Beware of Deware...
Bill Simmons: NFL playoff picks, Round 2 - ESPN
The Paul Aufiero Award for "Most Devoted Fan"
During Saturday night's game, NBC panned to the stands and showed a Cowboys fan holding the following sign:
"HEY DONOVAN: BEWARE OF DEWARE OR YOU'RE GONNA GET MCNABBED FROM BEHIND."
The Russian Running Away From Paulie and Christopher Into the Woods Award for "Most Fascinating Subplot of Round 1 That Had Nothing to Do With Anything"
News broke Friday that Seattle was hiring Pete Carroll, followed by the team's embarrassing, semi-frantic search to interview a black candidate so they obeyed the NFL's meaningless Rooney Rule before actually hiring Carroll … a guy the team was widely reported to have already hired. This led to Minnesota's Leslie Frazier getting interviewed so he could have a chance at a job he didn't have a chance at getting, followed by Carroll getting hired and the NFL doing backflips when Mark McGwire blew him off the sports pages the next day.
First of all, for all the great things the Rooney family did, their legacy will end up having the dumbest rule in sports named after them. Second, the next time this happens, why wouldn't every minority candidate band together and boycott the interview of the offending team? Isn't that the only way things will change? Third, what would be the real-life equivalent of the Rooney Rule? Getting engaged, then telling your fiancée, "Don't tell anyone about the ring yet, I'm going on a date with an African-American in my office this weekend to satisfy our company's Rooney Rule requirements?" The whole thing was phenomenally insulting. Either enforce the Rooney Rule or abolish it.
Just too funny not to share.

The Pen Addict: Review: Zebra Sarasa Clip 0.4mm Blue Black
Review: Zebra Sarasa Clip 0.4mm Blue Black
Seeing this exact Zebra Sarasa Clip 0.4mm blue black gel ink pen kick of the Top 10 of 2009 series at Good Pens jarred my memory enough to realize I had one sitting in my backpack just waiting to be reviewed. I've gone on record in the past about how much I like the Sarasa Clip line of pens, so putting this blue black model into heavy rotation was a no-brainer.
As the risk of redundancy, I'll repeat myself again: this is an excellent pen. One of the best bangs for the buck going in the pen market. There is one issue though. The Clip version of the Sarasa is not readily found on office supply store shelves, at least that I have seen. The regular Sarasa models are everywhere, but not the Clip, and there is a definite difference in the way they perform. The Clip seems to lay down that clean, crisp line that I like. The regular Sarasa is just that - regular. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine pen, it's just not the Clip.
The blue black ink is another thing I have been gravitating to more and more these days as well. I still predominantly use black ink, but I think blue black has eclipsed standard blue as my number #2. It is available in all of my favorite pens, and I just enjoy writing more when I use it. And that is what it is all about.

If you have to order 1 pen (in the cheaper pens section) from Jetpens, this is exactly what you should get. Blue black, 0.4mm, gel ink, with the clip. Currently my favorite pen.

Patrick Willis ALMOST unanimous All-Pro
For setting the league mark for yards from scrimmage and becoming the sixth 2,000-yard rusher in NFL history, Johnson got all 50 votes from a nationwide panel of sportswriters. One other player, San Francisco inside linebacker Patrick Willis, came close with, appropriately, 49.
Go P-Willie !!!
