which team has the most footvols?

this is how i choose who to root for when the titans aren't in the souper joel. the verdict:

the san fransisco 49ers : zero footvols
the baltimore ravens : one footvol

not great in either case, but there is a clear winner. that's two points in the ravens' column so far!

the more you know:
this year, tennessee tied the record for having the most former players in the pro bowl at six. (the other teams that tied don't warrant mentioning. you've probably never even heard of them.)

they are some of our favorites: eric berry, dustin colquitt, arian foster, peyton manning, jerod mayo, and jason witten.

with the exception of pey pey, all of these guys played at UT when i was a student. those were our salad days...

"I noticed, like, legs and a hand print"


This lady in Florida found a cute little pink froggy friend in her salad bag that she bought from Walmart. Isn't that fun? via

Walmart says: "Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This fails to meet our high standards of quality food at every level."

Jon Cryer

Happy Tuesday. I've been thinking about how much it must be so frustrating to be Jon Cryer these days. He's made a modest comeback, stacking his 2 and a half men chips, and Sheen blows it for him.

here he is in his salad days.

I've really been wanting to use the phrase "those were our salad days" but i wasn't sure i was gonna do it right. soooooo i googled it. now I know.


"Salad days" is an idiomatic expression, referring to a youthful time, accompanied by the
inexperience, enthusiasm, idealism, innocence, or indiscretion that one associates with a
young person. More modern use, especially in the United States, refers to a person's heyday
when somebody was at the peak of his/her abilities—not necessarily in that person's youth.

History


The phrase was coined in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra in 1606. In the speech at the
end of Act One in which Cleopatra is regretting her youthful dalliances with Julius Caesar she
says:

"...My salad days, / When I was green in judgment, cold in blood..."

The phrase became popular only from the middle of the 19th century, coming to mean “a
period of youthful inexperience or indiscretion." The metaphor comes from Cleopatra's use of
the word 'green' — presumably meaning someone youthful, inexperienced, or immature.
