Still sucks to be them. Come on Caleb.

I owe him at least this much.

I've given Roy his fair share of shit - and deservedly so - from the moment he arrived in Detroit as a heralded, mouthy, do-nothing asscastle. A typical Millen squandering of a high draft pick, a prototypical Detroit Lie-Down epitomizing their early enthusiasm/abject disillusion pattern on a weekly basis. He was coveted and targeted by Jerry Jones, one of the biggest boobs ever to be worth a billion or so dollars. How people from Texas keep defying those odds will never cease to worry and impress me. Anyway, Roy's tenures with Detroit and Dallas, two of my least favorite sports franchises were disastrous and barely eventful.

Failure. Thy name is Roy Williams. I remember your first game at Soldier Field when you did your queer first-down signal after a first quarter reception underneath the watchful coverage of my favorite player, Charles Tillman. I watched as he shook his head while your teammates laughed and after you beat him for a touchdown that would have tied the early score - your kicker's extra=point try was blocked - you talked your way back to the sideline with a bluster unbecoming of rookie receivers going against the Bears in that place even in the leanest of years. We thrashed you. Our defense, our crowd-noise - it was after that game that Lovie (probably at the behest of his colleagues in the p.r. dept) coined the term Fourth Phase to describe the Soldier Field faithful. Mike Brown and Brian Urlacher and Tommie Harris and P'Nut himself - there's just no end to it. They took turns punishing your teammates en route to a blowout made more infamous by your idiotic statement that your offense had left 40 points on the field.

It's stupid how well I remember all of that. I might actually be morphing two different early-season ass-thrashings of Detroit. But what's the harm in that?

Well, I also recall a far darker day at Soldier Field, with the villain being Brian Griese as quarterback for the Bucs. The very same Brian Griese (fuck you) who had sealed the fate of the 2007 Bears by losing twice (TWICE!!!11) to the fucking Lions in his brief stint as Bears quarterback. His elevation to starter kept the Bears from getting another look at Kyle Orton. And the tacit cries of "start Kyle Orton" took flight from the cornfields of Bugtussle yet Lovie and Ron Turner paid little heed. At first. He was replaced only after the two losses to Detroit - or was it merely and injury in Oakland against the Raiders? Fuck it. It was stupid. And it caused me to hate Brian Griese with the fire of a thousand Matt Murton-inspired merkins.  

Griese made his return to Chicago as the quarterback of the Bucs on September 22, 2008. Before the game I infamously posted on these same interwebs that if the Bears lost to Brian Griese, I would run naked through Grant Park with "FUCK DALEY" painted on my ass.

QuoteSay one thing for Cubs manager Mike Quade: Whether you write something he likes or doesn't like and whether he makes a decision that works or doesn't, he doesn't shy away from the give-and-take sparring sessions with the media every day. All seemed fine this morning with Starlin Castro, who said he understood that his manager was trying to nip things in the bud, even if the method of delivery raised some eyebrows.

Quade was asked about Wednesday's criticism of Castro and second baseman Darwin Barney this morning.

"Was this just Starlin?" asked Q, referring to that now infamous fallen pop fly the other day. "Didn't it involve our second baseman? It's funny how it's gravitated in that direction. I'll bet these two have it worked out the next time it happens. And that's the important thing. And that's all that really matters. The premium that goes with defense at those two positions is the main thing. They'll work it out, and they'll get better. And they need to."

Castro said Quade was right in talking to him and Barney.

"I didn't see the ball," he said. "The ball went up, and I called it, but when the ball came back, I lost it."

The lesson?

"Don't say 'I got it,'" Castro said. "If you don't have it, don't say, 'I got it.' Say, 'I don't see it.'"

Showtime: Sunday nights

I watched the first two hours last night. I really hope that this show becomes awesome because there is enough historical subject-matter to make a really interesting show. I thought the Tudors was one of the most boring shows I've ever seen because I already knew the story of Henry 8, knew I hated him, thought that snarly lipped dude was miscast as him and just hated the fucking show.

This story, I don't know so well, and I find it fascinating. Buying the Papacy and treating it like the fucking mob.

So in the first hour a lot of Cardinals got asshurt, a few people got killed, a few tiny breasts were exposed on some beautiful, but pale women. And I could give a shit about any of the characters so far. We're going to need to get deeper into these people's lives and psyches for any of this to hold up. Not stilted dialogue and great misgivings about all throats and sluts getting gashed all over the place and Gord will forgive us (wink). But actual people feeling like shit or not for all this vile stuff they be doin'.

Gonna give it one or two more episodes and then see what's what.

Grade: Incomplete

Does anyone here still smoke it?

Does anyone here still talk about it?

Fuck you.

I'm going to give this a watch tonight. And flog it. I'll let you know if it is any good.

This is a re-deux of a famous BBC show about some slummy-ass white people. This one's set in Chicago and stars William H. Macy as the drunk, dumbass dad. I didn't want to like this show because I saw the British version and really enjoyed it, but it's a tough watch. There's some truly wretched shit going on in these people's lives and most of them are just kids. You wonder how they're going to make it.

Somehow, they do. They know their lives are dismal but they manage, they get by. They have fun sometimes.

Showtime, Sundays. Check it out or don't.

Funny ass line though:

"Nice Muslim. He cheats on his fundamentalist wife with a gutless gay-boy... Says more about White Sox fans than it does anybody else."

I lol'd.
