SO PROUD OF THE LADS!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bobby "The Brain" Diaco &lt;strong&gt;DIALED UP&lt;/strong&gt; the SWARMING DEFENSE and the players CUT IT LOOSE so that Utah scored fewer points than the number of wives some Utah residents will score with tonight!! A measley field goal from the team rated #5just seven days ago!! Are you KIDDING ME?? Prince Shembo has been promoted ... TO KING!! Man-ti is now GOD-WIN!! Ethan Johnson ... a BEAST!! Jamorous Slaughter ... SLEW the UTES!! Harrison Smith delivered HIGHWAY ROBBERY -- What a PICK!! Gary Gray, I dub the CASTAWAY because you are a MAN ON AN ISLAND ... SHUTDOWN CORNER!! Even Schwenke brought a little KONA!! And who isn't happy for BRIAN "The Hammer" Smith -- whose day started with tears of joy and sadness while arm and arm with his emotional and understanding pops and ended with tears of just JOY while arm and arm with his happy few, his Band of Brothers!! DOMINATING DEFENSE!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And how about young "Touchdown" Tommy Rees??!!?? Every time they flashed the Chewing Gum/Curious George poster we DELIVERED THE GOODS!! SEVEN TD passess in SEVEN Quarters?? Are you KIDDING ME?? And "Sheriff" Lo Wood -- BRINGING THE THUNDER!! The Offensive LINE .... STUD!! You simply CANNOT STOP THE LADS!! KUDOS to KAMARA who DANCED in the END ZONE ... for JOY!! GLORY!! GLORY!! GLORY!! B-Kell BROUGHT IT today!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And DO NOT forget those special teams. Robert Blanton could have snagged that ball from the punter's DROP if he wanted to ... but he thought the TWAP, scoop and score was WAY COOLER (and I wholeheartedly AGREE!!) And Austin "see what you hit" Collingworth PUT IT ON THE BALL!! And who wasn't SOBBING LIKE A BABY ON A BAD DAY FOR THAT BABY during the halftime story on young Mr. Ruffer??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The LADS PUT THE LUMBER to the team one week removed from the #5 spot in the land -- with a BULLET!! If you beat the team one week removed from #5 by 25 (going away I might add, with our foot off the proverbial gas), we could DEFINITELY beat Auburn, Oregon or David Boies State by at least 14. Oh, I did I mention the Lads did it without their #1 QB. Without their #1 Running Back. Without their #1 Tight End. Without their #2 WR? Without their #2 leading tackler and starting Linebacker?? INCREDIBLE!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PUT THE LADS IN THE BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME -- THEY HAVE EARNED IT!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I'd say put B Kell in the PANTHEON .... But he is ALREADY THERE!! The ONLY Coach in ND's storied history to ever beat Utah (only 7 days from their being ranked #5).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a LEVIATHAN growing on the Northern Indiana plains. And the rest of the college football world is SHAKING WITH FEAR!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GREATEST WIN IN OUR HISTORY!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GREATEST TEAM IN OUR HISTORY!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;S T O N E !!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14742056-1012671844083469585?l=ndchoochoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ndchoochoo.blogspot.com/feeds/1012671844083469585/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14742056&amp;postID=1012671844083469585&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14742056/posts/default/1012671844083469585'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14742056/posts/default/1012671844083469585'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ndchoochoo.blogspot.com/2010/11/call-it-john-hancock-bowl-because-that.html' title='Call it the JOHN HANCOCK Bowl, because that was a SIGNATURE WIN ...

