I’ve always been one to say “to each their own”. You do what you wish with whatever makes you happy, as long as it doesn’t harm my, or others, physical or mental well being. You want to walk around with your pants down to your knees? Have at it.
You want to snort glue? Have fun.

You want to drink water until you puke or die? Hey, it’s your life. Who the hell am I to stop you?

The thing that burns me is the total lack of personal responsibility. There are a ton of people who insist on blaming others for their own mistakes. These usually turn into stupid lawsuits. I have a phrase for that “Only in America can you take your common sense and flush it down the toilet and then turn around and sue the toilet manufacturer for taking your common sense!”
The fact that bars are responsible for making sure that everybody does not go out driving drunk is one of the top hot spots for me over this subject.
I mean, a dumb shit can go into a bar, get plastered, go drive and kill himself, and the family can go sue the bar owner! That is utterly ridicules! The bar owner didn’t shove the alcohol down his/her throat!! So why the hell is the bar owner responsible for the accident?? Again, because there are a lot of deadbeats out there that won’t take responsibility for themselves. They want the freakin world to pay their way. A personal screwup was done and they want someone else to pay for it instead of admitting that he/she fucked up. NOPE!! Not in America. I can go sue somebody when I do something on my own and screwed up.
Now, I agree there are times when a lawsuit is warranted like over malfunctioning equipment but to go willingly into a bar and then have yourself killed afterwards?? NO! You’re the dumbshit that KNEW if you drank all that alcohol that you would be impaired to drive. Just like the dumshits that smoked cigarettes and sued for having LUNG CANCER!! Yes, that’s another hot spot subject too.

Anyways, I need to get back on the reason for this post.
Seems there was a radio contest a few years ago involving a water drinking contest. They would have some people willing to drink as much water as they could without going to the bathroom. The winner would get a Nintendo Wii with the contest called “Hold your wee for a Wii”
Welp, a 28 year old woman died from this contest of acute water intoxication.
Her family sued and won……. WHAT!!!?!??
Yes, won over $16 million.
Again, how the fuck is the radio station at fault here??? They didn’t shove that water down her damn throat!! Too much of ANYTHING is bad for you. Common knowledge.
I didn’t see any of the other contestants dying from this contest! Probably because they were SMARTER!! You want to exert yourself beyond your capacity, then go at it BUT if your body fails because of it then DON’T blame someone else PERIOD!
So again, here we have a tragic death but it was all from her wanting to go beyond what the body should handle, but to have the family SUE because of her own actions, and then WINNING that lawsuit?? BULLSHIT!!

I’m telling ya, I’m on the verge of suing all of the desert companies because they made me diabetic. I’m suing all the pizza joints because they made me fat. Yup. If these morons can do it and win… then so should I…..

So… you fellas around the Philadelphia area had a chance to have a … “good time” with a “gorgeous tall buxom blonde” if you were willing to part with some World Series tickets. She was desperate for two World Series tickets and stated “Price negotiable — I’m the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!’’

I’ve heard of desperation fans, and I’m quite sure this happens all the time, but to have it out there for interpretation for the whole world to see? Wow.
Well, of course, an undercover cop responded to the ad and found she was allegedly promising sex.

To top it all off, she’s MARRIED! Yes, she wanted to do “whatever” to get a pair of tickets for her and the hubby! Now THERE’S loyalty for ya….. doing whatever it takes to get a pair of tickets to take your hubby out for a World Series game.
Now, there’s no word as to what he thinks of all this. Well, what CAN he say? “Well she was willing to bang another guy BUT she was trying to get us tickets to a World Series game!”
HA! Can you imagine if she managed to get these tickets and what the hubby would say?
“You did WHAT? To who?? How DARE you have sex with …… What?….. You got tickets to a World Series game?…… OH! Why didn’t you SAY so in the first place!! OK, let’s go! WOOO HOOO!!”
“Yea, buddy, we’re going to the game tonight. My wife worked hard for these!”

HA! I could go on and on……

Anyways, she’s getting tickets from a local radio station. They believe she’s just an overzealous fan. She also has a facebook account, if anybody is interested, and it seems she has a lot of supporters. Yea, from all angles I’m sure….

The legal issue is still going on.
Just slap her with a fine (or just slap her) and let her go. To lock her up for wanting to part for someone willing to part from their tickets is ridicules.

So there you have it. Another “5 minutes of fame” story. I’m sure we haven’t heard the last of her. She’ll be on some talk show…….

Oh boy…. Where can I start…..

