The recent pepper-spray attack on UC Davis students got me motivated to break out my trusty Photoshop again and render Officer Pike more true to his inner self.

Bill Belichick, head coach of the New England Patriots, is notorious for his dry, fact-filled, yet information-less press conferences. I got to thinking today, what would “BB” sound like if he was answering the kinds of questions that, say, a political candidate might get.

Yup. The Bruins finally won the Stanley Cup again.

I remember the 1970 and 1972 series. Orr, Esposito, Cheevers, “Pie” McKenzie, Bucyk, Sanderson, Hodge. Great team. Great memories.

This was a tougher road for a younger team. Tim Thomas in goal was just astounding. I’ve watched some of the greatest goalies over the years, but what he did was amazing.

What brought on this bout of Photoshoppery wasn’t just the dirty play of the Vancouver Canucks, but more so the moronic rioting and looting perpetrated by their fans after they lost Game 7. They tore the place up. Now, coming from Boston, we’ve had our share of heart-breakers (pronounced “Haht-Breakiz”), but we never went on a rampage because one of our teams lost. That’s stupid.

Anyway, I felt such idiocy deserved some attention, so …

Things were pretty weird after the Patriots-Vikings game last week. Yes … only a week ago. Since then Moss misbehaved his way out of Minnesota and Brad Childress demonstrated a grasp of command usually only seen in squirrels trying to get across a busy highway.

How Moss will fare on his latest team – the Titans – remains to be seen. It may be interesting to see if he lasts longer working for Jeff Fisher than Chilly is able to last as head coach of the Vikings.

Oh, and lets not forget that after the win against the Vikings the Patriots – whom some ‘experts’ declared could never get far with so many young and/or no-name players – now have the best record in the league.

Fans of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are hard at work coming up with ideas for protest signs. Some of the best I saw in the article for the Stewart rally are:

• “I Support Reasonable Conclusions Based On Supported Facts”
• “If You Can Read This, You’re Obviously Not Home-Schooled”
• “Protest Signs Are An Ineffectual Means Of Communicating My Nuanced Views On A Variety Of Issues That Cannot Be Reduced To A Simple Pithy Slogan”

And for the Colbert rally:
