Poor Bill Hinds — wrote the strips before it came out that the referee never actually recorded the pressure of the balls, that only one ball was ACTUALLY 2 lbs under PSI, and that that particular ball was in the hands of the Colts and handed over BY them to the officials with the Colts screaming “Cheater! Cheater!”
Riiiiiight. Because the Colts — owned by convicted drug trafficker Bob Irsay — are a wholly disinterested, neutral party. Riiiiight. Go ahead, someone prove that the Colts didn’t slip a needle in FIRST before turning that ball over.
It was Abby. Abby what? Abby normal. Igor, give me a hand with the bags. Certainly, you take the blond, I’ll take the one in the turban. Humph? What humph?
Meanwhile, back at today’s strip…..I love the art on this one and also the concept. All the talk about how the best backs run downhill, but the New England’s opponents (also known as Belichick’s "enemies’) would suddenly find themselves running UP a steeper and steeper inclined plain. Which I’d be inclined to look the other way about……….
Until the end of the 1999-2000 season, the field at Easter Road in Edinburgh (home to soccer’s Hibernians) was slanted like that; the north end was 6 feet lower than the south end.
Meanwhile, today’s the last day for SJOTY nominations. I’ll go with Vanessa-Mae, the violinist who finished last in the giant slalom at the Olympics before being disqualified for cheating, having found eight different ways to rig Olympic qualifiers in Slovenia.
I didn’t even know there were eight different ways to rig ski races.

That’s Marty Feldman as Igor in Young Frankenstein (1974).

Belichick didn’t take the air out of the footballs to make them easier to catch. He took the air out to further inflate his ego.

Pats fans are a strange, touchy bunch. Wouldn’t want to be one.

Remember the Ice Bowl when Green Bay turned off the field heater whenever the Cowboys had the ball?
