four years of insults
now as we approach our fourth year of blogging at all-encompassingly.com, i have gone through our comment history and found quite a few interesting insults directed either at travis, doug, or the blog. and i’ve realized a few things:

Notre Dame: Were they ever that good?
That’s what I’m starting to wonder.
I usually cheer for them, because unlike so many other football programs, they shy away from recruiting thugs and ex-cons (yes, I’m looking at you, Bobby Bowden).
But there is a difference between hoping a team does well and flat-out favoring them beyond all reason, like the pollsters do every single [...]

Home Depot CEO Steps Down
This is the upside-down world we live in.
Robert Nardelli, the CEO of Home Depot who came under fire for the size of his pay package as well as his management style, stepped down and will leave the No. 1 home improvement retailer with a $210 million severance package, the company said Wednesday.

Boise State 43, Oklahoma 42 - Video
Perhaps the funnest football game I have ever watched.
