    Brett Favre/Farve = 33rd NFL team and miscellaneous musings

    Saturday, October 31, 2009, 11:56 PM EST [NFL]

    Are you sick of the media's over hyping of everything Favre!

     I am. Apparently Favre is an NFL team, not a QB. Two years of Favre-A-Palooza has me puking in my steel toed boots, yet again.

    Still, the media's short attention span translates into the balloon boy type of media we're stuck with! Short attention span and TMZ media rules the airwaves. Renaming Brett Favre Drive as the new Aaron Rodgers Drive is beyond TOTALLY G-a-a-y! Hey, will the KC Chefs suspend me for that! Let's play ball @ 3:15 Central now!

    This Vikes fan is sick, tired, overwhelmed and disturbed by the overemphasis of this match up's importance.

    I always respected Favre for his abilities, period.  Now, I cheer for a team that finally has a QB and am pleased to do so. Reality check: The PACK forced Favre's hand and had to .

    We get it.

    The Salary Cap forced Green Bay to tell Favre to retire.

    Unfortunately, Favre wasn't ready. Aaron Rodgers was eating up CAP space. Another reality.

    Favre was supposed to "ride into the sunset" because management wanted him to take a career nap. Sorry Charlie! Favre still has gas in the tank and isn't ready to retire.

    We all wait for this game.

    If I see Wendy Nix with another boring Favre report, I'll throw up in my mouth again...and hope she does a Playboy spread soon.

    And now some shout-outs for stupidity!

    ESPN gets the golden banana for hyping the availability of BOTH the Texas/Okie State and USC/Oregon games: Wrong, you scumbags!

    ESPN blacked out the USC/Oregon game in north Texas! We were supposed to see the USC/Oregon game on the 2nd ESPN network. This was the best match up of the day, but NOOOOOOOOO! Nothing, nada, zip, zilch...just a blank screen. You SUK, ESPN!

    This just in, Nebraska has no "O" on the field or spell-o-logically. If this team had an average offense, they'd be undefeated and would face the equally pathetic Iowa in the BCS Championship game.

    Hey, the Big XII and Big Ten don't have refs throw games like the CBS-SEC conference! This just in...Oregon beat the family paying University of Spoiled Children. I wish I could have seen the game.

    TCU waits in the short grass!

    No more 2009 MLB for me. Thank Bud

    Thursday, October 15, 2009, 01:26 PM EST [MLB]

    I'm through with Major League Baseball for 2009.

    When the ALDS umpire ruled a Mauer ground rule double, a foul ball...even after hitting the left fielder's glove, and bouncing fair, I turned the HDTV off.

    Emperor Bud Selig's response to this play and replay in general showed how little he cares about MLB or the fans. Bud isn't interested in any more replays. 

    Getting the call right is what matters.  I don't care about "mistakes happen."  This is the playoffs and the place where monumental errors can/should be corrected.

    MLB reacts slowly to the outcry of fans, that is, until an upper east coast team gets hosed.  Then the reaction is swift. 

    If you're thinking about viewing the remaining playoffs/World Series, here's something to think about, if you don't have a dog in this fight:

    2009 MLB Team Salary...per USA Today

    $209,000,000  Yankees

    $113,000,000  Phillies

    $113,000,000  Los Angeles/Anaheim/Disney/Earth Angels

    $110,000,000  Los Angeles Dodgers

    Hmmm...who can I cheer against?  Let me think about this.  What statistic stands out and shows part of the reason MLB is a joke?

    Hey, I can cheer for an East coast v. West coast World Series.

    I love hearing 'those' Easties whine ,"I had to stay up late to watch a game.  Why don't they schedule these West coast games at times that are convenient for us!"  Why! Because your time zone ain't convenient for Cali fans you Nancy-boy!   Believe it or not, there are FOUR time zones in the lower 48 states.  Yours is not the only one that matters.  The networks want their ad revenue too! The blogs on this subject are always a delicious read.

    FYI, the Twins' salary this year was 65,000,000

    Penn State bites the big one vs. the schmuck

    Saturday, September 26, 2009, 11:34 PM EST [General]

    In a game that didn't matter...

    In a conference that's as tough as a JV cheerleader squad's dentist's lawn guy...

    In a matchup that was so 2008...

    In the heavily favored Paterno stadium...

    We the fans won when Iowa stood up and smacked Penn State in the mouth.

    Thanks for saving ABC's tail with this matchup! Meanwhile, Purdue(not the chicken company in Texas) suddenly stood up and smacked the despised Notre Dump in the mouth

    ...until Purdue choked in the final minute.

