Congratulations, Jerry Rice

The Greatest Wide receiver in the History of football (And quite possibly the greatest player at any position) is now a member of the NFL Hall of Fame.

When fans argue about the greatest quarterback, a case can be made for Montana, for Elway, for Unitas, Marino, etc.

When fans discuss the NFL's greatest linebacker, arguments can be made to support Butkus, Nitschke, Lewis, Singletary, etc.

But when the topic turns to receivers, the discussion begins and ends with Jerry Rice. And there is not a close second.

Check out a few of Rice's records:



197 Touchdown Receptions

(Second Place: Chris Carter with 130)




208 total Touchdowns.

(Second Place: Emmet Smith with 175)




1,549 Receptions.

(second Place: Chris Carter with 1,101)




22,895 Receiving Yards

(Second Place: Tim Brown with 14,934)


23,540 Total Yards From Scrimmage

(Second Place: Emmet Smith with 21,579)


17 Seasons with 50 or More Receptions.

(Second Place: Andre Reed with 13)




76 Games with 100 or more Receiving Yards.

(Second Place: Marvin Harrison with 59)

You get the idea.



Congratulations, Jerry Rice.

Tom Tancredo and the Teabaggers

Tom Tancredo, last seen being schooled by Markos Moulitsas, (link)
is one of the major, super-important speakers at the completely not-irrelevant, not racist paranoia festival of tebagging being held in Nashville this week. And here's his big applause line:

TANCREDO: “And then, something really odd happened, mostly because I think that we do not have a civics literacy test before people can vote in this country. People who could not even spell the word “vote,” or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House, name is Barack Hussein Obama.”

Now, that's stupid on a lot of levels, but what jumps out at me is, here is a group of teabaggers applauding angrily (because everything they do, they do angrily) at the idea of people who are poor spellers being allowed to vote. Teabaggers. The Teabaggers would like a spelling test at polling stations? Be careful what you wish for, teabaggers.

This "Mavrick" sure hates "Socialest"

I think this guy misspelled his favorite word!

“Not Raciest.” Nope, I've seen way racier than you!

"Busines"


Hey, give the immigrants a break.
It's hard to learn a new "Lanaguage."




I'm guessing the "Stimuluse" bill isn't the only thing he hasn't read!

Half-breed. Half Man, Half Fabric!



It's "Offical." This lady doesn't pass the voting test.



Are you sure it's not "TO" late already?
Do you realize you spelled that word wrong "TO" times?



A "Natzy?"
No, you probably are not a "Natzy."
Point taken.



So would that be a Patriotic resistance?
Or a Patriotic Renaissance?

Oh, Gawd I hope this is a true story!

The craziest ad I've ever seen

What the hell, California? I'm gone for four years and you've fallen completely apart. You're bankrupt, you re-elected a washed up b-grade actor as governor, You lost Pete Carroll, and now you're treating Carly Fiorina as a serious candidate for the Senate?

The same Carly Fiorina whose chief claim to fame is that she did such a bang-up job running Hewlett-Packard that the board demanded her resignation after 6 years?

The same Carly Fiorina that hired private investigators to spy on HP executives?

The same Carly Fiorina who Portfolio Magazine listed as one of the 20 Worst American CEO's of all Time?

That Carly Fiorina? The one who was John McCain's senior financial advisor? That one?

Look at this ad Ms. Fiorina is running on the interwebs:




It's kind of long for a campaign ad, but it's worth watching through to the end. It is without a doubt the most bizarre ad I have ever seen for a political candidate.
Apparently it has something to do with sheep vs. pigs (sheep are the good guys, I think) aith weird religious overtones. The bad sheep is knocked off his pedestal by a bolt of lightning, and scary devil music plays behind most of the ad. The voice-over guy is the epitome of moral outrage. He might as well be yelling "You, Tom Campbell (the bad sheep) You have done this! You have angered the gods with your fiscal impurity! You have brought this curse down upon us! Come, let us cast lots to see whom we will burn at the stake!"

My favorite part is when the voice-over guy talks about the wolf in sheep's clothing. They make no effort to disguise the fact that what they are showing onscreen is actually a human man in a sheep outfit. He's wearing wingtips, for God's sake!

Also, the bad sheep has glowing red eyes. So I guess he's the sheep devil or something. Anyway, all in all, this is the weirdest ad I have ever seen that didn't come from Japan.
