- Bears – Falcons Sunday night. I think the Bears should win this one, but I’m really concerned about the “calf strain” that Mike Brown has. It’s sounding pretty severe and he might miss the rest of the regular season.
- I thought of a scenario that would make ESPN’s Sunday night broadcasting team even worse. Add Tony Siragusa. But it could be worse. I can at least be thankful that Brent Musburger doesn’t call NFL games.
- So my old home-town newspaper, The Clinton Herald, has started an online discussion forum. I read through one of the threads and just could not take most of the posters seriously because of all the bad grammar and spelling mistakes. Check out this thread and see how many mistakes you can spot. (I got tired of counting at fifteen.) I guess this is a common occurrence in on-line forums, but it certainly annoys me. Unfortunately, I don’t think most people would be able to find and fix their mistakes even if they were to proof-read. The most common thing I see, which annoys me the most, is the use of the wrong “there, their, they’re” in a sentence. Maybe this has always been a problem, and it’s just exposed more because the internet makes it easier for anyone to express their opinion in writing. That’s what I’m going to keep telling myself at least.

Some of the threads in that forum are rather amusing, like the 3 page cat-fight about the new station format of 94.7 FM.
As annoying as half the posters are, I still can't help but check it every day.
The "their" problem really bugs me too, along with the its/it's mix up. Oh, and your/you're. Totally distracting.
Yes, those are the other two examples that are running rampant everywhere.
Maybe all the Clinton alums that read this page should get accounts for the Clinton Herald forum. That might be fun actually.
BARE with me while I work on some responses to your blog.
I like the Sunday night espn crew.... a lot. I usually lie NAKED in bed watching them till I fall asleep and then dream about the millions of LADIES that want me. I floated til I couldn't see the ground.....
Somebody help me.....
