Stuff I Want To Complain About

Fantasy football first, I wish I could say I am enjoying this season, but after this week despite my losses, I am. It looks like the teams in our leagues with the best RBs(see also healthiest) will win it. Thankfully somethings don't change.

I am tired of the cannoninizing of Tom Brady. All the Pats do is pass, can't anyone stop that. They can't run with any physicality at all. All they do is pass, who can stop them. I've got the answer, the Colts. They will eat up the clock with their running game lead by Joey Addai and keep Tom and Randy(who I still maintain will self-destruct eventually) on the sideline. Don't worry folks the Colts win it all eventually again this year.

Other items to complain about, Law and Order, come on. I thought the whole Melissa Joan Hart as a hot teacher would be good, but I guess I have to rely on old episodes of Sabrina for my MJH fix. Or if I am feeling really lecherous Clarissa Explains It All. Both SUV and Criminal Intent(now on USA only) are kind of weak this year. I am hoping they bring back the Olivia D'Abo character to take on Detective Goren. Vincent D'Onofrio just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Is It Just Me or Does Heroes Really Stink This Year?

Thought I would elaborate on a point from last week. Heroes got a little better this week, but still way too subpar. OK, even if I could regenerate I'm not using household scissors to cut off my pinky. Come on! I'm probably not even doing it without about six shots of JD in me, regeneration or not. Claire should be one of the best characters, I mean forget that fact it's Hayden Panietiere and she can't act at all. It's just totally unreal(yes I know I'm saying this about a show about super heroes), and stupid, of course a bunch of you reading this are like, well if you could regenerate you couldn't get drunk anyways. I know which leads me to my big philosophical assessment about regeneration, you aren't any tougher because you can regenerate. Next week could be the last week for me and Heroes, if it is a choice between Halo 3(which is like 500 times better than the beta) and the show it might be Halo 3.

Football time, I saw on the power rankings the Pats fans talking smack. "Who on the Colts can cover Randy Moss?" Well, what if it is a playoff game and he just decides to give up? Which Randy Moss has done before. Let the Pats lose a game or two, then we will see the love for Randy ;) Forget all of that, none of the Colts needs to cover Randy Moss one-on-one. The Colts O can keep up with the Pats O, and so far we haven't seen a team do that. It's easy to throw downfield when you are up by a couple of scores. I think if the game were played today the Colts win 31-28. (What a copout!) They can run the ball with more physical presence and probably wear down an old Pats D. Pats fans, don't be like the Ravens and count your chickens before they hatch.

By the way, Colts lose this week to TB. The Pats lose in two weeks to Big D. Cowboys lose this week. By week seven the only undefeated team, "the old man and the team." The Pack,baby.

Been a long time since I posted

Wow, it's been a while. A good bit has happened that I would like to share with you.



Been thinking alot about getting a little bit older with this whole turning 35. That has lead me to a lot of spiritual/philosophical thinking. When I think spiritually or philosophically I think in terms of, of course, football. Doug and I were pretty buzzed after the draft and we were both talking about feeling like C-Mart. For all his career Curtis Martin ran, caught, and even threw(though not that often) the ball far too many times for even a great NFL rb. Him and I are roughly the same age, and now he is in a bone on bone knee situation. Feeling like Curtis Martin, really isn't such a bad thing. It means 1) you are a first ballot HOFer(I might get some arguments on this but wait and see, wait and see), 2) someone, trusts you to be the "man" and finally 3)somewhere there is a Kevin Mawae clearing the middle for you to run through. Needless to say, Curtis Martin also got to touch the ball plenty of times and make things happen. So I guess what I am trying to say is yes it is hard to be a Curtis Martin, but clearly it isn't all bad. By the way, Doug is a good bit of fun to get buzzed with.



Fantasy football wise, I won the money league and it looks like I am in the strange position of having a bevy of good WRs. I can't describe that, because this may be the first year I am in that position(thanks Nicky for dropping Dwayne Bowe!!). Next year I will have plenty of good keepers with my young WRs and the always cute(at least according to Cora) Chris Cooley. Bet wise, guess who won and who lost, yes that's right the Lions won and the Ravens lost. Remember who said all summer the Ravens had no serious injuries last year...that would be me. Truthfully, it looks like the Ravens and the Chargers may have been products of their schedules last year. Parity in the NFL is just a joke. Right now I am looking forward to either Peyton "SNL" Manning or Tom "Who's Your Daddy(copyright Candi, 2007)" Brady taking it to Tony "Took a Louisville Slugger to Both Headlights" Romo in the SuperBowl.
