Finally, Someone Who Understands Me
Posted by Jeff on February 10, 2011
"You can observe a lot just by watching."
In the last paper that I received (Tuesday – Yesterday and today’s are (I assume) buried in snow), John Sykes, Jr. steps up to William Safire territory. In this well-written article, he analyzes how humans twist cliches and other expressions. Unsurprisingly athletes and coaches take the largest share of the blame.
The snow in NWA is ridiculous. Pictures coming. I’d shovel but that’s a “tall task” to face.

If we could combine your hatred of overused cliches with my disdain for former players always calling the NFL the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE (and never shortening it to NFL) we would have a blizzard of bitter.

I agree. But I don’t want to tarnish my reputation as Mr. Half Full. (Or does that have to do with my weight?)

If you took AB at 2-1, you’re a winner:

Even considering I am the bearer of record snowfalls, I’m shocked you had BK at 3/2 and me at 2/1. Is it 2009?

I failed to account for the fact that Brett is in his 7 month long BlogWhatnow? mode.
