Vote for the Monster NFL Director of Fandemonium

Harrison, who set a record during the Super Bowl with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown, said he will skip the customary visit with the President of the United States. Why will Harrison pass on the invite to meet Barack Obama?

This is what Harrison told Andrew Stockey of WTAE Channel 4 Action News: “This is how I feel — if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don’t win the Super Bowl. As far as I’m concerned, he would’ve invited Arizona if they had won.”

Wow. Just wow.

Harrison apparently doesn’t get the concept that the team that wins the Super Bowl gets an invite from the President to meet at the White House.

Wow.

The 33-year-old wide receiver will now be under contract until after the 2013 season. Prior to this extension, Ward was going to be a free agent after the end of the 2009 NFL season.

Even as Ward’s speed has declined, he remains a very good wide receiver. He’s regarded by many as the best blocking wideout in the NFL and he has a knack for coming up with the key catches when needed most.

Last season, Ward had 81 catches for 1,043 yards and seven touchdowns. The best year of his career came in 2002 when he had 112 catches, 1,329 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.

Ward has also become an emotional leader that the rest of the team looks to during tough times. This contract, which will save Pittsburgh some money in the short-term, is worth every penny for the Steelers.

The office has been a bit desolate for a while. So Colleen is taking over Office Tweaks. Join me in welcoming him.

Jason introduces us to the Super Bowl Single Girl. Pardon the dumb question, but why would anyone want to raise $3M and pay it to some television network? Aren’t Mr. Right’s for sale anymore? The big cynical question is: what if she realizes that she isn’t interested in Mr. Right? This comedienne is funny. So I wish her the best.

Claire wants you to take the Linux Graphics Survey 2008. What’s in it to you? Take these tips for Ubuntu users as a gift.

Jason has a tutorial to easily import table data into Excel from, say, a web page. Could use it some day, but I’m more interested in the reverse process.

How would you feel about a URL that is mysterious about what it can contain? I think it can be one of the types of spam. Jayvee thinks that stripping away those preconceptions can also be a refreshing browsing experience. A debate is slowly brewing up at his post. Come join us.

Juan is excited that Barack uses Mac. I’m more excited about this MacBook X-ray. What a geek!
