my pick: pats by 10

i'm gonna say patriots win the supe-diddily-uper bowl, 34-24

strangeness and suckitude

first the suckitude - the new footrest was apparently not seaworthy. i've had this thing for 9 days and the screws that held the roller part into the particle board have stripped out the cheap particle board so that the holes are too big. for goodness sake, whatever happened to pride in craftsmanship?!?! i'll probably have to take it home and run some drywall anchors into the thing and then redo the screws... that, or take it back to Office Max and exchange it. yeesh.

the strangeness came in the form of a red jeep that was parked outside early this morning when i went to workout. i pulled into the parking spot and reached over to grab my man-bag and saw what appears to be 2 shirtless young boys and a deer head:

new footrest

WOOHOO!!! so apparently the footrest i'd ordered some time ago at work was just sitting in the storage room upstairs:-p today, my cohort raquel brought it down and i now can kindly rest my dawgs on this puppy:

colts lose!

good times. the return of the Manning Face! it was painful to go through the super bowl victory of the colts last year but ahhhh, the sweet sweet return of the manning face washes away that horrible taste... for those of you not knowing, do this when you lose:

de foosball

wow. today's playoff games were really good! not just because the hawks won to advance but then also the steelers/jaguars game was really close and worth watching too. the seahawks win actually inspired an email from a friend of mine who always declines to watch nfl games:

---
did you see that game today? it was awesome,.

i want to watch foosballs now.

hopefully the hawks can clean their game up offensively and go beat the pack!

roids, etc

I'm sick of steroids. Not doing them;) hearing about them. The MLB hearings went on forever but the NFL catches guys and gives them little slaps on the wrist. The WWE is making millions (not just off toothless hillbillies anymore) with their roided-out psychopaths, and the new American Gladiators features a dozen or so completely roided-out freaks and NBC has shamelessly promoted that new show. What drug testing did NBC put those horses through?

What gives? Why the double standard? Are we just jealous of the "professional athletes"? I know my wife enjoys complaining about the multimillion dollar contracts these guys sign without an education (I enjoy knowing Johnny Depp dropped out of high-school and is a drug addict yet his millions don't bother anyone:) But seriously, why do we have different rules for LeBron James than we do for Johnny Depp? Is it race? Social standing? Their vocabulary? JD has been to the joint, enjoys a joint, etc, yet he's a big hero. Not saying we should all fall at LeBron's feet. We just need to slow the roll a bit before we start blathering on about these injustices.
