Nothing from me today. The most epic of football confrontations, year in and year out, happens at 1:15 p.m. PST and I have to be ready. Okay, the most epic for a Redskins fan.
Meanwhile, talk amongst yourselves. There are plenty of Newman obits out there but I find it sad to keep reading through them. It’s also interesting that Pete Hammond has finally joined the Oscar blogging rat race after trying to make a column work at a couple of outlets the last few years. We linked to his first item in yesterday’s round-up, which might or might not pan out.
Other possible talking points include the over-analysis of the debate (it was a fucking bore, let’s move on and never let Jim Lehrer near the gig again), last night’s latest Palin sketch (so should Fey just join the cast again instead of lurking in the buliding and being on the ready?), Halloween costumes (I heard the best idea the other day: nurse Joker) and the relative disappointment of most of the fall’s television series so far (The Shield, True Blood, Entourage — though The Office season opener was awesome).
Have at it.
