Posted: 19th December 2009 by Dave Trembley in NFL
You remember the movie Spiderman III?áJustáaáfew years ago? Remember there was a mysterious black oozing tar that incredibly had a will of its own? That the black oozing appended itself to Peter ParkerÆs SpideyÆs suit and gave him incredible strength, speed, and an attitude nastier than Steve Hutchinson with a belly fully of Tasmanian Devils?á And Peter Parker brought the suit to his teacher, Dr. Curt Conners, who called the ...

Silence is Golden
The old teacher in David Carradine's classic TV series Kung Fu, whose name was Master Po, was fond of saying things like "Grasshopper, the pathway you have chosen is chosen for you.

Probably the most unusual statistic from week sevenÆs play, for me at least, was that only ONE game in the entire schedule was decided by less than seven points, (Houston-San Francisco). All other games had a margin of victory greater than seven points. The last time that only one game was decided by less than seven points was in week four of ...
