NFL REVIEW

Hey everybody... thanks for checking back in. Today I am gonna blow off a little steam about a few topics related to my favorite sport in this world... the NFL.
I suppose I will get the angst of my fanhood out of the way first in relation to my beloved Cowboys. They lost a tough one in Foxboro to the Patriots on Sunday. The Defense played out of their minds the whole game but got leaned on one too many times as Tom Brady did his best Joe Montana impersonation and led the Pats to a great win against my Boys. Romo played well and everyone wants to give the coach shit for being so tight assed down the stretch. But in all honesty if he decides to go for throat and toss the ball around like he did against Detroit and Romo gets picked off... then they would say he was a dumbass for putting Romo in that spot. I like the way the Boys played. They showed a ton of heart and I can assure you all that there isnt a team in the NFC that wants this team to hit their stride in late december. The offensive line is young and could be a much more solid unit by Xmas. If the run game comes around and they find the right rhythm they could be a dangerous team. It doesnt seem like they have learned to work as a solid group up front. They are all talented  but they just havent gelled yet. Romo is another story all together. I like they guy. People who scream for him to lose his job have a short memory of the nightmare it was at QB before he took over for Bledsoe. The endless parade of disfuctional no-talents riddled the Cowboys roster started when Arrington hit Aikman on the sideline. Cunningham, Wright, Carter, Stoener, Leaf, Testaverde, Hutchinson, Henson, etc.. the list goes on and on. Romo has brought excitement and yes... even some stability. I like the leadership he has exhibited this year. The one thing I know about being a cowboy fan is that its never as bad as the media makes it seem and its never as good. The Cowboys are a polarizing organization and people either lovem or hatem.... I dont expect them to win the Super Bowl this year but I am proud to see that under Jason Garrett this team is competitive every game and they play with passion and intensity. They dont get blown out of any games and they have enough talent to play with anyone in the NFL.
     Staying inside the NFC East is a good idea for the next topic. The eagles went to Washington and finally didnt shit their pants in the 4th qtr. Thanks to Rex Grossman spotting them 4 INTs, the Iggles walked out with a division road win. Anytime you can snatch one on the road in your own division you have dealt the other team a huge shit sandwhich. The Giants had an impressive victory over the very game Buffalo Bills. It looks like the feel good Bills could be coming back to reality. They were a sexy story at the beginning of the season but with the poor defense they play it will eventually come back to be their un-doing. Their Offense isnt that dynamic to sustain this success. This league gets film on you and it isnt long before opposing DCs find a away to take away what you do best. Kudos to the Giants for bouncing back after shitting the bed against Seattle the week before... I swear they tanked just to bang my suicide pool... assholes.
   One pleasant surprise for me has been the Cincinnati Bengals. I thought this team would maybe win 3-5 games this year... Rookie QB and WR.. a RB who likes prison and a no name O line.. I figured they would struggle. Looks like Marvin Lewis and Mike Brown figured out that less is more sometimes in the NFL. Saying goodbye to Ocho-Cinco, Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, and Terrell Owens has agreed with this team. The Locker Room is less of a circus and this team is back to being focused on winning football games more so than reality shows and police blotters... Getting 2 possible 1st rd picks for Carson Palmer was a great deal for them as well. I hope both parties get what they are looking for in that trade. Good for them.
  Lastly I wanna touch upon the Lions and 49ers game... or rather post game. After one of the better contests of the weekend where the 49ers never quit and fought hard to comeout victorious against the previously undefeated Lions, Inexplicably Jim Harbaugh the coach of the 49ers decides he needs to act like a rotten 9 year old. I understand the excitement of your team clawing out a tough win ont he road but dude, seriously. Act like a pro and a grown up. He jumps up and down for a few seconds and is ripping his shirt out of his pant, then sprints across the field jumping around like a moron. He reaches Jim Schwartz, the coach of the Lions, and decides to whip snap handshake the guy and blast him in the back in the process with his off hand. All the while shouting an explicitive and whoopin like he is Rick Flair at the Monday after the Masters Tourney in MB. Just the way Tom Landry and George Halas would have drawn it up. Schwartz takes exception to it and you can see him mouth the words "WTF?"... Schwartz chases him down and gives him a nudge and must have relayed his displeasure with Harbaughs actions... Harbaugh can be seen as saying "get out of my face!" multiple times... Hey Jimbo why dont you get your head out of your ass and realize you acted like an asshole. Maybe apologize for being a jerk and you could have avoided almost having a brawl in the postgame. Since when is it acceptable for a coach to act like this? Schwartz would have been well within his means to jack him up. It would have been better to see one of the Lions players take Harbaugh out and blast him with a form tackle... If Harbaugh want to act like he is still playing then perhaps they should accomodate him and lay his ass out.  Grow up.. Man up... your 49.. not 9

