Mishmash

So some may say that since my Steelers were embarassed by the Pats and then whimpered out of the playoffs I have nothing to say, well, you would be right. But here I am anyway like ESPN: nothing to say but saying things anyway,.ie Skip Bayless.

Fandom - Ty and I are moving up a level in Little League baseball. The unfortunate circumstance of this is that one of the coaches already at this level is the Dodgers. This bums us out a bit as it was a great excuse to say we were Dodgers and an excuse for me to get more Dodger apparel. So now I am becoming what is all too common in today's world: logo/uniform fan!
As we talk about different teams to be instead of the Dodgers I have a hard time because I really don't like any other team except the Pirates and Ty says no way! So through research of logos and uniforms and colors etc. we narrowed our list down to the following teams (in no particular order - Rockies, Indians, Blue Jays, and A's. Basically we are leaning heavily to the Blue Jays as they have a great color scheme and pretty cool logo. <------- did I just say these words? So before you pull my Dodger membership card remember, only 1 team in the league can be the Dodgers. AND NO being the Padres would not be cool. If I can figure out how to put a poll up I will put it up to get your opinion on who our little league team should be.

Super Bowl
Each year the Super Bowl becomes less and less important and more and more a reality show. The "media" is all a flutter over a photo of a guy that doesn't want to be known as a good guy and will tell you or you will see all the bad stuff he does. Don't know who I am talking about? Oh, only the guy they are calling the best qb ever - Tom Brady. If the Giants weren't in the Superbowl I may actually care about who wins. But, who wants to root for the mentally slow Manning brother that is now arrived? Oh I am mixing things here. So back to the Super Bowl (side note, am I going to get a bill from the NFL for using Super Bowl and not the big game or something like it?) I don't care and it will be the easiest time to keep the sabbath day. I WILL NOT WATCH!
Giants---- So now Tom Coughlin is a great coach and everyone loves him. Hmmm...for the past few years players hate him the media thinks his methods are archaic and now he is wonderful? So now Eli Manning has arrived? Believe me now and hear me later, Eli will not arrive ever!! This season, er, last 4 games, is an abboration. He will be pouting and throwing incompletions and picks all over the place as soon as Feb. 3.

i love your rants dude! keep it up! i voted for the indians because the blue jays would be too close to trying to be the dodgers but still not able to do it. if you pick the indians then you should also grow out a nice bushy eric wedge beard. if you are the blue jays you would have to throw tantrums and get in fights with your players and that just wouldn't go over so well in little league. -- wait, why is that acceptable in the big leagues?? who knows but it makes about as much sense as coughlin being a great coach and the other manning having arrived.

I would go with the Indians or the Blue Jays. It would be morally improper to like the A's and being the Rockies will require that everyone on the team hunt. Then again, your players won't have to touch home when they tag up... that'd be nice.
As for the Super Bowl I hate the Patriots so much that I would cheers for anyone to beat them. It's like they all want to be Barry Bonds the way they bug me. How come Rodney Harrison or Brady haven't had their knees blown out?

I am a big fan of the Indians - but I am sure you can't guess why! If you are the Indians, I have some stuff I can wear to the games!
