HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAD A GREAT THANKSGIVING. My family and I spent the day with my wife's family and we ate ourselves fat. I guess we'll have to exercise a bit extra tomorrow.
I don't know if fighting the crowds at the stores and malls counts, though. I'm wondering if we'll be hearing alarmist stories about business being down a bit. One thing to keep in mind is that online shopping is likely to be up a great deal. Traditional measures are going to have to be updated in this new age of information superhighways and folks who work from home using computers and the internet.
UPDATE: And is it just me, or should headlines like these be outlawed?
I mean, that's just pathetic. Especially for Michiganders who are suffering through another disappointing NFL season and just watched Joey Harrington win a third consecutive game for the first time in his career.
"Skinned"? Give me a break on the cliches, okay?
Money quote:
"I stood on the sidelines at the end of the third quarter there, and I looked across, and I saw guys were hanging their heads, and I saw people start walking out of the stadium," Harrington said. "At that moment, I thought to myself, `I'm glad I don't have to go through this anymore.' "
I always thought Harrington should have been a good QB and couldn't really figure out why he wasn't. Suspicions that it wasn't his fault seem to be gaining a lot of credibility.
For what it's worth, I also think John Kitna should be a good QB. But he sure doesn't look it these days.