Greetings Readers

As inspired by my esteemed brother in-law I have decided to try my hand at this blogging thing. If your at all amused by his blog (http://www.mywiferuns.com/)... then theres a good chance you may enjoy whatever childish and idiotic musings I may conjure up. Afterall.... we are family.

Not all of my postings will be completely moronic.. even I am forced to spew something of tangibility from time to time. We all know that not all of life is to be laughed at... just most of it.

A little background would suffice at this time I suppose...
I was raised in upstate NY where I unfortunately still reside. I have lived within 20miles of my birthplace for my entire life and quite honestly its waring on my ass in a bad way. I graduated HS somehow despite my best efforts to do as little as humanly possible to excel at anything other than Class Clownery and athletics. To me there are two types of people in this world... People who think I am funny and People with no sense of humor. If you didnt at least chuckle at that last line you already know which category you fall into! I have been working in the Electrical Generating and Transmission Industry since 1995.. the same year I finished high school. I live by the expression that "I dont live to work... I work to live"... I doubt I will ever be one of those people that cant get enough of going to work... Unless of course I win some sort of lottery and I can coach football and raise my kids as my "job"... Until then I will just start my countdown everyday I go to work as to when I can go home and do whats most important to me... be daddy

The accomplishment I am most proud of n this life is being a father. I have two beautiful children of whom I would easily lay my life down for. I became a father over 4 years ago already and its been the highlight of my life. I cant imagine my life without these little boogers... they truly keep me going. The greatest thing about being a parent is that no matter how shitty your day is going.. no matter what asshole is bugging you at work... No matter what bill is over due or however life is kicking you in the friggin nuts..... when I walk in that door and my little girl wraps her arms around my neck and my son rubs my face and says he loves me... all that shit goes away. There are a few people on this earth that should buy my kids all the toys they want because if not for them to ease my pain... there certainly would have been numerous ambulance rides for some folks!
I am a huge fan of sports... Baseball, football, golf, MMA...etc... I love most sports. I cant stand watching womans basketball, any kind of soccer. I can watch a little womens college volleyball but I honestly have no idea whats happening nor do i care... its like watching telemundo... just stare and smile, stare and smile : )
There will be a great many times during my blogging that I go off on tangents about my bleoved Cowboys. Thankfully for you the reader... you can simply ignore it and skip it!
I dont have any poiltical views so dont expect me to use this as some sort of delussional soapbox platform. For those of you enjoy all that bullshit.,.. here is my take... It doesnt matter who is in the white house or congress. They are all crooks who's sole purpose is to misappropriate our tax dollars and pound the fur off the american people. These idiots on TV who pontificate about the politicians are just as worthless. Over educated hate mongers who incite anger in people who share their same politcal motivations.. there are plenty of these jerkoffs on both sides of the equation. my take would be to ignore them as best as you can. Worry about shit that is within your control and you will live a lot longer.

I suppose thats enough for my intro! See ya on the Flip...L8R
