Actually Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is mentioned in two movies "I Love You Man" and "Bruno". The Soup on tv made a reference to it as well. It is also mentioned in another movie "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium."
One thing I'll like about the end of Breaking Bad is the end of this blog, with its bad writing and phony I'm-so-cool attitude. Just TELL us, for crying out loud, with some thoughtful commentary in the midst of it.
Lisa – agreed. I can't understand any of this 'artical'.
This episode was not at all good or intriguing. The re-introducing of the Gray Matter storyline was completely superfluous and shows really how downhill this show has come since since season 3-4. I hate that I even feel compelled to watch it anymore.
Great blog first time reading..
and Lisa, never understood people like you. If you're so put off by his writing skills why do you read it? guess that's the nature of people like you, who live to throw peanuts from the gallery, but never played the game.
There is a mistake in this episode. Hope someone caught it. When Flynn comes to take the call in the principal's office, she says "It's your aunt marie, it sounds very important, you can take it in here okay. Here he is." Here he is?
I disagree that the reintroduction of the Gray Matter storyline was superfluous. In fact, I think it supports the storyline coming around full-circle. After all, doesn't Walter's frustration about the lost entrepreneurial opportunity underlie his turning to the dark-side?
Anon, she said "Here he is" to the woman on the phone, not to Walt Jr.
If the Gray Matter storyline is the precursor to Walt's darkside, why does is just now make a comeback 5+ years (2+ years in BB universe time)? Seems utterly contrived and quite unbelievable in my opinion. Who cares what Elliot and Gretchen think?
Clap clap clap so glad they could tie up storylines from season 1 that had no bearing on the story or that anyone cares about anymore. Bravo Vincey boy. Don't worry, your fanboys will still siphon you off.
Granite State was the worst episode I can remember. It has no suspense, and it's like after killing off Hank, the show has died as well. I am hoping for a bit of suspense in the series finale. Start by killing the whiny, rat Jesse.

…"Here he is" is the secretary saying to "aunt marie" that statement…that Flynn is about to take the phone. I didn't think that was too hard to follow…
"Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" was mentioned in Sacha Baron Cohen's movie "Bruno."
Completely agree with Tom
gotta love these dbags who say they hate the show but have watched since it started. and if you don't know why walt is pi88es at Gretchen and Elliot then you missed a lot in your meth wonderland!!!

Think back to last season when Walter tells Jesse how he is in neither the money or the meth business. "He's in the empire business." He's been clinging to that lost opportunity with Grey Matter forever and it's what drove him to take over the meth empire in the first place.
Im so sorry my brother cannot believe the sincerity of my daddy. Not for the money but for the chance to be a family just for awhile and say goodbye to him properly and have a good place in our hearts for what he tried to do for us. Did the Gray Matter drug rehab organization preceed my birth? I dont remember. Oh, wait! That was the company he helped found years ago with Elliott and wife. Gotta look again for meaning of the interview. Still would like one of you bright people out there to explain how Jessies old phone was able to forward to Kitty phone when, in fact, Js phone was taken by law enforcement.
mr magoriums was used in bruno u r wrong
Great "calm before the storm" build up. Brilliant acting from both Cranston and co. – Incredible to think how there still is an ongoing struggle between Walt and Heisenberg that won't be resolved to the end. Can't wait for an explosive cap to the series.
I think the depiction of Walter in diminution, effectively imprisoned, and his re-emergence as Heisenberg, the embodiment of a will not to be deterred or denied, was very nicely portrayed. Elliot and Gretchen Schwartz reminded Walter of the terrible insecurity and self-effacement that he suffered. That drove him to leave Gray Matter, which could have been his company, too, drove him to be a high school chem teacher, drove him to instantiate himself as 'less', to not reach his potential, and drove him consequently to become Heisenberg, a Mr. Hyde.
Worst recap ever.
A disappointingly half hearted review of the penultimate episode. You knew it was coming with the 'dog ate my homework' excuses at the beginning. Frankly the show deserves better. Hopefully the writer will get a chance to review the episode again and flesh this review out.
So much fluff about your in-laws and so little about the episode. Want my 2 minutes back.
First of all, great episode. Whoever said there was no suspense is crazy, I would agree there was a little less action in this episode but thats understandable. This was all about dealing with the fall out of everything finally coming to light, and setting up what is shaping up to be a great finale.
With regards to the Gray Matter plot line I think it definitely makes sense, Walt's life would have been examined under a microscope and the fact that he helped to found such a huge company would have come to light and been a major news story. So seeing that on TV would make sense, and his departure from the company before it made it big has been a driving factor behind his greed, so I think it was a smart move to drive him out of hiding. I cannot wait to see how it ends.
Funny and insightful. Whybdonpeople commotion these boards and attack the writers? I'd it envy? It really ruins my e pertinence of reading to read all then hate dumped on every single reviewer here.
Yes, it was an error to have spent time concocting an excuse for a deficient recap, including notes about the author's diet and family. The author's time would have been better spent making the piece better. It's the 'personal' style promoted by Hunter Thompson and more recently aggrandized by Ain't-It-Cool News. Today, it's what bloggers, vloggers and tweeters do. Every idea, judgment and inference is measured through one's person and personality, to the great detriment of those ideas, judgments and inferences.
I do it, too. For instance, I wish to aver that the scene in "Caballo Sin Nombre" (Horse With No Name), S03 E02, in which Saul, at Jesse's instigation, crushes and owns Jesse's parents and their lawyer in negotiation for Jesse's deceased aunt's house, left me a most satisfying feeling of vengeful justice and made it more memorable for me than most any other scene in the entire series thus far. Aaron Paul's portrayal of pain witnessing Andrea's punitive execution perhaps equals it for me.
I wish to chasten those who have complained about the heavy hand of the writers obtruding into an otherwise pristine narrative by saying I am prepared to let the writers write the narrative as they would. At least, fully hear the writers out. After you've considered the whole work, then give vent to your hating and unbalanced criticism.
Brilliant episode. Loved the ending.
I was confused about why Jesse's former girlfriend, Andrea, wasn't more suspicious of Todd when he showed up at the door. She seemed oddly open to this stranger claiming to be a friend, when the last 'friend' of his was Walter, who turned out to be this major drug kingpin, and she must have known, as Lydia had said, that the authorities were searching for Jesse as well.
What Writing hints says. "like" and + 1 to him/her. Also to XO, Bob, and Lisa.
Walt White is dead. Long live Heisenberg.
Great recap! I've read a few before this and they all left out very important details. Nice style. Thanks for the good read.
I endured the self-centered lengthy writing in hope to find a shred of interesting content.
I was disappointed.
The first review I read after the BB episode is this one because they are always so well written, not just a synopsis. I have read better, but no complaints at all. Keep up the good work!
I totally agree with Susan. Who would open their door to a strange man at night? Who would actually go out of the safety of their home. leave their son in the house to look into scary looking van? It should have been more of a secret invasion like they did with Skyler..more believable.
Also, no one including the writer comments on Lydia wanting to off Skyler. She will also be in the last episode somehow I think.
One last thing very few commenters have touched on how the last episode will end. The author left a a great question at the end of his article…the Vince's writing is so unique, no one knows and is scared to speculate.
One More Episode, good point about Lydia. She's definitely a presence and has power. Gilligan has emphasized that he means to have no loose ends, so, her interests and actions must be addressed.
Elliot claims Walt helped with the name only of GrayMatter and that hits the ultimate Heisenberg nerve in Walt. Walt resented selling his interest in the company and to hear, rightly or wrongly, that he was a non entity in the company's success is enough to include Gretchen and Elliot as part of unfinished business. Jesse kills the nazis, Walt takes out Lydia before doing some sort of great harm to GrayMatter. Loved the part where Gretchen unleashed the full-on Heisenberg by saying the sweet lovable intelligent Walt ceased to exist.
hey anon, if iam not mistakened, the principle said "here he is" to who she presumed to be aunt marie on the phone, then she gave phone to jr
I think the ricin will be for him self. Remember what he said about the ricins time to kill a person? 36 hours. He will try do to many things in that time. And then die and be remembered. I would love to see him saving jesse and teaming up again. It would be just fantastic. From start to the end. And how flynn reacted to hes father…Bloody thing to see. I really want to see that lydia dies. Shes all about meth. Todd looked like a nice guy at start. But now…Hes young heisenberg. Jesse will probably die or suicide. Either way there is no point for living to him. EXCEPT. He may take the boy to take care of him. He would become a great father. That would be my predictions. And let's hope to see their zombies in "Walking dead" Episodes xD.

