Couple of things

- As the Braves continue a most awkward and, quite honestly, unexpected slide, Terrance Moore pens a column which touches on some things discussed earlier here, namely that for the vast majority of Atlanta, the population is rather indifferent to the successes of the team (and all of its sports teams). I think there's plenty of truth to that argument, even if Moore, as usual, is a bit over-the-top in his pronouncements.

- Notre Dame riding a wave of (financial) success on their name? Shocking, I know. Won't we be presenting them the national championship trophy prior to the opener with Georgia Tech. You know, just go ahead and get it out of the way?

- Please ... let it rain.

- The Wife and I picked up the complete movie channels package from Charter a few weeks ago through some unusual and incredibly affordable deal the company was offering, and safe to say those 20-plus channels now dominate our evenings. This has freed me up to watch such new, modern classics like National Treasure, By Dawn's Early Light, The Wedding Date and The Girl Next Door.

- Seriously though, The Girl Next Door was most entertaining. Hillary told me yesterday she didn't find it funny, but I thought it had its moments. Plus, that Elisha Cuthbert is quite an attractive young woman. The Wife asked if she would crack my Top Five, and I felt fairly confident if re-polled today, she would (as an aside, The Wife's Top Five begins and ends with George Clooney ... and I can respect that).

- Georgia Sports Blog is doing a bang-up job keeping tabs on Georgia could possibly add as an opponent for 2007. I'm still lobbying for Penn State, though that's not too likely. Though Texas A&M would be kinda cool too. He also ranks the SEC stadiums by toughest-to-play, and sticks Tennessee at No. 2. I'd agree with LSU No. 1, but put Florida at No. 2 (though my only reservation is the Gators have struggled there since Steve Spurrier left).

- Attention everyone ... today is Russ's birthday, so be sure to wish him well. Plus that fella is heading off to Chicago in a week or so, so there's that.

Oh, I haven't seen The Girl next Door. I was talking out my ass.

Super and slowly growing older. As are you ... and, I suppose, are all of us.

The Girl Next Door is actually a very funny movie, I thought. The Kelly character (Elisha Cuthbert's ex-boyfriend/porn producer) is hilarious. I have HBO in my apartment for the summer, and whenever that movie comes on I can't help but watch it.

I was a big fan of the two sidekicks, particularly the one with film school aspirations. While I was out looking for a birthday gift for Mr. Shearer last night, I stumbled across the DVD on sale. Couldn't resist buying it, as well as a few others.
