    W.C. Heinz for Red Smith Award (2007)

    If you're still taking signatures, here's mine. A no-brainer if there ever was one.

    Minesweeper

    I have thought about the NIAML.

    Minesweeper

    Anyone else play this game? I can't beat my previous best time and I'm wondering if it's because I suck or if it's because it's a pretty tough time to beat. At the beginner level, my best is 19 seconds; at intermediate it's 44; and expert is 123. How is everyone else doing?

    Teaching journalism

    I agree wholeheartedly with the "miss a deadline, don't pass the class" idea. I am also in favor of "spell a name wrong, fail the assignment."

    Need advice on two fronts

    Heineken, that is hysterical.

    ASE Norwich

    No idea what the pay is. And no, it will never stop getting kicked all over eastern Connecticut by The Day. Management overhaul doesn't appear to have done the trick. I would call it a stepping stone paper at best, but make it a quick step.

    WTHF is wrong with the Bengals?

    I thought it meant What The Holy ****.

    Zidane Head Butt Game

    F-ing sweet. Just got 42. Like, the Z Man, I'm going to retire.

    Has the AP moved a photo of Zidane's headbutt?

    And am I missing something when reading these stories from Berlin? I haven't seen anything from Zidane. I don't know how the postgame availability works for an event like this, but what the hell? I'd like to hear what he had to say for himself.

    "Dead Man's Chest"

    I enjoyed it, though not nearly as much as the first installment. Not enough of Captain Jack Sparrow for my taste. I think Depp is tremendous in general, so I would have liked to see more of his character, particularly after how good he was in the first one. But I'd recommend it if you saw and...

    At what point did you first feel "old"

    I'm 30 and I've decided I'm not going to feel old until every player in the four major sports are younger than I am. So let's go Julio Franco.

    The Movie I've Seen the Most

    Dumb and Dumber. Saw it three times in the theater. On the same day. And I haven't stopped watching it since.

    Three days of 24

    I'm not one to pat myself on the back, but I have made one of the greatest purchases of all time. Recently got some gift cards to Barnes and Noble, totalling just about $100. Headed to bn.com where I saw they were offering buy 2 DVDs, get a third free. Checked the prices on 24. When all was...

    Pickup lines that never, ever work

    While running his hands along his waist, a la some world champion fighter, a buddy of mine once asked a girl: "You want a shot at the title?" Not really sure what he was getting at but it was funny as hell. And he left with her. Another one I was SHOCKED to see work: "So, what you do say you...