She picked up the phone and said to "Marie"here he is.
hey one more episode….take into consideration the love and concern she has for jessie that would make her answer the door and walk out of her house…she is probably thinking about his whereabouts day and night….and then your opening the door to this young polite charismatic guy who is there for jessie as well ( a friend)…so yeah i can see someone not in a clear state of mind trusting todd. Tadd….good call…yeah the ricin is prob for walt….anyways….i think they needed an episode or two extra in between to build up to this point
I think that a lot of critics are missing big portion of Walt's mental development and completely ignores what kind of man he was in the beginning of this TV show… Just watch the pilot again and you will be surprised. You will hear buzzing sound in the ears too (as Skyler this episode) – first time when Walt hears he has a cancer – and also you will see, that he has no respect from ANYONE, his family included. He is poor, with debts, has no health insurance and has to have second job in car wash to wash his student's car wheels… He has cancer and pregnant dominant woman. He has NO real family already there. He was alone, nobody cared about him, his feelings, his ideas, dreams, whatever. Only bright spot was his son. After he made that long journey to end up in the small cabin in mountains, he lost even Flynn… I think it is not fair to let finish this story and make him in our memory as complete "control freak", murderer, manipulating maniac who cares about nothing just him and his money…
There's pure symbolism involving Walt's cancer. In the beginning it was seen as a sympathetic cry for Walt. Now Walt has become a cancer.
To Tommy: They always presented her as concerned over Jesse. In these days and times…no way would anyone open the door to a stranger at night…a total stranger. I can understand Walt she knew him, it was broad day light and yet even Brock sensed he was up to no good.
To Tadd: Good theories..but with him already having cancer I can't see him taking poison BEFORE he carries out his plans…too risky. He looked pretty healthy when he got the ricin cigarette from his house. We don't know the time frame the writers will have him on the run..poissibly in remission from his Cancer. At any rate revenge will be on his mind. The title of the last episode is feline.. so the women will have a big role in the last episode. It shoud be good.
Felina is a play on words: really stands for Finale.
I thought that GRANITE STATE reflected the writers own zealous desire to drop Walter White down the deepest, most ridiculous hole they could find.
How is it — please explain it to me — that Walter White with $11 Million Dollars in Cash — gets relocated to rural, frigid, off-the-grid New Hampshire as his escape and new identity location? He has no TV, internet, or media access. He has no human contact. No plumbing or heating. Nothing. Yet, he has $11 Million Dollars.
This plot development made about as much sense as Jesse going insane with the sudden realization that WW poisoned the boy of his surrogate family.
I also don't like how the weight of the world is falling on Skyler when the State's Attorney really cannot build a case against her. Also, there's no way she'd only be represented by a deer-in-the-headlights public defender.
To me the writers of the show are on a mission, and they are stretching the story to make things break as badly as possible.
I'm sorry, WW would never relocate into the middle of nowhere and there's no reason for that either. With his money, he could successfully hide out virtually anywhere provided he disguised himself and kept a low profile.
I've read about five reviews of this episode, and I'm about the only person who thinks this way…..
Jesse went crazy because he realized Sauls goon took the cigarette from him. This provided additional evidence that Walt committed the poisoning. Walt must move far and have no contact; you underestimate the Fed if you do not believe this…
smithbaltimore , don't forget a recent example, White Bulger, who lived for some 15 or 20 years hiding in plain sight, keeping a low profile, as you say. Ultimately, he was identified. The irony of having $11 million yet having such a poor life is very important to the narrative. Walter does give up and does relocate and does resign himself to loss and a death alone, but then, the fire of his pride is fanned into life yet again and he breaks from his capitulation and, I expect, will go on a tear of "making things right" the Heisenberg way.
@smithbaltimore If you notice the indecisiveness of Walt while he locked up in 'Vacuum Man's' basement, Saul and VM know that Walter can be a hazard to both of them. Walt wants Saul to go with him for unfinished business, but Saul is too business smart to know it's time to get out of the game. This would be both detrimental Saul & VM. Walt at that point still has an agenda, and if you provide him with tools such as the web, or a phone he is going to make a mess of things. And we saw that when he finally conjured the courage to go in to town, and what was the first thing he did? Used a phone to call his son. So really it makes perfect sense.
I bet Walt is going to the Nazi compound. He'll take the ricin and then call the DEA and tell them where he is. He'll let the Nazis go down at the hands of the DEA.
Very good review. I sort of agree with @smithbaltimore, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the episode. Sometimes we just have to suspend disbelief.
Spoiler Alert, 7:41 -
A lot of people think Walt will take the ricin. You may be right, but I'd be very surprised. Everyone's caught that it's a delayed-action death, but the interval isn't pretty. The most famous victim came down with a high fever the night he was poisoned, and died of it three days later. No one would commit suicide with it unless he really wanted to punish himself on the way out. I would bet against Walt's penitence, such as it is, taking that form.
Please forgive my ignorance…..I came late to the party. But…..
What is Walt's 'beef' with Lydia?
Also….why do you think Walt was taking chemo in NH? Chemo makes you feel like crap…..if he has a mission (and what IS the mission?), why put himself thru that?
BTW, I have enjoyed reading all of Mr. Crooks recaps on BB.
I hope Walter hasn't put Charlie Rose on his taking care of business list.
And PS Mr Crooks: I, too, gasped and was thrilled to see Robert Forster.
more evidence that Giliigan is partial to the themes and narrative styles of Elmore Leonard and early Quentin Tarantino.
For Confused, Walter has no animosity towards Lydia, though he does want to have nothing to do with her. She wants him to cook to restore her product to the purity he was able to attain, he wants to never again cook. She has some power over him, he dislikes that.
Walter wants to live, apparently, so endures the chemo. I doubt he will commit suicide using the ricin although he may very well do something dangerous and self-destructive.
Walter's final mission is what we're to see in the finale. "Felina" is a woman's name, isn't it, as well as an anagram of 'finale'. I wonder what role that name will prove to have in the finale.
Cant someone please explain how Kitty phone was able to receive msgs sent to Jessies old phone that was impounded? PLEASE!!!
Are you talking about the episode "Granite State", or some prior episode? I don't think Jesse or his phone gets a call in this ep (I watched the ep once only and then skimmed back and forth). Can you direct me to the scene that's troubling you?
They got that baby looking very, very unhappy last week. Why is no one up in arms over the evident emotional pain they caused a human baby??!! People protect animals more closely than they do one another.
The Hello Kitty phone was given to Jessie by Saul as Jessie was about to leave for Alaska. J was apprehended by Hank and took calls on Kitty phone which were calls to Jessies old phone. Old phone had been taken by law enforcement. Two calls, for example, were from Walt apologizing to J and the other setting up the mtg in the town square.
More info than you ever wanted to know, eh? Thanks for addressing my question.
Hey, Ks4736, if the series finale is, indeed, titled "Felina," it may just refer the title's being an anagram of the word "finale." There may be another reference in the name "Felina" as well. The late, oh-so-great Marty Robbins had a song, "El Paso," in 1959, that was hugely popular. The song was a first-person narrative told by a cowboy in El Paso, Texas, who fell in love with a young Mexican woman named "Feleena," a dancer at Rose's Cantina. After another cowboy made advances to Feleena, the narrator gunned down the challenger, and he then fled El Paso for fear of being hanged for murder or killed in revenge by his victim's friends. The narrator then switches from the past to the present for the remainder of the song, explaining that his desire to see Feleena again compels him to return to El Paso. Upon entering the town, he is attacked and gunned down by a posse or his victim's friends. At the end of the song the cowboy recounts that "from out of nowhere Feleena has found me," and then he dies in Feleena's arms ("One little kiss and Feleena, goooood-bye"). If the title of the episode is also referring to that song, I wouldn"t be surorised to hear it featured in the episode, making that song at least the third song that I've heard featured in the series that is from the happier, simpler times of the late fifties and early sixties.
I think, rather, I took it as, Saul informed Walt about the whole episode with Jesse, including that Saul gave Jesse that particular phone. I don't recall any explicit explanation or transition, however. It was a sort of loose end that I wanted to allow. I can't expect a writer to handle every last detail when it could be a notable drain on the pacing to do so.
Thanks for your suggestion of an allowable loose end. I tbought technology was passing me by.
Can hardly wait for final, but Sunday eve will never be the same. When will all seasons be reshown?
I posted a few weeks ago that I thought the Ricin was for the Gray Matter team (Elliot and Grechen and perhaps others) and I'm now more convinced. I though this because Walt's troubles all started with him selling his shares in the company, seeing it thrive and then him working as a lowly (for him) high school chemistry teacher and at the car wash just to get by. He would have been rich beyond belief and able to pay his own medical bills if not for this mistake. Not surprise to see Gray Matter show up now although some seem to think it came out of the blue. Remember that this has all happened over a few years between Walt's 50th and 52nd Birthday.
After losing Walt Jr. Walt was resigned to turning himself in until he saw the TV interview and that set him back on course and turned him back into Heisenberg. I don't think there will be many surviours after the final episode. I see Gretchen and Elliot getting the Ricin. Jesse using a few chemistry tricks he learned from Walt over the years somehow poisoning all or a good part of the Nazi's (except for Todd they are all too stupid to wear gas masks after all). Don't see Skylar or Marie or even Walt Jr. surviving especially after Skylar told Todd and crew where Walt Jr. has been staying. Thinking Walt makes threats about the blue Meth being his signature to the Nazi's and/or Lydia. To get Walt "back in line" Skylar and perhaps both kids get offed by the Nazi's just like they did to Brock's mom to get Jesse back in line. Not sure how Marie dies if she does at all unless she threatens Walt in which cases bye bye Marie.
It's then down to Walt, Todd, Lydia and Jesse as to who survives. Lydia I believe is more cunning than most would think and perhaps has resources we don't know about yet. Thinking she has to pick which one survives and since Walt is the master cook maybe It's Jesse and Todd who leave in body bags while Walt and Lydia team up as the Meth king and queen.
Walt's plan has always been to add the ricin to food–first there was Tuocco and then Gus. I doubt if Walt is going to show up to the Nazis' compound with a bucket of Pollos Hermanos or to the Schwartz's with a surprise cupcake. On the other hand, there's someone who always orders chamomile tea with soy milk; I think we'd all have to agree that she should go.
thanks for the synopsis! but we don't need the backstory about your family here

