I’m not a huge fan of football, but I do enjoy watching the occasional game. As a result, I’ve heard of but never thought to get into fantasy football. And since no one ever took me aside to explain ti to me, I decided to do some research and see if I could find some easy instructions for someone with no experience.

I knew this was coming, but there was a small part of me that was hoping they would find a way to work it out. I’m not saying Tiger should be excused or that Elin should have outright stayed, but when something like this happens, it’s just sad to watch it all fall apart.

I find this a little interesting. There was a Greek Orthodox church destroyed in the terrorist attacks on 9/11 that city officials recently announced would not be rebuilt. Now, here’s the interesting correlation. There’s a Muslim mosque that is in debate, but the church is rejected outright. If we’re going to be fair, then dismiss all the proposals like this or let them all enter into a debate.

My wife saw her first Jaws movie last night. She’s never seen the original Jaws, but I’ve seen them all, so I knew what to expect from this first sequel. I used that to my advantage. When the shark was getting ready to make a surprise appearance, I made it a point to have my arm around her and squeeze when the shark appeared. The screams she let out were hilarious.

Is anyone really surprised? I’m not a Vikings fan nor have I been a fan of any team Favre’s played for, but this whole soap opera that goes on every off season is bordering on insane. And if that isn’t enough, he’s getting a hefty raise. Statistically he is capable of playing, but commit to a decision when the season is over please.

Some people marvel that Twitter has not only survived but flourished since it debuted four years ago. I’m not surprised. Once I saw how businesses can use this as a tool to communicate with customers, I knew this fad would last longer than most.

Some people believe that Mount Rushmore needs to be updated. A lot of people feel that Ronald Reagan belongs on that mountain with the other four. I personally think that the monument should be left alone. Adding anyone at this point would be more out of political posturing rather than objective appraisal of the person’s overall effectiveness.

If you watch Bear Grylls on the Discovery Channel, then you know how he has made himself a star by surviving in harsh environments with unusual items Macguyver style. Well, in this current season, Bear had to be airlifted after a camera sled slammed into his leg. Not the type of hazard he’s used to having to worry about.

I don’t usually pay attention to fashion magazines or anything that is a fadish industry such as fashion, but this one is good. Vogue is coming out with a photo spread that takes its inspiration from the Gulf oil spill. I like the idea of making a visual statement concerning this topic, especially since the situation was handled so poorly initially.

Don’t ever let your parents say that nothing good can come from video games. According to the Entertainment Software Association, the video game industry has added almost $5 billion to the U.S. economy. That’s 5,000,000,000 dollars. I don’t know if you can wrap your head around big numbers, but that’s a decent contribution to an economy desperately trying to get back on its feet.
