Hey, good morning!!!
Well, another football filled weekend is wrapping up.
Obviously, last week Badgergil stomped a mud-hole in our faces... Ouch. Nice job man. I had nearly the exact same picks, yet I end up with 88, he has 111. His points (clearly) were different, though....
For this weeks action, more to the point, Erin07 is clinging to a 1 point lead. And thus, he has become a big Bears fan for tonight. Almost as big as Ardita.
Actually, this might not be a stretch. Erin07 may have some Bears sympathies. I've urged him to seek medical help, but...
Now, in case of a (very) likely Vikings win, Patrick686 (thats me!), Air Myles, and Smitty201 will tie, I believe... So, note to Brett Favre: Hey man! If the Bears get 3 field goals, try to score like 33 points, for my tiebreaker. I've had your back through this whole Packer thing, okay buddy, so do this for me... Thanks. Best Regards, Patrick in Pewaukee.
Packers blew out the Seahawks... Early in that game, I had a real bad feeling. Apparently, it was too many nachos, or something. Seahawks were moving the ball, until Matt Hasselbeck threw that absurd pick to AJ Hawk... Lotta Hawk Haters in my inner circle. I have no problem with the guy. Maybe if he did some kind of sammurai sword thing every time he makes a frickin' tackle, people would love him. I dunno.
Ahhh, note to Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson: Jeremy Kapinos, our punter, sucks. He sucks. He sucks!!! Yeah, that was a blowout, true dat, but his punts... several didn't gross 35 yards. 2 didn't gross 30 yards. Kicking either way, so, don't tell me about the wind. And then with the runbacks of these 30 yard low line-drive bullets, the runbacks are ridiculous. We netted less than ten yards on a couple of punts. Ten yards. Ten. So look fellas, we may as well go on fourth down, if we're only gonna net ten yards.
Speaking of going on fourth, how did you like Jim Zorn last night?? 5 minutes and change remaining, down 17 to nuthin... And you could clearly see him on the headset saying "I wanna Punt!!" to someone. Huh?? Whaaa? Coach, you need 3 scores... Coach, put the Crystal Head Vodka down for a second, listen, you need three scores, there's no time!
This Cowboys team is starting to remind me of the 07 Giants who won the Super Bowl.
Waitaminute, how about the Giants getting dismantled yesterday.... Awesome! Tom Coughlin looked like he had a dog turd in his mouth... Oh wait, he always looks like that, never mind... and both Eli and Peyton Manning were pacing the sidelines with disgusted looks on their faces... Awesome....
Anyways, back to the Cowboys, who had another big win. Okay, it was over the reeling Redskins, but still... It pains me to compare anything to the Giants, but here we go:
1. In 07, The Giants were limping into the playoffs, leaking oil, hitting on 5 out of 8 cylinders. Cowboys? As of 2 weeks ago, check.
2. In 07, the Giants started playing tough near the end of the season, when it appeared pointless. Cowboys? Check.
3. In 07, (unlike now), lots of people were calling Eli Manning a fraud, a pretender, a bust, a waste... Tony Romo taking a lotta heat this December?? BIG checkmark... despite playing well, all anyone ever asks him is about his record in December. (And when I say "unlike now", I mean I am still calling Eli The Fraud That Is Eli Manning. Others seem to have gotten on board with the little goofball.)
4. In 07, Tom Coughlin and his face were merely playing out the string, waiting to be fired. Wade Phillips? Big Checkmark. 3 weeks ago, they'd already penciled in the date of the press conference where Jerry would fire Big Wade... Hell, I myself, in this blog, have probably made sarcastic comments about Wade Phillips imminent departure.
So, I dunno. It feels eerily similar. There's two "Teams of Destiny" out there (Indy and the Saints) waiting to claim their "inevitable" Super Bowl, just as the Patriots were going to claim their "inevitable" trophy, and cap their perfect season. The Cowboys have talent. They could surprise some people. I love how Romo is playing right now.
And thanks a bunch Roy Williams, for letting ANOTHER pass ricochet off of your hands of stone, and get picked off. True, I've had a lot of fun with Braylon Edwards, The Human Dropped Pass. Braylon has single-handedly kept Terrell Owens from leading the league in dropped passes for two years. T.O. probably sends Braylon Christmas Gifts. So maybe I've been a little hard on the guy. He's just a kid from the mean streets of Detroit, who played college ball at Michigan, and then, sadly, was drafted by the Cleveland Browns. He finally got traded to the Jets midseason. Anyway, my point is, for some strange perverted reason, Roy Williams has apparently decided that he WANTS THE TITLE. He wants to be The Human Dropped Pass.
