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.
