- Josh Harvey-Clemons has a metabolism problem. I hate him for that.
- More Aaron Murray stat trivia.
- Aw, shucks.
- “That is going to blow a lot of phones up.”
- Check out this fun exercise over at the College Football Matrix blog winnowing out the eleven teams that are most likely to play for a national title this season.
- Non-football, but if there’s a funnier punchline in a recent crime story than “Sebring Police Cmdr. Steve Carr said police did not arrest the dog…”, I haven’t seen it.

The dog’s already an honorary police chief in Frostproof and Grand Marshal of the 12 Hours Parade in Sebring where upon his dismount from Bib the Michelin Man*, “Sebring Police Cmdr.

So by using sound reasoning, we are top 5 most important commentators.
Also on the dog thing, what does this mean? “The report said Lanier was not only surprised that the gun was loaded, but also that it was actually a 9mm weapon.”
Huh?
Did the cop say, “That’s a 9mm weapon” and the guy said in surprise and shock “WOW, I had no idea. You learn something new every day”?

Actually it was the dog who told both the cop and the victim:
“I’m not a real expert but I can give you some information.
The .380 is an American name for the ammo. In Germany where the 9mm started, it is known as the 9mm kurtz which stands for short. It has the same diameter as the 9mm, but a less powerful cartridge.
Being a lighter powder load it will of course have less recoil and flash. Now we get into a lot of different items:
• A .380 will usually be a lighter, smaller gun (not always) and because it is lighter it may jump just as much in your paw as a 9mm.
• A .380 won’t have as much muzzle velocity as a 9mm and will have less hitting power. 9mm have a lot of velocity and tend to shoot through a person and whatever is behind the target. Lots of penetration.
• As far as accuracy goes, most handgun confrontations occur at a distance of 20 feet (FBI statistics). Especially in-home and personal defense or in a pickup truck, you wouldn’t be shooting at a great distance unless you’re in the bed of pickup truck shooting at a cop car chasing you.
• For a basic all-around gun I like a wheel-gun (revolver). Personal favorite is S&W Model 66 w/4” barrel. I have the option of firing .38 Special for target or .357 for effect. You can even fire snake-shot if your aim isn’t too good. In a real dog-fight you’d be surprised how inaccurate you can be. Plus a wheel-gun is easier to see if it is loaded and no worry if the safety is on or off. It don’t have one. You also can fire it double action or single action depending on circumstances. Another benefit is that it is stainless steel and relatively easy to keep clean. The downside is that makes it easier to dust for paw prints.”

“Representative Darrell Issa (Wingnut- Vista, CA.), Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has suggested that it might be in order to issue a subpoena to Eli in order to have him testify before Congress so as to ascertain whether the weapon involved in the incident was one of estimated 2,000 lost firearms that “walked” across the Arizona boarder with Mexico as part of the now infamous and failed Fast and Furious gun tracking scheme concocted by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives [which wants to take our combat weapons away and use them to stimulate the Mexican economy]. Representative Issa wants to know “what Eli knew and when he knew it.”

Liberal pundit and minor television personality, Jon Stewart, is labeling the entire messy affair “just another example of the vast, on-going right-wing conspiracy to undermine the progressives’ agenda to bring sanity to the nation by banishing all firearms from the public sector.” Asked to cite factual documentation and/or quotable sources to underpin his allegation, Stewart stated that, for the moment, he felt no need to concern himself with the trivial notion of factual proof, as the mere fact that he declared the matter so makes it so. Continued Stewart, “Besides, I just like saying ‘vast and on-going right-wing conspiracy.’ It has a nice ring to it.”
