Although in "Kerry time" a 3 hour marathon takes 4:30. So, maybe.

A "Kerry Marathon" involves setting an agressive goal, going out way too fast, crashing mid-marathon, doing a couple of shots of Jack Daniels and guzzling a 6-pack of beer to wash it down, yelling obscenities at your competitors and the crowd, puking, falling down in the gutter for 20 minutes, getting up and running the last 6 miles strong while people ask, 'Wasn't that guy facedown in the gutter like a half hour ago?' as you charge toward the finish.

Thunder would probably do okay in that event.

 

Speaking of look-alikes, could Draco Malfoy look more like the elder Manning? I mean, except that he has hair.

 

The sneer is pretty good. Needs a receding hariline. Didn't Daddyo do the photshop stuff all the time?

I wonder why the Manning hatred? It must be a college (UT or Ole Miss) thing because I can't see anyone getting worked up over a pro football team and its players. They are all glorifed mercenaries ya know.

Oct 11 and Dec 6. Those might be some good trash talk weeks.

I applaud the Manning hatred.  And of course we're talking sports hatred here which is totally different from real hatred.  I don't wish harm upon Peyton or his family (well maybe just a small injury that keeps him out when Indy plays the Pats) I just want him to fail miserably on the football field every time out.  And I want the rest of his hair to fall out.

 Interestingly I feel the same about Brady. He has the unholy trifecta going Michigan, the Patriots and Bellicheck a.k.a Darth Vader in a hoodie. I cringed when he went down last season and thought it a loss for football fans. Bad luck but I am glad he's recoverded and back. However, I applaud, cheer, and root he has a season filled with losses, interceptions, fumbles and a QB rating below the temperature in my freezer.

And yet you wonder why the Manning hatred?  Interesting.

 Fan = short for fanatic. Login need not enter the equation. You ever talk to a Yankee fan, Eagles fan, Canadien fan,.......

I could use some JD right now to dull the pain. 

Was it just me or did Jay Cutler look like he was trying to throw interceptions last night?

Looked more like he was trying to throw completions but forgot what team he's on. He had some really nice passes to the boys in green.

That NFC Norris is going to be tough this year, though (sans Detroit, of course).

Getting less tough though

MTA -- Probably karma for the cheap shots early in the game yesterday...
