    Brady’s out-of-this-world numbers defy description.

    So I’m watching Tom Brady as he walks toward the huddle with about five minutes left in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He’s down, 3-0. The first New England Patriots series was a three-and-out. And the Steelers, including rocks-for-brains safety Anthony Smith, are over there thinking, “Splash on a little of this, Mr. Stetson Cologne boy. The perfect seasons ends tonight, Father of the Year!”

    Except that Brady looks almost bored stiff. He looks like a guy I knew from high school, the one who does a perfecto on the SATs in the morning, has a face that acne forgot, and attracts prom queens like moths to porch lights. Not that I’m bitter or anything.

    Tom Brady

    Tom Brady has had plenty of reasons to celebrate this season.

    Brady just knows that the Patriots aren’t going to lose. It’s like he has a Tom To-Do list on his left wristband. Toy with Steelers … Throw to No. 81. … Make Anthony Smith cry.

    And he did. Brady threw four touchdown passes (five, if Randy Moss doesn’t contract a brief case of dropsies), steered the Pats to a 13-0 record, and humiliated the second-year pro, Smith, who guaranteed a Pittsburgh victory. Just think what he’s going to do to the Spygate snitches New York Jets this Sunday in Foxborough.

    Brady now has 45 touchdowns. Forty-five. With three regular-season games to go. You figure he throws nine against the Manginis, six against the winless Miami Dolphins and four against the New York Giants before he’s pulled midway through the second quarter. That gives him 64 for the year. The scary thing: I’m only half-kidding.

    Brady’s numbers are beyond obscene, beyond otherworldly. He needs five more TD passes to move ahead of Peyton Manning‘s record of 49 in a single season. That’s more than doable against the Jets, who shouldn’t expect any mercy moments from Coach Hoodie at Gillette Stadium. Remember those Coliseum scenes from “The Gladiator?” It’ll be like that. You’ll need tweezers to pick up the remains.

    To bring some clarity and perspective to Brady’s season, think of it this way: He has more touchdown passes than the rest of the AFC East (31), more than the combined totals of Brett Favre and Drew Brees (44), and the exact combined totals of Peyton and Eli Manning. He also has just five interceptions in 476 pass attempts. Dallas’ Tony Romo threw that many picks in a single game this season.

    Go ahead and YouTube the “Saturday Night Live” skits, circa 1990s, featuring Bill Swerski’s Superfans. They debate the superhuman powers of then-Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka. Ditka vs. a hurricane? Ditka wins, unless it was named Hurricane Ditka. Ditka can win the Indy 500 driving the Bears’ team bus. That sort of thing.

    Now there are Tim Tebowisms, in honor of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who just won the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore.

    Bradyisms

    Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits. When it rains in the Swamp, Tim Tebow doesn’t get wet. The rain gets Tim Tebow’d. What, then, does undefeated NFL superstar quarterback Tom Brady do?

    We need your help to come up with some Tom Bradyisms that reflect the ease and dominance with which the former sixth-round NFL draft pick has dominated opponents this season on the way to a 13-0 record.

    Submit your very own and we’ll post a sampling of the best responses. Send ‘em in

    When Google can’t find something, it asks Tebow for help … What color is Tebow’s blood? Trick question. Tebow does not bleed … Tebow ordered a Big Mac at Burger King — and got one.

    So how do we honor Brady, who is so clearly above Ditka and Tebow on the football food chain? Bradyisms?

    Brady listens to God’s confession … Brad Pitt called. He wants handsome lessons … Stetson smells good on Brady.

    We are witnessing football greatness this season. Even if you despise the Patriots, you can’t dispute their bona fides.

    The curt, often-mysterious Bill Belichick has his team holding hands with an undefeated season. Even better, Belichick loosened up after Sunday’s game and verbally vaporized the Steelers’ Smith. Anybody who thinks Belichick can’t hold a grudge or deliver payback — are you listening, Jets? — didn’t see what he said about Smith after the loss (“He’s just not very good,” Belichick was quoted in a Chicago Tribune story).

    The Patriots survived their three-games-in-15 days schedule, survived their close calls against the Philadelphia Eagles and Baltimore Ravens, survived the supposed last legitimate obstacle to an unbeaten regular-season record. They have a prideful veteran defense and an offense so astoundingly prolific that video-game language is being redefined. No longer do you say, “He’s putting up PlayStation numbers.” Instead, you say, “He’s putting up Brady numbers.”

    Tom Brady

    Brady has help, of course. Without the renaissance of Moss, Brady wouldn’t be chasing down Tweety Bird for that touchdown record. Then again, Moss wouldn’t have 19 TD receptions this season, only three shy of Jerry Rice‘s single-season record, without Brady. To think that the Patriots acquired Moss from the Oakland Raiders for a fourth-round draft pick is funnier than Smith falling for all those play-action fakes Sunday.

