Rams Press Release on Shurmur
Barry McBride on January 13th, 2011 AT 8:03 PM
St. Louis, Mo. – Pat Shurmur, who served as the Rams' offensive coordinator the past two seasons, became head coach of the Cleveland Browns Thursday.
"I am very happy for Pat and his family," Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo said. "I very much appreciate Pat and what he has done to help us grow as a team these last two years. I wish him and his family the very best in Cleveland."
In 2010, the Rams scored 114 more points than they did in 2009, the second best improvement in the NFL last season. In addition, the Rams committed just 21 turnovers in 2010, tied for the ninth-lowest total in the NFL.
"Pat is a very good football coach and has done an excellent job for us," Rams General Manager Billy Devaney said. "He is deserving of this opportunity and I wish him and his family the best in Cleveland."
RB Steven Jackson enjoyed 1,000-year seasons in each of Shurmur's years as the team's offensive play caller, and Jackson was recently named to his third Pro Bowl. Wide receivers Danny Amendola and Brandon Gibson along with tight ends Daniel Fells and Billy Bajema each posted new career highs in receptions in 2010.
"I knew it would not be long before Coach Shurmur got a head coaching job in this league," Jackson said. "He was a good coordinator for the Rams and on Sundays, he got the most out of his players and always had us in a position to win the game. Congratulations to Coach Shurmur and his family."
Shurmur also played a key role in the development of QB Sam Bradford, who set new NFL rookie records for completions and attempts and finished second all-time among NFL rookies with 3,512 passing yards.
"This is a great opportunity for Coach Shurmur," Bradford said. "I really enjoyed working with him last season and he truly helped my transition from college to the NFL game. I think he will be a really good head coach."
What They're Saying About Pat Shurmur
Dave Kolonich on January 13th, 2011 AT 6:38 PM
Below Is a Press Release From the Cleveland Browns:
Browns Cornerback Sheldon Brown
"As a rookie coming into the National Football League (in 2002), he was our quarterbacks coach in Philadelphia. I knew he demanded a lot of respect, for one, Donovan McNabb was the guy that was already established there and Donovan had the utmost respect for Coach Shurmur. He is a sharp guy. He always took notes in meetings and he was one of those guys that (Eagles head coach) Andy (Reid) could depend on to get the guys ready to play, motivate and do well on gamedays. That's what you are looking for when you are looking for a coach. He kind of reminds me of a guy like (Baltimore Ravens head coach) John Harbaugh, who took a lot of notes, never had enough knowledge and always wanted to learn more. I had a lot of respect for him. He is a hard working guy and I think he will do well."
Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid
"I'm extremely proud of and happy for Pat Shurmur and his family. He is a proven commodity in the NFL and has paid his dues as a successful assistant coach. Pat is smart, very well organized and has a great command and great feel for the ins and outs of the business of pro football. I believe, to a man, all of the players and coaches that have worked with and for Pat Shurmur have the utmost respect for him as a person and as a coach. And I'm right at the top of that list. He'll do a great job for the city of Cleveland as their head football coach."
Redskins Quarterback Donovan McNabb
"I think it is a great choice for the Cleveland Browns. Pat Shurmur is a hard-working, dedicated and determined individual who demands perfection from all his players. The team will love playing for him."

Revisionist History
Dave Kolonich on January 13th, 2011 AT 5:02 PM
Not very long after the Browns' announced the hiring of Pat Shurmur as Head Coach, some other pieces of the NFL coaching puzzle fell into place.
AP – Broncos Hire Former Panthers' Coach Fox
What a difference a year makes.
This time last year, such a headline would have seemed improbable, at least based on Josh McDaniels' successful first season in Denver. More precisely, this is the sort of headline that could have happened in Cleveland at the end of 2009 – or even now – at least if the circumstances would have been different.
Entering the 2010 season, Fox was rumored to be a candidate for the Browns' head job – based on Fox's literal lame duck status and the figurative classification given to Eric Mangini. Of course, much of this speculation rested on Fox sharing the same agent as Mike Holmgren and Tom Heckert – in Bob LaMonte.
In hiring Shurmur, Holmgren acquires a young coach who he can seemingly mold in his own image – much in same way that a quarterback like Colt McCoy is being groomed. In the process, the entire identity of the Browns has been dramatically changed.
While the results of each of these projects will not be revealed for a long time, another thought worth considering is just who the Browns would have pursued if Holmgren had never come to town. Of course, in this scenario – one would have to assume that Mangini would have been fired by owner Randy Lerner.
In such a case, just who would Lerner have turned to in order to again revamp his struggling franchise?
Perhaps an experienced coach – one born from the lower rungs of the Bill Parcells tree?
Somebody like John Fox?

