Thanks, SD, ever since VO mentioned “the proper alchemy” for creativity I’ve decided on a two drink minimum before posting. I forgot about FLU’s asian wife, that rules out Maria, Courtney and Diana. It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s a female, the drinks are still on me. Come to think of it, that may be my epitaph.

I’m with you on the importance of today’s game, the way to beat Vince Young and the Titans has been clearly demonstrated this season. If Norv and Ted mismanage this game I will be beyond frustrated, especially since Spanos says Norv will be back next year no matter what. I never really understood what it was like to live in Cuba or to be a Raider fan, to know the owner/president was completely nuts and would never go away until this season. It’s like Spanos is under an evil spell, that every person in the country knows A.J., Norv and Ted are a disaster but spanos has those swirling cartoon eyes because he’s hypnotized. I’ve figured it out though. I was at Mortons steakhouse and I was peeking in all the glass doors of the wine lockers in the lobby. I was spotting 1971 Staggs leaps, some mid 80’s Moutons and just salivating over the collections like I was in a card shop looking at a Babe ruth rookie card. Then I find the locker with Spanos’ name on it. Every bottle was from the same winery, his winery with his name on it. Then I understood the blind faith he has in his own decisions. He probably has sex dreams about his own wife. I think when it’s over and done with it’s going to have a scooby doo ending, we will find out that there is a hypnotic drug in the spanos label wine that is put there by A.J. who is working for Dr. Evil who wants to run down the price of the team so he can buy it and move it to L.A.

Other than that I can think of no better theory, so I’m going with that one.
