a few things
- depsite the overwhelming amount of refugees at the saints/falcons game tonite, some of the refugees are totally hot babes
- i really like TV and would rather watch most primetime shows than go out, which works out well cause i dont exactly have money to go out
- do you realize how awesome mid to late 70s home decor really is?
- how hard is boise state?
- i kind of miss penn state. ok. i dont miss classes, living in filth, cover charges, or all the annoying people walking around, but i do miss having a sharkies, having a close starbucks, and having friends within walking distance.
- im tired of announcers explaining "thats not boo's you're hearing, the crowd is yelling DUCE!" both duces have been playing for a while, i get it.
- how awesome is jared lorenzen? seriously, when a QUARTERBACK is 6'4" 290 with a lazer rocket arm and his nickname is, get ready: THE FATASS WITH THE CANNONBLAST, is there any way you can't like him? whats that? you arent convinced yet? here,
watch the magic happen. If for some reason you don't think that warrants him becoming my favorite third string NFL player aside from M-Rob, your opinion probably doesn't matter to me at all anyways.
- Anyone catch the Dodgers game last monday? 4 home runs in a row, the last being a walk-off, to win?
MAGIC. (Note: keep your ears open for the playing of Zombie Nation, one of my favorite stadium anthems, after each HR. Then, inexplicably, they toss in that crazy Sandstorm song after the 3rd HR) The Pirates go ahead and waltz into Dodgers stadium and sweep the boys in blue, leaving me terribly confused on whether or not to be happy or sad. I was leaning towards indifferent until the Pirates were then swept by the Padres while the Dodgers struggled against the Diamondbacks, making my MLB life hell and leaving me in suspense for the next week wondering if the fucking Phillies are going to the playoffs instead of, what is without a doubt, the only team I root for that is worth my time.
- 11:05pm: I've told Suzy Kolber to shut up, outloud, 7 times since this game has started.
- I should probably go ahead and rant about Penn State's abysmal performances against worthy opponents, but i'm going to keep my mouth shut. Just let it be known I am extremely unhappy with Morelli and the offensive coaches. Is there a logical reason we aren't using d-wheels, d-buts, and JN's talent like we should? Is there a reason we aren't trying to get Morelli comfortable by using more bubble screens and short slants, then letting him drop a deep one to keep the safeties and corners guessing? Why has a leader on offense yet to emerge (I'm looking at you Tony Hunt) to keep everyone focused and loose? I'm done. The season isn't lost and the Viagara.com bowl isn't necessarily our destiny this postseason, but something better change quick. One more thing regarding my beloved Lions: After Morelli tossed his first pick-6 in the waining moments of the game, did anyone else notice Malcolm Jennings spiking the ball before he got into the endzone? The ball bouncing into the endzone and out of bounds, meaning we should have had at least another chance to score and go for the tie. How did the replay officials miss this? I was drunk and I saw it plain as day. Whatever. I'm over it. Whats stopping us from winning out, Michigan beating OSU on Nov 18 and us sharing a title again?
- I'd rather not get into the Bills season. Why has the story of my life footballwise, since high school, been 'Well, they have a great defense." I want some fireworks in my life, god dammit.
-11:23pm: Seriously, Suzy. Shut it. I understand the game is boring, Vick has successfully ruined my fantasy football hopes this week, there's no real reason the game is still on my TV and I haven't started watching Grandma's Boy again or tivo'd episodes of The Hills, but why do I care that Sean Payton has heard about people without homes talking about how they own 6 season tickets to the Ain'ts. There's a big difference between being a fan and being a retard. Going to Saints games when you're living at the YMCA or in an alley off Bourbon Street is retarded. This makes me think about how I remember saying at Sharkies once "Theres not a doubt in my mind that the Saints are going to do great this year, it's the NFL conspiracy and its back!" This was probably after roughly 10 High Lifes, but allow me to explain: In 2001, after the attacks on September 11th, once football started back up, the Patriots began to roll. Roll right into the playoffs. LOSE to the Raiders, but of course we remember the tuck rule incident in the snow, blah blah. There we have it: The Superbowl dedicated to America and it's heroes being won, in a bullshit way by the Patriots. It was fixed. The Rams were ringers. Now that the Superdome is reopened, what better way than to have a bunch of scrubs win in the most recent city ravaged by unfortunate events?
I mean, I'm just saying. I'll be back in State College on October 13-16.