Browns make Shurmur hire official
Don Delco on January 13th, 2011 AT 12:36 PM
Below is a press release from the Cleveland Browns:
The Cleveland Browns today named Pat Shurmur as the 13th full-time head coach in franchise history.
Shurmur's résumé includes 23 years of coaching experience, including 12 in the NFL. In those 12 seasons, he has been a part of teams that have qualified for the playoffs seven times, won five division crowns and posted one Super Bowl appearance.
"It's an honor and a privilege to join an organization with such a rich history and tradition as the Cleveland Browns," Shurmur said. "I have the utmost respect for Coach Holmgren and Tom Heckert, and I am impressed with the direction in which they have this franchise going. I have known Tom for most of my pro coaching career, and while we were in Philadelphia, he and I developed an outstanding relationship. I want to thank Mike and Tom, as well as Randy Lerner, for this tremendous opportunity. I also want to thank the St. Louis Rams and Steve Spagnuolo for two terrific seasons and for giving me a chance to be a coordinator at this level. I am looking forward to this challenge and can't wait to get started in helping to build the Browns back to one of the elite teams in the NFL."
"I am extremely excited about having Pat Shurmur as the next head coach of the Cleveland Browns," said Browns President Mike Holmgren. "Pat is a bright, young man who grew up in football and around the coaching profession. I came away from our interview very impressed with him as a person, his extensive knowledge of the game and his track record of success as an assistant coach in this league. Most importantly, I feel as though he possesses the necessary qualities which make him the right man to lead our football team."
Shurmur spent the past two seasons (2009-10) as the offensive coordinator with the St. Louis Rams. He helped the Rams improve to a 7-9 record following a 1-15 season in 2009, the second-biggest turnaround in the league this past season. In 2010, he guided St. Louis' offense to improvements in nearly every category including total yards, time of possession and third-down percentage, while they also scored 114 more points than the previous year. In addition, the Rams committed just 21 turnovers in 2010, tied for the ninth-lowest total in the NFL.
He helped shape quarterback Sam Bradford, the top pick in the 2010 draft, as Bradford set NFL rookie records for completions (354) and attempts (590), while his 3,512 passing yards were the second-most by a rookie in league history, trailing only Peyton Manning's 3,739 in 1998. Bradford's 18 touchdown passes tied for fifth-most among rookies in NFL history. During a midseason stretch, he set an NFL rookie record with 174 consecutive attempts without an interception.
Along with starting a rookie quarterback, the team's second-round pick, Rodger Saffold, was the only NFL rookie to start all 16 games at left tackle in 2010. The Rams allowed just 34 sacks despite attempting the fifth-most passing plays in the NFL this past season, which placed the team 12th in the league in sacks per pass play.
Also under Shurmur, Rams running back Steven Jackson was selected to the NFC Pro Bowl squad both years. Jackson claimed the NFC rushing title in 2009 with 1,416 yards. Jackson's rushing totals each of the past two seasons (1,241 in 2010) represent two of the three highest rushing figures of his seven-year NFL career.
Prior to joining the Rams, Shurmur spent 10 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles (1999-2008). He served as the team's quarterbacks coach from 2002-08 and helped Donovan McNabb to three Pro Bowl selections during his tenure. In 2008, McNabb set Eagles single-season records with 345 completions and 3,916 passing yards.
In 2004, Shurmur guided McNabb to the most productive season of his career, as he set franchise records in passer rating (104.7) and completion percentage (64.0). McNabb also became the first quarterback in NFL history with 30-plus touchdown passes (31) and fewer than 10 interceptions (8) in a single season.
During his first season as quarterbacks coach, Shurmur turned to third-string quarterback A.J. Feeley after injuries to McNabb and Koy Detmer. Despite not having started a game in three years, since his junior season at Oregon, Feeley helped the Eagles post a 4-1 record, as they won the NFC East and advanced to the NFC title game. Shurmur faced another quarterback injury in 2006 and turned to backup Jeff Garcia, who helped the club to a 5-1 record and led Philadelphia into the Divisional round of the playoffs.
Shurmur's first three seasons in Philadelphia (1999-2001) were spent as tight ends coach, where he developed three-time Pro Bowler Chad Lewis. From 2000-01, Lewis combined for 110 receptions, 1,157 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. His reception total ranked fourth among all NFL tight ends during that two-year span, while he was tied for fourth in touchdowns and fifth in receiving yards.
Before joining the Eagles, Shurmur spent the 1998 season at Stanford University as offensive line coach. That year, the Cardinal offensive line allowed the fewest sacks per pass attempt in the Pac-10 and helped first-year quarterback Todd Husak become only the third quarterback in school history to throw for more 3,000 yards.
Prior to Stanford, Shurmur instructed the tight ends, special teams and offensive line at Michigan State University from 1990-97. The Spartans sent three tight ends (Ty Hallock, Duane Young and Mitch Lyons) to the NFL under Shurmur's guidance, and kick returner Derrick Mason set a school career record with 2,575 return yards.
A four-year letterman at Michigan State, Shurmur earned All-Big Ten conference honors and All-America honorable mention accolades in 1987. He played guard and linebacker as a freshman and started at center the next three seasons. He served as co-captain as a senior when the Spartans defeated USC in the Rose Bowl. He earned a master's degree in financial administration and was the first graduate student football player at the University.
A native of Dearborn, Mich., who attended Divine Child High School, Shurmur comes from a football background. His uncle, the late Fritz Shurmur, coached in the NFL for 24 years and served as the Green Bay Packers' defensive coordinator from 1994-98 and helped that club win two NFC Championships and Super Bowl XXXI.
Born April 14, 1965, Pat and his wife, Jennifer, have four children, daughters Allyson, Erica and Claire, and a son, Kyle.

