To All: In the area of Neophysics.
In my college days in between assaults that I made on my liver, my friends and I were to make the discovery of a phenomenom we called 'Massless Weights' These are large weights of varying size that exist in the universe. They tend to settle in your backpack on a long hike, on your body after a holiday season, or in an object you are trying to lift to impress a girl friend.
We worked out the mathematics of the weights and their various effects. Some of the classical physic students around attempted to discredit our work but this was clearly professional jealousy and after changing our data to fit our theory we felt we had clearly debunked their claims.
All the Best

Well, I fear that America's Team is likely to change to a harsher regimen next year. Which will be better for them. Whether it can redefine itself and bring in enough talent remains to be seen. But clearly what separates them from the no special talent Jets is desire. As the games get bigger, talent will begin to matter though. Parcels almost made it with the Patsies and I think they had more talent than the current Jets.

You grew up in NJ and became a Cowboys fan?! Why, growing up in CT, I used to slog miles in the snow walking to Giants games at the Yale Bowl (while they were building the Meadowlands)-- no hat, no gloves, tattered boots, and vinyl jacket-- just so I could brush off a few seats as an usher for quarters and see the games for free. And during those two seasons the seats were filled to capacity and the Giants didn't win a single game. All the while I never missed a minute of the action.

OK, so I lost three toes to frostbite. OK, so I broke a few fingers and my nose breaking up a few fights. OK, so I have bladder problems from holding it in all game for fear of losing my seat if I got up. It didn't matter. For I was a true Giant fan. My friends who grew up rooting for the Cowboys, Steelers and Dolphins-- the ones with those silly Superbowl jackets, hats and t-shirts-- morons, every last one of them.
