Is This NFL Season Interesting?
- I would argue that the NFL season's only interesting as long as the Patriots keep winning because it is a foregone conclusion they are gong to win the Super Bowl. The only question is whether they are going to go undefeated during the regular season, which I still say they are (and I still say if they lose it will be to the Steelers).
- Cowboys-Packers tonight is interesting if you really think the Packers can beat the Cowboys in the playoffs. Even if the Pack wins tonight and gets home filed I don't see them winning the NFC title game. They have no running game and you can't win in Green Bay in January without the run, even if you are the home team.
- Watching the Raptors this season is going to be a huge exercise in patience for me. Bosh is going to miss the odd game do to injury and they don't have enough around him to beat top teams. They will still win most games with him out against teams like Philly and Milwaukee. Enough to get them to the 5th or 6th playoff seed anyway.
- The Celtics are off to a great start but I still don't see them as a contender. There is no way in hell they can beat the Spurs, Mavs or Suns. I'm not even sure they could beat Utah or Houston. They have no bench at all.
- Does anyone not think Johan Santana will end up in Yankee pinstripes sooner rather than later?
- I think I can actually support Dalton's new dental plan for the working poor. It's pretty hard to move up in the employment ranks if you are going to job interviews with brown teeth sticking out everywhere.
- Happy Birthdays today to the vastly underrated Don Cheadle (43) and the criminally underrated Joel Coen (53).

If the Colts are healthy they'll give the Patriots a run in Foxborough. That game would be played in mid January and in bad weather, even if it's just cold, they won't be blowing anybody out, especially if the Colts or Steelers are healthy.
A dental plan for the working poor sounds great but where does it end? It's not easy to move up if you've got visible tattoos, scars or dirty fingernails either but are taxpayers going to shell out for ink removal and manicures? Eventually personal responsibility has to enter the equation. I'm curious to hear the Hammer's take on this...
I said I supproted Dalton's plan very tongue in cheek. I don't actually support it. Liek most socialist ideas it sounds nice in theory but could never work.
Along with the minimum wage increase, this is just more unnecessary, statist interference to absolve people from their own poor choices in life and the attendant consequences that come with.
Forget about why I should have to pay ... ask yourself why the small business owner who has no benefit plan of his own but takes risks each and every day, creating wealth and employment within society, why HE should have to pay. To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever died from a cavity but according to Dalton and his Trudeaupian brand of lowest common denominator retail politics, to oppose such a measure is cruel or even worse, American.