Where Are They Now? Two Weeks Later Edition
Dave Kolonich on January 12th, 2011 AT 7:43 PM
Although most Browns fans have already completely forgotten about Eric Mangini and Brian Daboll, a news junkie like myself just can't get let go. Chalk it up to some obsessive behavioral tendencies, but not forcing myself to Google their names hourly has proven quite difficult.
After all, I'm pretty sure that exhaustively following Mangini for two years means that I'm practically related to him.
Or, it's quite possible that the leading candidate to become the Browns' next head coach doesn't actually exist. After all, how many of us were discussing the merits of Pat Shurmur even a month ago? Suddenly, an office is being painted for him.
Anyway, so it goes with the Browns – where the only constant is change….along with the occasional blinding headache.
But at the least, it appears that after a decade of expansion futility, the Browns have finally figured out that a top-down approach is the only rational way to conduct business. In this sense, Team President Mike Holmgren seems to be fully in charge of the current search for a new head coach.
Which means that the usual bitterness following a Browns' coaching firing is not as prevalent compared to years' past.
As for these most recently dearly departed members of the Browns, it looks like they may have an existence – post Cleveland.
Fox Sports Southwest – Search Is On For Defensive Coordinator in Dallas
Although it's nothing but speculation at this point, Mangini makes a lot of sense in Dallas. The Cowboys run a version of the 3-4 defense familiar to the heart of the Belichick defenses Mangini grew up with – complete with some truly talented players. Also, Mangini wouldn't present much of an ego or job security challenge to new Dallas head coach Jason Garrett, which cannot be overstated at least based on the past couple years of the Wade Phillips era.
Or, at the least – maybe Mangini can get into….broadcasting?
Mangini Will Talk Jets-Patriots
Mangini, who left Bill Belichick's Patriots staff to take over the Jets in 2006, will appear on the network's "NFL Live" at 4 p.m. and "SportsCenter" Thursday and Friday.
Stranger things have happened, I suppose. While Mangini never displayed the type of gregarious personality normally associated with TV analysts, he instantly becomes the most credible football source at ESPN.
But then again, I wonder how much ESPN Mangini actually watches.
WEWS.com – ESPN Celebrates Eric Mangini's Firing?
Still, there is something to be said about publicity. Appearing on ESPN to discuss what should be the most high-profile playoff matchup of the weekend can't hurt. At least Mangini is getting his name out. Much like his one-time protégé…
ESPN – Source: Dolphins Talk To Daboll
Granted, Daboll's offenses were among the worst in franchise history. Of course, the level of offensive talent that Daboll had to work with wasn't exactly stellar. Somehow, Daboll in Miami suddenly makes a lot of sense.
The Browns were the only AFC team to score less than the Dolphins last season.
Nowhere to go but up, right?

