Hearing U2 and Green Day come to New Orleans
Jags-Steelers Is a Real Slobber-Knocker
This old video, via Dave's Football Blog, is of Jaguars D-lineman John Henderson getting ready for a game by having a trainer-type smack him in the face. Repeatedly. It's one of my favorite clips of all time, and, judging by the hard hitting and low scoring of tonight's Monday Nighter (0-0 at the half), I think both defenses stole a page from Henderson's pre-game script.
And if you've had enough of Joe Theismann's inane commentary and Tony Kornheiser's vain attempts to add anything of substance to the broadcast, head over to MJD's MNF live blog over in the NFL FanHouse. For a small sampling of what you can expect, here's my favorite line from the first half:
"Oh good, medical diagrams. We just got an in-depth look at a healthy appendix vs. Ben Roethlisberger's gooned up appendix. And, according to the diagrams, Ben Roethlisberger has no pubic hair. I expect Michelle Tafoya to investigate this further at halftime."
Speaking of Big Ben's bad luck, and regardless of the outcome of this game, both he and Byron Leftwich "love them some bicycles."
Update: MJD's Kornheiser Chronicles do not give TK a passing grade this week. In fact, he used Trent Dilfer as a point of comparison. Ouch. But, hey, I can't say I disagree.

Hey Monpon,
I first heard the term "slobber knocker" used by Joe Bugel, the offensive line/Hogs coach for the Redskins. I love that man. -
Remember "Dirty Harry," where the villain hired some huge black guy to beat him up so that he could claim Eastwood did it to him? This looks like that same event, occurring on Bizzarro World.
I'll go out on a ledge and ask you if you know how and from whom the term "Slobberknocker" came into prominence?
