Clothesline
I was less interested in watching most of the NFL games this Sunday since I’d (a) watched the dramatic Falcons win on Saturday night in person and (b) was elminated from the playoffs in Leroy the Hoard FFL. So I was half-interested in the Packers v. Jaguars game yesterday afternoon, waiting for that wacky Ricky Williams interview on 60 Minutes. What Donovin Darius did to Robert Ferguson was obscene. Disgusting. He got thrown out of the game, but he deserves a very serious fine. I swear, it looked like Ferguson was hit in such a way he might never walk again. Thank goodness, while he lost feeling in his legs for a while, reports are that he’ll be OK. He spent the night in the hospital. Let’s hope the NFL has Darius spend some serious time in the doghouse for a hit the announcers said they hadn’t seen in the NFL since the 60s.

Taking advantage of ‘the light sensitivity of seedling grass and its ability to record complex photographic images,’ these artists are creating site installations of photos captured on grass seedlings. These are serious artists – their work is, for example, on display at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