Rapidly expanding GAZİANTEP, with a population approaching a million and a half, is the wealthiest city in the region. A principal beneficiary of the GAP project, it derives its income largely from textile production and agriculture (and is especially famed for its pistachio nuts). Tourism is now a major industry as well, and many of the city's beautiful, pale-stone historic buildings – especially its hans and mosques – have been restored and made accessible to visitors, with explanatory display boards in English. The Zeugma Mosaic Museum, whose collection rivals the best in the world, is simply stunning; it alone would make a trip here worthwhile. Unfortunately, its role as a major trade entrepôt and tourist destination has been hit since 2012 by the civil war in nearby Syria – Aleppo, Syria's second city, is just 100km away. Cross-border trade has dried up, and visitors put off by a bomb that killed nine civilians in August 2012.
Gaziantep has been successively occupied by the Hittites, Assyrians, Persians, Hellenistic Greeks, Romans, Selçuks, Crusaders, Byzantines and Arabs. Locals still call it "Antep", a corruption of the Arab ayn teb ("good spring"); the prefix "Gazi" ("warrior for Islam") was added to honour the Turkish Nationalist forces who withstood a ten-month siege by the French in 1920. For centuries Gaziantep held a mixed Muslim and Christian Armenian population. The Armenians were expelled during the vicissitudes of World War 1, but their attractive old quarter remains on a hill above the prominent Atatürk statue in front of the Adliye (court) building. The traditional Muslim bazaar quarter, centred on the castle, lies a short walk northeast of the Atatürk statue.Read More
Zeugma Mosaic Museum
Zeugma Mosaic Museum
The superb new Zeugma Mosaic Museum, slightly inconveniently located on the ring road north of the city centre, exhibits a superb collection of mosaics rescued from the once-luxurious Hellenistic/Roman border city of Zeugma, now virtually submerged by the Birecik dam on the Euphrates.
On the ground floor, where visitors enter, arrows direct you along the best route around an incredible array of mosaic floor panels, taken from the houses of wealthy citizens at Zeugma. Particularly impressive are the re-creations of Roman peristyle villas, complete with their original mosaic flooring and wall frescoes. The mosaics themselves, most of which portray scenes from Classical Greek mythology, including Perseus and Andromeda, Eros and Psyche, and Pasiphae and Daedelus, are well labelled in English.
Below ground level, a section is devoted to the bathhouse of a gymnasium complex, including mosaics, water pipes, toilets and the under-floor heating system – and a magnificent bronze statue of the god of war, Mars. The first floor holds yet more wonderful mosaics, including a superb scene of Zeus kidnapping Europa. The mosaic panel that has become a symbol of today's city, the enigmatic face of a young female known as the "Gypsy Girl", gets a darkened room all to itself.
The free, 15-minute video on the history of Zeugma that's shown at regular intervals, to the left of the entry turnstiles, is well worth catching.

