Is Mark Sanchez like Barak Obama?

Jan 24 2010

Tony Lee thinks so:

Sanchez, on the other hand, is like Obama on the campaign trail. He’s a raw upstart, but he has an uncanny ability to inspire and lead. His teammates want to follow him. He embraces the spotlight and is at ease under it. He’s poised and is confident without being cocky.

Who to root for?

Jan 24 2010

This weekend is ‘Division Championship Weekend’ in the NFL.  There are only four teams left and four possible outcomes.  Since my team, the Carolina Panthers, are not involved I don’t have a dog in this fight.  So here is a quick look at the four possible storylines that are attached with each of the four possible match ups.

Possible Super Bowl Match-ups:

Saints vs Colts

Native son Peyton Manning returns to his second Super Bowl to face off against his hometown team for whom his father (Hall of Famer Archie Manning) lead for 11 years.  Meanwhile the New Orleans Saints try to lift the spirits of an entire community still rebuilding post-Katrina.

Jets vs Vikings

The NY Jets with their rookie coach Rex Ryan and their rookie QB Mark Sanchez lead the Jets back to the Super Bowl for the first time in 41 years, where they will face off against their ex-quarterback, Brett Farve.  Future Hall of Famer, Farve is now 40 years old and looking to end his long, storied career with a championship ring.

Vikings vs Colts

Here we would see two Hall of Fame quarterbacks go head to head against each other.  Brett Farve and Peyton Manning both lead high powered offenses that could end in a shoot out between two of the game’s greatest passers.

Jets vs Saints

The Jets and their crushing defense (ranked #1 in the league) would go up against the Saints, who held the #1 offense in the league this season.  A battle of wills where anything could happen.

Conan’s Final Message

Jan 24 2010

“To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing – and this I ask particularly of young people who watch – please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere.

Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”

Do Children Dream?

Jan 24 2010

Meh, not much at first:

Preschoolers’ dreams are often static and plain, such as seeing an animal or thinking about eating. There are no characters that move, no social interactions, little feeling, and they do not include the dreamer as an active character…Preschoolers do not report fear in dreams, and there are few aggressions, misfortunes and negative emotions. Children who have night terrors, in which they awaken early during the night from SWS [slow-wave sleep] and display intense fear and agitation, are probably terrorized by disorientation owing to incomplete awakening rather than by a dream. Thus, although children of age 2–5 years can see and speak of everyday people, objects and events, they apparently cannot dream of them.

Did Cavemen Die In Their 30s?

Jan 24 2010

Apparently not:

Nobody was considered “old” at 30 in prehistory, just as 30 year-olds aren’t considered “old” among modern day hunter-gatherers, or in the Old Testament, where humans were allotted 70 years (three score and ten). People who lived beyond childhood often–even typically–lived into their 60s and 70s in prehistory. The evidence for this is overwhelming, and well known to specialists in anthropology, primatology, and archaeology.

Conan gets “Crazy Expensive” with NBC

Jan 21 2010

Since he’s getting kicked off the air anyway, soon to be ex-Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien had fun at NBC’s expense – literally. He unveiled a new character to the show – the Bugatti Veyron Mouse, the most expensive car in the world dressed up as a mouse. On top of that, they played an original master recording of The Rolling Stones classic song “Satisfaction.”  Total cost of the bit – $1.5 million.

Incase the YouTube link below is dead, you can watch it here as well.

Note: NBC has pulled the bit from both Hulu and NBC.com – apparently unwilling to pay the song royalties.
