan does have some interesting things to offer. Check my tips.
- Pros:no tourists around
- Cons:" it's flat over there"...
- In a nutshell:nice stop when driving from coast to coast on the Trans Canada Hwy

hmmm ... looks COLD there ... but then, thank heavens for Irish pubs ;-) ... and your accommodation tip ? Priceless :-)))
Hi Tom I knew that Saskatchewan had less than 1 million inhabitans. I have to check this again. The photo with the car under snow is the reality here. I like it, very cool photo. Regards from Saskatoon

Vecna Labs
Intelligence-based technology solutions for accelerating products to market
Machine Perception
The Labs' perception programs give machines the intelligence to identify people, objects, and scenes. Human analysis allows machines to detect and track human movements, including specific gesture and activity recognition, affect recognition and face recognition. Similarly, our object recognition can detect and track moving objects, as well as classify objects and conduct pose estimation. Vecna's sensor fusion and world modeling technology also supports autonomous navigation through location recognition, 3D reconstruction, and SLAM.
Dr. Ashwin Thangali
Technology Lead
Dr. Thangali has extensive experience related to computer vision (tracking, object detection and recognition) and machine learning . At Vecna, Dr. Thangali leads the Computer Vision group which provides perception capabilities to Vecna's commercial robotics products. He leads several ongoing government sponsored research programs for Army, NASA and NAVAIR. These projects include human activitiy analysis, object tracking, event detection and classification. Dr. Thangali has a BE from the National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, ME from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and a Ph.D. from Boston University where he wrote his thesis on algorithms for American Sign Language (ASL) recognition from video input.
Vecna's navigation system gives robots the ability to safely and efficiently negotiate unstructured environments. The Labs team has developed a context-aware navigation system that uses sensor fusion and world modeling technology to plan paths among dynamic obstacles. In addition, the system supports optimal path planning, person following, autonomous docking to charging stations, and topological planning.
Dr. Zac Dydek
Technology Lead
Dr. Dydek is the Director of Autonomous Systems, driving cross-product decision making and creating company vision for Vecna's robotics software solutions. Dr. Dydek's graduate research involved the conception, design, and implementation of advanced, nonlinear controllers with applications to manned and unmanned aerial vehicles. He received the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship from the Department of Defense in 2006. Dr. Dydek has a BS degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in control and dynamical systems from Caltech and has MS and PhD degrees in Mechanical Engineering from MIT.
Vecna develops machines dexterous enough to handle small parts and strong enough to lift several hundred pounds. The Labs leverage hydraulics to create arms that are strong and fast while remaining lightweight and energy-efficient. These systems are equipped with advanced autonomy, including autonomous grasp selection, collision-free motion planning, and multi-sensor guided movement making them easy to use and safe around human workers.
Dr. Shawn Schaffert
Technology Lead
Dr. Schaffert has a wealth of experience in developing autonomous robotic systems.

What to Wear to a Spring/Summer Wedding
May 15th, 2012
Just in time for wedding season, the Articles of Style Team got together to present some ideas on what to wear to different types of Spring/Summer weddings.
1. No Particular Dress Code
A khaki cotton suit is a Spring/Summer staple because it can be worn a hundred different ways, each of which looks formal but not stiff.
It would be hard to look "out of place" at any warm weather nuptials looking like these two studs.
- Brown leather flask by JCrew
- Green rep bow tie by Gant
- Khaki cotton suit jacket by J. Crew
- Blue gingham shirt by JCrew
- Brown leather monkstrap shoes by Saville Row Co.
- Blue plaid pocket square Ramdom fabric swatch
- White shirt by Club Monaco
- Black pastic frames by Archie Brower
- Brown leather lace ups by Scarpe Di Bianco
- Tie bar from TheTieBar
2. "Semi-Formal"
Whenever an event calls for "semi formal" I immediately think ultra classic: black suit, white shirt, black tie. It's a can't fail outfit – just ask the Rat Pack or the Reservoir Dogs.
A very dark charcoal or midnight blue suit would also work with a white shirt and black tie (and both are more appropriate options should you use the suit for business as well).
3. Country
If the ceremony is held on grass amongst nature, try a lighter shade of navy and don't be afraid of small country touches like a chambray shirt, linen bowtie, vintage pocket square or suede bucks.
- Rich navy suit by Michael Andrews Bespoke
- Red chambray shirt by J.Crew
- White suede bucks by Cole Haan
- White bow tie Handmade
- White pocket square Vintage
4. Casual
The invitation may say "casual", but it's still a wedding.
I suggest wearing a tailored jacket and dressing it down, like Wes does here with white jeans, leather walking loafers and an open madras shirt.
5. Evening Formal
No more embarrassing rentals, wedding season is a great excuse to buy a proper fitting tuxedo.
You'll save money in the long run and you'll be glad you did it (as will the ladies at the party).
- Midnight blue tuxedo by Michael Andrews Bespoke
- White formal shirt by Michael Andrews Bespoke
- Black bow tie by Club Monaco
- Midnight blue velvet slippers by Del Toro
6. Beach
If there is ever a time to wear a white linen suit, or a suit with sandles, it's a beach wedding. Don't forget a nice pair of shades to complete the look.
If white isn't for you, try a light cream linen instead.
- White linen suit by International Concepts INC
- Blue french cuff shirt by Polo Ralph Lauren
- Brown leather strap sandals by Stubbs & Wootton
- Wooden shades by Shwood
- Watch by Montblanc Timewalker
- Navy polka dot bowtie by Ralph Lauren Polo
- Brown alligator watch band by Montblanc
7. Outdoor
Nothing says we're celebrating an outdoor wedding like a brown linen suit.
8. Church
When in doubt keep it simple and classic. Townsend puts together a look with a summer grey suit that will never go out of style.
9. Daytime Formal
If it's a formal occasion ("black tie") before 6pm, I recommend a light colored dinner jacket like this cream hopsack number.
What to wear with a white (or off-white) dinner jacket? Try black lightweight trousers (cotton, linen, tropical wool, etc), a white hidden-placket shirt, a black bowtie and some swanky formal slippers.
10. Crash in Style…
If you've been shy about breaking out your seersucker suit, this is the perfect time to do it.
Just remember the old adage: "The better you dress, the worse you can behave".
Crash in style…
Thanks, as always, for reading.
Yours in style,
Dan Trepanier

I just realized that "Do You Love Me?" is on the DVD but not on the CD of the BA tour.
Anyone know, why?
And did anyone happen to rip DYLM off the DVD and would like to PM me with it?

Because there is too much talking between the song? Don't know if there is right now since I always skip that part But could be
"All I got is this heart that I am willing to lose, I know in this life - I give it everything."
"Found a girl inside of me that I've been missing for so long, told her I that I'd never leave."

Request an Appointment
If no underlying heart disease is detected, your heart's response to exercise is normal, and there are no symptoms of low cardiac output, treatment may not be required. Your doctor may choose to monitor your heart rate and rhythm periodically, typically by regular electrocardiograms. People with cardiac symptoms and conditions usually receive treatment, however.
Treatments for symptomatic bradycardia may include:
This could include underlying conditions such as coronary artery disease, thyroid disease, sleep apnea or electrolyte disorders. In addition, if you have tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (alternating fast and slow signals), you may need treatment for both fast and slow rates.
This device may be either temporarily or permanently implanted under the skin in the chest wall. It is the most common treatment for bradycardia that causes symptoms such as fainting.
The wallet-sized, battery-powered device has wires and electrodes attached. The electrodes are threaded through your veins and into your heart, while the pacemaker itself is implanted under your collarbone.
The pacemaker provides electrical impulses through the electrodes to regulate your heartbeat. In some cases, a dual-chamber pacemaker may be implanted. It has electrodes in both the atria and the ventricles. A traditional pacemaker only has electrodes in the ventricles.
When your heart rate slows, the pacemaker takes over, providing the impulses required to maintain a normal rhythm. Blood thinners may be prescribed along with the pacemaker, at least initially.

No seriously though, congrats! That's awesome!
Sigh... yep, she's a big Giants fan now... give it about 4 years, and you're going to kiddie soccer practice instead of watching the Giants... or she is telling you can't afford the season tickets cause you need a new nursery... Don't even think about going to a game... leaving at 9 am.. tailgaiting, and getting back at 9 pm... ain't gonna happen... .Oh i know what you're saying.. "Nah.. .she's cool.. she doesnt mind me going to the games"... HAHAHAHAHAHA
You'll see...
Seriously, you will have to back off on games, then when the kids are like 15 or so, you can pick back up.... thats why you see so many older guys at the games.. .... and its worth it for the kids anyway. Congratulations..

