I want to love "Gods & Generals" because I loved "Gettysburg" and "The Killer Angels" upon which it was based. So when "G&G" was released, I bought my ticket, sat back, and waited to be mezmerized.

I'm still waiting. It was one of the most long-winded, poorly-written, just plain boring movies I've ever seen - and again, I LOVE the subject matter. I desperately wanted it to be great, and it simply wasn't even close. It might have had historical accuracy, but what it needed more was a film editor and a script writer.

And the buzz about Black is turning into a runaway train, if Nick's filing here is to be believed. Said he didn't let a ball touch the ground. 

Let's not let a couple of his great acrobatic catches fool us: Darboh was good but not great at getting everything thrown his way. If Black is able to win jump-ball battles the way his spring has promised he is going to be a monster.

"Have you heard of this new sect, the Christians? First of all, they are so poor that they only have *one* God! But we Romans are rich. We've got a lot of gods. We've got a god for everything. The only thing we don't have a god for is premature ejaculation... but I hear that's coming quickly."

I'm still praying for History of the World Part 2 to get greenlighted. But, you know, without Dom Deluise, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Gregory Hines, and about 90% of the rest of the cast already "no longer with us," it might not be quite the same...

I was surprised by the sheer amount of info generated by a helmet only practice.   Some good filler material regarding Black, Runyan, and Hudson.   I devoured it, but find myself wanting more.   The season opening kickoff is right around the corner, right?

and good to still get some football news this time of year. Still feel there is a lot of competition ahead for all positions and let the cream rise to the top by September.
