the cable guy finally came and swapped out the ill-tempered cable box. it's nice to be back in the digital age. i had forgotten what jackasses most nfl announcers are. after about 2 minutes (real time - 28 seconds of game time) i remember. so that didn't take long.
vikings facing third and 41 and brad johnson dumps it off into the flat for a gain of 6. plus Mike Tice is claiming he blew out his knee in a freak play on the sideline. i'm looking forward to reading about that tomorrow. you can add all this misery to the vikings season of superbness. the particulars on that are available somewhere else. just google "vikings sex scandal randy moss superbowl scalping". or you can google "stupidity" and you'll probably get there just as quickly. we have more important things to discuss, like text vs. subtext.
blog update: vikings return a punt for a touchdown. they already returned a kickoff and an interception for a touchdown. the offense is still scoreless. nice. for the record, brad johnson isn't looking very good. but neither was Culpepper before he got hurt.
text vs. subtext is one of my little pet topics. here's a real world example: you're talking to a girl and you ask for her phone number. she says "sure!" but her face looks like she just got crapped on by a pelican. the text of the message suggests that she is glad to share her number and she's looking forward to talking to you again real soon. the subtext is her expression and tone, which indicates that, on the whole, she'd really rather not. there is always a lot more information communicated in the subtext of a message than in the text. more on this in future blogs.
bears - niners? I bet my buddy a twack (twelve pack) of PBR that the niners would win the game. I lost a similar bet last year w/ a dolphins fan. it looks like I'll be buying beers again this year. because the niners aren't very good (subtext: the niners are the worst team in the league, with no end in sight).
johnson underthrew yet another open receiver. announcer says that he feels more comfortable throwing the ball down the field. good for him. too bad his arm strength is pennington-esque.

Chicago subtext: few hours before sf rout, pvd removed the roof and set it down a blocks away using only two power-books and a mixer. Not a single piece of wax on site.