I had a great life.  I have served my country on many levels, and sought to improve the lot of the least among us, and quite frankly, that means you.  When I have fought for the downtrodden, pathetic, disgusting, pocks-riddled, stinky, overweight and undereducated great unwashed, I have always thought of you.  You, in your glorious disgustingness, have been my 400 lb muse.  Your rolls of fat under your muu'muu were like sweet backlava, nourishing me through it all."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am sending you this note from my deathbed, and ask that you deliver it on my death on The Choo Choo.  It sets forth what I really hope the future will hold, and my greatest prayers for our country.  I am telling you that this will be the year of Notre Dame," "the great unfinished business of our society" he called it, a Notre Dame National Championship.  He repeated the truth that "Notre Dame is decisive for our future prosperity," but he also reminded me that "it concerns more than material things."  "What we face," he wrote, "is above all a moral issue.  At stake are not just the details of Sunday polls, but fundamental principles of football justice, and the character of college football."  I've thought about the phrase quite a bit in recent days, "the character of college football."  One of the unique and wonderful thing about Notre Dame has always been our self-reliance, our rugged individualism, our fierce defense of the quarterback, and our healthy skepticism of the NCAA, and figuring out the appropriate size and scope of the NCAA has always been a source of rigorous and sometimes angry debate.  That's Notre Dame's history.  For some, Ted Kennedy's brand of love for Notre Dame represented an affront to college football.  In their mind, his passion for the Irish was nothing more than a passion for the Papacy.  But those of us who knew Teddy, and stalked him, here, knows something more.  His friend Pee Wee Peet Carol (who's last name is a girl's name) knows that.  They worked together to score with chicks at various Hollywood clubs.  His friend Joe Paterno knows that.  They worked together looking like they were actually working at high profile jobs when in fact they napped most afternoons.  His friend Urban Meyer knows that.  They both had to fight off the unwanted advances of Shelley Meyer at the Palm Beach compound.  On issues like thses, the passion of Ted Kennedy was not born of rigid ideology, but of his love of booze, hot chicks and Notre Dame.  It is the experience of seeing Miami and Ohio State win National Championships. He was "sickened" by the likes of USC, Boston College, Miami, Oklahoma, Florida and West Virginia experiencing success.  He knew that, although the measure of our society is how we treat the least among us, when the least went to USC, or Florida, etc., ...., well, ....

University of Southern California junior football player Terry Minard has no pending criminal charges, University officials announced at a hastily-called Monday afternoon press conference at USC’s Heritage Hall in Los Angeles.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Terry has not been charged with any assaults, sexual or otherwise, has not fled the scene of any criminal activity, has not waived a real or replica firearm at anyone, has not solicited a prostitute, did not have any controlled substances found in his apartment, has not been linked to the illegal distribution of steroids, and, to the best of our knowledge, has not received improper benefits from agents” University spokesman Michael Johnson recounted. “We have no explanation for this,” continued Johnson.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reached while vacationing in Hawaii, USC Head Coach Pete Carroll at first denied the reports.  “When you’ve been at the top like us, there’s a lot of jealousy out there, and these reports of no criminal activity come from out time to time, and it’s usually underblown.  Our detractors will continue to make these kinds of accusations, and all we can do is keep our focus where it should be:  bringing young men into an environment where lawlessness, rule-breaking, over-aggressiveness, performance-enhancing drugs, and homo-erotic symbolism are allowed to dominate all aspects of their lives.”  When advised that the University had confirmed the reports of no criminal activity by Minard, Carroll added:  “Well, certainly that will be something we will look into. If there is an issue there, we’ll get to the bottom of it.  In fact, I am jacked to have the opportunity to treat this lack of criminality as a real ‘teaching moment’ for Terry and others who might choose to go down such a regrettable road.”  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reached at his apartment at Cardinal Gardens, the site of a number of prior illegal acts by USC football players, Minard, a reserve safety who has seen limited minutes the last two seasons, was nonplussed by the controversy.  “It’s odd.  Lack of trouble just seems to follow me.  It’s not like I say to myself each morning ‘I’m going to avoid assaulting people or being involved with illegal substances.’  It just seems to happen that way.  I can’t explain it.”  When asked whether he thought his lack of lawlessness had impacted his playing time, Minard added “Coach Carroll has talked to me about it, and it’s something we’re working on.  He gave me ‘The Inner Game of Tennis’ and ‘Helter Skelter to read together, and I really think I’ll get this turned around.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Experts noted that the lack of criminal activity among football players at major programs is on the rise.  Dr. Noel James, a sociologist at the University of Denver who has written on the phenomenon, believes that it’s just part of a “lawfulness culture” that has been on the rise in all aspects of society recently.  “Major college sports reflects our society, and we are seeing a spike in people playing by the rules in our culture,” notes Dr. James.  “Our youth take their cues from our leaders, and when our President does not break the law routinely, it is an unfortunate but certain trickle-down effect that our youth will also stop breaking the law.  