Loop D Loop

So what have I been up to blog? I’ll tell ya. playoffs on saturday hanging with the gf, dave and debbie. that was an event in itself. especially when them two got in a fight and she left for a couple hours, haha. 2-2 on predictions this weekend. not at all happy with my 3-5 record this post season.

 i suppose ill take the bears and colts in the conference games this weekend. *prays*

other than this, just hanging about today, and bill called at about 11 and we talked for awhile. its been some time since we have. its still weird since he moved 2 years ago. i still think “maybe we can all go over bill’s” but i know those days are behind =\ oh nostalgia

Petrino?

 So Petrino gets the job. To me, the Falcons aren’t that much more prestigous then Louisville. Word is Petrino will cut Michael Vick if he doesnt pan out to be a star this year. Word to the wise Petrino, I hope you have a day job.

 Five reasons why Petrino won’t make it in Atlanta.

5. He is a great and young offensive man. Atlanta apparently needed this? They had the number 1 rushing game in the league. And if you want to tell me that their passing was 32nd I have got news for you. Yours would be too with a league low 416 attempts.

4. Michael Vick saw his first 16 game season and first 20 touchdown season this year under Jim Mora Jr.

3. If he did fire Vick, what would he tell season ticket holders who were coming for the simple fact they wanted to see Michael Vick run?

2. He has no Harry Douglas to be catching Brian Brohm balls. His offense was based on having 2 good wideouts and a pocket quarterback. Sound remotely familiar to the Atlanta offense? Didn’t think so. So should we expect Brohm to be drafted or Schaub to be starter in the next two years?

1. Only Jim Mora has had a winning record as a first year Atlanta coach. In fact, out of every Atlanta coach’s first 3 years on the team, only Dan Reeve’s has surpassed Mora’s excellence. (Both 26-22, Reeves led them to a losing Super Bowl in a fluke year)

Two Days Off

Most don’t get very excited about 2 days off from work. To me it is like an all night sex session with a happy ending… or something. Yesterday I woke up at 9 just to play Madden all morning and then talk to Dave on the phone. Then when my girlfriend was done writing her paper we went with Dave and Debbie to the Chinese place in town. I don’t know what it is that keeps us in their for 3 hours everytime.

playoffs

Hoorah, yesterday commensed the playoffs. Playoffs? haha oh Jim Mora, you make the playoffs what they are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwq7BYOnDrM

 Anyway i just about sucked on predictions for the post season opening round. No surprise though. I had a tremendous run for 9 years at predicting playoffs and championships. It immediately ended at Super Bowl 39 though. I havent been able to predict anything since. Yet, I’ll continue to though for fun.  I am just hoping the Pats and Eagles get their asses handed to them because if tehy make it I might as well not even watch. What a bore.

Hoorah

Hoorah for Amanda, lol. She came into work and asked me to switch her monday with my wednesday and in exchange for taht we switched our Saturday times. Hoorah, so the playoofs are on for tomorrow. It almost broke my streak of watching 121 consecutive NFL playoff games. How would I live?

So, Today…

Why does my girlfriend awlays forget about her appointments? Bothers me a lot. Yesterday we had a fight but that was all my fault. I knew I should have been more open about taht but eh, now things are better. AOL always gets me in trouble so I think I’ll take my friend Doug’s advice and rid of it. Work soon enough and of course I get to walk in the rain making this week so much better. What a way to start my blog. The one time I happen to be in a pissy mood so the reflection you get is I am always this way. Oh well to that I say. This week wasn’t completely without sunshine of course. Bill Cowher has retired and that, as a Bengals fan, has made me very happy. Later I might go buy Invincible. I saw it in theaters with my girlfriend and absolutely loved it. I need to start saving money as well. Christmas wiped me out. One hundred and sixty dollars for that jewelry and those books. nothing is ever cheap. /end rant.

So, Saturday Shall Suck

Nice use of 4 S’s in the title on my part. Now, why would Saturday suck for me? The playoffs commense, and I am more than excited about it. Oh wait, that’s right. My boss decides to fucking keep open until 9pm now. We used to close at 6, meaning at the most I would miss the start of the 4:30 game. But now, I miss all of that game, and the beginning of the 8 game. FUCK HIM! Now I got to tell a lot of people not to come over on Saturday at all. And my boss doesnt turn the games on at work so I shall be pissed. Everyone sees me as bright and cheery there. I hope they didn’t make any bets on my wodnerful mood for Saturday because I don’t plan on a happy day. FUCKING WOW. I knew this would happen. He decides this week is the week to start keeping open until 9, and its the fucking week I’d rather be thrown over a bridge.

Who Took The Nasty Out Of Nati?

What is going on in Cincinnati? This 8-8 team is the same team that was completely revamped and revolutionized under Marvin Lewis and expected to make a Super Bowl run this year. Now they are taking weekly bus trips to the jailhouse to pick up whichever player has decided it was his turn to be found possessing marijuana, driving drunk, or resisting arrest. Marvin Lewis has a simple technique in drafting and picking up free agents. If they have the slightest bit of talent, they are worth every 2am bail in the world. Chris Henry spent more time behind bars in the offseason than Mike Tyson, and that scares me. On top of it all, an 8-6 team coming off a hot streak managed to lose back to back weeks via their special teams. So what is so special? A win in either game would have jettisoned them into the playoffs. Instead the combination of Brad St. Louis and Shayne Graham have instantly suspended the chance of post season play for awhile. Oh, and Marvin. Next time you decide to waste 2 timeouts late in the 4th quarter, you better make sure the rule change was initiated to give each team 10 a game. Even if the losing play against the Steelers was a defensive fault, I still find Marvin Lewis and Shayne Graham at fault for the loss. Am I wrong to think so? Well, I don’t think all the prison sentences in the world could change my mind.

Brett Favre

I don’t see honestly how anyone can make a case to keep Brett Favre as a Packer. Basically, if he doesn’t retire he will return as starter. The problems?

5. He said this was the most talented Packer team he has played with. In 1996 and 1997 he led a Packer team to the Super Bowl. This season the team finished 8-8 with only one win against a winning team (Chicago in the finale).

4. He says many of his interceptions come when playing from behind. In 2005 he led the NFL in interceptions. How many games is he playing behind from? A quarterback should have leadership ability and the ability to win.

3. He chased Javon Walker out of town.

2. His return will only delay the rebuilding stage the Packers are in. Key future receivers like Robert Ferguson, Greg Jennings, and Ruvell Martin are developing a rapport with a man who can be gone at any time.

 1. Brett Favre’s return will further hinder the commensement of Aaron Rodgers career. The first round pick of 2005 is being payed big money to talk on a headset.

If Brett does return, it will boggle my mind why the Packers will start him.

Fire!

Yesterday was alright. Your average normal work day until about 6:15 when the apartment building across the street caught ablaze. I was the second call to 911 so i missed out on the TV interviews and the media frenzy by about 12 seconds to my friend there. I don’t mind though. I’m glad that he was intelligent enough to summon help. It was a weird Korean group of people and they just left in their van and never returned. The reason? Most likely the bag of cocaine found upstairs where the fire was, lol. Anyway, business was beyond slow and we all just bullshitted. We did however make a LOT of hoagies for the fire fighters and gave out water all free of charge. But we couldnt do dishes because of the dirty water. I got to say it was pretty cool being the first people to see the fire and getting to make initial calls to the authorites.