Cutting hair short "just because" and changing hairstyles frequently is a sign of fickleness, and that is inherently unattractive. That's why short hair is often seen on little girls and little teenage hipster chicks and riotgrrl punx because they haven't matured to be able to take care of their own appearance.
Something as simple and easy as having long, flowing, beautiful and sexy hair is a sign of integrity and being able to stick to one thing for quite a while, something that most people lack in this day and age. It's a sign of maturity and adulthood.
There's also something really sensual about long, untamed, naturally grown hair. Seeing it is like an instant connection to nature and earthiness and humanness, if you're into that spiritual hippie stuff. I am, if only a little bit.
Now I'm not saying that a sexy girl can't look sexy with short hair (because she's already sexy regardless), but I think a woman looks like a woman when she has long hair. Long hair is a signifier of maturity and womanliness.
Enough said.
this blog is seriously fucking creepy
yeah this is kind of weird and gross
Sure I'm beating a dead horse, maybe I'm feeding a troll, but I have a sore throat and I'm a little pissed because of it, so here it goes: Fuck you, fuck your blog, and fuck your close minded views. Fuck you for thinking if a woman has long hair she is automatically superior. Fuck you for thinking everyone is underneath you just because of their decision to cut their hair. Fuck you because some people can't grow their hair out so I guess they're not worth the time of day in your eyes. Fuck you for being noninclusive. Fuck you for having a disgusting view of the world and placing it in a public setting. Let me tell you how I'm more mature then you claim your hair makes you look - I don't let things like hair determine how I value a person. When you grow up, then maybe people will take you seriously.