From the book reviews:
"This book is well written, broad in scope, current in topics, concise, and includes many citations. To aid readers who might have been overwhelmed by the contents in the previous chapters, the conclusions in the last chapter summarize the author's messages. These conclusions and recommendations contrast how risk analysis is often practiced today and how it could be practiced to be more credible and useful. I believe this book will be a good source of insight for practitioners and academia." (Seong Dae Kim, Interfaces, Vol. 44 (6), November-December, 2014)
"This excellent book presents up-to-date material, various portions of which are sure to be of great interest to several distinct audiences. … The book is full of thorough but accessible examples and case studies with extensive references to the literature. … this is an important contribution to the literature in that it bridges the gap from theory to practice, includes many fields of application, and is accessible to a wide audience." (Charles R. Hadlock, SIAM Review, Vol. 55 (4), 2013)

Very cool. This is so well drawn i feel that I can touch the chair...and the girl...i'm sorry what did you say?
Great job!
Don't shortchange yourself! This is awesome!
She's so skinny...
oh, she's hot. you should do one of them together!!
coming soon Jake!
Like this one a lot 'darlin donna' great job.
You did a great job with this character!
I love It XD
Beautiful. Very cute girl & nice render.
thats really cool
Very nice! Enjoyable to look at.
Nicely done
very nice!
Thank you NS!
Nice pose and sexy image. She should be flattered.
i like it
amazing work! she is very pretty and sexy
Very sexy pose
damn fine work
something looks a bit funny with her upper right arm, but it might just be the angle, regardless of that, well done Donna
something looks a bit funny with her upper right arm, but it might just be the angle, regardless of that, well done Donna
Thank you Rogue!...I looked at the arm from various angles and it looked okay...it might just be one of those things
You may not have caught her look perfectly in your mind, but you certainly captured her essence! The pose, look and feel of this image screamed Ally as soon as I opened and read the caption and title. I think the part that truly wins me over on this image is the pose from the arms up. The position of the hand and face in reference to the direction she is looking is pure Ally. The whole dynamic of the facial expression and the hand next to her face is truly perfect. You can see the air of confidence and power that Shiniez projects from this character. I really am not sure why you are not seeing this other than the fact that as an artist you may be to close to your creation and are only looking at the flaws, I challenge you to step back and look at it with a new set of eyes. She really is one of your best pieces! Would I lie to you?
Wow Thank you Roy! Shiniez is so great I just want to play with his characters to see if I can add a little and have some fun If I got Ally's mischievous strong but vulnerable personality then wow . I'm glad you think I'm pretty close!
I would say that it is the closed 3D representation that I have seen so far. Congratulations are in order for her!
Very hot!

