Inception?

So after I had lunch and watched The Notebook today, I was rifling through some of my more English majory books and stumbled upon my copy of Edgar Allen Poe: The Complete Stories. Naturally, I thumbed through the index searching for a shorter work, but also one that went with the theme of the film I had just viewed. So I scanned the titles, waiting for one to jump out at me as having an obvious theme of love. After a minute or so, I spotted Eleonora, a six page marvel that was sure to be about Poe's young love. To my surprise (sarcasm) I found that the beginning spoke of madness, but Poe compared madness to dreams. "Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence - whether much that is glorious - whether all that is profound - does not spring from disease of thought... They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night" (Poe 530).  My mind quickly jumped from love to dreams, so in finishing the story I searched famous poetry featuring dreams.  Who would have guessed that three down from the top of the list was Edgar Allen Poe again with his poem "A Dream Within a Dream."  I read it and immediately thought this has aspects of Christopher Nolan's film Inception.  Being stranded within a dream landscape "Of a surf-tormented shore..." (Poe), is exactly the existence which Leo is contained to in the film.  Read the poem for yourself, then watch the film.  Thats it for now, just thought is was interesting.  

Love and CRABs,

NY Jets- Who Goes, Who Stays?

Being the huge Jets fan that I am I love to talk about them all of the time. Almost as much as I like to talk about Brett Favre. Anyway, so Holmes is a problem, Plax didn't produce, Sanchez is awful, Shotty can't call plays, Shonn Greene isn't very good, and our o-line takes some abuse. I can't believe I even believed we could make playoffs. Anyway, there are only a few players we must keep and they are Revis, Mangold, Cromartie, Moore, Ferguson, and yep thats it. I think Eric Smith needs to go and Jim Leonard can stay but needs some improvement. Our defense slacked a lot this year and we can't cover tight ends for crap. We have no pass rush either. I feel like Rex needs to spend more time on his defense and hire an offensive coordinator that knows what he's doing. A Rex defense with a new, Sanchezless offense could bring NY a superbowl.



Possible Ideas:

5). Sign new safeties (Smith needs to go before Leonard, but both are replaceable)
4). Upgrade pass rush- Add one big player and change the face of the defense. I also think Bart Scott should stay. (Can't wait)
3). Dish Holmes and don't sign Plax. (Keep Kerley as the #3, SIGN DWAYNE BOWE, and either force Holmes to man-up or sign a veteran to a 2 year deal. Reggie Wayne, Owens? Moss?! yes please even though Wayne would want like a 4-5 year deal. Also could figure out a way to get Justin Blackmon)
2). Get rid of Sanchez AND Brian Schottenheimer (they BOTH suck) Sanchez deserves blame, a lot of Jets fans are in denial of this because they are dumb.
1). FRICKIN GET PEYTON MANNING. Good land Rex, don't be so kissy faced with Sanchez. Bench him and get Peyton, or deal him. Stop being foolish.



There are a lot of huge free agents out there. I would personally trade Shonn Greene and try to sign Forte or Rice even though I hate them both and they both will stay with their teams most likely. Lynch would also be a good fit for ground and pound if Rex would go back to that; although I see no point considering we can get Peyton. If we stick with Sanchez (Smh) go back to ground and pound and get a new RB. I like LT for the screen pass and the short dish so I wouldn't mind bringing him back. I wish we would have just kept T. Jones and Leon Washington though...jeez. Alright well I could talk all day but I don't feel like it so PACE.

NFL MVP(T.N.B.F)

Hello CRABbers,
Two friends of mine and I were discussing the 2011-2012 NFL season and we realized that there is one true MVP this year. Might as well call this hall-of-famer the MVPE- Most Valuable Player Ever, because he is and always will be. Ladies and CRABlings, I present the MVP of the 2011 Season:



DANG STRAIGHT it's BRETT FAVRE, the greatest quarter back of all time and second greatest human being second to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (I want to quickly affirm that I love Jesus and my love for Favre is not lie-crossing like Len's love for Boy George or Drew Carrey).

So that leaves us with this question...who is the MVPTNBF? Who is the MVP thats not Brett Favre. Well I'll tell you my opinion.



Setting Records by breaking Dan Marino's heart. Love it. Love Brees. Can't stand Marino and his stupid dolphins who beat my Jets at least once a year. Agh I hate them more than the patriots. SO congrats Brees and in my opinion you are the leagues most valuable player with Rodgers being a very close second.

I want to also send an honorable mention to two players, pictured below.





For the newbs: top is Eric Berry, bottom is Bob Sanders

PACE! - J.G