Bamako (AFP) April 15, 2014
Mali said on Tuesday it was clear of the Ebola epidemic suspected to be behind around 130 deaths this year in Guinea and Liberia.
The health minister told reporters samples taken from patients displaying symptoms compatible with Ebola infection had tested negative for the deadly tropical pathogen.
"All ten samples gave a negative result. This means that, as of today, Mali has no suspect or confirmed cases of Ebola haemorrhagic fever," Ousmane Kone told a news conference in Bamako.
"Nevertheless, we have recommended that our authorities remain vigilant and continue to monitor the situation with the same rigour."
The outbreak in Guinea is one of the most deadly in history, with 168 cases "clinically compatible" with Ebola virus disease reported, including 108 deaths, since the start of the year, according to the World Health Organisation.
The outbreak began in the impoverished country's southern forests, but has spread to Conakry, a sprawling port city on the Atlantic coast and home to two million people, and 71 cases have been confirmed in laboratories as Ebola.
Neighbouring Liberia has reported 20 probable or suspected cases, six lab-confirmed cases and 13 deaths.
But a variety of deadly, highly-contagious tropical bugs, including the Marburg virus and Lassa fever, can lead to similar symptoms -- vomiting, diarrhoea and profuse internal and external bleeding.
Mali said it was keeping a number of patients in hospital, without elaborating on which other viruses may have made them ill.
Bamako announced two weeks ago that it had placed three suspected Ebola patients in isolation while the latest WHO update said there were six possible cases in the west African nation of 15 million people.

It's not a regular occurrence that you discover you need a replacement Shock Absorber to fix your automobile. Nissan car, truck, or SUV owners have come to expect a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their 720 around town. Your Nissan dealership isn't the only place to find the highest quality parts to repair your 720. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days.
The first production cars from over a hundred years ago must have been very unpleasant to drive. Shock absorbers became widely used on cars and trucks in the 1930s, and they contributed to the agility you feel today on your vehicle. Without your Nissan 720 shock absorbers, you would not have a comfortable ride. The shocks on your car or truck dampen sharp movements by compressing and releasing a pocket of gas within the shock body using hydraulic pressure created by a valve and piston. Today, a strut and coil spring assembly has replaced the shock absorber on front suspensions due to its increased mobility; so depending on the age of your Nissan 720, you may only find them in the rear.
Procuring new Nissan parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 720 parts on the internet. Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Buy all the car parts you will ever need from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Nissan 720 Shock Absorber parts for 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

The chancellor is expected to announce plans that will close the net on those evading tax in some of the least co-operative tax havens.
The Budget machine is firmly in motion this week with predictions emerging left, right and centre, but one of the most recurring forecasts is that Alistair Darling will launch a series of measures designed to clamp down tax evasion.
According to a report in today's Financial Times, the maximum penalty for offshore tax evaders is expected to be doubled to 200% of the tax owed in a clampdown on those caught evading tax in the least co-operative tax havens such as the Turks and Caicos islands.
A Whitehall official told the newspaper: "These people with large bank balances who are hiding money offshore should be running scared of this announc...

Some of my favorite things. I love my spider lantern, owls and my papier mache halloween candies!
Add paper halloween shapes to the inside of your lamps. I added bats that I bought at target. You could download images from the internet if you choose. Just print and cut out shapes. It should give you the same result.

Halloween Pillow
Ok You say another pillow! I know but I couldn't resist. I went to Target the other day and walked by the towel section. Well on an end cap they have Halloween towels and rugs. All are very cute. I certainly am not in the need of anything Halloween. But I saw this rug and thought it would make the best pillow. It is super thick so I wasn't sure how it would sew. But not a problem. I didn't even break a needle. I added a lime green bath towel to the back side. Oh and remember I used one of my everyday decorative pillows to put inside.