Who wants that??? Roy, call your office, get some stick-'em, whatever... ugh. Sadly, there are some paralells here. Braylon Edwards was drafted #3 overall. Roy Williams, #7 overall. I was gonna go on a receiver diatribe, I don't even feel like it. Note to Roy Williams: start f*ck*ing catching the G*d D*mned football. Best Regards, Patrick.
Taking a few deep breaths, to calm down.... and, that's better...
Anyways, Kyle Orton tried to lead a furious comeback over the Eagles, and it looked good for awhile.... Bear Fans watching that game probably had to be placed in restraints, to keep from gouging their own eyes out with the nearest pen, pencil, whatever.... I look at Kyle Orton, in a Denver uni, and I just can't hardly believe, that right there is the dude who could not beat sexy Rexy Grossman out of a job.... Unreal. And after tonight's embarrassing loss to the Vikings, that Lovie Smith contract extension is going to start to feel a lot like that Charlie Weis contract extension....
Whoops, sorry, put the Bear Fans back in their restraints.... sorry, my bad...
Anyway, enjoy tonights game. After that, it's ONE MORE WEEK. One.
Well, okay, then there's playoffs, sure, but... Soak it in, people. Soak. It. In.
Wow, how about these college bowls. Ugh, could we have a few more upsets?? I'm already dead in the water in my college pools. The Florida Boys know what I'm talking about.... whew. It's been several days since a Tiger Woods mistress has come forward. I miss it already....
Later!

Long Range Shooting..Further than 25 yards???
Hey, welcome back....
Well, congrats to Ronfic, for his win last week... Nice job. My Cardinals lost, costing me a lotta points. They're still in a room with a bunch of calculators, adding up how many picks Kurt Warner threw. Ugh!!
I see Arizona did manage to hold off the vaunted Detroit Lions, getting my 16 point pick tied up to the dock.
Anyways, how about those Cowboys!!!! Nobody gave them a chance. Except for me, and Badgergil, and Florida Boys DD, and Sears.... VBS, no faith in the squad. Hmmm. Folk missed ANOTHER super short field goal... Ugh. These kickers...
In earlier action today, Tennesse was leading by 15 all afternoon.... and then Pow, tied up, a minute-something to go. Waaaay too much drama... Atlanta was losing all day... right till the last minute there.
Steelers needed 1 play to go up 7-nothing. Nice. And The Great Crosby has already missed a field goal....
3:55 remaining, 2nd quarter, bounce off the hands, almost picked off by the Steelers... Steady fellas.
Aaron Rodgers, takes it in himself!!! From 20 yards out!!! What a run! I have NO CLUE what the celebratory hands at the belt gesture was all about.... I'm not sure I wanna know. Crosby comes out, and NEARLY MISSES the extra point!!! Gaaahh! Yanked HARD LEFT. Ted Thompson, call your frickin' office, this guy is DONE. An extra point really shouldn't send your beer and crackers surging up from your stomach. You really shouldn't need a plastic-lined wastebasket for an extra point.... Yikes. Yeeesh. I'm gonna have to get some Pepto Bismol and have it ready here in front of the big screen, in preparation for Crosby's next attempt of anything.
27 seconds left in the half, Pittsburgh goes up 21-14, a few big pass plays on that drive.... Funny, the Steelers' place kicker made that extra point look easy...
Moving right along, 2nd half underway, Coach Mike McCarthy tries to challenge an obvious completion along the sidelines... Nice. Blow a second half timeout, while you're losing, on the road, in a hostile environment... Good going coach. I also love the pained look on his face when they announced the play stands as called.
**********
Okay, I set my laptop down for awhile... Too many snacks, whew. It is now Monday morning.
Wrap-up thoughts on the Packer game: in a word, unreal. Again, Aaron Rodgers did enough to secure a comeback win. The Packer D, on the other hand, did not. I will say that Packer fans in my house were screaming at the TV, urging the squad to go for the TD, and not put this game on Crosby's leg... And lo and behold, that's what they did!! It LOOKED like a win, for a minute there....
And it wasn't enough. Turns out I needed the Packers desperately to win, to keep my slim hopes alive in a different pool. And, they did not.