Well let’s start with if you didn’t see the movie yet but will then stop reading. Spoilers ahead!

Now let’s start with that the movie was better than I thought it would be.
I was quite worried about Abrams “sexing” it up. The movie manages to mostly stay away from it with little scenes here and there but didn’t over-do it.

My favorite was Bones. Karl Urban really got the character down.

Now after watching this movie, I now understand why some would come out of it upset.
If you go to see this movie with the mindset that this is a Star Trek sequel, you will be disappointed.
If you go in with the mindset that this is a new Star Trek universe then all is well.
With this movie, Abrams indeed made a “reboot” of Star Trek, starting all over due history was changed, starting from Kirk’s father time, due to a black hole made from the future. Abrams now has his own Star Trek universe to play with instead of wondering who did what in history. So, you can basically say this is Star Trek Universe 2.0 (STU2).

Yes, all that you know from the original series up to the Voyager series is now gone. But is it? Well it all depends on where you stand. If you stand in this STU2 then yes, forget all you know about who did what. BUT, if you stand in the original universe (STU1) then all you know isn’t gone, only that STU1 lost Spock forever (well you never know) through that black hole that was created. He now lives in STU2, which also has the young Spock so, yes, STU2 has two Spocks, the young one and the future one (from STU1).
Yes I know, I’m getting technical but I’m just trying to help clarify the Star Trek universes before some Trekies jump off buildings with the thought of all that they knew of Star Trek is now ka-put, over, finished, done, nada, gone, fin, ……

The good thing about what Abrams has done is for people who never saw any of the Star Trek series or movies, this will be a good movie to jump in with.

Now here’s a question that WILL get a reaction from ya….
Will the two universes ever meet? A crossover of sorts like in the Original Series episode Mirror. Mirror? Hhhhmmmmmmmm
I’d say no but…….

OK, I’ve had this post in my head for quite some time now. Years actually. It wasn’t until I had a small conversation with someone about this that made me want to write it out.

Oddly enough, this started in my nose doc’s waiting room. I was sitting there watching an episode of Oprah on the waiting room’s TV. Usually I don’t watch these “talk” shows, gets me too emotional with rage being dominant, because most of these “shows” just focus on ratings and “dig up” what I call re-tar-da-tion. Oh sure, occasionally they actually get someone or a group that really needs to be seen and/or heard but for the most part… trash (but that’s for another post).

ANYWAYS, this episode had the father of the octo-mom (her nickname it seems). I was paying half attention to it, since I was playing UNO on my phone so to make the time go faster, until I heard him agree that something is not right with her. I was surprised with that since most of the time genetics dominates and the parents are usually not too far away in how their children think (when you see a “screwed up” person, you can sometimes understand why when you see the parents. Heck you should see MINE! HA! Just kiddin Ma! Don’t hit me with the hanger again!) ANYWAYS, what really peaked my interest was that he DID agree with her. He believed the children were GOD’s will….

OK, I’ll pause it there.

So, it’s GOD’s will that brought these poor kids to her life?? I asked that very question to someone and that person agreed. Well, here is where I disagree. I have a hard time believing in GOD’s will over free will. Now don’t get the wrong idea of me, I do believe in GOD. I believe he/she/it came up with a plan, created, and let it “grow”. I even believe in the occasional “miracle” or times that GOD does give his input and the power of prayer but I truly believe part of the plan was to leave it up to us as humans to run our lives. I mean, I have a hard time thinking my life is run by a plan from GOD or that I’m a puppet and he has the strings. I believe good things are good and bad things are bad and that GOD has nothing to do with either.  To me that makes logical sense because when bad things do happen, the bad things just happen and that GOD didn’t just sit up one day and said “You know what? I think I’ll give this person a bad issue…” I can see how people come up with this idea, especially for those that believe that all great things are made from GOD so therefore the bad things are also done by GOD. No, the GOD I believe in wouldn’t just make bad things. He/she/it just lets things run it’s course. I decide if I want to do good things, just like I decide if I want to do bad things. Why can’t good things just be what they are? Why can’t we just call them Good Things and not Good Things by the Grace of GOD? Let’s say I did a good thing. Why does it have to be said that GOD made me do the good thing? Why can’t I have the credit of doing the good thing? If GOD made me do the good thing, then why bother living? Well the same goes to bad things as well. The GOD I believe in just lets things happen, not causes them, good OR bad. Another example is, what if for some reason I decide kill someone? Did GOD make me kill that person? Let me ask you this: Are you gonna go off on GOD and ask why he/she/it DID this or are you gonna ask why he/she/it LET this happen? Aren’t you gonna ask ME why I did what I did?  You see… FREE WILL baby! 

