Hornswaggler | The culture, the humor, a bit of the sports, not so much the politics, and the workplace distraction

Hornswaggle is an alternate spelling of hornswoggle, an archaic word that means to bamboozle or hoodwink. I take my pronunciation from the late Harvey Korman in "Blazing Saddles" --

"I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, conmen, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists!"

Eagles

Terrell Owens' biffing and neglecting to file the necessary paperwork to become a free agent actually plays in the Eagles' favor. He's burned his bridges in San Fran, so they'll be looking to trade him. Give the Niners Todd Pinkston and the 2005 second round draft pick we're going to get for A.J. Feeley, and we'll take Owens at a substantially lower price than he would have commanded on the open market.

And no, Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Darnerian McCants of the Redskins is not an acceptable free agency acquisition. He's not in the same league as Justin McCareins.
