Here's my thing
Sunday December 16, 2007
The Bucs beat the hapless Falcons today, 37-3, and clinched the NFC South division title. Nice going guys. Garcia looked more than a bit rusty, but he got the job done. This just in -- Deangelo Hall is a punk! The Falcons are in complete disarray as evidenced by their complete lack of discipline on the field. Also, the Bucs got a touchdown on a kickoff return! The first one in team history! That's 31 years folks! Talk about your law of averages finally catching up.
Back to the birds for a minute. I'm a bit tired of the hyperbole over Petrino's exit. Was it classless? Sure. But these players jump ship given any excuse -- signed contract? Fugeddaboutit, I want to re-negotiate! Hold outs, etc., these guys live in glass houses when it comes to contracts, so pipe down. The owner should have insisted in a clause forbidding contact during the season. I mean he got Petrino from another team after he skipped on his contract there. What did he expect?
And another thing. As evidenced by the classless Hall, apparently the defense didn't want to have anything to do with the head coach, going so far as refusing to implement schemes he wanted. Who's running the team? The coach or the players?
That team is a mess from top to bottom and it's going to take more than a new coach to clean things up.
Hey Rich McKay -- how's the view up there? Still think Gruden's so hard to work with? | | Posted by postaldog at 5:56 PM - | |

Wow! Nice game by the third stringer, huh? 300+ yards, 2 touchdowns including the game winner by McCown. What a nice debut. Which kind of makes me wonder why he's been third string all this time. Other than the shoulder rehab of course. Naturally, all that production would have been for naught if the Saints hadn't tried to get all fancy with that reverse at the end of the game. But hey, that's why they play 60 minutes. You've got to finish. Nice to see Chucky break open the playbook, too. Gruden reputedly has the most voluminous playbook in the NFL, maybe we'll see a bit more of it over the next couple of weeks.
How about the Sox looking at Santana? Boy would that be a dagger in the Jankee's heart if we could land him! And what a one-two punch with Beckett and Santana at the top of the rotation. Ooh, I'm getting dizzy. heh heh
I see JLH is lashing out at those who posted and commented on the unflattering bikini pics of her recently (see post below). She says she's happy with her body. Cool. I'm happy for her. But she's in an image driven industry, I was just kind of shocked at how she'd let herself go at such a young age. But if she's happy, I'm happy. | | | |

The boys finally got off the schneid last night, beating the Bruins 4-1 at the Ice Palace. Yeah, I refuse to call it the St. Pete Times Forum. Sue me. Anyway, the GM called the guys out earlier in the day saying, correctly, that the team was too talented and too high payroll to be at the bottom of the league, mired in a six game losing streak. The coach is safe, but as the team is hemorraging money, they won't hesistate cutting players who refuse to perform up to their pay status. Tough talk, but necessary. I've said before that I don't understand how these guys go throught these long losing streaks. Even without a star goalie, they should be able to win and finish off opponents. I hate the thought of this team being broken up, but it is a possibility. pity
In the no-brainer of the weekend, the Bucs might start McCown in today's game. Not sure where the hesitation is coming from. Garcia cannot and should not start -- his back must be protected for the post season. Gradkowski is a complete disaster at QB. Even with eleven games experience as a starter, he looked like he had never seen a football before last week. And for some reason, after a season of screaming at the kid, Chucky forgot just how ineffective Grad was/is. Defense may keep the guys in the game today. I'm praying for a breakout performance from McCown. we'll see

Anyway, they have a bit about Christina Aguilera doing the naked thing in this month's issue of Marie Claire. Their assertion is that Christina was relegated to irrelevant status during the VMA's when Madonna kissed Britney.
Yeah, irrelevant.
I'm sorry, but whose recent CD did better? The most talented singer in the industry -- Christina, or miss popwreck -- Britney? If that's their definition of irrelevant, I think there are a lot of performers who would like to be that irrelevant. You know? |

And this is just a little shout out to Anna Faris -- a Happy Birthday to Anna for turning 31 on November 29th.
As I mentioned before, I've been a fan of hers since the first Scary Movie movie and was correct in thinking that she was much hotter than what those idiot Wayans' allowed her to be.
She's got a bunch of movies coming out soon, including another Scary Movie. She has joked that the series is like a retirement account for her.
Don't retire too soon, cutie. |

So I have not been bringing my lunch to work this week because I was lazy and didn't go shopping this weekend. Today, I dropped by our local Subway for lunch. It's a small place, with a tiny parking lot that has only four or five parking spots and two spots for handicapped patrons.
As I pull in the lot, I see a yard maintanance truck in the lot. The typically huge, mega-king-cab, extended bed truck also had a trailer on the back with a couple of mowers and an assortment of rakes, blowers, etc. dangling out at all angles. The vehicle is pulled perpendicular to the parking spaces so that it blocks every single parking space except the two handicapped spots.
The lot goes behind the shop but is not wide enough for anyone except the employees to park their cars. So when I pull in, there's no place to park. Knowing that I'll only be a few minutes, I park in front of the dumpster and pop in to get my lunch.
The two lawn guys are getting their sandwiches in front of me. They get their stuff and leave. I get my sandwich and walk out the door. And there they are.
Instead of leaving, they are leaning against their truck eating their sandwiches! Blocking the whole lot so no one else can park there! Am I missing something?!
As I walk by shaking my head, the one guy gives me a dirty look. I get in my vehicle to leave and drive by shaking my head again. The guy looks at me with a scowl and goes, "What?
So I go, "Yeah, 'cause no one else is going to want to park here today!" And this hillbilly looking clown glares at me with a mixture of anger and annoyance. Like I'm the trouble here!
Sometimes the sheer "Hooray for me, p**s on everyone else!" attitude people have just astounds me. I mean seriously, how self-involved can you be?
sigh

Okay, I'm worn out from trying to live blog the YouTube debate for my Huckabee blog. So this is just sort of a palette cleanser for my fried brain . . .
On the top we have ex-supermodel Cindy Crawford, 41 years old and mother of two. On the bottom, we have Jennifer Love Hewitt, 28 years old, no children and last time I saw her in a movie, looked pretty hot.
So what happened? | | | |