    But Brady, who has more touchdowns this season than he did during his entire career at Michigan, remains the centerpiece of 13-0. A former sixth-round pick, the 199th choice of the 2000 draft, is redefining the position, just as Manning and Marino redefined it before him.

    Three more wins separate Brady and the Patriots from regular-season perfection. And with a playoff bye, three more wins after that separate Brady and the Patriots from their fourth Lombardi Trophy in seven seasons.

    What must it be like for those teams who took a pass on Brady seven years ago? What if then-San Francisco 49ers coach Steve Mariucci had bought the pitch of Brady’s agent Don Yee, who tried to convince the Niners to draft his Bay Area-born client. Brady attended a 49ers pre-draft workout and impressed no one. On draft day, the 49ers took Hofstra’s Gio Carmazzi in the third round.

    I feel Mariucci’s pain. Brady was still available at the end of the second round of my ESPN league draft this past September. Instead, I took Jon Kitna because, well, I’m an idiot. When will we learn? The guy who took Brady two picks later in the third round has now won enough, uh, “chips” to buy Tiger Woods’ Florida estate.

    Not that I’m bitter or anything.

    Last round of tournament, most amazing street fighter comeback (ken = daigo). For those of you unfamiliar with Street Fighter, advanced blocking (parrying) – just accept it as godly and move on.


    Justin vs. Daigo, all three matches including the above clip. You can skip it if you’d like.

    I’ve seen them before, so you probably have to, but its still funny (and true).

    Men’s Rules (that women should know)

    1. Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

    2. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present . . . . again!

    3. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

    4. Sunday = sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

    5. Don’t cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you’re stuck with her.

    6. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

    7. We don’t remember dates. . . .Period!!

    8. Most guys own three pairs of shoes – tops. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?

    9. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

    10. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

    11. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

    12. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

    13. If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.

    14. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. We’ve been tricked before!!

    15. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

    16. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it’s genetic.

    17. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

    18. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

    19. Christopher Columbus didn’t need directions, and neither do we.

    20. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.

    21. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

    22. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

    23. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.

    24. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

    25. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.

    26. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.

    27. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it’s Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn’t really matter what they’re saying anyway.)

    28. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.

    How strange that when you look up “holy-war premium tickets crack”, I’m first on the list in google.de (though a distant second in google.com xD).

    Warning: mild adult language.

    I dislike Disneyland/Disneyworld, I really do. There isn’t a place more dedicated to delusions of grandeur. If I never had to go to another one of their overpriced themeparks, I would die a happy man. Where else could you force a parent to feel as if their child’s childhood is incomplete with a trip to one of their parks? or have to contend with an adult, stuffed into a costume, pretending as if he gave a shit while he shook your hand. It’s been a while since I’ve been (probably to the tune of 1989-1991), I didn’t have fond memories of it then nor do I wish to create new ones, regardless of how their parks have evolved. There is no enjoyment for me there and with every passing year, I find myself disliking the thought of it more and more. Make no mistake about it, I did briefly entertain the idea in my mind that I could suffer through it if I brought family or friends… but I’d rather you’d break my leg, said ‘fuck you’ and just went on your way.

    There is an awful lot of anti-Disney sentiment here. In fact, I’m willing to go so far as to say, I will never go to Disney again. Ever. I’ll take my two hours with a good looking female masseuse over that any day… at least there, she’s not just shaking my hand.

    Decided to give Windows Vista a try…
    (small desktop resolution, took screenshot before I set my desktop)

    Even though I can’t stand Windows Vista, for the life of me, I can’t remove it. Vista has more security holes than swiss cheese, but they’ve somehow made it more difficult to remove than malignant cancer. Honestly, I think I’ve tried it all. Since I removed Windows XP from both hard drives, now I lack both my old windows installation and the necessary files to boot without going into Vista. *Tech babble alert* Apparently, Vista replaces/overwrites the old bootloader (MBR, NTLDR) then renames your old windows directory as windows.old. However, I had reformatted that particular partition, so boot.ini, NTLDR, ntdetect, etc, were deleted and now whenever the box POSTs, it refuses to boot off any removable media (e.g. XP disc) save for the Vista disc. I’ve attempted several, what I thought at the time, potential solutions:

    1. e:/>boot/ xcopy bootmgr, bootmgr.efi, <dir> boot
    2. e:/>boot/ bootsect -NT52 SYS ALL /<drive>

    I’m really at a loss for words right now. I didn’t anticipate the degree of difficulty this would be, since normally a simple low level format (zero-ing) would clear everything short of pimples on a teenager’s face. Without a previous existing windows installation on the drive, Vista is a major headache to remove – the fact that it’s x64 (x86-64) variant instead of the x86 variety only further compounds the difficulty. I’m lost  this is going to take some time to figure out…
