Memo to Devin Hester:

• Back⋅ward [bak-werd]
–adverb Also, backwards.
1. toward the back or rear.

• For⋅ward [fawr-werd]
–adverb Also, forwards.
1. toward or at a place, point, or time in advance; onward; ahead: to move forward; from this day forward; to look forward.

They are not the same.

More later,


Mark

P.S. Thanks to the fine folks at Dictionary.com for helping me help Devin.

Seriously!!! Paul was screaming a steady stream of blue language which was interspersed with the word... backwards?? BACKWARDS?? His heart couldn't take anymore and he switched the channel and watched Star Wars instead.

It was painful to watch. I fear a plummet toward infamy is under way...

Im pretty much done with Lovie. Take 2006 out of the mix when they had a pretty easy schedule and this is a routinely sub-par team. I will never forget the Ron Rivera firing (let alone the Thomas Jones deal).
