Evolution is vital for survival, dear readers. Even the written lunacy of sports + thoughts, which at first glance may seem inanimate and incapable of change, must evolve to continue and thrive in its literary environment.
Nothing exists in a vacuum.
So we're starting today's column with a small programming note in an attempt to embrace the idea that evolution is, in fact, innate -- regardless of the medium in which something exists.
Programming Note: "The Morning After" tltle will be replaced.
At the advice of my trusted council, some may even call it a fellowship, I've decided to scrap the "Morning After" title in favor of simply calling my weekly column "Quick Thinking." The Morning After moniker isn't dead and will still appear from time-to-time in a different context.
In all honesty, the "Q.T." style has always been my vision, my goal...my baby.
And no one pushes baby out of the headline.

Quick Thinking
-----------------
-- I don't know who the man behind the man behind the man is, but I don't like him.
-- I'll take Roseanne Barr singing The Star-Spangled Banner over Steven Tyler singing God Bless America any day of the week.
-- You might want to step into the 21st Century and look into Auto Tune, Mr. Tyler.
-- Oh, and speaking of what century we're in: It's 2010 AD, Steven. Not 210 BC. Giving your daughter a tongue kiss on national TV is frowned upon.
-- And really creepy.
-- Unless, of course, you're Woody Allen.
-- I am the antithesis of each individual showcased on TLC's Hoarding: Buried Alive.
-- Hearing Rem Dawg doing color commentary full-time for the Red Sox again comforts me like a warm blanket.
-- Seeing Heidi Watney between innings, on the other hand, makes that same warm blanket a little bit wet.
-- HAY-OOOOOOOOO!
-- The landscape of modern day hip-hop as we know it would not be the same without the influential brilliance of Gil Scott-Heron.
-- Idiot Award of the Week goes to two unknown fools for commenting on some young lady's Facebook post about the weather with weak come-ons:
-- Guess "Nice shoes, wanna screw?" doesn't work like it used to.
-- C'mon, guys. Do better.
-- Having the bank to sign Hall of Famer Peter Gammons should give you an idea of how much revenue NESN generates for the Red Sox.
-- Everyone likes the taste of a cash cow, y'all.
-- There's no truth to the rumor that FEMA will hand out Zoo Towels to help boost state morale during the aftermath of Rhode Island's Great Flood of 2010.
-- I hope I get the monkey one.
-- Celebrity Look A Like of the Week goes to Donovan McNabb for looking like Sergeant Mertaugh from those Lethal Weapon movies during his introductory press conference for the Redskins.
-- Beats having Riggs' mullet, Mr. McNabb.
-- Also known as "My Haircut" circa 1989.
-- Curse you, Ultra Super Hold AquaNet.
-- Curse you.

I vote for a glimpse at the Riggs/author look-alike split screen shot. :)
Dear bobbiedean,
I, too, voted for a visual aid to assist with that joke. But, despite our best efforts, we haven't been able to secure any photographic evidence of said haircut.
All I can do in its absence is provide my word that -- whether the fault of the era I grew up in or driven by a naive desire to be accepted and emulating my older siblings -- my hair style of choice in the late 80's was a mullet.
Business on top.
Party in the back.
Patience is requested as we continue our search for said photos.
hahahaha! Thank you, but a visual aid is no longer required. "Party in the back." ---- that's all I needed. :)
