The man who rode the on coat tales of one of the best Quarterbacks ever and thought he was a genius has finally been fired.

In a release sent to 7NEWS, Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen said today he relieved Mike Shanahan from his position as executive vice president of football operations/head coach of the National Football League team, effective immediately.

Good.

On your own TV show.
By and old man.
Who happens to be the father of the bit of fluff to your right.
The last few minutes are priceless.

Last night durning his show I was telling him about this, so I figured I would hunt down a vid, and it is Way better than that stupid Hanukkah song, IMHO. The Album is a fun little fusion of many musical genres (I also like A la Luz De La Lela) as heard here last Saturday on NPR.

So, now that Rick Warren’s church has decided to “scrub” most of the, shall we say, “less” inclusive” anti-gay statements from from its website, perhaps it would be nice if someone decided to remind President-Elect Obama, what “inclusve” really means, from one of the best scenes in Babylon 5:

Blasphemy, the Board Game:

In Blasphemy you take part in the fate of a would-be Messiah. Your aim is to convince your compatriots that your Jesus, and your Jesus alone, is the genuine article.
To accomplish this, your Jesus must cut as impressive a figure as possible. He must give stirring sermons, perform miracles, attract devoted followers, and generally carry on in a Messiah-like fashion. Your Jesus must make every effort to discredit his rivals, and in the end, he must get himself killed. Yes, alas, the price of fame was dear in those days. It was clearly written that the Messiah would come to a sticky end. Accordingly, you win the game if you’re the first player to get your Jesus nailed up. Blasphemy is the race to the cross!

To the geek in me it seems a lot like the Life of Brian, the board game and I somehow see Dave winning the whole “Stirring Sermon” portion of the game.

Why did no one tell me that Dervla Kirwan was going to be the Villian in the Dr. Who Christmas Special?
