KathB4, aka "The Doc", having a nice week.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention this... KathB4 is also in a college football pool, with other people. Last week she was tied for first, in a pool of 1023 people. Not. Too. Shabby. Actually, it's insane. Nice job!!!
Feel free to send me your sick gambling exploits. I love great gambling stories. Tell me how you hit that killer 3 team teaser... Whatever. If it's epic enough, I'll share it here...
Not the most impressive Packer Victory I ever saw... These Lions are fiesty. They coulda won that game. The Packers may not be who we were led to believe they were... I don't have that Super Bowl feeling after the last two weeks....
The Bears, on the other hand, were who we thought they were. And then some. Ugh. Jay Cutler was who we thought he was. Somehow, despite all I hear about the Packers D, we certainly didn't feast on the Chicago offensive line like the Giants and Cowboys did.
At the 5:00 minute mark in the second quarter, am I starting to sense that these Patriots may have a problem??? Got the pick, but only got 3 out of it. 7-3, Dolphins. Hmm.
I just realized that we have a battle of Michigan QB's here. Brady of course had a very decorated careerr with the Michigan Wolverines, and Chad Henne was their QB as well, fairly recently.
Okay, 2 huge defensive stops... Whoops, pass interference on 3rd and ten, another first down for Miami. Wow.
Ricky Williams running wild in the secondary.... ugh.
Okay, Ninkovich gets his second pick of the half... Maybe these Patriots have a shot. First two picks of his career, right there...
At the half, Miami 7, Patriots 6. Hmm. Patriots will receive in the second half.
OMG, will they ever!!! Opening kickoff, Tate runs the kick back 103 yards for the TD!!! Whoa.
**************
Whoops, fell asleep. I'll spare the readers the ten pages of "sssssssssssssssss" where my hand fell asleep on the "s" key... Heh heh... What can I say, they're trying to kill me at work. Sent me to communist Madison to report... what a thrill. Let me set the stage, the CO I report to is situated between a check cashing center and a liquor store, a block off the highway. Heh heh, yeah, the neighborhood, ummm, yeah, uhh, let's just say, it could be better. Not exactly where one might choose to park one's mint Escalade... To say nothing of the extra 60 frickin' miles a day I have to drive.
Ahh, I was so excited when I got this job, back in November of 1999... It's taken them awhile, but I can safely say right now they've beaten the life out of me. Driving to Madison yesterday, there was some insane thick fog on the interstate... I'm following a semi, maybe 6 car lengths, whoosh, he disappears. That'd be about right. They've been trying to kill me for years, if I got killed on the way to work, that would be a fitting capstone to my experience here with this employer.
Anyways, what happened with that football game??? There were a few interested parties, Sharpcheddar and Badgergil. Hold on, checking....
Wow, Patriots sepcial teams came alive in the second half, apparently. 41-14, Pats.
Tom Brady again etches himself into the record books, fastest to 100 career wins. Nice job buddy. Jon Gruden during the game says "If I could be anyone else, I'd wanna be Tom Brady. This guy HAS IT ALL!!!!" Well said. I love Gruden.
In case you don't get what he means by "has it all", this is Brady's GF, Gisele Bundchen:
Congrats to Badgergil. Second week in a row, he scores the big win. Nice job man.
Sharpcheddar and the Big Headed Holy Rollers each had ten correct picks. No easy task, with upsets flying everywhere. This could be Sharpcheddar's kind of year, he loooves the upset.
Let's look at a few headlines, then I gotta go.
"Vick expects to miss a week, maybe two" Yeah, that's no good. Did you SEE Kevin Kolb in that game??? Whoa. Eagles fans hopefully had a wastebasket with a plastic liner handy while they watched THAT debacle. After THAT horrific absurdity, Andy Reid himself is personally duct-taping Mike Vick's chest back together as we speak.
"Lovie: Cutler seems okay" Uhhh, you mean, as okay as he ever is?? Or is that more like, compared to our backups, Cutler at 60% is better than they are?? If Cutler is okay, does that mean he turns back into his usual interception-throwing self??
"Sam Bradford Sails Through First Month" No kidding. He may well be in football purgatory, but he has played great. Won his last 2. On a bad team, with serious O-line issues. Rather amazing. We may never fully appreciate his talents.
Anyways, good luck next week!!!