I also believe that when a couple decides to bring a child to the world, they decide when and how to raise this child. So where is it that says GOD gave the OK to allow the child to be born? What if the mother decides to do nasty drugs during pregnancy? If the pregnancy goes bad, was that GOD’s will? If so, why? If the pregnancy goes through and a child is born with all kinds of problems, was that GOD’s will too? You see, Free will allowed the mother to have a pregnancy, do the nasty drugs and cause the problems. Why would GOD allow the mother to do the awful things and then make the decision to allow a child to be born or not?? Does not make any sense to me whatsoever. Take this latest example: Was it GOD’s will to make her have those 8 kids? Why can’t science get the credit for this? Wasn’t it her decision to do the drugs? It’s sorta like if you create a great invention at work and your boss gets the full credit!! Science is therefore on a lose-lose situation. If the births made it then science won BUT overshadowed that it was GOD that made it happen but if something went wrong with the births then science lost and is still overshadowed that it was GOD’s will to not allow it.

Another example, and this one really cracks me up, is athletes.  A lot of them, it seems, that when they win, it was because of GOD but when they loose, it was somebody else. Wait a minute. So you’re telling me that GOD watches your game and then decides to go “Oh why not, I’ll make them win”?? Yea, right. A football great Reggie White was great for this. If his team won, it was for the grace of GOD and his GOD given talents but if the team lost, then it was because of someone else. I won’t pick on Reggie since he wasn’t the only one that believed this but he was the most vocal. Besides, he was truly religious and GOD bless him. Still my point is why can’t an individual get credit for something that he/she worked so hard for? You’re gonna tell me it was GOD’s will that made each and every one of the teams participant win and not their talent? Oh and are you then gonna tell me it was GOD’s will that MADE then work so hard for that talent? Again, that shows that we are puppets and that life is meaningless since we are not in the driver seat. The only thing I hope for when I see an athlete praying is that he/she is praying for no injuries to ANYBODY in ANY team. If you pray for a win then you’re just plain selfish.

Everybody has his/her own opinion and I respect beliefs. All I care about is if you are a good person or a bad person. I could care less as to your beliefs in GOD or not. It’s your life. Another Free Will!

Again, all of this is just MY opinion and who cares anyways…….

Oh good lord! 2009 is NOT gonna be a nice year I see…..

I have a couple of issues with my own body system. Losing signal and having extra growth where it’s NOT needed… (sounds like a typical Microsoft program)

Colleen’s father had to put his poor sick dog to sleep.

One of my dogs bit my neighbor’s dog’s eye out. This was done SOMEHOW with a chainlink fence between them…..

My parents’ birds just died.

Makes me VERY scared to ask what’s next!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

     OK, I actually don’t mind grocery shopping. I really don’t BUT… yea….. here it comes….

     I have 2 major problems with grocery shopping.

1) The design of just about any grocery store.

The bigger the store the more junk they put in it! The smaller the store, the less of variety! Tough balance. They still haven’t found a way to make the isles wider. They measure it out to be JUST as wide as two widths of a shopping cart and maybe a little bit more. That makes a problem when you get into a crowd and need to continue on (a little bit more on that with my problem #2).

Most stores get “cute” when laying out isles like someone wanted the store to get it’s “inner zen” (or something like that)….  Some isles horizontal with some verticals thrown in. I feel like a freakin mouse in a damn maze.

When they build a big store, I think “Nice, maybe they’ll be wider isles!”. Nope, bigger stores just mean more JUNK to put into it just so they can put the widths of the isles “the same as usual”…  UG! I mean, when I think of needing an alarm clock or a quart of 10W-40 motor oil, the first think that comes to mind is to go to a GROCERY STORE!! Good lord….

Why don’t they get rid of stupid crap like that and make the store easier to maneuver around? Yea, right…. and get rid of the small chance that someone will need to buy a Chinese built microwave? NOPE! Must have that!! WOOO HOOOO! Oh boy….

Then there are the registers. Oh man… during “rush hour” there’s just not enough room for the people who stand in line along with ones that just want to go to the next isle! We scream for more registers… and we get them….. but it’s one of those “dumb as an Engineer” type of deal. “Hey this store needs more registers!” “OK, here they are, BYE” “YAY, they finally have more registers!” “Hey, they have more registers but they’re closed” “So? You asked for more registers. What more do you want?” “uuuu, well maybe come cahiers to RUN them?” “Well, you didn’t ASK for that!!”   Yes, that type of deal.

