Happy Turkey Day!!!

Aw, Come On!!! OVERTIME????

Well, that was fun wasn't it?    Kansas City 27- Pittsburgh 24

• Now that the fat lady is done for this week, is that Jim Mora I hear warming up?
• Well, are they 10 points better than anyone?
• Troy's out for a month. I've said it before... troubling, just troubling.
• While I understand that the coaches don't execute on the field, I agree that there comes a time when they need to be called to account for what happens on the field. Really, a runback on the opening kick?
• With Troy out and Big Ben nicked up, methinks it'll be a while before the coach feels like House again.
• Seriously, nice recap at Mondesi's House.
• Quick recap here.

Baltimore next Sunday night. Can't wait...

Wha...Wha...What??!!!

• I will never be confused with a Bible scholar or an authority on the urinary customs of the Teutonics, but is this really what's wrong with the world today? You can't piss while standing in Germany and they talk about vertical urination too much in the Bible? Really?
• Forget about the world. Is this a sign of what's wrong in America? Interesting comments. Some are half-informed but all are interesting nonetheless.
• Or perhaps this little news nugget from Arkansas, via thesmokinggun.com:

An Arkansas cop tasered an unruly 10-year-old girl after her mother called police to report that the child was crying, screaming, and refusing to go to bed.... and...."Her mother told me to tase her if I needed to." After Kiara continued to refuse her mother's instructions, the cop concluded that "there was not going to be a peaceful resolution of the issue." Bradshaw warned the girl that she was "going to jail," and, of course... the child continued kicking and crying and resisted his attempt to handcuff her. During the tussle, Kiara "struck me with her legs and feet in the groin, reported Bradshaw, who countered with a brief "stun to her back" with his Taser. The child, not surprisingly, "immediately stopped resisting and was placed into handcuffs.
10-year-old won't go to bed and the first thing you do is call the cops.
Young 'un rearin'- Razorback style, y'all!!!

UPDATE:  Ark. cop suspended after using Taser on girl, 10.
God, I wish I could make this up....

A police officer who used a stun gun on an unruly 10-year-old girl after he said her mother gave him permission has been suspended — not for using the Taser but for not having a video camera attached when he used it.

Mayor Vernon McDaniel said officer Dustin Bradshaw was suspended Wednesday for seven days with pay. McDaniel said the suspension is for not following department procedures because he didn't have the camera on.

McDaniel wants Arkansas State Police or the FBI to look into whether the use of the Taser was proper. The girl, who hasn't been identified, wasn't injured and is now at the Western Arkansas Youth Shelter in Cecil.

              DIDN'T HAVE THE EFFIN' CAMERA ATTACHED????

             REEEEEAAAAALLLLLY???

• And from Iowa...Mail carrier found drunk inside Marion home

Police arrested a mail carrier after she was found drunk inside a residence while on the job in Marion earlier this month, authorities said Tuesday.

Kristine A. Pflughaupt, 46, of Marion, was charged with public intoxication Nov. 3 after she was found sitting on the kitchen floor of a house at 260 Sixth Avenue, eating leftover noodles from Marie O’Kelly’s refrigerator.

O’Kelly, 95, said she was watching TV in another room when she heard a noise. She thought her daughter had arrived, but became suspicious when no one came to greet her.

When she went to check, O’Kelly said she found Pflughaupt sitting on her kitchen floor. She was using her hands to eat leftover noodles, and they were running down Pflughaupt’s shirt. O’Kelly didn’t recognize her as the mail carrier.

Preliminary breath tests showed her blood alcohol content to be .281, police said.

• 2012, huh?

And Now, A Long Distance Dedication...

Weekend Recap: Dumbass Edition

• WTF is Skippy looking at? Hopefully, the coaching staff for the team he's playing for next season
  will teach the dumbass how to fall down and get tangled up in the returners' legs.
• Plenty of bad play all around, to be sure, but obviously the telephone booth was a little smaller than the inconsequential dumbass receiver thought.
• Everybody was "what a supreme effin' dumbass" when I turned in this week's picks: St. Louis +13.5, Kansas City +1.5 and Cleveland +11. Win, win and 0-0 at the half. Who's the dumbass now?
• Baltimore 16-0 start of the 4th quarter. Guess I am a dumbass.
• With .6 seconds left in the third period, the dumbass that was holding my remote switched from the Pens to what should have been, a foregone conclusion, the last nail in Charlie Weiss's coffin. Pitt holds on for the win and Bill Guerin and Pascal Dupuis shoot me the finger. Sheer dumbassery.
•  But, the hands down, pound-for-pound Dumbass of the Week has to be George from Carbondale, PA. Without the help of Google Maps, I have no idea where Carbondale is. However, if George is any indication, it must be in the middle of a huuuuuge salvia patch.
  
  
  

This just in.....


Baltimore 16- Cleveland 0. Absolute last time I take the mistakes from the lake.

Thank You

Just a few thoughts...

• I've been struggling of late trying to get a particular rant worded and out of my head. I guess that explains the Chris Rock/Elton John/White Zombie-does-KC & the Sunshine Band trifecta for the last 3 posts. Once I get that cathartic piece out, it's back to the rank mediocrity we here at IKNAB are famous for.
• Speaking of "we here at IKNAB", according to those 2 gadgets over on the right side of this page, we have had visitors from 33 states and 30 countries. Question: What kind of wrong turn is everybody taking to get here? Modesty and my faith in mankind prevents me from thinking the national/international community is wandering by on purpose.
• The Boy Mayor wins!! WooHoo! Thoughts on that surprise coming.