Biiig Sigh... You hitch your wagon to these Packers at your own risk, truly. Biiiig Siiiigh
Another note from that game: What exactly was Dr Foreman doing over there, on the opposite sideline??? Onside kick, with 3 and change to go, while you're LEADING??? At the time, I was baffled, and couldn't make any sense out of it. In the icy cold grey dawning light of Monday Morning, it makes no sense at all. Leading by 2, no less... If the Packers actually had a field goal kicker on the roster right now, all we have to do is kick the FG, and boom. I don't get that one at all. Talk about outsmarting yourself.... wow.
Speaking of December swoons, (wait, were we speaking of December swoons?? I guess we are now...) While the Cowboys got a big win, and Tony Romo continues to play well, a certain dude on the Vikings just lost another one. And got in a big argument with his head coach, to stay in the game. Hmmm. Uhhhmmmm Hmmmm. Yeah... Favre Hating Nation will love that he was sacked 4 times, no TD's, 1 late meaningless pick.
Actually, I wonder how Carolina Fan feels after Matt Moore came in and played great. You stuck with Jake Delhomme all season. Now, true, you're paying Delhomme a ton of money to sit on the bench, but...
Matt Moore: 21 off 33, 299 yds, 3TD's. Not bad. Another strange game, Minny-so-cold was up 7-6 (on a missed John Kasay extra point, ugh) until Carolina exploded for 20 in the 4th quarter.
(And again, Jake, Nick, Kevin, et al, if you're not working hard to be a football kicker, you're missing the boat... and you're missing the bevy of college co-eds who can't wait to "get busy" with the dude who kicked the game winning field goal... A plethora of girls.... a myriad of girls... whatever...)
Speaking of Jake Delhomme, you can check out a lot of very interesting articles on a site called http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/
Michael Lombardi and Andrew Brandt have great articles on there. Worth checking in on from time to time. Andrew Brandt last week broke down what JaMarcus Russell is really going to cost the Raiders... His career appears to be over. The Raiders started Charlie Frye yesterday, and got a win. His bust status now has to be near the Ryan Leaf or Tony Mandarich area. There's thin air up that high on Mount Bust-more... Throw in how high he was picked, and how, like it or not, he's going to end up with $40 million dollars from the Raiders.... Breathtaking bust.
Author's note: I just re-read that sentence, and saw that I mis-typed $0 Million... It didn't have the same impact, somehow. I bet the Raiders wish it was $0 Million...
Brandt also has a slightly older post on there about what Delhomme is really going to cost the Panthers. Great stuff.
Heisman: I don't really care about the Heisman that much, but isn't it time to AT LEAST start giving 2 Heismans, one for offense, 1 for defense??? In the last 70 years, 3 guys who were not halfbacks or quarterbacks won the award. Three. So instead of saying "Best Player in College football", why not just say "Running Back or Quarterback who received the Most Hype.", and let it go at that....
Anyway, Badgergil is untouchable at this point. Congrats to him for a big win. Badgergil crushed us so badly, he passed up Leo Woods for 3rd in the season standings. Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark. As the E-Trade Baby would say, he just issued us a beat-down... 11 on the Cowboys. I wanted to do that, I just couldn't bring myself to it. I really had a feeling about that one. I dunno what I'm crying about though, even if I move my 15 from the Vikings to the Cowboys, he still beats me by ten....
Well, I have to go now, but let say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your families.
Also, here's a little tip: Don't buy an Amazon Gift Card. Just don't. I order a gift card from amazon, along with some other stuff. The other stuff comes, there's no gift card in the box. I send my complaint letter to amazon, they write back, no problem, we'll process your refund. A day later, I get an email "Oh, that gift card has been used by an unauthorized party. We can't refund you. Call your credit card company and stop that charge."
Huh?? Number One, you're Amazon!! It's all internet based!! Find out who used that card, and give their name and address to the authorities, and have them arrested for using a stolen gift card!!! Is that so hard?? Number Two, since when is calling your credit card company and cancelling the transaction a normal course of refunding money?? Very strange. So I gotta call my credit card company this morning, I guess.... I need a personal assistant. I really do. I have things to do here. Like I got all day to fart around with this crap. So, take a lesson, never buy a gift card from amazon.
Have fun, and good luck next week!!!

Rain turned to Ice... Winter Gloves: On.
Well, good morning Switzerland!!!