Unless and until we can get, for instance, another Vice-President who shoots people for no reason, we can expect this uptick in lawfulness to continue.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coach Carroll noted that since the incarceration of USC great O.J. Simpson, it has been harder to bring in examples of lawlessness for the team to learn from.  “Back in the day, we could bring in OJ to get these kids off the straight and narrow.  But with the travesty in Nevada, he’s out of pocket for 25 to life, so we’ll just have to go elsewhere to get the message out.”  Carroll noted that the summer can be a particularly difficult time for coaches to monitor their players’ lawlessness.  “With all the free time they have, you can’t always be there to choose for the kid.  All you can do is give him the information and the tools and the knowledge.  Then he’s on his own.  If he messes up and choices to make a lawful decision, it doesn’t mean we don’t still love him.  It just means that we have to teach him the Trojan Way a little better.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;USC’s spokesman Michael Johnson was careful not to attribute Minard’s instance of law-abidedness to any societal or University trend.  “This is just one kid who sadly chose a path of integrity.  No one should take this to mean that Coach Carroll or the University condone such a choice, or that it reflects any sort of trend.  We stand on our prior record which shows that this lawfulness is an aberration which will not be permitted to fester.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14742056-6691047830531934571?l=ndchoochoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ndchoochoo.blogspot.com/feeds/6691047830531934571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14742056&amp;postID=6691047830531934571&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14742056/posts/default/6691047830531934571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14742056/posts/default/6691047830531934571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ndchoochoo.blogspot.com/2009/08/usc-football-player-has-no-trouble-with.html' title='USC FOOTBALL PLAYER HAS NO TROUBLE WITH THE LAW'/><author><name>Marco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03994172900118611723</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hMaM_A3Sd6A/SNUCn1qDOkI/AAAAAAAAAEc/u0aTgID4s1w/s1600-R/sir-topham-hatt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14742056.post-6921366972547732021</id><published>2009-08-07T22:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-07T22:57:08.461-07:00</updated><title type='text'>i just did a regression analysis</title><content type='html'>of seasons in which (1) Notre Dame had an overweight head football coach; (2) from New Jersey; (3) with a starting QB from Southern California; (4) With a Democratic President; (5) from Illinois; (6) who was born in EITHER Hawaii OR Kenya, and I found, based STRICTLY ON THE NUMBERS, that there has NEVER been a situation in which those circumstances have been all SIMULTANEOUSLY met in which Notre Dame FAILED to win a National Championship in the ENTIRE HISTORY OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!

And that is what Obama is about.  Whereas Republicans and the rest of the college football world despise Catholics and Catholic teaching when it comes to social justice.  Look no further than George Bush's visit to Bob Jones University and the fact that only the DEMOCRATS have nominated a Catholic candidate for PRESIDENT (twice) whereas Repbulicans campaign at anti-Catholic bastions and have accused Democratic Catholic candidates of being "agents" of the Papacy.  Sickening Republicans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notre Dame teaches its students to help the less fortunate and the downtrodden.  Obama does the same, including his call for health care reform to address the needs of the less fortunate.  The poor have little or no access to health care.  Human dignity deserves such asscess.  To be opposed to it, as the Republicans are, is reprehensible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notre Dame focuses on service.  So does Obama, a community organizer.

Well, I've put my people ON IT, and we've got the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Chapter 1:  Love Blooms&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things started out well enough.  It was Fall on the campus of USC, and reliving a tradition going back to the ancient Troy itself (or at least to Ed Ogeron), man's fancy turned to .... other men.  Specifically, it was the Fall of 2008, and Pee Wee Peet Carol's fancy turned to his new quarterback, Mark Sanchez.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Peet was still reeling from losing the love of his life, Matt Lienert, to the NFL two years earlier.  Although the torrid affair affair between Pee Wee Peet and Matt ended on a downer at the Rose Bowl in January 2006, Pee Wee Peet still loved Matt.  How could anyone replace him??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pee Wee thought he'd found the perfect replacement with John David Booty (to quote Pee Wee Peet "how could I go wrong with a guy named Booty??"), it just didn't pan out.  Whether it was the two first names, his telegraphing of passes, or his dislike of morning spooning time, J.D. just wasn't the one.  Heading into the Fall of 2008, Pee Wee was aching for a man to replace Matt.  And Mark Sanchez proved to be an able suitor who blinked his eyes, oiled up his pecs and found his way into Pee Wee's heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two fell into each other arms' and lives' like they were made for each other.  Things were looking good for Pee Wee Peet Carol (who's last name is a girl's name).  He'd found his man.  He asked only one thing of Mark:  "Mark, promise me, PROMISE ME, you'll never think of the NFL without me!!"  Mark looked deep into Pee Wee Peet's eyes and said "Peet, you've got yourself a quarterback, a lover, and a DEAL!!"  And they were so happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0gv9dkTetZb0w/340x.