  • LMR 03 - Week 17 to the Victor Go the Spoilers
    LMR 03 - Week 17 To the Victor Go the Spoilers The end of a long regular season included some surprise endings for several clubs. Several non- playoff teams came back to bite the hands of playoff and potential playoff teams. The featured upsets were the Vikes-Cards, Browns-Bengals, Lions-Lambs, and Dallas-New Orleans matchups. Many of these teams were 4-11 or worse, and played the role of spoiler with gusto. In the case of the Browns-Bengals, it was merely the re-establishment of karma. As a result, Seattle and the Packers back into the playoffs, while Dallas must now have Carolina on its mind. The Cheeseheads have established themselves as "the team no one wants to face" in the NFC, while Baltimore is their counterpart in the AFC. The front runners remain New England and Philly with the tragic loss by St. Louis to a Detroit team that had everyone chuckling most of the year. At any rate, here's how the Look Man saw Week 17 of 2003 NFL season: Saturday Games: Buffalo @ New England: The Bills wanted to dominate the AFC Least winning Chowds to prove the 31-0 thrashing in Game One was no fluke. The storyline was a reversal of fortunes that saw the Bills in the basement and the Chowds riding a double digit win streak. The result was a punishing 31-0 Chowds win featuring 4 TD passes by QB Tom Greg Brady. Greg needs to get his picture updated, as he looks like Alfalfa from the Little Rascals in the NFL league photo below: Seattle @ Frisco: The Niners looked sharp and the Shehawks hadn't won on the road since the Truman Administration, making this game look like a battle.

Van Otterloo: "Keep the Quarterback White"! 1 Abstract Despite the prominence of professional football in U.S. culture, little research has been conducted examining the social construction of race in the game. People have a cultural perception of race; what effect does this perception have on the players? There has been research on the historical struggles of Black athletes in collegiate football, as well as lasting issues of racism. To add to this body of literature, this analysis will focus on the institutional racism embedded in the drafting practices of quarterbacks in the National Football League (NFL). This paper finds that institutional racism has a lasting effect on the hiring of Black quarterbacks in the NFL.

    Two-Time Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady Signs On As SIRIUS Satellite Radio Spokesman New England Patriots Quarterback To Promote "NFL Sunday Drive" Lineup of Live NFL Games NEW YORK - June 14, 2004 - SIRIUS (NASDAQ: SIRI), the premium satellite radio provider known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and sports programming to cars and homes across the country, today announced that two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots has signed on to promote SIRIUS' extensive lineup of NFL programming and play-by-play coverage.

    ! ! ! The$Fate$Of$The$World$Depends$On$This$Kiss$ $ You could call the musical marriage of Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland a star-crossed creative partnership. The husband and wife duo behind Whitehorse defies the math of one plus one with their inventive, expansive new album The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss and a live show that beats the band with its chemistry and complexity. With The Fate of the World, Whitehorse makes good on the promise of the their self-titled debut, which officially brought their solo careers together. They made their entrance as a band in August 2011 with an 8-song collection that played to their strengths with equal parts blues-stomp and ballad, seedy tale and sweet nothing. The album “freewheels between blues, folk and rockabilly with audible enthusiasm for experimenting with new sonic directions” with “addictively tuneful” results (Toronto Star). Their new album, The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss, out on January 8, 2013, showcases their fusion of blistering guitar work and perfectly matched vocals, as well the expanding range of creative possibility that comes as Whitehorse develops and focuses their sound. From the opening track, the psychedelic-meets-Spaghetti Western scorch of “Achilles’ Desire” to the sunset- on-water acoustic sparkler “Mismatched Eyes (Boat Song),” the clever pop of “Out Like A Lion,” and the pulp influenced suspense of "Devil’s Got A Gun,” the album covers impressive ground without compromising its artistic coherence. Whitehorse’s willingness to take risks while staying true to their “futuristic roots” vision makes for captivating listening (Now Magazine).