ProFootballTalk: What's next for San Diego?
Cardinals release linebacker Victor Butler
The Arizona Cardinals released linebacker Victor Butler on Tuesday.
The team had signed Butler just two weeks ago to add some depth at linebacker with John Abraham's placement on the injured reserve list.
However, Butler was not active for the Cardinals game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3 and was subsequently released by the team this week. With the bye week allowing Alex Okafor to recover from a thigh injury, Butler was no longer needed on the roster.
Butler missed all of the 2013 season after tearing his ACL with the New Orleans Saints. He was sidelined for the majority of training camp before finally getting cleared to return. The Saints then released him soon afterward.
Butler has not appeared in an NFL game since the final week of the 2012 season with the Dallas Cowboys. He recorded 25 tackles with three sacks and two forced fumbles for Dallas, which helped him get a contract with the Saints.
Change in shoes alleviates ankle issues for Kam Chancellor
Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor had one of the poorest performances of his career in a Week 2 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
Chancellor was hampered by bone spurs in his ankle that limited his ability to move effectively. Chancellor drew coverage responsibilities against tight end Antonio Gates frequently, who caught seven passes for 96 yards and three touchdowns in the Chargers 30-21 victory over Seattle.
The issue had Chancellor considering surgery over the bye week to correct the issue so he could be fully healthy for the team's stretch run in November and December.
Instead, a change in footwear appears to have solved much of the problem.
According to Terry Blount of ESPN.com, Chancellor has switched from low tops shoes to a version with more ankle support.
"Yeah, I was thinking about [surgery] before the Broncos game," Chancellor said. "We found some ways to get around it and get better comfort. It feels better now. It's feels good. No concerns at all."
Chancellor had surgery following the 2012 season for bone spurs in his ankle as well. The problem resurfaced the week before Seattle's game against the Chargers and had a noticeable effect on his performance.
"He made it back and did a really good job last week, played great football," head coach Pete Carroll said Monday. "He looked fine today so we might have put that one behind us."
Harrison says the problem isn't Brady but his supporting cast
So what's wrong with Tom Brady? A former teammate says the real question is what's wrong with the guys around him.
"Tom Brady can still play," NBC's Rodney Harrison told WEEI in Boston on Tuesday, via ESPN.com. "But when you surround him — there's a reason why Brandon LaFell was let go [by Carolina]. He's not a great player. He's a young guy, and he has to make his way in this league.
"And Danny Amendola, you look at him, no one ever said he was a great player. He's always been hurt. The history is behind it. Rob Gronkowski obviously coming off that ACL injury, he's been hurt. So it's not like when you look at the Patriots on paper they just have all these weapons and teams are afraid of them."
Then there's the blocking. Or lack of it.
"I think it's one of those situations where Brady, he's really, really frustrated," Harrison said. "He doesn't have any confidence in his offensive line."
As a result, Harrison thinks Brady is "scared to death" in the pocket.
"But at the end of the day, Tom needs to play better," Harrison said. "The offensive line needs to protect him, but Tom — we've said it week in and week out — he's missing opportunities that are there; he's just floating the ball in the air."
The ball may be floating some more on Sunday night. Fresh off a 41-14 thrashing by the Chiefs on national TV, the Pats return home to face the 3-0 Bengals on Sunday Night Football.
Bears waive two, promote WR Chris Williams
The Bears waived two players off the roster and promoted a player from the practice squad on Tuesday, releasing wide receiver Rashad Ross and linebacker Terrell Manning and signing receiver/returner Chris Williams. The moves were announced in the NFL's daily transactions.
Williams, 27, was on the Bears' roster for the Week Two victory vs. San Francisco, logging one snap on offense. His promotion comes with starting wideout Brandon Marshall dealing with an ankle injury. Were Marshall out or limited for Sunday's game at Carolina, Santonio Holmes would see more playing time on offense, which could limit his use on special teams; the ex-Jets wideout is the Bears' top punt returner. Williams (5-8, 175) could also be in line to replace the departed Ross on kickoffs.
Ross and Manning appeared in the Bears' last two games. Ross, 24, played 17 snaps (10 on offense, seven on special teams) in Sunday's loss to Green Bay, returning two kickoffs for 43 yards. The 24-year-old Manning played 11 special teams snaps vs. the Packers, his former club.
The Bears have one open roster spot.
FCC considers banning Washington name from broadcast TV
With the blackout rule now scuttled, the FCC can turn its attention to another NFL-related item of business: Preventing broadcast networks from using the name of the Washington NFL franchise.
On Tuesday, FCC chairman Tom Wheeler said that the league will be considering a petition filed earlier this month alleging that the term is indecent.
"We will be dealing with that issue on the merits, and we will be responding accordingly," Wheeler said, via the National Journal.
George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf argued in the petition that the term constitutes a "racist, racially derogatory word." A decision that the term is indecent would block over-the-air networks (CBS, FOX, CBS, and ABC) from using the term. The word could still be used in cable broadcasts.
But it wouldn't matter. A ruling from the FCC that the term is indecent would force the NFL to change the name.
To be clear, acknowledgment that the issue will be addressed doesn't mean that the FCC will decide to characterize the term as indecent. But it may, and that would be far more significant than today's ruling that the little-used blackout rule no longer can be enforced by the NFL against the networks.
Marshall apologizes for not talking to the media
When Bears receiver Brandon Marshall decided not to talk to the media after Sunday's loss to the Packers, it was obvious he'd talk about the situation during his in-week gig with Inside The NFL. And he does.
"People in Chicago have really treated me well, and I need to give them a little more," Marshall said during the show that debuts at 9:00 p.m. ET on Showtime. "I tried to channel my inner emotions and it didn't work. . . . It's been haunting me for the past three weeks and I know I have to give [the press, the fans, Chicago] a little more. . . . I have to do a better job. . . . I've done a great job my whole career, but these past few months I really haven't talked to the media at all. . . . I'll do a better job."
Based on Marshall's apology, it sounds like his silence has gone on for more than a week. Which could put him in line for a fine, if the media in Chicago ever complain about his silence.
Santana Moss says "it hurts" to sit on the bench
Washington receiver Santana Moss has been inactive for each of the first four games of the season, and he doesn't like the feeling of being a bench warmer.
"Honestly, man, it hurts. It does," Moss told 106.7 The Fan. "I'm not sure if it hurts more because I know these years count so much to me, or it's just me knowing that I put so much in to be ready. And to be able to accept coming in knowing that it was going to be harder to just say, 'Yeah, I'm on this team.' And all the other stuff, man, to finally be here and then sitting here and not being able to be a part of wins and losses. It's just tough."
It's surprising that Washington kept Moss on the roster if he wasn't going to be active on game days. Usually the players who are on the roster but inactive on Sundays are young guys who are still developing as players, not 35-year-old veterans like Moss.
Perhaps Washington still thinks Moss provides an insurance policy in case another receiver gets injured, or perhaps the team hopes Moss could be traded to another team that finds itself in need of a veteran receiver. (Cleveland, where Moss knows the offense of coordinator Kyle Shanahan, is a destination that could make sense.) But for now, Moss remains in Washington. Which means he remains on the bench.
Mark Davis thinks the Raiders job will be "enticing" for a new coach
Raiders owner Mark Davis believes a good coach will want to work for him.
Davis, whose team fired coach Dennis Allen and promoted Tony Sparano to interim head coach today, said he believes the Raiders, thanks to a great deal of cap space, are a team that NFL coaches will be interested in coaching.
"The organization itself is in a very good position to move forward, whether Tony Sparano wins this year and becomes the permanent head coach of the Raiders or we bring in another head coach," Davis said. "I believe the salary cap, contracts, all of those things, I think we're going to have $60-$65 million in cap space next year and so it's quite an encouraging thing and enticing for a new head coach if in fact we find one and go through a search that this could be an organization they would want to be with."
Davis may be right about the attractiveness of ample cap space, but the Raiders job hasn't been enticing in many years. Getting a coach to come to Oakland may be a tougher sell than Davis realizes.
