Indianapolis Colts defeat Jets with more experienced tempo control by PEYTON MANNING. Jay-Z and the NJ Free School acknowledge the better team with BPM analysis and tempo graphics of JAY-Z and ALICEA KEYS’ “EMPIRE STATE OF MIND”

I’ve watched every Jets game for the last 40 years where I have had *any* tv ability.  When I went to college in Clinton, NY, I was almost crying when I turned on the Jets game opening Sunday, 1981, only to see the Buffalo Bills.  Buffalo is, after all, closer to Clinton than the Meadowlands.


More importantly, neither the “New York” Giants nor Jets played in New York *once* all year.  Usually the Jets play their division rival Buffalo Bills in my friend Chris Pope’s home town of Buffalo.  This year, though, the Jets played with Toronto hosting the Bills at the Rogers Centre.

The EMPIRE STATE OF MIND is *precisely* same speed to Eminem’s LOSE YOURSELF.  You may want to try that on a psyche loop.

So we of the Empire State who have followed the Jets since the Shea Stadium days were, as we were expecting, heartbroken again today.  But ya know: sports is so amazingly fantastically great to watch in that at the end, no one dies, your dog still loves you and you get in bed with the other 30 teams that didn’t win it all this year either.

Bob Costas once *left* football analysis because he called it a , “[Brutal, barbarian activity that barely qualified as a sport].”  Now let me say, like Mr. Costas, I am a huge baseball fan.  So said, both sports are violent and potentially fatal (a foul ball in the head, 2003, killed a Class AA coach who.

[/caption]Thank god no football player has died or been paralyzed recently, because though a “game,” Michael Lewis describes in his book The Blind Side, ” at the professional level: every play packs the violence of a car crash.” Costas, alas, came *back* to football.  After seeing REAL war, as any of you REAL warriors of the United States armed forces know, football ain’t so barbaric.

“(We’re Never Gonna Survive Unless We Get A Little) Crazy” – Seal & Klum determined that Britney will be their’s – linear/radar maps of song

November 24, 2009 Ian A Schneider 1 comment

The award for the most “crazy” idea for the entire year will have to go to: the invitation of “super” “model” Heidi Klum and her husband, guitarist, singer, composer Seal.

As if there were not already millions of home in the United States whose lives were based on that which was happening to Britney Spears, Klum and Seal decided: who better to to “adopt” as a legal “guardian” than Britney herself. Klum went into detail ad nauseum in regard to why being a ward of with Britney was the way that she and Seal should lead:
1) Britney is gorgeous, and, as Klum herself said, “And, in all humility, that is what I am known for. Is it a good thing? Sure. But the stress of being as attractive as one of myself teaches lesson that can only be passed on to, well, others in our league“;

2) Britney is not even a musician. Well, not true – she can “sort of sing,” as Klum phrased it, but what does she know of music and any instrument? You hear me? That is where my beautiful husband Seal comes in hard – he will teach her the guitar, and heck, she could be the next Joni Mitchell.