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 340px; height: 295px;" src="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0gv9dkTetZb0w/340x.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bleacherreport.com/images_root/image_pictures/0280/6449/7952_feature.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 358px; height: 243px;" src="http://bleacherreport.com/images_root/image_pictures/0280/6449/7952_feature.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/08Qq83b6hj6JB/340x.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 340px; height: 350px;" src="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/08Qq83b6hj6JB/340x.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/086HajZ8SqeKe/340x.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 340px; height: 454px;" src="http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/086HajZ8SqeKe/340x.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chapter 2:  Control goes to Out of Control&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things were going well in the Pee Wee Peet -- Mark Sanchez love affair.  But as the season began to come to a close, Pee Wee knew the siren song of the NFL could try to woo his love interest away from him.  It had happened before.  So he decided to try a new tack: Mark was not allowed to leave the USC campus without Pee Wee with him, and even then, Mark was to be TIED DOWN with seatbelts that had confounding locks that NO USC STUDENT could undue:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.petecarroll.com/petecarroll/cms/NewsImages08/1226pcmsride.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 585px; height: 439px;" src="http://www.petecarroll.com/petecarroll/cms/NewsImages08/1226pcmsride.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pee Wee also installed a series of skin electrodes, strategically placed on Mark S's body to detect any form of NFL-related thoughts in Matt's brain, and send immediate message to Pee Wee Peet's Facebook page in the form of a siren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://assets.espn.go.com/media/motion/2009/0322/dm_090322_ncf_marksanchez.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 576px; height: 324px;" src="http://assets.espn.go.com/media/motion/2009/0322/dm_090322_ncf_marksanchez.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, Mark, being from Orange County, thought nothing of these restrictions.  But as time went on, and seeing that Rey Rey and Cushing had no such restrictions, he began to wonder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Breakup&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, some would say it was bound to happen.  The band .38 Special put it best:  "Hold on loosely, but don't let go.  If you squeeze too tightly, you're going to lose control."  Mark began to question the seatbelts, the electrodes, the weird breathing on his phone.  "I'm the quarterback of USC!!"  Thoughts of the future began to creep in.  He remembered the promise he made to Peet, but the temptations were there.  Mark made it through the season.  But after the Bowl game, ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, one day in early January, while listening Liza and watching the Wizard of Oz, Peet Facebook page WENT OFF!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.flashback70.com/pictures/ELPOLRE.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.flashback70.com/pictures/ELPOLRE.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"OMG" thought Peet.  That's the alarm!!  Mark is THINKING ABOUT THE NFL!!  He PROMISED me he would NEVER think of the NFL without ME!!  OMG!!  OMG!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peet put his pants on and RUSHED next door to Mark's room.  "I KNOW you were just thinking of the NFL without ME!!" screamed Pee Wee Peet.  You said you were just going to do your white paper for class" (as an aside, at USC, doing a "white paper" means finding a piece of white paper and turning it in as such, to show you can differentiate both objects (paper from say, a TV) and colors (white paper from say, purple paper) -- on the football team, 70% can successfully navigate the assignment (it would have been 80% except Cushing thought the professor said "white pooper" and ripped out a toilet from the wall and brought it to class)).  But I know you were THINKING ABOUT THE NFL WITHOUT ME!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, I swear, Pee Wee, I wasn't NOT thinking about the NFL without you!!  I would NEVER do that, I promised you!! begged Mark.  But Peet would have none of it.  His electrodes had caught Mark in the act.  Pee Wee shouted "You're LYING!!  My electrodes are FOOLPROOF!!  You were thinking about the NFL!!  We're THROUGH, you and I!!"  Tears began welling up in Mark's eyes.  "But, but, but, ..." he stammered.  "Pet names won't help you now, Mark.  You've hurt me, and now I'm going to hurt you."  Veins bulged out of Peet's neck, as he was about to utter words that he knew he could never take back.  "I still love Matt and I've been seeing him behind your back.  In fact, the whole reason he's not a starter in the NFL is because by being a backup, he has more time to spend with me!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark was CRUSHED!!  Matt was still his idol.  To hear that Pee Wee had gone back to Matt and cheated on Mark with Matt was too much.  Mark let out an Oregerian howl and began sobbing uncontrollably.  He grabbed his white piece of paper and stormed out of the apartment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Good riddance," thought Peet.  He never even thought to check the "MIND IMAGE" that the electrodes had created from Mark's brain that set off the siren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Public Finale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, we all know what happened next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pee Wee was STEAMING MAD at Mark:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://petesonthehotseat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/pete-carroll-punch-reggie-bush-father.