Like many of Radiohead's albums I think Kid A takes a few listens to in order to fully appreciate the album. There is always so many layers and so much going on that the first few times through is always a little disorienting. Kid A has been one of my favorite and most played albums since it came over over 10 years ago and I still find new things in the songs.

I think about deleting my account a lot. But I work in a profession that requires constant networking and I've literally gotten several jobs through Facebook.

I'm a huge football fan and I don't know anything about some magical "Hallelujah" Tim Tebow pass.

Dan is trying to say "Hail Mary". The context fits. A Hail Mary pass is a desperation heave into the end zone to try to win the game as the final seconds of the clock run out.

Hallelujah pass? I think the term you're looking for is "Hail Mary".

Well, the problem is that there is a very fine line where "actor" and "aspiring actor" is concerning how much money we make.

I can't support myself on just my acting gigs but I work fairly regularly. That doesn't make me an "aspiring actor"--I work professional jobs regularly--but if I didn't keep a day job I would have a pretty shitty lifestyle.

Terrell Owens was the problem in that locker room not Jessica Simpson.

And she wasn't the problem with Tony Romo as we've come to find out through the seasons, Tony Romo just can't rise up to the pressure.

Hey Clemons, not the smartest thing to to air homophobic comments when you play for gay friendly Seattle.

@2

The past few season Clemons has been a stud. But he's 32 now and just suffered a horrible knee injury in the playoffs making his return this season very questionable and even more questionable that he will ever play at a high level.

In fact, the Seahawks just brought in two talented prospects to possibly replace him and drafted a young guy last year to absolutely develop and replace him. Dude is expendable and I will be very surprised if he plays another down in a Seahawks uniform.

@90 Really? The opening sentence suggests to me that this is a story about how a reporter was detained and almost arrested. That he was investigating a story about aPodments is a DETAIL related to a story about how a reporter was detained and almost arrested.

Reading comprehension is your friend.