Sparano says they need to let players do what they do best
The press conference announcing the firing of a head coach and the promotion of a guy the fired coach had hired to serve as an assistant always entails some tightrope-walking by the new coach, who needs to express regret that his boss is gone while also expressing enthusiasm and preparation to embrace the challenge for cleaning up the mess that the new coach helped create.
On Tuesday, new Raiders interim coach Tony Sparano offered a clue as to how his approach may differ from Dennis Allen's.
"We've got a lot of good players here," Sparano said. "We need to let them do what they do best."
Assuming for the sake of argument that the Raiders have a lot of good players (quit laughing, Broncos, Chiefs, and Chargers fans), Sparano's comment could be interpreted as a disclosure that, under Allen, players were expected to fit the schemes. By saying that the Raiders need to let the players do what they do best, Sparano could be saying that he'll design plays and concepts based on the strengths and weaknesses of the players.
This assumes that the players have enough strengths (and sufficiently few weaknesses) for that to matter.
LaMichael James lands in Miami
Running back LaMichael James appeared to be on his way out of San Francisco for much of the offseason, but the team wound up keeping him on their roster to start the regular season.
It was a brief stay, however. James was dropped after the first week of the regular season and has been looking for work since then. One spot he looked was Miami, where he worked out for the Dolphins a couple of weeks ago.
Nothing happened at the time, but it seems James did make a positive impression on the team. James's agent Jeff Sperbeck announced on Twitter Tuesday that his client has signed with the Dolphins.
The Dolphins haven't announced anything yet and they are on their bye week, so it may be a while before we find out what kind of role they have in mind for the former 49er. Knowshon Moreno isn't thought to be far off from rejoining Lamar Miller in the backfield, so a role as a returner might be part of the plan for James in South Florida.
Raiders coach Tony Sparano "very excited about where we're going"
New Raiders interim head coach Tony Sparano says he believes he can turn the team in the right direction after an 0-4 start led to the dismissal of former coach Dennis Allen.
"I'm excited," Sparano said at his introductory press conference. "Very excited about where we're going right now, what we're trying to do."
Sparano praised Allen as an "outstanding football coach" and said it was tough to see the man who was his boss until yesterday lose his job.
"This is obviously a bittersweet moment for me right now in that a great friend of mine and a person I respect a great deal in Dennis Allen was let go," he said. "That's unfortunately part of our business but this is the situation we're in right now."
Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie also spoke highly of Allen but said the move had to be made.
"I had a good talk with Dennis," he said. "I just want to say that I appreciate everything he's done. He worked hard, very diligent, but I had to make the move and I did that yesterday. Moving forward, I'm excited to bring before you a new interim head coach, Tony Sparano. I'm excited about the experience he brings, the leadership he brings, the passion he brings to get this organization, the Raider organization, to what we need to do, and that's win."
The Raiders haven't won at all this season and haven't won consistently since the Jon Gruden days. Unless Sparano can oversee a miraculous turnaround, fans may be clamoring for a return of Gruden after Sparano coaches out the last 12 games of 2014.
More support for Harbaugh from 49ers locker room
Deion Sanders says 49ers players want coach Jim Harbaugh to go. Harbaugh says it's a bunch of crap. The jurors (i.e., the players) are beginning to chime, and the early verdict is . . . .
"He's the best coach I've ever been around," tackle Jonathan Martin said, via the San Jose Mercury News. "Even though he might be cheesy at times with slogans and sayings, his enthusiasm rubs off on players. And his record speaks for itself."
Of course, Martin would be likely to say that, since Harbaugh coached Martin at Stanford and helped resurrect Martin's pro career after he decided to walk out on the Dolphins as the result of intense bullying in 2013. But Martin, who said he has seen no evidence of discord, wasn't alone.
"Everything's great," linebacker NaVorro Bowman said. "I mean, we play, he coach. We can't really control anything else."
(It's not exactly a ringing endorsement, but it's also no evidence that players want Harbaugh gone.)
Ditto from punter Andy Lee: "I don't see that anywhere in this locker room. From my point of view, everything is normal."
And from linebacker Michael Wilhoite: "His attitude is the attitude we take. That toughness, that grind, that grit — it's been bred in us since I first got here. It was known we were going to be tough. It was known we were going to have a callous that we had built up. It was known that we were very physical, we ran the ball, we stopped the run, we played good football and we were disciplined."
So maybe Deion is simply wrong. Or maybe there's a small pocket of malcontents who won't complain about Harbaugh on the record.
Or maybe Deion is playing a psychological game with one of the various teams for which he once played, like Tom Jackson once claimed he did when picking the Jets to lose to the Patriots in the playoffs.
Regardless, Deion's "report" that the players don't like their coach seems to be galvanizing the 49ers. Maybe in February Harbaugh will snub Deion after winning the Super Bowl like Bill Belichick once did with Jackson, who had proclaimed in September that the Patriots players "hate their coach."
Jadeveon Clowney thinks he'll be back in a few weeks
The Texans are 3-1 even though they've only had rookie linebacker Jadeveon Clowney in the lineup for the first half of the first game of the season and the first overall pick in this year's draft said it has been "very tough" to be on the sideline for the last three weeks.
Clowney is recovering from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee, a procedure that left him with a four-to-six week timetable for his return to the lineup. We're closing in on the front end of that projection, but Clowney said Tuesday that it will still be a bit more time before he thinks he'll be ready for a return to action.
"Everything is starting to come along just like I want it to. … I think I'll be back in a few weeks — that's the goal," Clowney said, via the Houston Chronicle. "Right now I'm just taking it day by day, just trying to get back healthy. Rehab is coming along good. My leg feels a lot better. I'm just taking it a day at a time right now."
J.J. Watt's weekly feats of strength have made it easier to forget that Clowney is supposed to be on the field causing more havoc for opposing offenses. If he can get back without too much rust accumulating on his game and the Texans can keep winning in his absence, Clowney's return could be a big factor in how the AFC South race plays out this season.
Teddy Bridgewater held out of Vikings practice again
The Vikings have sounded optimistic, and they've sounded cautious.
The Packers are just assuming.
But those are subjective measures.
In the cold, calculating world of the NFL injury report, the news is quantifiable.
Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater did not participate in practice today, according to the Vikings' report submitted to the league. Linebacker Chad Greenway and tight end Kyle Rudolph didn't either, but that's not what you're here to read about.
With just one more day between doing nothing and playing the Packers Thursday night, the chances of Bridgewater playing might not appear great. But that's part of the reaility of short-week games anyway.
If he can't go, the Vikings would have to start Christian Ponder, and promote one of their practice squaders so they'd have a viable backup.
Belichick bears the blame for current Patriots' mess
When reporters asked Patriots coach Bill Belichick about a burgeoning quarterback controversy, he shouldn't have scoffed. He should have been grateful.
The focus on Tom Brady has kept many from looking at the guy squarely responsible for the current state of the team — Belichick himself.
The head coach and de facto G.M. has been heralded as a genius for much of the last 13 years, and rightfully so. Belichick has found a way to keep the team competitive on a consistent basis in an age of parity and a salary cap.
But the quality of the roster has eroded in recent years. The offensive line presently stinks. While the departure of long-time line coach Dante Scarnecchia likely played a role in the ability of the line to play its role the right way, the players aren't good. Which makes the decision to dump guard Logan Mankins after he refused to take a pay cut even more bizarre. Belichick miscalculated the ability of the line to thrive without Mankins, and as a result the Patriots could miss the postseason for the first time since 2008.
No one can question Belichick's coaching ability. But when it comes to handling the personnel side of the operation, he's either losing his fastball or he needs more help. Because it's not enough to find ways to trade down or to draft backup quarterbacks lower than perhaps they should have gone. At some point, the players need to be good enough to play.
Right now, they're not. And that lands at the feet of the guy who runs the show.

