Obama X

I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. Obama is going to #*!^ around and win the election. For all we know, it could be the biggest landslide in presidential history.

Now, I've never understood why people would talk to peers about personal issues, but don't feel comfortable discussing their voting preferences. (So I was #$%ing my wife in her @$$ last night.........you have to love Chappelle).

I digress.....so anyway, I'm voting for Obama. Yeah, I said it. I'm voting for Obama.

Will he really make a difference? I don't know. Are all of the other contenders, pretenders? I think so. Either way, nobody can stop his momentum or find any meaningful dirt.

Republican front runner, John McCain, is having problems. First, he allegedly has/had infidelity issues. Then, he basically
acknowledged losing the race. "Sen. John McCain said bluntly today that he will lose the presidential election in November if the Iraq war goes badly, then quickly tried to walk his own comment back." Good thing the Iraq war is going smoothly.

The whole Republican party is in disarray.

Hillary is running around like a chicken with her head cut off.



Ralph Nader is throwing his hat in the race. (Why waste your money. AGAIN!) Must be a Hillary conspiracy. ;)

Even the "honorable" Louis Farrakhan hearts Obama.......WHAT IS GOING ON?

I think it's called.................CHANGE.

If I ever decide to change my mind, I'm going to vote for Dave.

Kimbo slicing up the Tank

I've been following Kimbo for a minute and his progression has been amazing. Here's a clip of his fight yesterday against MMA vet, Tank Abbott.

Thanks, Bas.......you've created a monster. Unleash the beast!

19-0, the Perfect Season

Buy your Perfect Season Waterford Crystal XLII Super Bowl Champion Football for only $185.

On a serious note this erroneous momento is probably worth MORE after the Patriots loss. I'm going to pick one up.

I guess the trademark on 19-0 the Perfect Season isn't going to cause too much trouble after all. It's the 18-1 trademark that will be problematic.

That's why they play the game! You gotta love it.

Super Boring (My first Super Bowl experience)

I'll first start by saying, this was my very first Super Bowl experience. I've gone to a number of Super Bowls, but never actually inside the game. Well this year, I could finally afford tickets (I'll post later about the ticket market crash).

The first thing that struck me as different was the "die hard fans".....or should I say.........lack thereof. The biggest game in the history of the NFL and there was dead silence. Silence all around. No tailgates, no horns blowing, no painted faces, no car flags, no yelling, no beer, no screaming.......it was all too "civilized" for the preceding hype. Then inside the game, it was more of the same. There was little cheering, no team chants, no human body "waves", no passion, just pure silence and fake clapping. I could not believe it. I was in the very same stadium one year earlier for the Boise State Fiesta Bowl, and it was a completely different experience. I should have known what to expect when everyone was sitting in their seats during the first quarter. (You don't sit for big games. That's football fan 101.)

The first 3.75 quarters of play was probably the most boring football I've ever witnessed live. After reading all the news about the record breaking numbers (97.5M viewers), I would have liked to be in bar in NYC... with beer spilling all over and high-five cacophony and boisterous yelling.......you know.....a real football crowd. It was certainly a football that I was not accustomed to watching. I felt ambivalent the majority of the big game.

I will say, however, that the best part of going to the game live was watching the faces of the incredulous fans. That goes for Pats fans and Giants fans alike. There were a number of NY Giants fans LEAVING the stadium after the Randy Moss score. #@!*ing idiots. You come all the way to AZ and pay thousands of dollars only to skip the last 4 minutes so you can save time avoiding traffic. To those fair-weather fans, I'm glad you missed history. Hope it was worth it.

While I was bored out of my mind (literally falling asleep in my seat) during the first 55 minutes of play, the last 5 minutes was absolutely ridiculous. I wish I could have taken a photo of all of the Giants fans with 4 minutes left. They were in disbelief.....some sad, some shocked, and some down right mad. The Pats fans on the other hand were laughing and smiling.....they could sense history in the making. And then:



You should have seen the Giants fans lift their heads from between their legs and start to cheer.....with 2 minutes left in the game. At the same time, the Pats fans were devastated. You just had to be there and witness the extreme spectrum of expressions.

In a matter of seconds, everything changed. The score, my opinion of Eli, my opinion of Brady, my expectations for next season, my feelings about the "boring" Super Bowl..........everything changed.

Here's to change!