Actually, it's a LOT WARMER in Switzerland right now than it is here.... 48 in Geneva. Zero here. Hmmm.
Well, I guess putting 16 on the Steelers was a pretty good idea. They're not gonna lose 5 in a row, right?? Against the lowly Cleveland Browns?? Naaah. 'Course not. Don't be ridiculous. Their season is on the line....
Whooops!!!! Gaaahhh! Dooh!!
Question: Why couldn't the Cardinals face THOSE Steelers last February??? Yeah, those Steelers, who allow 8 sacks a game, who can't run... Yeah. Hmm.
Well, what's bad for me might be good for VBS... He "only" had 11 on Dr. Foreman's team, errr, I mean, Mike Tomlin's Team. Sorry.
If you don't watch "House", you missed that, so google up the actor Omar Epps, who plays Dr. Foreman on House, and you tell me he isn't Mike Tomlin's long lost twin brother.
Headline: (straight from Yahoo Sports, cut and Paste) Romo not thrilled to hold, but willing to do it.
Dateline: IRVING, Texas (AP)—Tony Romo doesn’t really want to be a holder again for what he calls “obvious reasons.”
Yet if having him hold will help kicker Nick Folk regain his accuracy, then Romo is willing to resume the role that left him in tears the last time he did it for the Dallas Cowboys.
Heck, he even volunteered for it.
“When you’re the quarterback of a football team, really all that matters is winning,” Romo said Thursday. “If this helps us do that, I’m doing to do it. … Pops told me one time, `Leadership is doing what has to be done.”’
Romo bobbled his last hold for Dallas, in a January 2007 playoff game in Seattle. The flub cost the Cowboys a chance to beat the Seahawks and it left Romo tearfully apologizing to his teammates afterward. He asked to hold at the Pro Bowl a few weeks later and hadn’t done it again until this week. He’d never worked with Folk, who arrived the season after Romo gave up holding to concentrate on being solely the quarterback.
*****
My thoughts: Please. I'm fed up with all the "Blaming Romo" for Cowboys losses. Now we have an idiot kicker who is going to blame his holder for his absurd missed kicks. Riiiight. And again, you dudes ages 9 thru 16, if you're not out there kicking and punting.... I dunno. I throw my hands up in exasperation. Obviously, you could easily make a few hundred grand a year if you could make a few field goals.
Yeah, this idea that Romo somehow needs to "contribute more" to the team, underlying in that article, is real annoying as well. Like, somehow, he's not REALLY a "good quarterback."
Let's go to the line, shall we?? (cut and pasted from Yahoo Sports)
Tony Romo:

(/sarcasm mode off)
Yeah, well, so, rest easy Cowboys Fans... instead of working on how to beat the Chargers, Tony is going to spend his extra time this week working with the long snapper.... Nice. Real nice. Jerry Jones, pick up the white courtesy telephone, reality is on the line for you.... Wade, you may wanna just hold onto the mortgage payment check.... You may be leaving soon.
I'd seriously like to know, where's your backup wide receivers??? Get one of your diva wideouts to hold... Supposedly such great ball handlers, okay, get your butt out there and hold for placekicks!!! Our starting QB has BETTER THINGS TO DO!!!
Alright people, enjoy the games. It's waaay too frickin' cold out to do anything but hunker down inside and plant yourself firmly in front of your big screen.

Week 13: Keeping my powder dry in heavy rain...
Greetings!
Well, First off, Congrats to Erin07 for his win last week.... New Orleans blasted the Vaunted New England Patriots. I didn't see that coming, actually. Are the Patriots still "vaunted" anymore??? Or are they now just the Patriots. Hmmm. With a loss yesterday at Miami, they're being humbled a little more each week. So, nice win for Erin07, his second of the year.
I gotta hand it to Sharpcheddar as well. 10 on Arizona. Wow. I had the Arizona Cardinals, but I didn't have the stones to put 10 on it. I like that strategy though. Kathb4 and Leo Woods had Minnesota heavy, too. Which seems crazy, but if the pick comes in, that will launch you up the standings...
Looks like Sharpcheddar has it in the bag already. Congrats, man!
I really wanted to watch that game, but I am ashamed to say I fell asleep. Sad, really. So I didn't see My Cardinals take apart the vaunted Vikings...
