Gimme a ******* break.  "You can only give it to a guy so many times"?  You mean the guy who scored 7 touchdowns in the preceding two weeks?  A goalline stand by a D that prevents a running back from scoring invalidates any attempts for the rest of the game?  Shake yer head.  I'm happy you won your games in other leagues, but honestly, do you think your logic stands up in the real world?  Go look at a game on tv and see your conclusion fail miserably.  Inability to score?  Sure, ok.   

Um...it was a joke Brent.   

On a serious note, they did give it to him at the 2 and I was surprised he didn't get it again at the 1, but the clock was running down and I don't think they wanted to risk a running play.  They never got that close again int he 3rd and didn't need to wear him out playing him in the 4th quarter.  It sucks, but it happens I guess.  Maybe the coaching staff figured he had gotten more than his share of the action the last few weeks and wanted to get other players involved?  Or maaaaybe it was just my mojo hex on him that ruined his luck for the week. 

It would have been had the Eagles ever bothered to hand the ball off tonight...

Even when they were up the entire game they still had Donovan throwing picks. With as many trips to the RZ as Philly had I still can't believe they didn't give it to him at all.

What are you talking about?  They gave it to Westbrook at the 2 yard line and he couldn't get it in - you can only give a guy so many chances.  I had two games riding on Westbrook NOT scoring, so thanks to his inability to score, I'm playing in three Superbowl games this week.  Woohoo!

I won't miss KB Toys given that they've been extinct in Minnesota for years now.  What I do miss in general though is a toy shop somewhere at the mall.  I don't get how stores that sell just magnets or ties or socks seem to be able to make it, but a toy store can't?  I think they should have just relaunched the stores instead of closing the doors, but oh well.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine action figures

Spoilers ahead.

I like the 3 3/4 scale, and I like to see these in that scale. I haven't bought Marvel toys for ages now, so isn't that scale dead after this year, and Hasbro moving to 3 3/4"?

I'm not sure that it's officially dead, but does look they're going full court press on the smaller size stuff, what with movie tie-ins and all.  I like the scale, but not really into any of these characters.

I think it was just Monday into Tuesday morning.  A few inches maybe?  I don't keep track because all the weathermen do is lie to me.   

My parcel was waiting for me today.
Thanks Santa
