Football, Comic Books and Old School Country Music What Else Do You Need In Life

Football:
So , who in the world is Joe Flacco anyways? Let's see another tall thin QB with a rocket arm who succeeded against lesser competition. Kyle Boller must be thinking that line from the Pearl Jam song(though Flacco is far too old to be his son). "Admire me, Admire my home, Admire my son, he's my clone." Yeah, there is pretty much no way Flacco will be successful. The Ravens should have even dealt someone like Ray Lewis and their first round pick to Atl to get Matt Ryan. Not to mention Matt Ryan is much more professional than Flacco, oh yeah and he actually played against teams other than Northeast High School, while in college.  The Redskins second round went pretty good, still wish they had shown a little more commitment on D. The scariest thing to me about the draft, the Packers took two QBs. It sort of shoots down my whole thought of taking Aaron Rodgers really late in the fantasy draft.
Life:
I'm sure most of you are aware I turned in my two weeks notice at work. I told them 45% of the issue was me going back to school. 25% was I didn't want poor Colin and Cora to feel like they didn't have a summer at all. Today I'm telling them what the other 30% was, and I won't air dirty laundry on this blog, but it will be tough and stressful. It basically comes down to this, when I was a young kid I used to sing "The Gambler" all the time to my Granny Gray(my father's mother) and the chorus from that song is so true about life. "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money when you are sitting at the table, there will be time enough for counting when the dealing is done." I don't know who wrote that song, but that really is true about life.

OK How about some Football

So the NFL schedule was released today, and I think objectively. My 'Skins and Lions have relatively easy non-divisional games. I have to phrase it that way because we all know the 'Skins are in a tougher division. They play each other again week 8.

Ravens schedule outside their division, tough. Even within their division, are they the worst team? No Cincy is worse. But they have to play the Colts, the Giants (hello didn't they win the superbowl last year, what the hell are the Ravens doing playing them), and yes week 14 The Washington Redskins. I can hardly wait Dec 7, a day that will live in infamy. I'm going right now for the Redskins win. Of course, what else would you expect. I don't get (I'm not a Ravens fan) the ultra tough Ravens schedule.

The Pats have another easy schedule, maybe they can go 18-1 again. The Giants, somewhat tough, but sorry Craig and Big B and I guess Little Regis, they aren't a dynasty. Next year, Superbowl 43 will be a Chargers victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Go ahead and get a good laugh. At least I talked some football.

Two Months, What's Up?

Wow, it's been a while since I blogged.

So it's week two of fantasy baseball, and the first week was rough. Now going into the second week, it looks like maybe Sheets and Zambrano are for real, but Rollins hurt his ankle. Who knows where it is going. It's such a marathon compared to football. Big time.

Been watching this New Amsterdam show and the last time episodes were pretty good, but I just think his partner is the best part. I miss my Californication show.

American Idol, who cares. I think none of them have any appreciable talent.

Reading book two of the Dresden files, like that alot. Read Al Sarrantonio's Horrorween, kind of interesting. I'm getting 13 Bullets by David Wellington from the library. Been reading a lot of horror comics lately. The Walking Dead had it's big prison ending, and I never expected the wife and baby to die and just Rick and the boy to be alive. Talk about rough. At least the Governor got his. Sorrow was kind of interesting. Halloween Nightdance is good, but there is only so much Michael Meyers I can take. It actually is(here is the big shocker comic book fans) a monthly release though so I don't feel to bad getting it. Jason vs Freddy vs Ash, ok who cared. It should have been so much more. Forgot I read a different Freddy novel written by Christina Faust. I think the most interesting thing about the whole book was at the end reading her bio. Apparently she knows Quentin Tarantino, wahoo!

So what else, Charlton Heston is Soylent Green now. Ok you think that is rough, read this quote from the onion , Tracy McManus,Piano Teacher"It must have been comforting for him to pass away peacefully in his home instead of in a MADHOUSE! A MADHOUSE!!!" I cracked up when I read that so much. That's just plain awful laughing at someone dying. Still not as awful as The Ten Commandments(the movie folks).

Maybe WSFB turns around this week, for whatever reason I play the same guy I played last week. Don't ask me to explain that. Till next time.