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 360px;" src="http://petesonthehotseat.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/pete-carroll-punch-reggie-bush-father.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark was FILLED WITH RAGE toward Pee Wee Peet:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://mark-sanchez-round.go-poll.com/site/mark-sanchez-round/mark-sanchez-round.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 203px;" src="http://mark-sanchez-round.go-poll.com/site/mark-sanchez-round/mark-sanchez-round.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mark went to the NFL to spite Peet.  Peet publicly took Mark to task.  And of course, the BITTER, BITTER farewell:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategorized/2009/01/15/carroll_2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 490px; height: 339px;" src="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/photos/uncategorized/2009/01/15/carroll_2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't until weeks later, as Pee Wee Peet was sending love texts to Aaron, and missing the teenage duo Karffigian, that he saw that he never actually opened the "MIND IMAGE" that the electrodes had captured from Mark's Brain.  The NFL thought that Mark had that sent off the sirens and caused the breakup.  The image by which Mark had broken his promise never to think of the NFL without Peet.  Peet took a deep breath, clicked on the image that ended his love affair with Mark.  Upon seeing it, he recoiled in shame and horror.  He fell back onto his waterbed and cried out at what he had seen:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try  {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.themightymjd.com/uploaded_images/carroll-746716.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="http://www.themightymjd.com/uploaded_images/carroll-746716.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People worried about the economy, the Middle East, and a war on the other end of the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It sounds alot like the early 1970s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we need to pull us out of this funk, is the same thing that SAVED OUR NATION back in the 1970s/1980s.  It was not, as some have speculated, the Bush-named Voodoo Supply-side economics.  It was NOT David Stockman.  It was NOT the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No.  What pulled us out of that funk??  Catch-phrases.  Yes, a series of catch-phrases, designed by Hollywood and Madison Avenue pitchmen that brightened our day, put a spring in our step, and always, ALWAYS, gave us something to fall back on in otherwise forced conversation that could give us all a shared chuckle.  They restored confidence in ourselves, our economy, and ultimately, at its peak in ROCKY IV, our NATION and THE WORLD!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You sank my battleship!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DY-NO-MIIIIIIIIITE!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also love the easy opening cans!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WhatchyouTalkinBoutWillis??!!??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baseball, Hot Dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a crook [technically not invented by Madison Avenue or Hollywood, but penned by one of equal moral values so useful nonetheless]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sit on it!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, Charlie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OOOHHHHH!!

I did not see the connection, but the dog/God insisted that there was one, somewhat angrily as a matter of fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then He said this:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEIGHBOR'S DOG:  You, Marco, are a fat slob.  How much do you weigh??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME:  Talking Dog, aren't you omniscient??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEIGHBOR'S DOG:  Shut the &amp;^%%@ up.  Answer the ##&amp;%R^@ing question!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME:  I'm not sure.  Some where around 280 pounds&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEIGHBOR'S DOG:  You are a fat slob.  Your fatness is an insult to me.  You are &lt;br /&gt;ordered to lose weight in 2009 -- which 1 Billion Chinamen will call the year of the &lt;br /&gt;Ox.  Weigh yourself on January 1.  For each pound you lose by September 4, 2009, I shall grant Notre Dame an offense Touchdown during the upcoming season.  The Official Weigh-in shall be in front of the Notre Dame Basilica at 4:00 pm on Sept. 4.  Their success rises and falls entirely with you.  Based upon what I can see, it will fall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ME:  Dude/dog, shouldn't you already know how many points Notre Dame is going to score in 2009 based upon the whole omniscience thing again??  And should you really refer to them as "Chinamen"??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEIGHBOR'S DOG:  Shut the ##%@! up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let the challenge begin.  Anyone living near the Basilica got a scale??&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/14742056-4500037973212279383?l=ndchoochoo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ndchoochoo.blogspot.com/feeds/4500037973212279383/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=14742056&amp;postID=4500037973212279383&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14742056/posts/default/4500037973212279383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/14742056/posts/default/4500037973212279383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ndchoochoo.blogspot.com/2008/12/god-spoke-to-me-in-vision.html' title='God Spoke to me in a Vision'/><author><name>Marco</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03994172900118611723</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hMaM_A3Sd6A/SNUCn1qDOkI/AAAAAAAAAEc/u0aTgID4s1w/s1600-R/sir-topham-hatt.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