Telling the truth: are there limits?
Two recent talks focused on "Truth" as something good/moral. Practically, however, some information may cause havoc: the Wikileaks diplomatic data disclosure, for example, coulad have put some people at risk.
How should we manage the decision to disclose (or not) such information? Or manage the moral dilemma when telling a lie may have a positive outcome?
[update 2012/11/25] The conversation initially mixed a few things : Truth is something that is not as obvious as it seems, and Lies are more related to a deceiving/manipulative intention that to the hiding of some Truth.
Anyway, all points of views are welcome.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 24 2012: It is like a shovel; you can dig a hole or you can smash someone's head. So truth in the hands of liars becomes dangerous, but in the hands of the honest it becomes some kind of enlightment, so I think the motivation behind it is very important. People should be aware of the fact that the truth hurts, but that lies are even more painfull when they come out. If the quest for truth is your absolute motivation, then you are part of a very small group, as most people consider the absolute truth as something impossible - yes, almost as being utopic. But we should question ourselves and all the others, looking deep into the eyes - and then we should be honest - Am I a liar? Is this other a liar? And why is someone lying? Is it to protect? To prevent? Or is it lying for selfish purposes?
To me there are actually two kinds of people; the ones who want to rule theirselves and the ones who want to rule others... But if you want to rule yourself then you normally prefer the truth, as dominating others is mostly based on lies.
So it is like the clash between morality and politics, but hey, who wants to hear the truth from a politician anyway?
A good example of an honest being is the Greek philosopher Diogenes (from Sinope), he was a cynic but he just said his words. I think we all should be more like him. In a truly transparant world based on truth and justice, lies wouldn't even be necessary; so the fact that we all seem to need lies, it just proves how corrupted this society actually is.
So, even as someone who's way too honest for his own good I should say 'No, there are no limits!' And even if the truth is dangerous, I still prefer this above all the lies - as lies are just short termed certainties for people who live in fear.
Nov 24 2012: As a child I was punished for telling the truth, when the honest answer to my father's questions was not what he wanted to hear (e.g. "yes, I spilled the paint on the carpet."). So I learned to lie to protect myself from punishment. As an adult I would lie to others to avoid conflict. Many years later, I overcame this fearful compulsion and now I live life like an open book, like you, sometimes too honest for my own good.
To the original question of 'How should we manage the decision to disclose (or not) such information?' the point has to be made that often we manage the decision whether or not to tell the truth based on the degree of receptivity we expect to receive from society. American culture is ever ready to persecute people who divulge difficult truth, which turns important information into a scarce commodity sometimes. Bill Clinton got himself impeached by lying about an affair he had with Monica Lewinsky, a choice that was surely induced by fear of social punishment had he told the truth. That someone in his position (US President) would fear the judgment of the American People that much is, to me, a reflection of our intolerance of harsh realities.
I agree this society has become corrupted. People hide the truth and go to extreme lengths in the wake of great emotion to keep from talking about what is actually going on between us sometimes. Massive acts of corruption, betrayal and even treason have and will continue to take place. America needs to develop a means of rewarding the unsolicited declaration of difficult truth by reducing the social persecution we have come to expect. This would seem to have to begin with the media. Thereafter, the movement would naturally evolve into electing to powerful office those individuals who can dispassionately blurt out the truth. Such people tend to have an inner drive to live an honest life, which may or may not desribe the typical politician America recognizes as a qualified candidate today.
Nov 24 2012: I completely agree on your point of view, but as I am not an American (-> I live in Belgium) I think that it is not to me to speak about matters like this. But about Bill Clinton; the same once happened to Francois Mitterand (former French president) and he just replied with 'et alors?' ('so what?').
And this, to me, also proves the greatness of this man - even while I don't know that much about him. So I think this intolerance for harsh realities can be mellowed, just by showing yourself and truth as it really is, that most people will think like; 'ah, what the hell? At least the man is real' as it is sometimes refreshing to meet people who have this honest 'et alors'- attitude. But I also know that this might depend on the openness that various societies strive for - because there are certain differences between countries and cultures that make 'truths' acceptable, or less acceptable.
But anyway, it was a pleasure to read your reply! Truth is all that really matters!