2) The people.

The second problem I have with grocery shopping is that for some reason when people walk in a store… most go BRAINDEAD! Yes, it’s like most people in one think they OWN the damn store and “How dare you be in here too!” Like I said before, the brain science that design the widths of the isles is centuries old, and I love it when I need to go down one of these “great thoughts”  isles, there’s usually a freakin IDIOT that parks their cart IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLE and either walks away or just stands there in deep thought “Did I leave the iron on?” “I wonder if that dress I brought makes my butt look big?” “How should I break up with my girlfriend?” “I wonder if I can buy that TV in Isle 7 cheaper at Acme?”

Of course there’s the problem of Who yields to who? I’m always looking when I cart through and it seems there’s no rule as to who yields when two carts meet. Is it who comes out of the isles that yields or the one that going across? I know what I believe the answer should be but I swear the poll would be 50-50.

The other day we went shopping and it was crowded. I was going across and I found myself stuck waiting for a couple of people coming out of an isle. At that time I see others going around me to continue through and there you go…. a logjam! So I sit there waiting for the idiots all around me to DECIDE what to do… some were doing the ol “I’ll just park my cart RIGHT HERE and walk over to the orange juice”, others just sitting there too wondering how they can get out or just through. Like I said, a logjam. I finally just couldn’t hold it back anymore. I really tried but I have a very small gray area between tolerance and explosion. I finally yelled “I HATE SHOPPING HERE” and just barreled through and cutting off anybody that finally had two brain cells to have the thought of “Hey, I think I’ll get out of my coma and move now”. The poor wife was quite confused and wondering what happened to me. We finished as quick as we could just to get me out and have my face a lesser red.

We decided to either shop during the weekdays or just go very late.

Here is where I get stuck on. Why do people have to do that? It’s sad to think that common courtesy is dying. I say it’s not dead since there are still good people out there but it just seems the amount of assholes out there are outweighing the good people 10 to 1!! I understand that shopping is a hassle but so do other people, so why do we need to make it worse?

One of my great memories in my past is my mother and I going shopping at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. We were up late one night and asked “Why not?” Man, that was THE best grocery shopping experience I have EVER had. Barely anybody there. Loved it!

     This has always been a confusing issue with me. I mean personally, I don’t get it. I really don’t and I truly believe I’m the only one that thinks this. I’ve tried to discuss this with various people throughout my life and they all end up with the word “closure” somewhere in the sentence. For me, I guess I don’t need it to go as far as a viewing. When I’m told a certain person has passed, I usually stop and reflect on who that person was and did, feel sad that the individual’s presence will no longer be around, and then feel good that the person is in a better place than where I am now (well, at least for the good people on this world). That’s it, that’s all I need. I do not like viewings, despise them. I know, you folks don’t like them either and will also throw me that “closure” word at me again and if that is truly what you need then go at it but I really don’t need it or want it. I hate the fact that the viewings I’ve been to, leaves me with a memory that I do not want, the final image. I hate that final image that’s mixed in with all the other great images in my mind of that individual. Three of my four grandparents have passed away, I went to two of the viewings but the last one, my last grandfather, I didn’t make it to. There was the issue of a huge snow storm and I would have had to drive my mother from New Jersey to Tennessee, which I would have done with no hesitation (I have little problem with driving in snow) but mother decided to stay and remember in her own way and avoid the hassle of the snow storm. For me, I was glad I didn’t get to go. I absolutely love the fact I do not have that final image in my head. I have only the great memories of my grandfather of his train whistle, his double joints, and his stories of his military service.

So, why did I even go to the ones in the past? It comes down to that I want to show my support and that’s the best time to do it but then it comes down to that damn final image so I’m stuck with the best thing to do is go and deal with my own problem later. There is the fact that a lot of people use that as “social points”. If you went, then you got “positive points” but if you didn’t then you got “negative points” and they sorta shun you for not going. I could care less for “social points” and if people are keeping score on me then I’ll tell them where to shove the scorecard. (But before you shove it, make sure to jot down the negative points for telling you where to shove it).

