The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

It's not just Americans. Hand egg games can be found all over the "colonies." Canadians and Australians call Association Football "soccer," and the Canadians have Canadian Rules Football and the Australians have Aussie Rules Football (and they seem to call American style football "gridiron football"). The Irish have Gaelic Football (another form of "hand egg"). Rugby (another hand egg sport) was originally called "rugby football." Rugby football was imported to the US before the word "soccer" was coined, and the early American "football" games were much closer to traditional rugby. It evolved as a sport from there.

Soccer, incidentally, is a word coined in English colleges among sports players. They used to call Rugby Football "rugger." And, they nicknamed Association Football "soccer," the soc coming "asSOCiation."

The giants lost to tony homo and the cowgirls. :funny: RG3 is a ready made QB although the skins can't defend there way out of a wet paper bag. Peyton Manning shows that he is all class and will be excellent for the broncos. Andrew Luck has a way to go but is a good QB and potential franchise QB. The jets beat up on the bills again and jebus boy sucked by all accounts.

I'm loving the fact the NFL is on again. :ab: J-E-T-S JETS! JETS! JETS!

Hey, that's pretty clever.
these are things we think we know
these are feelings we might even share
these are thoughts we hide from ourselves
these are secrets we cannot lay bare.

The Patriots looked good, not that I really care about the NFL all that much.

Good news Kristie - I might be in Columbus for a Buckeyes game in two months! :)
Bad news - my wife might be coming with me. :(
