Free the Plastic Man!

[The Associated Press
SARASOTA, Fla. — Lego man is going to stay in police custody for three months.
Lego man, a 100-pound, 8-foot-tall sculpture, didn't do anything wrong except wash up on a Florida beach. Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight says his office will hold the fiberglass sculpture for 90 days just like all other lost and found property.
During that time, authorities will try to determine who the owner is.
The Sarasota Herald-Tribune (http://bit.ly/uExBYk) reported that the local tourism bureau had hoped to use the Lego man to promote the area, but the sheriff says it needs to remain in police custody a little longer.]

I Want Charley Weis' Head on a Pike
At midfield. In the Swamp. Right in the center of the Gator logo.
Where did he get his reputation as an offensive genius from? From riding Bill Bellichek's and Brady's coat tails.
Great Al Davis' ghost, with a QB coming back from an ankle injury, why on earth would you try to run a spread offense with no one to block/protect John Brantley from certain doom?
Whereof did the papers in preseason report Florida would use an I formation and eschew the spread? The one time yesterday Brantley did take a snap under center, he bobbled it and Gators lost a yard on 3rd and 1.
Even the pre-game announcers as well as Weiss forgot they have Michael Gilleslie at running back on the roster, all he does--gaining 5-7 yards per carry up the middle.
The FL defense got gashed by a running attack led by a fullback through the hole.
Would it amount to too much for Buddha Weis to learn by observation?
>On what planet does a coach stay in the press box at half time to draw up his opening offensive drive?
Why, did the press buffet look too good to pass by at the half?
Yes, that worked well, Charley; they made adjustments and you did not.
Of course, rationally we cannot blame Chucky for left tackle Xavier Nixon playing his way into un-drafted free agent status, giving up4 or 6 sacks.
Wait, yes, I do blame Chunky; even I, punt return team in high school, have seen enough football in my 53 years to know if it ain't working, give the kid some help with a tight end or back to block.
Yelling "Look Out!" while getting hurdled like a turnstile does NOT protect your quarterback.
And Gators on defense, you gots to play 60 minutes in a game not 55 unless you want to emulate the Denver Dolphins.
Miami Dolphins you say? Did not look like that last Sunday.
Charley, wave your world championship rings at the opponent next time. That'll do as well as your predictable game plan, you execrable cretin.
[The author, Daniel Allen Cubs Gators Dolphins Fan Hill, would like to apologize to anyone who looks in any way, shape or form like Charles Weis. As one who walks with a non-standard gait subsequent to spinal injury, it does not often fall to me to criticize humans for physical traits. Taste my oaken cane of indignation if you make fun of me and spit out your teeth like chicklets, damn youse.
Nevertheless, still waiting to see Chuck Weis's offensive genius displayed as university of Florida offensive coordinator.]
Of course, we cannot blame Big Belly, some say, trying to run his system with Pope Urban's players. Bull hockey, Dad, dude failed at Notre Dame, failed as offensive coordinator in pros after, a colossal failure of Brobdingnagian proportions.
How did such a huge, literally and figuratively, failure get a reputation as a genius?
I'd say fry the fat bastard except for it would take the electric power of the whole Eastern seaboard.
When do pitchers and catchers report?

One World, from Tahrir Square to Wall Street to Oakland
[Demonstrators marched on Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Friday, in a protest against the continuing military rule of their country and the perpetual state of emergency their government has maintained since 1958.
But there was another item on their agenda today: the recent violence in Oakland, California.
In the photos below, taken by Egyptian journalist Mohammed Maree and published on Twitter, demonstrators hold up signs showing solidarity with “Occupy Oakland,” urging President Barack Obama to intervene on behalf of the people...]

"Which Side Are You On?"
Copied from notes for second song: "In the mountains of Kentucky in 1931, the coal miners of Harlan County went on strike. Officers hired by the mining company roamed the countryside hunting for the union leaders. The independent coal miners fought back gallantly against the hired company deputies and blood was spilled on both sides. "Which Side Are You On," was written by Florence Reece, the wife of Sam Reece, a union leader who had escaped into the Kentucky mountains for safety. Class warfare continues in the United States and in most nations throughout the world. Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, and Millard Lampell of the Almanac Singers made this song famous in 1941."
"How Can You Sleep at Night?"
Welcome back to A-Merry-Ca, soldier, in which past decades have seen increasing adoption of military tactics by civilian police: use of overwhelming force, automatic weapons, and shock and awe inherent in use of flash bang grenades againssst peaceful protesters.

Regularly Scheduled Outrage Resumes Tomorrow; Scott Olsen in stable condition
[Scott Olsen, the Iraq war veteran who suffered serious head injuries after being hit by a projectile fired by police during the Occupy Oakland protests, has woken up and is lucid as he awaits surgery, hospital officials and family members have said.
Olsen, a 24-year-old former US Marine, was struck in the head during anti-Wall Street protests on Tuesday night. He has been upgraded from critical to fair condition.
Olsen "responded with a very large smile" to a visit from his parents, Highland General hospital spokesman Warren Lyons said. "He's able to understand what's going on. He's able to write and hear but has a little difficulty with his speech," Lyons said.]

[OAKLAND -- Scott Olsen, a 24-year-old Marine who served two tours of duty in Iraq, stood calmly in front of a police line as tear gas canisters that officers shot into the Occupy Oakland protest Tuesday night whizzed past his head.
"He was standing perfectly still, provoking no one," said Raleigh Latham, an Oakland filmmaker shooting footage of the confrontation between police and hundreds of protesters at 14th Street and Broadway. "If something didn't hit him directly in the face, then it went off close to his head and knocked him down."
The something was a projectile that apparently came from police lines, fractured Olsen's skull and put him in Highland General Hospital. Doctors upgraded his condition Thursday from critical to fair, and said they expect him to make a full recovery.]

Yay! Chuck Moved to Friday on NBC
Yes, my life revolves around sports, sports on television, and my favorite show, often shows with strong female characters like Yvonne Strahovsky playing Sarah the smoking hot spy who loves the nebbish Chuck.
Or like Amanda Blake, Ms. Kitty--the black and white comely, luminous Ms. Kitty, voluptuous and ravishing in her off the shoulder dresses and bustles on her designer gowns, not so much the painted, high collared, often colorless character from the Technicolor episodes--firing a shot gun barrel through the roof and saying the next barrel is for you, buddy.
