Bush Picks Up Two Key Endorsements: Terry Bradshaw and Howie Long

When JB read the stat that said whenever the Redskins lose before the election, the incumbent loses, Bradshaw began saying "Say it ain't so" while Long said "Ain't gonna happen."

Blaster Says Don't Worry About the Redskins Losing: "With the Sox winning, all sports predictors and curses are now null and void."

That sounds pretty good to me.

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.

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.

The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible.

A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia.

If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper.

Yes, the named suspect resembles the police sketch of Zodiac.

Here's a podcast with the amateur sleuth who claims he cracked the Zodiac.
