TMQ watch: November 29, 2011.

TMQ is back. So are we. After the jump…

“The Broncos are tearing up the NFL using high school tactics.” 935 words down.

“Tight ends are essential to Flying Elvii, Boy Scout and Moo Cow success.” 366 words down.

Kelsey just isn’t our type. Sorry.

Sweet and sour:  Oakland-Chicago, Andy Dalton to A.J. Green, Tennessee – Tampa Bay,  Stevie Johnson (hey, we think Plaxico Burress deserves taunting), Washington- Seattle.

Wacky disclaimer. Creep. Is there a Takeo Spikes curse?

Readers write: Bill Cowher won no matter who was quarterbacking, fast snapping.

We think the Steve McQueen Triumph 650 is kind of cool. Not $25,000 worth of cool, but cool. (“Expect to ship within 26 weeks.”)

“What Is the Packers’ Secret?” Tight ends and undrafted rookies, according to TMQ. TMQ has a real tight end obsession, doesn’t he? (Insert your own joke here.)

“Many major news organizations did not even report that last month the final B53 city-buster nuclear bomb was disassembled.” Interesting. We remember reading articles about it in Time and the New York Times.

“New Orleans completely outplayed Jersey/A”. Wow. What was your first clue: the 49-24 final score?

Could somebody please explain to us what point TMQ is trying to make in his “In Praise of Party-Crashing the BCS” item? Because we can’t figure out what he’s trying to say. It seems to be something about quick snaps being good.

“”Of the four major team sports, football benefits the most from television.” 207 words down.

Christmas creep. The advantages of punting out of bounds, instead of to Devin Hester or Patrick Peterson.

TMQ continues to grind away, attempting to find humor in the idea that MIT has sports teams and failing miserably.

Percy Harvin runs a kickoff 104 yards, doesn’t score, and then Minnesota fails to score on four plays. These are your Vikings, ladies and gentlemen.

The EPA reports a 67 percent decline since 1980 in the six common pollutants that contribute to smog. Volatile organic compounds, the worst smog malefactor, are down 63 percent since 1980. This progress has occurred in the same period that the U.S. population has risen 36 percent, meaning per-capita pollution is spectacularly lower, and while vehicle miles-driven have risen 96 percent, meaning smog went sharply down even as driving went sharply up. Did you even know that air pollution has declined, under Republican and Democratic administrations alike? The media rarely mention this, because it’s good news.

Chicken-<salad> kicks: Kansas City.

So even the refs are confused about the new overtime rules? More evidence for WCD’s position: a straight 15 minute overtime, whoever is ahead at the end wins, if both teams are still tied, either declare a tie or play until someone wins (if the game has playoff implications).

Wisconsin-Whitewater 41, Franklin 14.  Pittsburg of Kansas 31, Washburn 22. Stony Brook 31, Albany 28.

Single worst game of the season so far: Giants vs. New Orleans.

That’s all for this week. Tune in next week, when TMQ looks for a chance to drag his 1972 Miami Vikings out of AutoText.