Drew Magary's Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo runs, well, every Thursday afternoon during the NFL season. Drew's new book, "Men With Balls," featuring 100% new material, hits stores on Monday but is available online right now here. You can email Drew here. Read him during the week at KSK. There's no Sunday Night Football game this week. And do you know why? It's so you can watch baseball. That's right. The higher-ups at NBC and the NFL decided that you needed a night off from football, "out of respect" for the World Series. I've never understood why networks do this. For one thing, it's arbitrary. There was a Sunday night game on last week during Game 7 of the Sox-Rays series. Why not reschedule that game too if baseball is so goddamn important? Last year, the Rockies and Broncos would have played in Denver on the same Monday night had the Rockies forced a Game 5 with Boston in the World Series. So that Monday night game would have gone on as scheduled, but the Sunday night game gets tabled in deference? Why one and not the other? It makes no sense. Even if it's to placate FOX, it still makes no sense.Furthermore, it's unnecessary. We have DVR's now. You can watch both games if you like. Shit, in today's age, most people would probably prefer to watch both events simultaneously. No one watches one sporting event back to front anymore. You need other shit to check out if the game bogs down. You need options to flip over to: to another game, to news, to porn, to Dog Whisperer, or whatever. Like I can stay on one channel for three hours straight. I'd have a brain hemorrhage if I tried to do that. But the larger point here is this: Who gives a shit if the World Series is on? Seriously, big fucking deal. No offense to the fair editor of this site, whose team is vying for a World Series title, or to baseball fans in general. But one of the reasons I watch football is specifically so I don't have to watch fucking baseball. I reject in total the idea that the sport of football has to be nice or respectful to the sport of baseball. Baseball can go eat a fucking dick, for all I care. Oooh, look everyone! We won the pennant! HOORAY, A TRIANGULAR FLAG IS NOW OURS! AND WE ONLY HAD TO PLAY 5,687 MEANINGLESS GAMES TO GET IT! Good for you. Now go die. This is an open challenge to Roger Goddell and the broadcast networks. STOP CODDLING BASEBALL. We already have boring windbags like Seth Mnookin and George Will around to slob that sport's bat knob and make it feel super neat about itself. FOOTBALL IS NOT RESPECTFUL. IT IS NOT DEFERENTIAL. It's a shit-stomping behemoth that destroys anything that gets in its way. It's time for The Ginger Hammer to put a game on opposite the World Series and give it the brutal ratings flaying it rightfully deserves. Step on that sport's throat and don't let up until you feel its windpipe collapse. Then maybe we'd be spared in the future from Tim McCarver's idiotic musings ("When you're a batter, the first thing you look for is a good pitch to hit."), or 50,000-word articles about what the Red Sox mean to Boston on an existential level. God, baseball can be fucking annoying. If poor little baseball can't stand on its own, if it needs football to move out of the way in order to flourish, then it doesn't deserve to thrive. Sorry, Leitch. I don't want football to respect baseball. I want it to spit in baseball's face and wipe its cleats on baseball's back. Fuck the World Series, fuck baseball, and fuck all that old-timey baseball bullshit. Gimme my football back.

Five Throwgasms Giants at Steelers: Oh, and one more thing. I'm getting really fucking sick of Cleatus, the fuckheaded FOX robot, hitting fungo balls during game leading back in from the commercials. Hey FOX, I fucking get it. You broadcast the World Series. You only mentioned it SEVEN MILLION FUCKING TIMES ALREADY. I don't need your gay little robot, who serves no purpose to begin with, hitting pop flies during the break as some kind of blatantly subliminal baseball promo. "Oh loogit! The robot's hitting balls. That reminds me, I better watch the World Series tonight! On FOX!" I swear to God I hope that robot develops the urge to become a real boy, only to end up at the bottom of the ocean for centuries, staring at a frozen picture of his human mom. Colts at Titans: Ready to bury the Colts at 3-4, are you? Ah, but that's just what they want you to believe. No team is better at getting you to think they're finally gonna shit the bed, only to come up with some incredibly annoying way of pulling it out of their collective ass. They've got you right where they want you, America. Chargers at Saints: From swinging London! The big question surrounding the Chargers is: Will Shawne Merriman join the team in Europe? I think he'd enjoy being in England. The girls there are much more polite about being raped, you know.
Three Throwgasms Bills at Dolphins: I was watching the Fins play last week and lamenting the complete disappearance of the neckroll from the league's linebacking crews. Most linebackers today use the newfangled cowboy collar to prevent from whiplash. But I remember when 'backers like Carl Banks would tie a neckroll the size of a baguette around their shoulder pads. Looked like a rolled-up gym mat surrounding his head. And then you had former Fins linebacker Brian Cox, who had what appeared to be a barcalounger on the back of his shoulder pads. I miss all the unique contraptions NFL linebackers used to prevent getting their spines crushed. Bucs at Cowboys Falcons at Eagles
Two Throwgasms Redskins at Lions Rams at Patriots Browns at Jaguars
One Throwgasm Chiefs at Jets: If Jay Glazer's report about Brett Favre spilling secrets to the Lions is to be believed (and there's no reason to believe Favre's lame account over Glazer's, since Favre is a proven liar), then I don't ever want to hear another fucking person in the media say one goddamn word about how awesome of a guy Brett Favre is ever again. Anyone who does should be fired on the fucking spot. How is Favre not being fucking pilloried right now? What kind of little fucking BITCH rats out his old team like that? What is this asshole, sixteen years old? Brett Favre is a fucking dingleberry. Literally. He is a small, wadded ball of toilet paper and fecal residue implanted in the sweaty asscrack of another human being. Fuck him. He deserves to be scorned, shunned, and intentionally injured. Fuck you, Brett Favre. You vindictive little shit. I hope your Hall of Fame bust is a goddamn rat's head. DIE.
