ARIES (March 21-April 19): Implement work you've done in the past with a new twist. Someone from your past is thinking about you. Consider visiting places you used to go to often, and you may run into someone with whom you can reconnect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Look at what's being offered, not what isn't. Sometimes you have to give up a little to get ahead. Show your lighter side, and you will gain support and finagle your way into a better position.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don't be fooled by love. Someone may not have your best interests at heart. If you do a lousy job, cutting corners so that you can take off and party, expect to pay for it in the end. Instead, do everything properly.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don't ponder over things too long. Tie up loose ends before the weekend to alleviate the stress that accompanies not finishing what you start. Talks and negotiations will go better than anticipated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You've got everyone listening and watching to see what you'll say and do next. Don't disappoint the crowd - give them exactly what they want. In the end, you will discover you have enough talent and finesse to triumph in any situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Before you complain, criticize, or point your finger at someone, make sure you have your facts straight. That way, you won't have to backtrack and make amends. Overreacting will lead to sudden changes you won't like.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your involvement in something you believe in will help you in terms of the people you meet and the favors that are offered. A creative twist will result in a favorable development in your love life. Get whatever you want in writing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don't let your emotions take over or lead you down an uncertain path. Walk away from any situation that doesn't live up to your expectations. You are worth a whole lot more than you give yourself credit for.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you aren't honest or try to put the blame for something you did elsewhere, you will have difficult questions to answer. Focus on love and your hobbies, staying out of other people's business.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Before you sign on the dotted line or put down your money, reflect on past experience. There is a small but important change to make in order to turn an adequate deal or undertaking into a fabulous one. Do your homework.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You need to be a part of something that contributes to the beliefs, traditions, or code of ethics you adhere to. Love is on the rise, and a promise can be made that will make you feel at ease about your future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have to stay in touch, on top, and together, no matter whom you are dealing with. Control will make or break the end result. A firm hand, a solid plan, and a little of your own cash will be what it takes.

Things I've Learned From Watching ESPN

by Matt Gorman


- Momentum is the single most powerful force in the game of football. If you have the momentum, there is nothing the other team can do to stop you, except shift the momentum in its favor, which is apparently very easy.

- Brett Favre is good because he's having fun and smiling and having fun. He's also old, but he's acting young because he's having fun. He's also having fun.

- Holiday puns must be repeated ad nauseam. Every sports victory within two days of Thanksgiving will be referred to as a "feast."

- Competitive eating is now considered a sport on par with poker, dominos, bowling, and golf.

- Football commentators don't understand how gears work. If you go from first to fifth, you're not going to speed up very fast.

- I'll never understand a single word Lou Holtz says.

- It might have stopped play for 30 minutes and the ball was only moved one yard, but the important thing is that they got the call right.

- The SEC is the best conference in football - that's why there are so many in-conference upsets.

- The Big Ten is the worst major conference in football - that's why there are so many in-conference upsets.

- Polls are pointless in the preseason and first few weeks … now, here's the 2008 preseason football poll …

- You don't have to be incredibly annoying to work for ESPN, but it sure helps.
