A Day without a Bears Game
I never realized how boring a Sunday can be during the football season when the Bears are not playing. I started out watching the Jets play long enough to see Favre throw a pick and then limp off the field. Then I got to watch the Giants beat the Steelers. First of all, whoever picked the Steelers new colors needs to get their head examined. I really hope those are just throw back jerseys because they look like a European football league team with that yellow and black. If that is their new colors, they should disband the team, they are just that ugly. Eli Manning is always fun to watch because I just love rooting against him. How that Manning brother ever won a Super Bowl I will never understand. I really don’t know what to make of him other than being a spoiled brat. For those of you who don’t remember when he came out of college he balked at whatever team drafted him and demanded to be traded. He looks like a nerd that is yet to ever make out with a girl other than his sister, but usually guys like that are smart. Eli always has a look on his face like he doesn’t remember what just happened at any given moment. I wish I could see inside his head and watch the gerbil running around on the wheel in that yokel’s head. But he is an NFL quarterback, so he must have some brain power. He also won today’s game. Looks like Eli will get to go home, pop open a jug of XXXX moonshine and shoot critters to celebrate his win and march to another improbable Super Bowl. I also got to see interim coach Mike Singletary rip his tight end for slapping another player today. He sent this retard to the showers and then blew up in the post game. Way to go Samurai, kick some ass. That is the only way you are going to get respect in the NFL as a coach. He probably sent him to the showers to try and think about how stupid it is to slap someone wearing a football helmet, but that never stops anyone.
That was it for my Sunday, and I am spending it also fighting a cold that caught in the arctic cold of Joliet watching a D2 football game yesterday. I also got to watch one of my new favorite shows on HBO, True Blood. For anyone that hasn’t seen it, it is worth trying out. Pretty interesting story. Although I will never get into Vampires as much as some of those people that role play it and try to be them, I always like the original book and find the mythology sort of interesting. If all else fails, I can always watch old ER reruns. ML