I am a big proponent of gratitude.
Acknowledging that I am in favor of gratitude seems silly. Who isn't in favor of gratitude? In case you were wondering, I also like fresh air, holding sleeping babies in my arms, and freshly-made pie. Of course I am a proponent of gratitude! Gratitude is the basis of every spiritual practice. I have written, made videos, and talked about gratitude for years.
Science can demonstrate positive correlations between gratitude and academic performance. And there are studies that show a link between gratitude and higher levels of immunity.read more

This is an especially difficult concept for us in the United States. Many of the people who helped form this country tried to solve their problems by simply moving away from people they had difficulties with. This method of dealing with problems is deeply embedded in the American psyche. When people get on your nerves, you can simply "go west" to get a little peace and quiet, a little piece of your own ground, and live with minimal interactions with neighbors. You don't have to learn to live with difficult people, rather you can just pick the people you want to be with. People first left the problems of Europe behind. When life here got too tense, many continued pioneering westward to get away from everyone. Part of the American Dream is the illusion that you can create and control the bubble you live in. Perhaps this method worked for a couple hundred years until the empty spaces ran out and we were stuck staring eyeball to eyeball with our neighbors, again. Still, the fantasy remains that the individual acting alone is the most advanced and enlightened form of human activity. Yet Christianity has always held that life is about "we" not about "me."read more

Reinhold Niebuhr's brother, H. Richard, argued for faithfulness to the example of Jesus's nonviolence, while Reinhold believed this was naive and unrealistic in an imperfect world. H. Richard was the purist to the Christian faith, believing that following the Golden Rule, no matter the consequences, is what Jesus and God called us to do — the success of the mission being in God's hands rather than our own. Reinhold, however, looked at the more practical side of things, substituting his or the world's idea of what was possible and changing his ethics accordingly. H. Richard thus trusted more in the providential moral arc of history as M.L. King, Jr. , would call it rather than a realist's version of what humans believe is attainable given their corrupt nature. In essence, H. Richard focused on the power of God's grace to transform our spirits and the world for the better, while Reinhold accepted a more cynical view of our ability to be radically changed as a specie.read more