    So many millions of real men cheer for the NBC College Football Team to curl up and die! (Can Ray Lewis arrange for someone to do a drive by on Bob Costas and his chinchilla toupee, life will be better on Sunday Night Football.)

    Hey don't even ask me about CBS commentator Vern Lundquist's flight from DFW to Birmingham (on Thursday) and how he tried to hit on the chick next to him in First Class. Nice try Gramps. Vern also whined about no WHITE WINE being available. Turn in your Man-Card, Nacy boy! (He was in Bama to do play-by-play on the Bama vs. Arkansas game) That's another story. Bad Vern! Bad! Now get off the couch!

    Again, thank you Big Ten(Plus Penn State, that is...) for saving the weekend of College Football.

    Now, if a voo-doo mamba can curse USC for the Reggie Bush family payoffs and make sure Tebow's elbow is f'd up for a couple weeks, I'll be happy. Knock Urban Meyer's smirk off his face, puh-leeze! What the heck are "consussion like symptoms on Tim Tebow! Tebow hit a lineman's knee when falling backwards. That looked like the cause of the consussion. When on the sidelines, Tebow puked, which is another concussion result. Keep the kid on the sideline for a couple weeks. I've had an astroturf concussion and I still remember that headache!

    Damn, I just ran out of Kentucky bourbon! Back to you in the booth, guys!

    And now, back to terrible REALITY TELEVISION and DANCING WITH THE EUNICHS!

    Fantasy Sports...Why? I Don't Get It!

    Sunday, August 16, 2009, 04:28 PM EST [NFL]

    What is it with Fantasy Sports!

    I don't get it and never will.

    PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU DUDES AND DUDETTES DIG ON FANTASY LEAGUES, please.  I really want to know.  The "leagues" seem to ruin enjoying the game.  Last fall, an Indy fan cheered against Peyton Manning because of his drafted players!  WTF!!!  This guy was counseled out of  fantasy leagues by his friends and family.  For some, these fantasy leagues are like crack.  I don't get why and never will.

    Most of us have 200 channels on the boob tube(23 of which are worth any viewing!) and our minds have the attention span of Sig Eps at a Chi Omega lingerie party(that's boys at a girls party...)

    My friends try to force me into their annual NFL Fantasy Draft.  Each year I say, "Hell no, you tards.  I like beer and  babes, not your calling each other to trade a QB that's under performing, according to estimates."  I end up being the draft official/Ombudsman(adult word for Arbiter) and peacemaker.

    Fantasy sports are beyond fake!  It's worse than the WWE. 

    What clicked in your brain that made you dig on FANTASY SPORTS.

    I need to understand why Fantasy Sports are loved.

    Yeah, you can rag on me, but I'll give you this...I dig on televised poker.  That's the equivalent of liking Fantasy Sports.  C'mon World Series of Poker,  get here now.  Then again, the next time I hear someone call Phil Ivey the Tiger Woods of Poker, I'll go to Vegas and strangle the announcer.

    "Yeah, I'll trade you Phil Helmuth for Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan...sweet."

    Vick knocks Favre off the front page: Vick still a pariah

    Tuesday, July 21, 2009, 11:00 PM EST [General]

    What did it take to knock Brett FarveFavre off the sports page!

    It took all the media pundits in love with Vick's balling skills, that's what.

    Far more of us want Vick out of the league in 2009.

    There's nothing in the Bill of Rights that guarantees a roster spot in the NFL.   I'm right because I checked the copy on my bicep.

    The whiny kiddies scream for Vick's reinstatement just don't get it.  Try curling up next to a dog or cat for a few hours.   If you don't have one as a roommate, borrow one.  The honest and sincere hugs a human receives from the four-legged crowd can't be faked.

    Why does 'doing your time' automatically qualify you for NFL sainthood?  Being involved in organized, interstate crime should be a lifetime suspension.  Shoeless Joe Jackson was never proven to cheat, yet he's still ineligible for the Hall of Fame.  Guilt by association matters and Vick was the lowlife in charge of the association.  Gitmo anyone?

    Guess what! If your employer finds out you've been busted for a FELONY, you're fired and when you get out of the slammer, you don't get your old job back.  That's reality for those of us who have a clue, pay taxes and get up to go to a job we no longer love.  Reality bites and so does Vick.

    NO VICK in 2009!

    Who said this: "I can do whatever I want and y'all still gonna love me?"   You know!
