The Monday cure: Most inappropriate behavior

The story goes I frolicked past Jacob, laughing all the way to the car.

He stood there. Stunned.

My friends and I have always referenced that day, “as the day the line was crossed for good.”

When we heard the New Frontier would be demolished in 2007, we feared the “line” would be lost in the rubble as well.

After another crazy week in a progressively crazier world, I felt like an apology was in order.

Like you, I have no clue how to stop the madness, but if you’re interested in finding the “line”, I can help.

It’s across the street from Steve Wynn’s Encore.

The Big Winner

A writer actually asked Stanford coach David Shaw if players from Stanford were soft — an offshoot of the Jonathan Martin-Richie Incognito-Dolphins situation — after the Cardinal manhandled the heavily favored Oregon Ducks Thursday night.

He should have asked Oregon coach Mark Helfrich. The answer would have been a resounding, “NO.”

The Ducks were not prepared for the level of physicality they faced for a second straight year.

It probably won’t happen, but I believe Stanford is the only team that matches up well with Alabama.

A nice dolphin. U-T

The Big Loser

Actual dolphins

I thought Dolphins were supposed to be nice? Cartoons must have lied to me as a child.

Regardless, I would hate to be connected to the Miami NFL franchise in any way, shape or form these days.
