A day in the life of a couch potato
(This blog will be continually updated on Sunday 12-11-11, as long as I have something interesting to say.)
A super prediction
In looking at the Pittsburgh Steelers / Arizona Cardinals match-up, you have one team that traditionally plays a solid defensive game against one that can put lots of points on the board in a hurry. In baseball, good pitching can cancel good hitting. In football, though, it isn't quite as simple. All you need is on defensive back, for example, to look over the wrong shoulder and the result is seven points. Or the defensive call could be an all-out blitz, which is picked up and a slant pass ends up going for a long score. Conversely, you could have the good offensive team with a few scores, but some defensive adjustments and the resulting turnovers put the team with the good offense in the hole, and when the entire stadium knows a pass is coming, the defense locksdown.

Minute by minute - The Amazing Race
I really hate reality shows. Most are pretty very lame, with constant back biting, lying, and non-existant-but-dammit-we're-gonna-tell-you-anyhow storylines. Considering a show like Stupidvivor, they take over 100 hours of footage of multiple contestants, and edit down to a 46-minute story. That is NOT reality. That is a serial protrayed by underpaid, non-union actors.
This blog is on hiatus
The singular, A-number-1, positively, absolutely most important time in a young man's life is upon us. For that reason, I can't blog for awhile.
Day 4 - State Fair Blog done (Sponsor's Name Here) style
A record setting day in the mobile child delivery system industry. 22 cars parked beat the record (of 21 cars set yesterday). However to be fair, My-Sugar-Na and I made more money yesterday, as the "Demand is more than supply" theory set the pricing. And to prove the free market works, today "Supply was more than demand", so pricing needed to be adjusted accordingly. However as of tonight, we are 60% of what we made last year, with a full week to go. My theory that more folks are taking local vacations seems to be bearing out.
Insomniac Theater
Aimless, middle-of-the-night surfing has led me to some classic broadcast NFL openings.
World Series review
Yes, I know the Super Bowl (Side note - The MVP selection was a crock. David Tyree caught one of the two TDs, and made the catch that saved the game for the Giants, and instead a marketing machine was named MVP) was just played yesterday, but on Saturday, I went to Long's Wong and attended a viewing of Game 4 of the 1957 World Series (the "Nippy Jones" game).
The NFL's lawyers have read my blog!
In my third-ever post back in March 2007 (a brilliant post, by the way) I detailed how the NFL is vigorously defending its marks, and mentioned that the NFL had previously sent letters to Las Vegas casinos stating that the Super Bowl cannot be shown in “public on screens that, according to federal law, are larger than those 'commonly used in private homes'."
Who IS Michael James?
Maybe a check into some of the lists (lower right of this page, but conveniently linked in this post) would give us an idea...
I feel obligated to post about the NFL Network not being on cable
Do you want to see me with my 42" waist in a Speedo?
You must be kidding. There is no way I would try to squeeze myself into a Speedo, much less get a photo taken of such an event, much less post it.
How to make professional football safer
It's very simple. Take the modern helmet from the players and give them a leather helmet to protect from hair pulling and cuts.
