The shooting of Congresswoman Giffords is a tough one to take. You know, the crosshairs, the rhetoric, etc. surrounding a rather conservative Democrat. But let's focus on the reporting for a bit, because we don't know much about the shooter (obviously a nutbag), his motives, or even if there is another person involved.

We've gone from Giffords being shot, to her being dead, to her "responding", to optimism about a recovery, to an induced coma, to now that she never awoke. How does that happen? If you are shot through your head, brain actually, optimism for recovery means what exactly? I sense that you'll survive, but at what capacity? That appears to be overlooked at the present. Maybe too tough to take, but man, there seems to be a lot of guessing or misinformation distributed over the airwaves.

Kenny Dalglish goes back to Liverpool. This is comparable to Elvis returning. Of course, Liverpool lost their first game, an FA Cup match with Man U, upon his return. But, we'll always have this to look fondly on...

The Roy Hodgson Facerub



The 41 places to go this year. Even Durham, NC makes the cut.

BTW, my bad. Those weren't crosshairs, they were surveyor's symbols. Of course.

Seattle-New Orleans was a fun game to watch yesterday, really from nowhere. And the Jets beat Indy.

Today, Packers-Eagles looks good in the late game. I'll take the Pack and I really think the Ravens take it to KC.
