Mood Music - I Can See For Miles by The Who

Words from other people today:

CC Backs the Offseason
"We’re going to try to win a championship. That’s always our goal and it’s a realistic goal. We made some great moves. Our team was good [last year], but they made it even better."

A-Rod Supports the Revolving Door
"I think a lot of us at some point or another, in such a long season, are going to occupy that spot. But, for me, I'm really excited about playing third base."

A Last Thank You From Gene Monahan
"I knew in my heart, someday, no matter where I grew up or where I'd be, I wanted to be somewhere involved with this game that I loved and cherish so much. And somehow, it worked out."

Posada on the Cusp of Official Retirement
"I’m going to get together with people in the next couple of weeks. I want to make that [retirement] day overwhelming."

Jorge Vazquez Could Be an Option at DH
"Chato hit bombs."

here's an odd little fact for you

Kyle Williams – the poor SOB who cost San Francisco the game last night – is the son of White Sox GM Kenny Williams.

well, seeing how the White Sox have fared recently, I think its safe to say ‘like father like son’

I wish I still had the message, but at approximately 8:15 pm EST last night, Duggan foresaw the Kyle Williams fumble. It may have something to do with history repeating itself, but it was still pretty funny that it 1. actually happened and 2. cost them the game.

doesn't it go to ASU?

Williams apparently has done this before, so I think it would know.

Oh yeah. The lingering fail of ASU football is not hard to predict.

Not anymore, that dork is going to the NFL (lol). Maybe we can replace him with someone named Eddie.

Yeah, that’s what I meant about the history repeating. It was not Kyle Williams’ first go round with failure.

greatest gif ever

Never seen a kicker that excited.

by long time listener on Jan 23, 2012 12:25 PM EST up reply actions

He was just the holder, wasn't he?

Romine!

by david d on Jan 23, 2012 1:09 PM EST up reply actions

he's the punter

Kicker, punter, same deal.

he's also a former Jet

and he got to the conference championship in the AFC the past two years. But of course in the third, for the NY Football Giants, he actually gets in the SB. So that’s also why he was so excited.

And he made an incredible play on the hold to set up the FG. Was a bad snap and someone with a smaller set of balls (***cough, Tony Romo…), fumbles the snap and screws it all up.

that's an underrated part of that play

It was a lousy snap, and Weatherford turned into a perfect hold. Romo would’ve Romo’d it.

Made up for his two crappy punts in the fourth quarter

But yes, he gets major credit for saving that play.

by waw on Jan 23, 2012 3:05 PM EST up reply actions

he didn't have a bad game

I remember one pretty lousy punt, but he average over 46 yards per punt and put two inside the 20. That’s not a bad day. Let’s hope he doesn’t have 12 punts against the Pats though.
