I keep trying to think of the theme of Bosom Buddies and I keep ending up with the theme of the Patty Duke Show in my head. Is it a sign?
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
You have a thing for Patty Duke’s bosoms?

I don’t pay attention to football and I’m sick of Brett Favre. How do football fans feel?
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
YOU ARE LUCKY YOU DONT GO TO COLLEGE IN MINNESOTA. the only two teams people care about here (im from ND) are the vikings and packers. as a browns fan, i feel we need that opening week game soooooo bad. just so i dont have to hear everybody with the favre comments around here.
hahaha i had to rant. :) if you lived here you would understand. every conversation starts with something about favre. and he really isn’t that good anymore
who’s brett favre? fav-re? faver-e? frave?

I’m actually surprised that ESPN covered Favre so much when he wasn’t going to Boston or NY….

every vikings fan here that i know is obsessed with favre. i mean they hated him for 16 years and now it’s like nothing even happened. every talk show radio station pretty much talked sports all day when he showed up at vikings camp. there were no other stories.
I swear, I was about ready to put something through my TV’s when it just lit up with everything Favre. They showed his plane landing, they showed him getting out of the plane, I’m shocked they didn’t go so far as to show his physical….YUCK!!

There’s been a ridiculous amount of Michael Vick coverage when I’ve watched. Some Favre, but not as much as Vick. Small sample though — I only see ESPN at the gym.

If you didn’t post here, I would assume you didn’t watch ESPN because you weren’t a “sports guy”
This is Victor's home. Victor Jose, you too.
That’s essentially correct. I only follow baseball. But at the gym I like to watch highlights, web gems, etc. on Baseball Tonight or Sports Center while ellipticalling. Occasionally there’s other stuff thrown in that I’m not interested in, but I’m already positioned in front of the ESPN tv, so.

How many guys have hit homers off us in the past couple weeks with home run totals at around 5 or less? It seems like a lot.
A Travis Hafner pen-holder bobblehead? Because Travis is known for his penmanship or something?
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
Does that really look like Hafner? Has there ever been a bobble head that actually looks like the person it’s supposed to represent?

Good win. The opposite of last nights’ disappointment. Maybe LaPorta prayed for the rain to prevent Sowers from pitching the rest of the 5th.
This. That’s why last night was so frustrating. Was hoping Fausto could lead the charge. We can still have some fun though if we keep turning it over tomorrow. LGT!

Brantley had his 6th (!) homer tonight. That would be equal to all the homeruns he has hit in the 4 years previous.
Not bad for a singles hitter, eh?
