I'll tell you, it's taking all my time, to watch these Star Wars trailers 80 or 90 times apiece..... Anybody think Luke Skywalker is Kylo Ren??? Maybe Kylo Ren is Luke's Son??? WHO ELSE WOULD HAVE THAT HELMET?????
Ahem.... Sorry about that. Football. Right, right, Football.....
Alright, let's take a look at our winners.
Week 5: Bullldogs Rule! Congrats! Butt kicking right there, it was over Sunday afternoon....
Week 6: Studmonkey! Hey, congrats! May I point out that I was 5th??? I know, right?? Your Fearless Leader, celebrating a dominating 5th place finish. I've totally given up on the Cowboys, and even that hasn't helped my picking.... We had the Memorial Moment of Silence for the Cowboys Season weeks ago.... Apparently Jerrah didn't get the memo....
Week 7: Smitty201!! I TOLD you guys to look out.... I toldja! You wouldn't listen.... That's okay, live & learn.... Lurking.... 5th for the Season.... I guess I'd be remiss if I didn't say that DJS26, Studmonkey, and Elusive are your leaders in the clubhouse..... DJS has probably moved twice since my last blog, so, maybe the money will go unclaimed..... And Elusive is permanently installed at the Butler Inn, hitting on that bartender..... So who knows....
(Joking)
Game is getting ready to start. I see this commercial, not only does this guy marry a Bears Fan, but there appears to be some disagreement about whether or not to raise this kid as a Packer fan or a Bear fan.... Are you kidding me?? Who marries a Bears Fan??? Who allows their offspring to be raised as a Bears fan??? Good God, call social services.....
(HighZ and Halftag are typing VERY angry emails right now..... Okay, I was 35% joking, settle down...)
Ahem, anyways...
Week 8: Bulldogs Rule! omfg, again??? Nah, nice job man. Nice. Hey, Erin07 was second, by 1 point, and I was 3rd (3rd!!!) myself, by 2 points. Just sayin. Actually, Erin07 and I were at a rifle range all day Sunday, and saw no football..... I'm not gonna speak for Erin07, but maybe I need to stop watching games.... I'll just, wax my truck or something, I dunno....
See that?? That's a 9-shot group, under an inch.... Center of the Prairie Dog.... That's how we do it....
Cheerleader Update:
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, despite their season being completely over, continue to exhibit Cheerleader Professionalism and cheer for the team.... Very nice.
I can't find a Bengals Cheerleader picture.... No wonder I had no idea they had cheerleaders.... Anyways, they continue to be undefeated.... Despite my snarky comments a month ago.... Let me state clearly for the record, I CANNOT WAIT to wager against Cincy in the Playoffs. I can't wait. I hope they're 16-0 when they lose as 12 point favorites....
Anyways, should we try a little live blogging, during this Packer game??? Sure, why not....
So, we start off with no D whatsoever, and a quick 7-0 deficit.... How nice.... Ugh. Dom Capers was fired, wasn't he??? No???
Diamond commercial.... It must be the holiday season, the diamond commercials are ramping up. Some kind of best friend and love of your life ring.... Is this 2 rings? I'm confused. Looks like 1 ring, with 2 diamonds... Hmmm... Let's move on....
Wow... 3rd and 16, we allow a 56 yard pass play.... Ouch. Unreal. Could we get security to remove Dom Capers from the building???
Ensuing kickoff, ball is going out of bounds.... And Hyde fields it???? Why?? omg, he doesn't even get to the 15 yard line.... Coulda had it at the 40.... Shoulda fired our special teams coach. Hold on, we did fire our Special Teams coach, this is a new guy..... pffff!
Linsley holding.... thos offensive line, is offensive....
2nd and 18, Lacy for 1 yard. Great call there.....
Moving right along.... Punt, ensuing possession, Cam completes a 50 yard bomb, unreal throw and catch. As much as it pains me, the Packer defender had blatant Pass Interference on that, he was tackling the dude, who somehow made the catch anyways.... Unbelievable catch, truly. I'm shocked there was no flag.
TD Carolina.
Moving along.... Cam overthrows an open Greg Olson.... Bizarre, Cam has looked great. Drive ends in a Field Goal.... Super lucky to avoid a TD there.... Hey, we're only down 13!!
Lacy fumble.... Triple Ugh! He's gaining no yards, and now he's fumbling.... Seriously, if he's still hurt, keep him off the field.... This is not helping....
