7 Quick Things

1. Michael Vick was amazing last night.  20-28 passing for 33 yards and 4 TDs and a 150.7 QB rating. Add in 8 carries for 80 yards and two more scores and you have an all out whipping applied to the Redskins.  I am not in anyway a Vick supporter really, but I am intrigued by the story.  He's done everything right since getting out of prison.  America loves a comeback story.  Vick is rapidly becoming the Robert Downey Jr. of the NFL.

2.  They are making a sitcom out of Colin Cowherd's life.  Best of luck.  The last time they tried something like that, we had Listen Up starring Jason Alexander as Tony Kleinman (a fictionalized version of Tony Kornheiser).  It didn't last too long.

3.  The Cowboys have a dress code now. Jason Garrett apparently means business.  I am desperately hoping he does well.  I can't take much more of this mess.  But there is also part of me that is hoping for Jon Gruden to coach the Cowboys. 

4. Color me disinterested in the plight of the non-BCS schools.  I know you want your piece of the pie. I just don't care.  I am trying to care.  I really am.  But for some reason you all just sound so whiny.  If you get in, good for you.  If not, sorry.

5.  I haven't been to the movies since high school football started except to see The Town.  I have a ton on my slate as soon as the season ends.  But this week it looks as if that is impossible.  Thursday Smoaky and I are in Humble for La Vega vs. Kirbyville.  Friday we are in Seymour (which is just southwest of Wichita Falls and 400 gosh awful miles away from Humble) for Crawford and Spearman.  Then back here in Waco Saturday night for what hopefully is a BU upset of Oklahoma.

6.  Am I alone in hating cell phone rings?  Just have your phone ring.  I am surrounded by people in this office that have different ringtones.  They all tick me off.  Please stop this madness.  

7. A high school in Alexandria, Virginia is dropping the F grade.  And replacing it with I for "incomplete."  Come on!  Getting an F is a truly scary experience.  Don't take that power out of a teacher's hands.  They really don't have that much left.  I am not pro-coddling.  I went to Catholic school.  I was just lucky I was at the front end of the no corporal punishment years.  Even still, I have been open hand slapped by more than one nun.  And I was a good kid!  Not a trouble maker at all.  My "rambunctiousness and misdmeanorin" didn't come until much later in life.  But I am still a little scared of Sister Catherine.  She'd fail you and slap you.  All of us are better people for it.
