Screenshot Image from NFL.com 1) Criticism of Colin Kaepernick has gone beyond insane. People have to recognize and acknowledge the obvious fact that he had no one to throw to last week and how that has been a problem with injuries to Michael Crabtree, Mario Manningham and Vernon Davis, with Anquan Boldin slowing down as well. I think with Manningham's second week back from absence and Davis being cleared to play that he will lead them to a huge win in New Orleans of all places, the site of where they lost to the Ravens in the Super Bowl in February. 2) Key day for Andy Dalton for sure. He has to be the "good Andy," not the bad one today for Cincy. For me, I say that he will be his good self and give the Bengals a vital bounce back win in the battle of Ohio. 3) For me today, this is already a "Do or Die" game for the Jets, even with the Colts doing them a favor in coming back to beating the Colts. 4) Robert Griffin sure would love to shut up Darrell ...

(Image from FIFA.com) UEFA World Cup Playoffs  For the playoffs, France are in supreme trouble and turmoil after building fine momentum the last time out for Ukraine, as Dnipro forward Roman Zozulya certainly added to his growing reputation by being the man to score the goal and set up the penalty for a long second half for Didier Deschamps. Zozulya was Koscielny, Abidal, and Lloris' nightmare throughout the two hours, and the Arsenal centerback's frustration erupted by getting a stupid red card in the dying minutes of the game. That may just cost France a trip to Brazil 2014. What a stunner in Kiev. Cristiano Ronaldo again showed why he is Portugal's heart, soul, and head (literally again) for his country by being in the right place on Miguel Veloso's great cross to get by Martin Olsson and finish pass by Andreas Isaksson. Still, Sweden were a firm threat in the first half beyond Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and will feel confident to go back to Stockholm and get the ...

Yes folks, as most of you have seen, I am joining Pierre Omidyar's new news website, which will be coming very soon. It would not have been possible without Glenn Greenwald , who was the one who informed me to this novel venture. As you see the list of people joining this site, I have to thank Glenn again for being so immense for telling me this and offering me a chance at great fledgling place. I also want to thank Jeremy (Scahill) , who has been really terrific to me since meeting him in person in 2009. He is a really great person who does care for people, especially the downtrodden. The same goes for Liliana (Segura) , and though I haven't met sir Dan Froomkin in person , he has always been a major influence to me as well, just for what he has gone through in the wild world that is the Beltway media, centrist insanity. A major shoutout to Alex Iwashyna, Riebeil Durley-Petty, James Eddy and Janet Wu for writing for this small website, or blog, when you didn...

More later on information that most of you know about me from this morning, but for any new fans of this page, or for those who don't know me, here is a feature normally present at The Whole Delivery. It's the Flashback Fridays, a staple of TWD Fridays, to end your work week in some sort of bliss, especially if it was difficult. It is a look back at classic music videos, especially if they took place 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years ago. So with that said, here is one of this week's choices, again, it is the wonderful Alanis Morissette's charismatic hit song "Ironic" from 1996. Incredibly enough, she is only 39 right now. More to come for The Whole Delivery on this enthralling Friday, in a bit. Please, stay tuned.