OK, let me get to the reason this issue even came up. I just recently went to a Quaker funeral for a fellow co-worker. They call it a Meeting. Everybody goes to the Quaker Meeting House and basically for 1 hour, sit in silence. Now during this 1 hour, you are welcomed to just stand where you are and give a thought or a story about the one that passed and just sit back down. There is no viewing because that is the time to think of the good times and listen to the thoughts and stories from others. After that 1 hour (I’ve heard it can last even longer if needed), you just stand and shake the hand of everybody that’s around you. There is a reception in another room, which from there you can talk freely with anybody and have some baked goods and look at pictures.

Let me tell you, I thought that was the best funeral I’ve been to. To me, THAT made sense. You get to listen to good stories and hear their thoughts of what that person meant to them and how life will change. I loved listening to the good stories, funny stories, and stories that tugged at my heartstrings. I got to see another side of this individual and found how much he was loved and how much he loved. The reception was low key, stood around in a room, talked with his wife, kids, and grandkids. The baked goods were nice (mostly sweet stuff that I was able to avoid while holding on to my will power for dear life). I loved the pictures. Got to see his life at various times from childhood to recent.

That is what I would rather have for when my number is called. No viewing. I want you to remember me that way I was and not have that final image. Heck, I would even want to have a party (isn’t that the way Irish people do it?). Have a drink on me. Use curse words if you want! Tell stories of my bad AND good times. If GOD willing, I’ll be with you folks there drinking, toasting, laughing, and yes, even crying if it has to go there.

I know, you folks are probably reading this and shaking your head but I NEVER said anything about me being normal. I never was normal. But I just wanted to get out the fact of how much I hate the traditional viewings and funerals. It shouldn’t be like it is but that is just MY opinion and no one else’s.  Like I said, I understand the need for the usual viewings and I say do whatever works for you. I know I’m the minority of what I believe but I am what I am.

Oh dear lord… my Boyz have gone brain dead….

Must be something in that Arizona water.

It affected BOTH teams.

I tell ya, they could easily make a humorous highlights reel off that game alone and set it to the music of Benny Hill…. Yes, it was that bad and funny….

Romo couldn’t hold on the ball. He couldn’t throw either but I blame that on the brain dead O-line which seemed to have forgotten how to block…..ANYTHING….

Speaking of the brain challenged O-line, after a touchdown, our guard actually ran to pick up the ball …. AND SPIKES IT in front of a Cardinal!! DUH!! Yup, there goes the flag… taunting…. AAAAAAAAAAA

It gets better folks…..

Here’s Romo in the shotgun formation, for several seconds he’s screaming for the ball from his center… and the center is just staring at him!! Yup, flag, delay of game…

T.O. was even yelling at him for that one. He was yelling at a few players and for once, I’m with him on this. He could have taken a 2X4 across some skulls and I would have cheered.

Our other receivers would sometimes treat the football like a hot potato.

Speaking of which, here’s another funny… seems even the commentators drank the water… This is from the best QB the Cowboys had…. Troy commented on our #2 WR Crayton and said he drops a lot of balls but has one of the best hands in the league…….

WHAT??? Troy… think about what you just said there….. ug

The game didn’t start off good at all, which should have been a sign for things to come. On the starting kickoff, the Cardinal’s return man makes a touchdown due to the Cowboy players thinking it was TOUCH football. I mean, what IS it with players thinking this…

“Yo coach! I touched him!! He should have stopped when …. Awwww shoot… I forgot… I’m in the MFL.. the Mutha Fu… oh wait… that’s NFL…. My bad….”

DING!! (yea, Rob knows what I mean)

Then there’s the head coach… I never made it a secret that I don’t like him. My dislike comes from what I saw of him when he was the head coach of the BILLS and what he did to Doug Flutie. (another story). He coaches with the likes of a marshmallow.

“Well shucks guys… I don’t know what happened… “ Yea, no shit Sherlock, your face told me that throughout the game…

Yea, I love my Boyz but this head coach has GOT to go before the wheels fall completely off. He’s taken a Parcells team and just let it roll with no adjustments and guidance. Just like Switzer did with Jimmy Johnson’s team…….

Well, I guess it could be worse…. It still can be too unless there are some changes done……

It was quite a funny game to watch. I’m just glad that most of you folks didn’t get to see it. You would have wanted those hours back for something much better like watching a real game… or watch grass grow…..

Yup, I wasn’t happy Sunday night, even though I did get some laughs….

As for getting worse, we could have been the Deadskins losing to the Rams.

Hey, would you look at that… my Boyz play them next… I wonder who will win?

Well, can someone tell me how the water is in St. Louis??

So, T.O. is gonna split my team up eh? Damn. Now what am I gonna do? Oh I know, tell the media to go to Iraq and help find the WMDs.

