Re: FOA 09 MEDIA: Chicago, Indy

Really good interview at 18to88. The last question was basically delicious.

Chicago Link is Borked

Chicago link is borked. There's a ' target =' at the end of it. If you remove that, it goes to the page.

-4. As it should be.

All hail ROBO-PUNTER.

I disagree with Mike's categorisation of Brady. I think Brady's most impressive seasons have been the ones since his last superbowl win, and 2005 and 2006 far more than the record-setting 2007. For those two years Brady dragged otherwise mediocre teams, with bad defenses and indifferent supporting talent on offense (especially at receiver in 2006) into contention. To my mind, that's far more impressive than winning a Superbowl or few off the back of your defense, or throwing 50 touchdowns to Randy Moss and some others. Those seasons belonged to the career of a Tarkenton or Elway (without the scrambling), not a Bradshaw.

Also, I feel one further category of undead is required: Christopher Lee. As many readers will know, the dude has been not only a vampire (of the sort who abducts and sucks dry topless posh birds on an industrial scale) but Frankenstein's monster, the Marquis de Sade, a Sith lord, an evil demi-god/wizard and a Bond villain. What some may not know is that he was also in the SAS. In World War II. The story goes that when they came to film Saruman's death scene, he had the following conversation with Peter Jackson:

- Do you know what sound it makes when you cut a man's throat?

- Uh . . . no.

- Ah. I do.

Peter Cushing's dead. It's possible that Brian's some relation. He may be safe, but no-one else is.
