"If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's going to stop 'em."

Yesterdays post was an acrostic of sorts (hence the allusion to a riddle). Did anyone get it?
Randy Tessier, a lecturer in LSA and unit
chair for the Lecturer's Employee Organization, performs with the band FUBAR at the LEO informational rally Thursday in Regents Plaza. In February LEO filed a formal grievance against the university over the 2 percent salary increase Ann Arbor campus union members received in September 2008, saying the raise violated the collective bargaining agreement. LEO wants U-M to issue an additional 2.1 percent increase retroactively to the 900 affected LEO members on the Ann Arbor campus. The university says the raise was consistent with the language of the contract that expires in May 2010. The current grievance is moving through a three-step process that culminates in binding arbitration. On Wednesday the union asked the university to move the process into the arbitration phase.

Dear fellow Yooper football fans:
The Bears went out and got Jay Cutler, what have the Packers done? Yes, Cutler’s a cry baby, but letting go of an A+ quarterback on a team with the worst defense in the universe is not the way to go. It’s going to be a long year in Denver.
Here’s my advice to the Bears, try and acquire Plaxico Burress at all costs! The Giants made a big mistake in letting him go. Anyone who doubts this need only look at the Giants performance without him. To a man, his teamates have nothing but good things to say about him.
The Giants may be thinking he’s going to jail, which I seriously doubt, considering New York State has loosened up it’s Draconian sentencing laws. Besides, as bone-headed as shooting yourself in the leg may be, I don’t think it deserves jail time.
Also, the idea that moral character has anything to do with playing ability is just flawed thinking. I’ll take a team with Joe Namath, O. J. Simpson, Ray Lewis, Terrell Owens, and Randy Moss any time.

And I would take a team with Joe Montana, Ray Nitschke, Barry Sanders, Lynn Swan and Raymond Berry. (which players would you rather coach). Like I said I do think the Bears Should go after Plaxico. I am not real pleased with my Packers sitting on their hands in the off season. I will still be willing to put a bottle of scotch on each Packer/Bear Game.I think you may have the edge this year.
Dear Mr. Mcgoo:
Of course I would take the team you mentioned. If we're talking about Moss, Owens, and Burress,they're a headache to coach. From what I know about Simpson and Lewis, they were not a problem to coach (hey! no smoking on the sidelines, coach). My point was that moral character has little to with being a good football player, or airplane pilot, or brain surgeon, for that matter. As for the Pack, I love Rodgers, and I thought their D showed up MOST of the time. The Bears getting Cutler has the intangible benefit of not relying on the D to carry the season. You've watched football long enough to know that even the best defense runs out of gas late in the season if they're left on the field for 60 minutes.

Are we on for the bet?
Dear Mr.Mcgoo and Bill Debroux too.
Tim you're on for the single-malt (Poss always loved Glen Livet). If the Bears get some receivers (they should have never let Bernard Berrian go), they run away with the division.

I shall hold back comment until the draft.