BTW, I see last month, I pointed out how mmuch I enjoyed Carlos Gomez's Homer against the Yankees. Look, when you are a fan of a AAAA Baseball Team like The Brewers, all you can do is root for the players who came through here to have great success wherever they go on to, in the actual major leagues. So, I have to say, it warmed my heart a little bit, to see Ned Yost win the World Series.... Nedly! A World Series Champion!!! Hahahah! Nice job man. Hey, when he came here, we were a complete embarrassment. Complete. He made a real baseball team out of us. Maybe we didn't win it all, but, at least we were respectable...
Ahem. Do we have to go back to this game?? I guess we do....
Un frickin believable.... Carolina misses the Field Goal. Another gift. We're getting out asses kicked, but yet, it could really be much worse....
Random observation by Troy Aikman of Fox Sports: "Aaron Rodgers has no chance here.... I don't know what this Offensive Line is doing here...." Neither do we, Troy, neither do we.....
Aaaannnnddd, Masthay gets off a 26 yard punt. Nice job on special teams there....
Carolina takes over... Packers all out blitz.... NO pressure, they get it blocked... TD Bomb Carolina. Ouch. Oooof. Kick to the nuts, right there.... Why am I live blogging this?? I should delete this right now.... I really should....
Random Toy Aikman observation, coming out of commercial: "Carolina has had 7 possessions, they've scored on 5, and it really should have been 6, with the missed field goal...." True. But actually Troy, it should have been 7.... If that throw to Hardy is any good at all, it's a TD, he's wide open.... so yeah. The Packer D has stopped nothing.
Throw to Cobbb for a first down. We needed that like Oxygen. Our offense, aside from the one TD drive, has done zero.
Time running out, Rodgers sacked, a total whiff on a block by Linsley.... So much for the first half. Panthers 27, Packers 7. We're getting our teeth kicked in, in Carolina. Mike McCarthy, pick up the white courtesy telephone.....
Hahaha! This is not good. going to halftime, Curt Menefee comes out of the break and says "things are going from bad to worse for the Packers....
Back from halftime.... omfg, a huge TD pass to Randall Cobb!!!! Is there hope here???? Probably not, but it was great to see some life in this offense....
Carolina, pass to Olson....
Random Troy Aikman observation: This just isn't very good defense....
Carolina, first down run....
Random Troy Aikman observation: This defense is reeeling, Joe....
Gratuitous shot of beleaguered D-Co-Ordinator Dom Capers in the booth.... Nice! Hahahha!
I'm gonna need to go to the hard stuff here, hold on....
Picking up the action in the 4th quarter.... Sack fumble on Rodgers, ball comes out, Rodgers is lucky to get back on top of it.... but, it was 3rd down, we will punt....
Panthers, 1st down, big pass to Ted Ginn.... Ouchh.
Blatant PI against Olsen, give 'em another 30 yards.....
Carolina TD pass..... Packers 14, Carolina 37.... 4 TD's for Cam Newton, 1 running, 3 throwing....
During commercial, a shoving match is broken up between Julius Peppers, BJ Raji, and Ha-Ha Clinton Dix.... A little tension, on the Green Bay sidelines..... the D, pointing fingers at each other.... Fellas, all the answers are upstairs, in that glass room, where Dom Capers is sitting.....
The immortal Brian Bulaga, beaten like a drum, Rodgers hit as he throws.... This O Line has no answers...
Pass to Adams for a 1st down.... Too little too late, 8.58 left in the 4th....
Finally saw a Draft Kings commercial.... I wondered where they went....
Screen pass to Starks, 30 yard gain.... Am I crazy, or, isn't it football 101 that if you're getting killed on the pass rush (which we are), shouldn't you run the screen???
------------------
Okay, sorry, I had to put the computer aside. I couldn't take anymore.... I really should have, gone to Costco or something.... Watching this game was not a good decision.
Tennessee, winning?!?!? Wow. Everybody in this pool had New Orleans for double digits....
GB lost obviously... Halftag and Bulldogs Rule (again??) with Carolina.... Nice job fellas. I thought the loss would be a wakeup call for the Packers, but obviously, they need another alarm clock, and a pot of coffee....
Minnesota, pulling out another miracle win.... Don't look now, but we are now tied with Minnysoda in the NFC North...... (barfs in wastebasket).
Well, Studmonkey, Gregslo, FloridaBoys, and Smitty201 appear well positioned at this moment.... I see Indy is getting all over the Broncos, at this point..... Hmmm. Everybody near the lead has Denver, so I guess it doesn't matter much.
Studmonkey and Halftag have Dallas tonight.... That's not a good decision. This is coming from a Dallas fan. They're not winning, okay.... As much as it pains me, the season is over....
Holy crap, Luck TD pass. Indy 17, Denver nothing.... And we had no answers for this Denver team.... I'm getting a bad feeling here.....
Anyways, good luck, enjoy the rest of the games!!!