I can only imagine how happy the "Favre Hating Nation" is this morning.... Upon further reflection, I can see where my Father might cheer for the Arizona Cardinals to beat Brett Favre. I get that. But the Chicago Bears?? Really?? It's gonna take a few years of therapy for me to get over that one.... Seriously, there's t-shirts you could buy for years up here, they say "My two favorite teams are the Packers and whoever plays the Bears." Pulling for the Bears.
Whats really going on there is, my Dad has been kidnapped by space aliens. So, call the spaceship fellas, and bring my Dad back.... You're not fooling anyone. Actually, that also explains why I'm getting insect bites at his house, and he's not... The Florida sand fleas hate the taste of the alien blood. His computer network is really screwy too.... It's all starting to make sense now... Hmmmm...
Another mystery solved. Well, for Favre Hating Nation, here's a few photos for you:
These Vikings fans flew a long ways to hold up this sign... And be dead wrong!
This guy threw 2 picks. First multi-interception game of the year for him.
Larry Fitzgerald, a beast, being congratulated by Mr Favre.
Larry had a nice game....
Warner had a nice game too, back from his concussion...
There is a game of some significance tonight. If the Packers aren't total pretenders, they need to win. Sadly, the Ravens are desperately clinging to a playoff spot, so they need a win bad. I have a bad feeling for Aaron Rodgers. If he is killed tonight, can we bring our offensive line (except Mark Tauscher) up on manslaughter charges?? Reckless disregard, something like that?? I'm not sure, maybe I should consult a lawyer.
Also, there's a kicking job open in Dallas this morning. Ugh!! Dallas may have lost, but I blame the D, I blame the special teams. I do not blame Tony Romo.
Again, if your son, nephew, cousin, whatever, is not kicking, you are an idiot.

Seriously... Jake. Dalton. Nick. Kevin. Mark. Tom. You guys know who you are. Start kicking!!! I wanna see you guys hitting the game winner, like Hunter Lawrence of The Texas Longhorns, drilling that 46 yarder to win the game. There's a post on the Longhorns website this morning, "Hunter Lawrence for Governor!!"
And let me tell you something fellas: if you think you can't pick the girl of your choice after you hit that game winner.... think again!!!
Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow torpedoed their Heisman Hopes Saturday... ugh.
People (or, national sports radio pundits) seemed positively giddy with Tim Tebow's loss. Why is there so much hate for Tebow??? Is it so wrong to have a Christian belief, here in a Christian country?? Really?? Would you like him better if he was a slimy Muslim??
Would you like him better if his hot Swedish girlfriend busted out all the windows of his Escalade with a 3-iron?? And then like 6 of his other girlfriends came forward??
Ahhh, that's been done to death already... Enjoy tonights game!!
Well, First off, Congrats to Erin07 for his win last week.... New Orleans blasted the Vaunted New England Patriots. I didn't see that coming, actually. Are the Patriots still "vaunted" anymore??? Or are they now just the Patriots. Hmmm. With a loss yesterday at Miami, they're being humbled a little more each week. So, nice win for Erin07, his second of the year.
I gotta hand it to Sharpcheddar as well. 10 on Arizona. Wow. I had the Arizona Cardinals, but I didn't have the stones to put 10 on it. I like that strategy though. Kathb4 and Leo Woods had Minnesota heavy, too. Which seems crazy, but if the pick comes in, that will launch you up the standings...
Looks like Sharpcheddar has it in the bag already. Congrats, man!
I really wanted to watch that game, but I am ashamed to say I fell asleep. Sad, really. So I didn't see My Cardinals take apart the vaunted Vikings...
I can only imagine how happy the "Favre Hating Nation" is this morning.... Upon further reflection, I can see where my Father might cheer for the Arizona Cardinals to beat Brett Favre. I get that. But the Chicago Bears?? Really?? It's gonna take a few years of therapy for me to get over that one.... Seriously, there's t-shirts you could buy for years up here, they say "My two favorite teams are the Packers and whoever plays the Bears." Pulling for the Bears.
Whats really going on there is, my Dad has been kidnapped by space aliens. So, call the spaceship fellas, and bring my Dad back.... You're not fooling anyone. Actually, that also explains why I'm getting insect bites at his house, and he's not... The Florida sand fleas hate the taste of the alien blood. His computer network is really screwy too.... It's all starting to make sense now... Hmmmm...
Another mystery solved. Well, for Favre Hating Nation, here's a few photos for you:
These Vikings fans flew a long ways to hold up this sign... And be dead wrong!
This guy threw 2 picks. First multi-interception game of the year for him.
