The Word of Bowers You don't have to agree with me, just accept I'm probably right.

Random ramblings

Nothing really comes to mind today that would warrant an entry by itself, so I figured I'd throw out just a few random thoughts on this lovely Tuesday afternoon!

- Just saw a story about four people in Fayetteville who were found dead of apparent gunshot wounds.  Police say they do not suspect foul play.  How is it possible that four people (including two juveniles) were found shot to death, in the same place mind you, and it's not foul play? 

-Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes was suspended for the first half of UF's next football game after attempting to gouge the eyes of an opposing player.  Why is it that the good players at the bigger schools either: a.) get suspended for a half as opposed to the whole game, or b.) get suspended for the games against the bad teams?  If you're going to be that transparent, why even suspend them?

-The Panthers won a big game this past weekend against Arizona, the defending NFC champions.  Jake Delhomme threw the ball 15 times, threw a touchdown pass, and didn't turn the ball over.  The Panthers also forced six turnovers (including five interceptions...poor Kurt Warner) and ran for 270 yards.  If they keep doing that, they may make a surge.

Here's the thing: this is how the Panthers are built to play: a very strong running game, a strong defense, and a passing game that doesn't depend on the quarterback too much (which limits his chances to commit turnovers).  They've had three seasons where they did that very well: 1996, 2003, and 2008, and guess what?  They won the division all three of those years. 

-My computer at work has decided to start acting crazy, especially when it comes to Microsoft Outlook.  Because of this (and because of improved features in GMail), I've decided to move everything over to GMail.  If you've never had chance to import 10,000 messages from one account to another, be glad.  It sucks.

-My friend Terence wrote last night/this morning about love and what that means.  He poses a very interesting question, and I'm not sure I can answer it myself.  I think I may try to at some point soon, though.  Thoughts?

I think that's all for now.  Holler!