Tebow gets the start "this week."
John Fox's Monday Press Conference here.
Tebow said. "But I know, like a kid that tweeted me with cancer and said, "I'm Tebowing while I'm chemoing." How cool is that? That's worth it right there for that kid. If that gives him any encouragement or just puts a smile on his face or gives him encouragement to pray, then that's really awesome and that's completely worth it for me."
Tebow said he supports the movement and hopes it encourages people to follow his lead.
"I think that's a pretty cool thing and it's stepping out for something that you either believe in or that you want to show or if you just want to pray, either way it's pretty cool," Tebow said.
We're fond of pointing out that Tebow isn't perfect, but is he the anti-Christ?
A few Dawgs think so. And they make a case for it.
I guess we can look at it this way, at least he inspired them to dig their Bibles out.
And nice graphic too. If this is what Dawgs see from their side of Jax Municipal Stadium, it's no wonder why they leave so early.
Like many teenagers, Cam Perron spends most of his free time on the phone. But instead of texting or playing video games, he's talking to old guys like Paul Jones and Gilbert Black.
They are former Negro league baseball players, old enough to be his grandfather, and he may be their greatest fan, their unlikely but irrepressible advocate.
Perron, a shaggy-haired 16-year-old with a shortstop's lanky build, is one of the country's most prolific researchers into the leagues that gave black ballplayers a professional option when they were banned from the bigs. From his bedroom in Arlington, Perron has created baseball cards for players who never had any, discovered evidence to help former players earn pensions, and reconnected teammates who hadn't spoken in decades. This month he will help organize a reunion in Birmingham, Ala., for more than 50 former players.
Which leads me back around to Solomon Wilcots' comments and his praise for the ineffable virtues of Tebow. That's the thing, Craggs. We're all too smart for God these days, and to believe in Tim Tebow is to believe in God in a world that tells us God is an impossibility, and that Tim Tebow is a bad quarterback because a bunch of guys on television said so. Well, screw that. We need some new heroes.
Tim Tebow was awful and the Broncos were scoreless. There was a stretch from the 2nd through 3rd quarter where he missed 6 consecutive passing attempts. At the start of the 4th quarter, Tebow had 2 net passing yards. The game was, seemingly, over. There were 5 minutes and 23 second left in the 4th quarter and the Broncos were down 15-0 with the ball at their own 20.
Then, it was Tebow Time. Somehow, the Broncos came away with an 18-15 win.
Can anyone explain to me what happened? Luck? A Tim Tebow Miracle? Mile High Magic in Miami?
It's not often that you come across something you can't quantify or comprehend. As senior engineering student at the University of Louisville, I've been taught a number of methods for quantifying biological processes, creating equations for control systems or modeling mechanical functions. In football, there are a lot of ways that we can measure certain aspects of the game such as 3rd down conversions, rushing yards allowed, turnovers, etc.
But how do you quantify heart? How can you make an equation for a 4th quarter comeback? How do you model putting the team on your back?
I honestly don't know.
John Fox said, praising Tebow. "It's a great quality to have. We got a guy, No. 7 [John Elway], who I work with every day, he had 'it.'"
A week before the 2010 NFL Draft, a handful of marketing experts said drafting Tim Tebow would only marginally boost ticket sales for the Jaguars. They estimated the former Nease High and University of Florida quarterback would bump season tickets sales by about 3,000.
"If Tebow were a John Elway it'd be different, but he's not regarded that way," Bob Leffler, head of the Leffler agency, the largest sports entertainment advertising agency in America, told The Florida Times-Union at the time.
Tebow led the Broncos to a stirring comeback victory Sunday, but he's not going to be John Elway. Clearly, it would have been a reach for the Jaguars to take him with the No. 10 overall pick (they chose DT Tyson Alualu).
But whether Tebow turns out to a good, great or a bust in the NFL, it's clear that marketing people underestimated his intangibles and popularity. He's made just four starts, yet Tebow is already achieving near-iconic status in Denver (people bought billboards pleading with the Broncos to play him), and he was the focal point of the NFL on Sunday.
If Tebow were playing for his hometown Jaguars, is it unreasonable to think he would have sold 10,000 or more season tickets, even if he was holding a clipboard as a backup QB? Probably not.
That's not to say the Jaguars whiffed on Tebow. The general consensus is that Blaine Gabbert, who the Jaguars selected with their first-round pick this year, will be a better quarterback than Tebow. Gabbert's mechanics are better, his arm is stronger. Still, given Tebow's ascendance to the starting job, and the national following he has, it's hard to resist asking, "What if?"
"I guess the Denver fans finally saw what [Florida] fans saw down there — a spark, the fact that he gives something extra, the ability to dodge tackles," said Tariq Suleiman.
Tariq and Mohammad are so enamored of Tebow that, back in September, they unveiled a downtown Denver billboard exhorting head coach John Fox to replace Orton with Tebow.
Never mind that the Suleimans are Muslims and Tebow wears his Christianity proudly. When it comes to football, the Suleimans say that religion isn't part of the equation.
"The fact that he's a strict follower is very good, actually," Tariq said. "We're tired of hearing about these celebrities and these players that just can't seem to keep themselves out of trouble. He's a God-fearing person and knows his limit. And I also like him as a football player."
Added Mohammad: "It has nothing to do with religion. He motivates the team, the fans. It's exciting. I'm worried about winning in Denver and if Tebow's the guy who helps us get those wins, I'm all for it. I'm a convert."
Comedian John Oliver starts the skit by making his ire clear: He hates Tim Tebow.
Oliver, who won an Emmy in 2009 for his work as a "Daily Show" correspondent, doesn't just dislike Tebow. He saves that designation, he says, for Zimbabwe dictator Robert Mugabe. No, Oliver hates Tebow.
"How dare you -- how dare you -- thank God before thanking your offensive line," Oliver cracked at Florida State's homecoming in 2010. "Do you have any idea what an offensive line goes through during a game? If I was an offensive lineman for Tim Tebow, and I heard him thank God instead of thanking me at the end of the game, I'd find myself lining up for the following game and say, 'Oh Tim, I heard your press conference at the end of the game last week, great to hear Jesus get a shout-out.'
"'Wasn't he fantastic for us? Wasn't God great, especially in that fourth quarter? ... Let's see how Jesus blocks for you this time. Oh, it seems Jesus didn't read that blitz.'"
The crowd laughed because, well, plenty of people -- not just Florida State Seminoles -- would find that funny. They also cheered, something plenty of people -- not just Florida State Seminoles -- would also endorse. But why? Why do they cheer?
Why do people hate Tim Tebow?
"It really blows my mind," said Dolphins center Mike Pouncey, who spent three seasons as an offensive lineman for Tebow at the University of Florida. "You talk about a guy that's in the church, doesn't do drugs, doesn't drink alcohol, lives right, won the Heisman, won the national championship in college.
"Why do you criticize a guy like that?"
"He's been criticized his whole life and all he did was prove people wrong and win," Pouncey said. "I think he's going to do the same thing in the NFL and I'll take a winner over a pretty passer any day. He can run the ball and I think that threat with him running the ball, it scares defenses because it's hard to bring him down. Tebow's a winner and no matter how he throws the football he figures out a way how to win games."
"He's going to have his share of fans," Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby said. "But ... disappointing a whole bunch of people gives me energy. Maybe have some babies cry or something."
Defensive end Eddie Delaney is living his dream playing Division I football at UAlbany. Despite being born without a left hand, the 19-year-old Holtsville, N.Y. native is thriving on the gridiron. He garnered Northeast Conference Rookie of the Week honors in only his second career start and co-led the team in pass breakups this season. He also received second team honors for the Northeast Conference.
Delaney, a sophomore business administration major, notices his opponents peer down at his hand at the line of scrimmage. But it doesn't bother him. He's never seen himself as disabled.
He also doesn't see himself as a role model, either -- but he is. As Delaney leaves the sidelines after a recent game, he spots a group of young children smiling and waving emphatically from the bleachers. He walks over to them, autographs their caps and shirts. It was then Delaney realized he is a role model.
"I've never thought of myself that way. I'm just a kid who plays football and goes to school," said Delaney, who was diagnosed with diabetes at age six and wears an insulin pump. "But they look up to me. They see me and think they can do anything, too. It's a good feeling. It means a lot."
To his teammates, Delaney is known as a bit of a prankster. Over the summer, Delaney told freshmen on the football squad that he lost his hand in a shark attack. Some of them still believe it, he said, laughing. He also jokes about dressing up as a pirate every Halloween.
When he isn't playing practical jokes, Delaney can be found talking with children who have disabilities, emphasizing the same message his parents instilled in him -- you can do anything you set out to do. Delaney and his Great Danes teammates hosted more than 90 children with diabetes, known as "The Sugar-Free Gang." Coordinated through Ellis Hospital, the joint effort allowed these kids to meet an inspirational athlete who can share their stories of growing up with diabetes.
Delaney had a similar experience, meeting former New York Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott, who was also born without a hand. Like Abbott, Delaney is determined not to let it slow him down. It hasn't yet.

