Extraordinarily dumb


The Giants played the Dolphins at Wembley today. It rained, the ball was wet, the grass was wet. It happens. At half time the experts opined that the relative shortness of the grass was a problem and offered the following insight.


"Over there they make the field for 165 pound soccer players like Beckham. These two teams have over 30 guys weighing more than 300 pounds."


Why didn't I think of that. For any who missed it the Giants won 13-10.

Excellent guest contribution from Randy Levine!!

Randy offers this exquisite snippet from the world's leading exporter of democracy........

Dolphins LB Channing Crowder, who appears likely to start in the middle Sunday against the Giants with Zach Thomas ailing, says he didn't know until Tuesday that people in London speak English.
"I couldn’t find London on a map if they didn’t have the names of the countries," he said. "I swear to God. I don’t know what nothing is. I know Italy looks like a boot. I know London Fletcher. We did a football camp together. So I know him. That’s the closest thing I know to London. He’s black, so I’m sure he’s not from London. I’m sure that’s a coincidental name."