You know, the media is so on T.O.’s ass all the time that he can’t fart without having the possibility of a lawsuit of attempted murder with lethal gas to a reporter.

Don’t get me wrong, I could care less for T.O. as a person. He’s an arrogant shithead prima donna narcissist. Now T.O as a player, I respect him. He plays his heart out and takes VERY good care of himself to be the best athlete. When he had a broken leg with the Igles, it seemed that I was the only one that said he would actually play in the Super Bowl that season IF the Igles made it there. Sure enough, the Igles made it and he played. Now what the Igles did at the Super Bowl is for another discussion… ug

Heck, there was a time I even wanted to take a 2X4 across his skull when he did his stance on the Dallas star while he was a 49er. Oh yea, I was fit to be tied. That was the T.O. as a person, that’s the part I can’t stand.

So yea, needless to say, I have mixed feelings toward this guy.

Now with all that said, I just want to tell the media to go fuck themselves.

Really! I can’t stand reporters. They will poke at ANYTHING to get a rise outta something. Forget that are MUCH better thing to report on, like, (oh gosh, what do they call it..)… OH, I believe it called GOOD NEWS!! They also suck at asking the right questions. They might be reporting on someone who just lost a loved one and, I guarantee it, there will be this one reporter that asks that one STUPID question (come on, you know it) “So, how do you feel about your loved ones death?”. AAARRRGGGG

So anyways, here’s T.O. pissed about losing to the Deadskins and IMMEDIATELY the reporters, Igle fans, and 49er fans state he’ll kill the Cowboys (again, yawn). Of course these are the same assholes that stated that Bill Parcells and Jerry Jones would blowup too. Yea….

Heck, I even have an asshole at work that keeps stating “it’s gonna happen”. He couldn’t count the same number of his toes if he counted twice and he’s gonna predict the Cowboys downfall?!?? Oh boy…

One week, T.O. is praised for what he did on the field and the next he’s being listed as Satan!

Come on folks, can we actually report something that is real news? I doubt it….

Quoted from Brad Sham on the Dallas Cowboys:

This just in: Wolf Blitzer and Fox News join ESPN in revealing how Terrell Owens is the root cause of the problems with the decaying Dallas Cowboys and the collapse of the nation’s financial infrastructure, and is the anti-Christ and personal adviser to evildoers Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-Il and Daniel Snyder.

Da da da … da.

Are you ready for some football!!

Today is starting off good. My Cowboys play tonight against the Igles. Monday night football. Wooooooowe!

Then I found out that I get to go and order one of my most favorite dishes. The Cajun Jambalaya Pasta! Oh yea! I go ga ga over this dish. It’s served at the Cheesecake Factory restaurant.

Yup, a good day indeed….. Tomorrow? Well I guess it all depends on the final score tonight…

Sad but true. Usually when my Boyz loose, I’m Grumpy for the rest of the night. Heck, my poor friend knows now not to call me after a loss. I don’t know why. I mean when I look at myself with the NFL, I see that I’m not a HUGE fan. I can’t go through all the stats and player histories. I just watch the game itself and get into who’s screwing up and who’s trying their heart out. Rob could rant on for hours tell me all the NFL history of players and stats but me? Nope….

I got bit by the NFL bug late in my life. I remember watching football with my grandfather when I was knee-high to a grasshopper but all I saw was guys lining up in two rows and then, boom, they would all pile up on each other. Yea, I got bored with it very quickly. So instead I would go out and play or fish. Now? Now I’m at a point where I wished I understood it back then. Would have LOVED to sit with grandfather and watch some games.

Once the NFL bug bit me, I tried to understand it more with articles and then I bought an NFL game called Front Page Sports and played that for awhile. I also had Rob give me the ins and outs to some of the positions like Linebacker and Defensive Tackle. Poor guy, he was teaching me this through Email while he was overseas doing his Airforce duty.

Anyways, once I got the whole concept of the game, I was hooked. My choice of team was a no-brainer to me. As a kid, I knew the Dallas Cheerleaders…. whoa…. Now I can pay attention to what’s going on in that big ol field behind them.

Now as for tomorrow? Well, you see, where I live (near Philly), the outcome to me is sorta a lose-lose situation for me. If my Boyz loose, I get to hear it for the rest of the week. If my Boyz win, I get to hear it for the rest of the week, but with some hostility.

Welp, I just hope it’s a good game like we all think it will be.

So… Go Cowboys!!!
