1. If you have been circling the earth in a space capsule or been shackled to the assembly line in the North Pole or just 'tuned out' and channel surf through the spectacle that is the NFL on Sunday, then you are missing one of the greatest stories
of the 2011 season. Tim Tebow. If the pointy ball is not your cup of tea, skip down to the second paragraph and have another cookie. The Tebow phenomenon, six straight wins, orchestrated as come back victories, most of them in the 4th quarter,is a combo of good luck and bad luck. A bad pass, a fumble, a missed field goal...could have derailed the train, but when you're streaking like Tebow is streaking, the bad breaks somehow deposit them at your cleats, and hot damn, you rally,strike the pose and rock the mother fracking free world. Tim Tebow in my league is not PC; the dude's notoriously pro life. Come on, man. But, for all the religion and issues that's he packing, I give him a nod for his exuberance and ferocity. He might not be able to pass like Aaron Rodgers, but he's uh, well a load to bring down and he can lead. This Sunday against the glam QB of the Eastern seaboard, Tom Brady, Tim T. might find himself 'in an unfamiliar position: 'Bradied.'
2. Waiting for Fincher's vision of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.'
Have no doubt that it will be edgier, darker, and leave nothing to the imagination. Often times, double dipping the imagination is a spoiler. But, in a rare and impressive scene, the spectacular ending of Lars Van Trier's, 'Melancholia' iced the film...and sent it over the top. Sitting there just before the climatic ending, I thought naaaah not going to happen. Frack! So wrong.
3. Iraq. 8 years. Welcome home to the land of the 99%.
