I think the Football Gods will exact their retribution for "Lambert Field"

They are toying with him...

Schilling, Bradshaw, Long, most of NASCAR...

Why is it the jocks are for Bush? I'm starting to believe that "Team America" speech.

With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void.

Everything changed after 9/11.

There was also a Monday Night Football game, very early in the season, in Foxboro, that had an exchange like this:

Madden (commenting on a play): That's what you call a flip-flop.
Michaels: You're in the right state for that.

Jocks are for Bush because they know there is no easy way to win but through concerted effort ... marrying a rich woman doesn't get you much on the field ... Bush is in the fight and willing to takes risks that Kerry and many liberals are not willing to take.

Blaster is right. There is no way under normal circumstances a guy as fiercly competitive as the Babe would allow his curse to fall to #2 to the cubbies!Something else is going on, so all sports predictors are out the window.

"Stay on Target!"

AC/DC also wrote "Giving the Dog a Bone." This might not be the most ineffective song, but it is surely one of the most tasteless. Bad Company's "Feel Like Making Love" with its thrusting guitar riff is quite tasteless, too. These might work with the "right" woman, though.

There is no "right" woman for Lee Greenwood's song, however.

I must've missed that bit today, but that's great news. Then again, it *is* Fox.

It's nearly enough to make me forgive Howie for "Firestorm" and those insufferable Radio Shack commercials.

Terry's a god among men, however.

Cheers,
Dave

Also the Patriots winning streak was finally brought to an end today, signaling that this is indeed the year in which past trends/streaks do not matter.