My 13-year-old son recently saved for and purchased an iPod
touch. Although he rides a bus for one hour each way to school, we
forbade him to bring it with him for fear of him losing or damaging
So now, the minute he wakes in the morning, the earplugs are in
his ears. As soon as he walks in the door in the afternoon, he's
engrossed in it. The other night I found him sitting in front of a

think he's literally addicted to it. He wants to do nothing else
after school these days. It's all I can do to hold any conversation
with him without him being annoyed that he has to pause his
I don't want to squash his love of music or the rite of passage

Hutton raring to go
Alan Hutton insists he is ready and raring to start for Scotland against Iceland on Wednesday.
Last Updated: 30/03/09 2:09pm
Alan Hutton insists he is ready and raring to start for Scotland against Iceland on Wednesday.
The Tottenham defender made his return from a long-term foot problem as a second-half substitute in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Holland.
Hutton made a second-half cameo appearance and he could be in line to start the must-win World Cup qualifier with Iceland at Hampden Park.
The former Rangers man is desperate to return to action after such a long spell on the sidelines.
"Personally I have been working really hard over the last few weeks," said Hutton.
"Obviously I got on the other night and I felt sharp so if called upon I don't see why I could not be able to do my best.
"I have been working very hard, a lot harder than how I did last time, knowing that these games were coming up.
"Personally I am quite naturally fit anyway, which is a plus for me, so I am feeling very good at the moment and if called upon hopefully I will be able to do my best.
"I have been desperate to play for months, so obviously when I got the call I could have run up here.
"I have done everything I possibly could to get fit for it and I would like to think I am."

