"All decisions are the result of binary thinking."

Good luck next weekend.

Your revitalized Redskins are on a roll, but you've drawn the Seahawks
in the first playoff round. Seattle lost one game at home all season,
(and just barely). It should be an interesting matchup. We learned
yesterday that Seattle's second string can't even beat the 2-13
Falcons, so if the starters don't show up in good health and with
their "A" game on your team could add at least one more game to the
micaculous run with which they ended the regular season.

My brother's wanting me to fly out and watch the game with him. Says he'll
feed me dinner and buy all the beer. Of course, he knows I don't drink.

Miraculous is definitely the right word. We're all wondering where the hell
the team has been hiding. Hopefully, the weather will be very wet and cold.
The 'Skins like that.

Let me know if you come to town, we'll go for a boat ride. :-)

Wet and cold won't favor either team. Did you know the 'Hawks practice
with a wet football? They dunk it into a garbage can filled with water
before every practice snap. More accurately replicates the usual
playing conditions.

You're probably right, but I think the crap weather helped the 'skins
against Dallas.

A lot of teams do that if the weather is going to be questionable.

People don't realise this, but the problem with throwing a wet weather
football isn't the grip - it's the weight. American footballs are
made with a special patented Chemical process called Grip-Tite and
grip is further enhanced by the special pebbling process used when the
leather is tanned and formed. Under certain conditions, an American
football can gain as much as 6 ounces of weight.

Which is not to say that wet, cold footballs don't have gripping
problems, but the main problem is the variable weight.

Damn, I learn something new every day!

Harry is shifting into his pre-election mode.

He'll return to normal after Huckabee is elected.
