Only Half Way....

Greetings!

I know, this is pathetic.  So few Blog Posts.   So little time.

I've already exceeded last season's dismal record by winning a week, so I have that going for me at least....

Last year, I posted a quick note about Grand Theft Auto 5.....  so just to give you some closure on that....


I did achieve 100% completion.....

(some of you are impressed, and some of you have no clue what I'm talking about.....)

Awesome game.  November 18th, it is re-released for the XBox One and PS4....  ugh.  I might have to finally break down and get a new game system...

Anyways, moving right along....



Cardinals Cheerleaders, and Cowboys Cheerleaders....  big showdown in big D....  Brandon Weeden will go, for the Cowboys....  In a complete and total shocker, I took Arizona.  We've all seen Brandon Weeden's work before....  and I quietly like the Arizona Cardinals....  although I see the Cowboys just picked off Carson Palmer, and returned it for a TD.  Yowza!  Well, if the Cowboy Defense can score, ohh, 28 points or so, they might win the game!

I see Brandon Weeden just found Jason Witten for 5 yards.....  Never a bad idea, to get the ball to Jason Witten.....



Patriots Cheerleaders and Broncos Cheerleaders, always a delight.....  Peyton Manning will meet Tom Brady again, in Foxborough, a little later today....  by now you know, I like the Patriots in that one....  One of the great matchups of our time, Brady vs Manning.  Enjoy that one.  Both of these guys are much closer to the end, than the beginning....

Hold on, Weeden just found Dunbar, on a screen, for like 30 yards....  Am I to believe Weeden is actually capable of playing football???  Maybe Cleveland stinks, and nobody could succeed there....

Bailey Field goal, Cowboys up 10-zip in Arlington.

Arizona on offense.....  Carson Palmer has decided to start throwing to Larry Fitzgerald...  That's never a bad idea either....

A call from my Mother... God Bless her, she can't figure out how to get the game on her TV....  Listen up people, this is your Uncle Cadillac Pat, here to give you some advice: never stop learning!  Don't just keep turning away from new technology.  Don't do it!  Otherwise, you end up as a 70-something year old who literally is completely incapable of operating anything that's less than 20 years old.  A new TV should have given her a lot of joy & delight.... Instead, it's a source of confusion, frustration, and staring at a blank screen and wondering why.......  I should have dug through some vintage electronics shops, and found her an old late 70's vintage 21 inch Sony Trinitron, and gave her that, she would have loved it.   Seriously people, try to stay current, or the world passes you by....

(HighZ is laughing right now, because he buys 5 of everything new, whether it makes any sense or not, and compared to him, we're all dinosaurs.....  So look, you don't have to go COMPLETELY crazy for every new thing like HighZ, but....)

Whoops!  Carson Palmer, TD pass.  Your score in Arlington, Cowboys 10 Cardinals 7.

Looked out my window Friday morning, and saw snow!!!  Snow???  Snow.  Ugh.  I'm still suffering PTSD from LAST winter, and now this winter is going to go ahead and start early......  pffffffff....  Unbelievable...  I am not ready for winter.

Uh oh, Nick Foles leaves the game.  Mark Sanchez (The Sanchize!) enters the game for the Eagles.  Somewhere, Phanatic Philly Phan just opened a bottle of Crown Royal, and started chugging it.....

Some of these commercials are so crazy....  I look up from my computer, I'm looking at like a million shoes, flying through the air......  It's a Corona Commercial....  I don't get it.....

Moving along....  I see the Bill Simmons suspension had the desired effect on the assembled media masses....  the name "Roger Goodell" shall no longer be uttered.   The opinions of Roger Goodell will no longer be questioned in print or over the air....  Kind of like North Korea......

Wow...  Weeden, NEARLY sacked in his own endzone.....  I'm starting to feel better about that Arizona pick.....

I wanted to say, I liked Halftag and Kcamosy, picking the Saints heavy Thursday Night.   I was scared to death to put 9 on them.... 13 and 14??  Wow.  Saints eventually had to win on the road, I guess.....  Was that the thought process???

Andre Ellington, 19 yard run....  This Cowboy D is spending waaaaay too much time on the field.  They need a stop.  And then they need the offense to actually get a first down.  Palmer, pump fake left, screen right, Ellington another 18 yards.....  Ohh boy.

Hey Steelers Fans!  You STILL think Bruce Ariens was the "problem" with your offense???  Yeah, I think we can disabuse you of that notion... Ariens seems to be calling all the right plays against this Dallas D on this drive.....

Palmer. TD pass.  Touchdown Cardinals.   Your score in Arlington: Arizona 14, Dallas 10.

Packers are on a bye....  Hopefully Aaron Rodgers has like 4 of those stimulators stuck to his hamstring, and when they take those off, they immediately come in with 5 therapists, with their ultrasound massagers.....  Sore hammy.  Not good.   We saw the "Rodgers is hurt" movie last year, and it wasn't good.....  maybe Olivia Munn can kiss it and make it better.....




If you're not keeping up on current events, Olivia Munn is Aaron Rodger's current girlfriend....

Weeden has completed 3 nice passes here, and got a PI call on the incompletion.....

From Houston, it's Philly 14, Houston 14, TD pass to Arian Foster....  Phanatic Philly Phan has run out of Crown Royal, and is now guzzling the cheap stuff.....

Dallas, Chip Shot field Goal to end the half....  BLOCKED?!?!??!  Cardinals Recover, running, running, Jason Witten, miracle tackle to save the Touchdown.....  Unreal.   Not that I'm complaining, but why the hell is Jason Witten, the future hall of famer, in on field goal attempts???  There's no backup tight end somewhere who can block????

The Sanchize, 7 for 9 for 111 yards and a TD pass?!?!?!  Whaaaaa?  First TD pass since 2012.  Who woulda thunk it???

Anyways..... Picks are all over the place on this Cardinals Cowboys game....  Weeden, two missed throws, another 3 & out.....  Beautiful.....  Jones, poor punt, Cardinals will take over at the 40.....

Miami 37, San Diego Zero???  Whaaa?  Just saw that on a ticker.....  Miami, exploding.....

Palmer, perfect throw, Brown drops the perfect pass.... ugh.   Cardinals will punt, the Dallas D steps up.....

Harris, great punt return to near midfield for Dallas..... Unfortunately, Brandon Weeden is about to go back to work......

Weeden misses another throw.  Murray stuffed.  these Cardinals are just lining up and stuffing the run.  Zero respect for Weeden.....  Wait, Weeden just found Beasley for a first down!  He completed a pass!

There you go, Weeden, throws behind Jason Witten at the goal line, picked off by Arizona......  Note to GM's around the league: Have a viable backup QB somewhere in the building....

Luckily, I was joking about Phanatic Philly Phan.....  He decided to drink responsibly....  and his Eagles are up by ten.....  Despite a Sanchez pick.

Cowboys stymied on 4th down....I can feel this Arizona pick pulling into the garage....  8 minutes left in the 4th.....

Cardinals driving, TD pass....  Cardinals by 11, 6 minutes to go.....  These Cardinals are going to 7-1 on the Season....  It might be time to start taking them seriously.....

Aaaannnndd, Weeden picked off.  Arizona set up deep in Dallas Territory.  This is over.  Oh, this is SO over, Palmer, nice throw to the 5........  and, TD Arizona.  Make it 28-10.  And when we realize that Dallas got 7 of their ten points off of an interception return for a touchdown, we have a very pathetic performance by this offense.  3 points, 1 long field goal, was the total output of this offense......

Alright, I'm going to Patriots- Broncos.  Enjoy, everyone!
