The Best Football Weekend In a Long,Long Time

First off, Art Monk Canton bound. What sportswriter's ass did he miss kissing that it took him eight years to get in? He had the numbers all along, and what three rings? I just don't get it. But with that news on Saturday I thought it can't get any better, football wise.

I was wrong. I still thought even when the Giants held onto the ball almost ten minutes that don't worry the Patriots will find some way to squeak it out. Thank you Karma Police for this correction. Brady spent the pre game show laughing about how he sucks as a father, his girlfriend is up in the booth drinking wine(what kind of bourgeois bullshit is that anyways), meanwhile all Eli has is his brother in a (what looked like even in HD) cheap ass jacket cheering him on. Who can blame Peyton for wearing less than acceptable clothing for a multi-millionaire, as it looked like he was going to puke any second, himself. I thought it would have been great if Peyton had handed Eli the keys to the car(for winning MVP). Nonetheless, perfection is hard if not impossible to maintain, and truthfully I think that the Pats won't be nearly as good next year. So look at CBS' Top 200 list and leave Brady number two in your mind as much as you want. I say thank you. He won't throw 30 TDs next year. He can't. There was all this talk online about beating the Pats. The formula was simple, get Brady on his butt. The G-Men did that, and don't worry more teams will be able to do it next year. However, besides the Bills they are still in an extremely weak division so they would have to collaps completely to not make the playoffs.

After the Super Bowl Candi found out she had to have her Gall Bladder removed, but at least she waited until after that great karmatic correction to be extremely sick. She's ok, and home now. She can't drive but would probably appreciate the well wishes if you think of it and would like to call.

Comic book wise, Glen Burnie library actually had an Elephantmen Graphic Novel. I enjoyed it, as sort of an action adventure sci-fi story. I think it's hard to read a comic book story with no real appreciable story arc(or if it was there it was cut off) and different artists pratically issue to issue. Throw in Comiccraft coloring and it sabotages what could have been a really great comic just to pretty good. I'm reading a Mike Mignola novel called Baltimore now, interesting if a bit slow.
