Frankly, I'm tired of all the folks greeting Christmas with "bah, humbug!" We get it, you're misanthropic SOBs; I'll talk to you after New Years, OK?
Also, I'm too drunk to respond to your football post right now, but consider this a Christmas present (it was certainly one of the best things I ever found under my tree, and you can get it cheap on Amazon, IIRC, which I'm sure Ben would appreciate):
"The Hidden Game of Football"

"The Hidden Game of Football"
Did I make a football post? Anyway, I was given that book by my godfather one year, and more than any other single book, it has been the greatest factor in my development as a fan. I still recall their argument in favor of going for it on fourth down in goal line situations - "If your defense can't stop the other team from going 99 yards up the field, 3 points are not going to do you much good anyway." I also recall the way they broke down the passer rating system to clarify how it is formulated, among other things.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town sounds like every totalitarian regime in history.

George Bush or George Dub-ya Bush doesn't fit. But Barack Obama, on the other hand...

Okay. I was drunk when posting. Four-syllable names work well, too.

I'm never sure if you're serious, trolling or just looking for things to get you pissed.

I'm not sure how much a kid could appreciate the trauma.

It always bugs me during a game when I see a guy who's playing good but his rating drops from a pick

Yeah, I know that feeling; I wish they'd factor in the field position change.
