Hey FA-

You must be exhausted from all the love.

Just wanted to say my hellos to the great birth mother of the planet (i'm not above a little knee scraping)... I'm part of the Cali patrol (DirtyWater has got SoCal covered, I'm taking the North)

My main job is rolling grenades into the breakfast cereal of the denizens of that ship of fools known as Raider Nation. Here on the front lines spirits are high. Nothing boosts the troops' morale quite like a dose of undeserved overconfidence from our opponents in the foam spike brigade. The LaMont Jordan/Randy Moss signings have left the great unwashed in a fit of gambling fury and they are desperately seeking Pats fans with whom they may plunk down their barely earned money for the opening night thrashing. I have found myself on the receiving end of their overexuberance and their stacks of benjamins. Life IS good.

I look forward to stealing your best material. I promise to use it for the forces of good.

Good work, man. Good work. I imagine you're fully deployed and making plans for the opener. Glad to see it. But take all necessary precautions. Be safe.

Personally, I think it's awfully hard on the Silver and Black's nefarious reputation to have Norv Turner leading the team. I mean there's nothing either seemingly menacing about Norv (a la Tom Flores who always looked as if he'd done hard time) or eccentric (a la John Madden), is there? Including his name. Norv.

Can you imagine Howie Long playing for Norv Turner? I can't. I think it probably pains Howie to see Turner at the Helm.

Unfortunately my best went to a cyber graveyard during the GREAT PURGING. But life goes on.

OK, OK, I've had a night to sleep on it.

Alice, no matter where you've been, no matter what you've been doing, it's great to have you back. What's mine is yours, and trust me, that's not very much (unless you want to share my kid's tuition bills).

Somehow, it seems like things are just the way they're supposed to be.

And I do hope you like the way the Planet has been kept up, despite the dust bunnies swirling in the corner.

After some lengthy consideration, I've made a decision:

I don't like Sax-Alice. I miss Goalie-Alice. Sax-Alice is funky 3D CGI and frankly creeps me out a little bit. The brat should be FLAT.

All the same, I've missed you in precisely the way that I don't miss ABBA.

Saying that to a woman can be considered sexual harassment :p

Too true. Norv is as safe as milk. His press conferences make Bill Belichick sound like Bobby Knight. He has all of Bill's deadpan platitudes without any of Bill's nasty little undercurrent of "I'm holding out on you on purpose, you little $hits... especially you Borges." And what with Wierd Al rocking the Woolworth rhinestone eyeglass leashes and the Tom Turkey flabby chin their public face (or scowl, as it were) is in dire need of some rhinoplasty - if for no other reason than to Bondo the buckshot acne scars that adorn Norv's grill.

The scary thing is, I understand you completely on this point.

As far as the flat Alice goes -- that avatar was originally given to me by NoRespect. I don't think I did something as silly as purge it out of spite or superstition.

But for the life of me, Icannot find the damn thing.

I've switched computers a couple of times since last summer, so it's probably in some archive of mine. But... hell will freeze over before I ever successfully search one of my archives.

Do Oakland fans have any logical explanation for why Al "Just win, baby" Davis selected Turner as his head coach.

It makes no sense to me. The guy is a classic "Good offensive coordinator." That is what he should stay.

Oh, can I actually download it from the thread? I didn't realize I could do that.

I'll give it a try.