A/N: Yay, another Elliot/Leo fanfic by meh! Cheer, mortals! -gets only crickets-
Well...I think I've been reading too much Francesca Lia Block lately (my FAVE author! 8D). Her writing style is rubbing off. Thus, this fanfic was born xD Did I try too hard? Ah, well. Flower language is used here again but they're all explained in the fic. Feel free to ask if you want to know anything c(: Just don't tell Elliot I keep stealing his interest, alright?
Please, enjoy it!
It would be awful if you had let all the black steal the colors you radiate, the colors I see when I'm around you, thinking of you, hearing your voice, or seeing your fingers dance across the ivory keys of your piano. Asphodels would reach to the dark sky in sorrow as soon as you let yourself lose those wonderful colors. My regrets would lie in sleep with you in the grave.
You told me that the glasses helped you from seeing those flashes of gold, the eyes of people who weren't there. You told me that you could see them. Back when I first met you, you said that the books helped you forget what you saw, because you were so engrossed in the black letters printed on those endless pages. You saw these things.
White roses: you made me promise not to tell anyone. White of the silence that you craved, silence that we both lived in. White of secrecy. You trusted only me. White of eternal love. White roses.
More than once, I wanted to forgo your fears painted dark blue like midnight and your wishes stained sunshine-yellow with our promise. Behind those long, long black bangs framing your pale face; through those glasses where you filtered out the Technicolor world, were eyes that knew only abysmal black sorrow. You didn't want to see anymore, and the only things that had entered those amethyst eyes was sadness.
I could see it when I looked at you. Red love-lies-bleeding staining your heart in hopelessness. I thought that when you became my valet, I could take that kind of feeling away from you. Yes, I was that self-centered. But I wasn't blind, you know. You're my closest friend, my brother, my companion that I could somehow always find myself back to. I began and ended with you. You couldn't hide those crimson tears from me.
But I saw them a few times. Those purple irises, those glittering pools of lavender.
Purple lilacs. Purple, the color only the richest could afford. Purple lilacs: the first real emotions of love. Your eyes, when you weren't hiding them... I could see those flowers blooming in them.
You felt the same, right?
"Elliot, I'll always see them," you whispered. You were sitting before the piano, your fingers slowly tinkering down the white keys, white roses, playing their white sounds of dreams, innocence. We both stared at the keys, ancient and out-of-tune when you played because they were coated in green lichen – solitude. Trapped in your thick forest of dark green. Solitude.
You thought you were so alone. With every time you believed that, the pink hydrangeas bloomed like sunset fireworks over your heart, suffocating it, gray smoke everywhere, and you couldn't find your way back to the colors I knew are buried inside you:
Technicolor waves of sea-blue when you laughed, deep love-worthy red when you smiled, silver starlight leaving your lips whenever you breathed peacefully next to me in the night, chasing away the shadows – blurring together like aurora borealis.
Slowly, you played out the song I wrote for you. Your tears as your fingers had the piano sing came in red petals, full of despair.
"I can make the bleeding stop," I declared firmly, wrapping my arms around you, smothering the pale pink and war red and all the evil colors that I hated blooming inside you. All the wrong colors. Terrible hues.
You took off your glasses in frustration, looking up at me. Petals were still falling from your eyes, your hands gripping mine, needing comfort. You don't need to say anything for me to know these things. White roses, remember? We've always communicated in the silence.
I brushed back your blackest-night hair, and smiled as I saw the purple lilacs shed their blooms onto your cheeks.
"It would probably kill you trying to make it stop," you whispered in a voice filled with broken glass, shattered mirrors everywhere. "You can't fix me, nor do I expect you to."
Your lies were tarnished with the pink of sweet briar: a wound to heal. Red and pink petals, small and cutting deeper than an oblivion-black razor, spreading in your blood, bleeding deadly, deadly flowers.
"Shut up, I do what I will," I growled to you. "Things like worth and sacrifice, I don't care about that."
"Then what do you see when you look at me?" you demanded, tossing my hands aside.
Red. Red daisies. Greatness and beauty that you won't see in yourself. Unless you're just so thick you can't see any of that. Red tulips. Declarations of love. Red tears I'm willing to lick up to swallow your sorrows. Red blood I'd do anything to preserve. Red. Love.
You were frozen when I took another step towards you, reaching out...
"Lilacs...," I murmured mindlessly, and I tilted my head to capture your pink, pink lips.
Get me lost in that purple gaze.
Don't let the colors fade away.
I need them. I need you to paint me all hues of your heart, your soul, your touch and eyes...
Please, tell me you see the amethyst lilacs, too.
Ending A/N: I swear this isn't as random as it was! It was my "color" theme idea for the contest OfWithHisHead is holding on deviantart. But since I thought it was too... -insert appropriate adjective here because I can't think of one!- So yeah...
Still, I really hoped you liked this. Please review/critique!

- "Captain, these men have killed my friend... an old friend, and they wanted to kill me, too..."
"Yeah, right. Now tell me ― why did they attack you in the first place?"
"I'm afraid that's a secret, sir, and not mine to tell. I'm bound by the code of Morgan and Bartholomew."
- ―Artois Voysey and Nathaniel Hawk
Artois Voysey was a skilled Navigator who served under Nathaniel Hawk in the 1630s.