AP Sports Writer
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Georgia is running its own version of the "Fun 'n' Gun" heading into Saturday's Southeastern Conference showdown against South Carolina.
The fifth-ranked Bulldogs (5-0, 3-0 SEC) are averaging 536 yards per game and have scored more than 40 points each time out.
Aaron Murray is an experienced, talented quarterback with plenty of capable receivers. Last week, Georgia ran about a half-dozen plays with five receivers and no running backs. But the ground game is strong, too. Freshman Todd Gurley leads the SEC, and another freshman, Keith Marshall, ranks seventh.
Murray is too young to remember Steve Spurrier's "Fun 'n' Gun" offense at Florida, but the Georgia quarterback is sure having a lot of fun as the Bulldogs prepare for their stiffest challenge yet against No. 6 South Carolina (5-0, 3-0).

Jim Cryns on Sports
It's been estimated 30 foul balls are popped into the stands on an average each Major League game. Behind the screen jobs, hooking blasts to left, slicing balls into the upper deck in right field, lasers above the dugout. Doesn't matter how they get there, it's a souvenir for the crowd. Once a ball is launched into foul territory, it's a balls-out war. Elbows start flying, big belly's move into strategic vantage points, beers are spilled, children are left to fend for themselves. Grown men . . .

Update 12 February, 2010: Valentine's details from Flirtomatic

Each O2 user signing up for a free pay-as-you-go SIM card is rewarded with FlirtPoints and a secret Valentine's Day gift (not O2 branded), which they can send on to whoever they like (not just Flirtomatic users).

All marketers planning to jump on football's mobile bandwagon over the next six months please take note.

Arguably mobile ad networks know as much about much about mobile advertising, the behavior of mobile consumers and the popularity of mobile Websites as anyone. There was a time when ad networks' mobile metrics reports only provided a small proportion of this valuable data, but that's changing fast. Now more ad networks are on the case, competition is leading to much more useful reports (particularly among the more recent entrants).

It's a baptism by fire for mobiThinking, stepping in at the last minute to host this, our first Carnival of the Mobilists. But it's a pleasure and an education to read and share the best of the mobile blogs from the past week (or so).
Apple is the fifth heavyweight to snap up a mobile ad network with the acquisition of Quattro Wireless (according to the Quattro blog on Tuesday). That's right: fifth. It's another huge endorsement of mobile advertising. Though what's significant about Apple is that, up to now, it hasn't shown any interest in advertising, mobile or otherwise.
If numerous press reports are to be believed the FTC plans to investigate Google's proposed acquisition of AdMob. If so the FTC has the opportunity to request revenue figures from the 15-20 big mobile ad networks serving the US market, hitherto unavailable to all those mobile pundits that have been speculating about who is the biggest. This means the FTC can put a stop to all the speculation… speculation that is unhelpful to a) Google/AdMob who don't want to be seen as dominant; b) all the other networks that serve the US market; c) advertisers and publishers that might be mislead into thinking size is everything when choosing an ad network.
'Tis the season for crystal ball gazing. As the year draws to a close expect every sometime mobile pundit and their dog to roll out their predictions for 2010. Most of this will be pointless drivel or marketing claptrap.
People who are allowed to make predictions for 2010:
a) Analysts – it's their job.
b) Industry associations – they should know what they're talking about.
c) er… that's it.

Since when did biggest mean best? Do you buy a car because it is the biggest? Do you buy a car because it is made by the largest car manufacturer? Or do you buy the most suitable car for your requirements (based on speed, fuel economy, looks, reliability, exclusivity, expense, price, comfort etc).

Gullicksons Oust No.6 Seeds
Published August 09, 2010 12:00
CINCINNATI, OH, USA - The doubles event at the Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open kicked off on Monday, with the first seeded team in action falling under the lights on Cincinnati's Center Court.
Check out this week's doubles rankings right here.
Alisa Kleybanova and Ekaterina Makarova, who have a Sony Ericsson WTA Tour doubles title to their credit - at Fès last year - as well as a final at the same event the year before, were the No.6 seeds in Cincy but didn't last long, falling to Americans Carly and Chelsea Gullickson in a match tie-break, 36 61 108.
Kleybanova and Makarova won the first set but couldn't maintain their success from there, losing the second set in 29 minutes and quickly falling behind 6-1 in the breaker, catching up somewhat but eventually falling to the wildcard pair.
Carly Gullickson, 23, has two career doubles titles on the Tour, as well as one Grand Slam - the mixed at last year's US Open. Chelsea Gullickson, 19, is playing her first main draw of any kind on the Tour (her only previous Tour appearance was playing the US Open qualifying in singles in 2006).
The other matches both ended in 64 76(5) scorelines, with Julie Coin and Lucie Hradecka beating Jill Craybas and Edina Gallovits and Sania Mirza and Monica Niculescu beating Jamie Hampton and Melanie Oudin.
Check out the doubles draw from Cincinnati right here.
World No.1 doubles player Liezel Huber is playing with Nadia Petrova as the No.1 seeds this week. Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta are the No.2 seeds. Also among the favorites are Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik (No.3 seeds), Lisa Raymond and Rennae Stubbs (No.4 seeds) and Wimbledon champions Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova (No.5 seeds).

Kesha Dons a Dramatic Black Dress
Kesha's floor-length dress gave her a sultry edge at the 2013 American Music Awards. The singer isn't shy about showing skin, but we love that she covered up for the red carpet. Of course, she couldn't resist popping a leg, a la Angelina Jolie.
Bringing the drama with a sultry stare.
We're loving the dramatic nails, as well!

Certified Clean:
Certified Safe:
"I know first-hand just how important is it to make sure your vehicle is both safe and clean before hitting the road," commented Joey Logano, Driver, Penske Racing. "Before every race my vehicle undergoes a similar approval process that is essential for keeping me safe. It's reassuring to know that Hertz is taking these same precautionary measures for each and every vehicle they rent."
The program was piloted at three Hertz locations: San Diego, Dulles and Cincinnati, receiving high remarks from both employees and customers on the transparency of the program. Over the coming weeks, this will become a corporate-wide protocol for all Hertz rental locations.
