Is it Sunday yet?

I went golfing today at Wild Marsh in Buffalo. It's a really nice course, and they have a fall special that's going on right now. The trees all around the course were amazing, like they were on fire. It's probably the best golf viewing that I have ever experienced. Not a whole lot goes on on Saturdays, so I'm just hanging around the house waiting to see what's happenin' tonight. I was reading through my comments and saw that Steve wasn't waiting for football tomorrow, but rather the cheerleaders. So, as a sneak preview for tomorrow the guys at Kissing Suzy Kolber have donated this to the world, and I am passing it along to you, Steve.

I'm a white male, age 18 to 49. Everyone listens to me, no matter how dumb my suggestions are.

For those of you who haven't seen it, go here:

Get Down With Ya Bad Self

Sorry I couldn't load it directly into the blog, I'm working on that. However, this is quite possibly the best video in the history of mankind. I believe this is before Menudo. Why didn't they have a midget Menudo? The potential was there.

On to football!

I'm just going to call games straight up, no spreads. Although I understand spreads, I don't follow every team nearly that close, and it can get confusing for anyone reading who doesn't understand it. Besides, I've had a 75-80% success rate over the past 4 years, so I think I do it pretty well.

Home Teams in Caps, pick is in bold:

San Francisco @ KANSAS CITY
KC is still reeling after losing Trent Green to a concussion. Although they're one of the toughest beats on the road, I don't see the offense clicking enough to keep up with the 7 squareds.

Miami @ HOUSTON
If I know anything, its that Daunte Culpepper sucks, especially in a west coast offense, which is what Mike Mularkey thinks works. Well, without a QB that can dump short passes and avoid the INT, you end up 1-2 Miami. I pick the Texans for their first win of the year, plus my boss is from Houston.

Dallas @ TENNESSEE
Tennessee may be the worst team in the league, only because Oakland should be in NFL Europe right now. As long as Kerry Collins is still "leading" this team - maybe he's been drunk the last 3 weeks - and Vince Young only plays one series per half, the Titans are going nowhere. Look for Dallas to put the T.O. O.D. behind them and blow out the Titans, even with Drew Bledsoe.

Indianapolis @ NEW YORK JETS
While the Jets have looks decent the past 3 weeks, they gave up almost 500 yards of offense in losing to Buffalo. BUFFALO! If things were relative, Peyton would have a shot at 1000 yards passing. But we all know that couldn't happen...Look for Indy to roll in NY.

Minnesota @ BUFFALO
This should be an interesting game. The Vikes need to prove they have an offense, and Buffalo needs to retain some pride. I think the Vikings will come out with the victory, by as much as a TD, but we need more O Brads.

San Diego @ BALTIMORE
Talk about a great game. Baltimore has a great defense, but they still have McNair leading the offense. He's due to collapse any day now because of his arthritic hip. LT looks too good, and the Chargers are off a bye week.

New Orleans @ CAROLINA
Yes, the Saints are 3-0, but they beat Cleveland and Green Bay, and had emotion going for them last Monday against Atlanta. That is exactly why they won't win this week. They will be drained, and the actual grass at Panther Stadium will expose the slowness of their defense, as the FieldTurf at the SuperDome brings the other team to their level, thus overrating them last week.

Arizona @ ATLANTA
If I were the Falcons, I'd be pissed. And I'm sure they are, and they are going to take it out on Kurt Warner. Their D is better than they showed last week, and Arizona isn't really that great, they've just played poor teams. We might see Matt Leinart this week, but that won't help the Cards much either.

Detroit @ ST. LOUIS
Snoozer of the week. Detroilet can't score hardly at all, and all St. Louis can do is kick field goals. However, the Lions are HORRIBLE on the road, not to mention at home too, but they will be overmatched this weekend in game that the score will look closer than the game was.

Cleveland @ OAKLAND
Coma of the week. Cleveland will win. Art Shell will say nothing and scribble on his clipboard.

Jacksonville @ WASHINGTON
Jacksonville may be the best team in football, their defense will make you bleed, but Leftwich can kill the team. Washington hasn't looked like the playoff bound team people thought they'd be, probably because their quarterback is 62 and has the mobility of a beached manatee.

New England @ CINCINNATI
Tom Brady needs to get over the fact that Deion Branch left, and the front office isn't pushing for anyone. Until he gets his head out of his ass, he's going to get beat by good teams, and the Bengals are a good team, off the field issues are another story. The stadium will be loud, and the reeling Pats defense will have a hard time containing Rudi, TJ Whosyourmama, Chad and Travis (window puker) Henry.

Seattle @ CHICAGO
As much as I hate to do this, Chicago will win, simply because Shawn Alexander will be sitting. This destroys the playmaking ability of Matt Hasselbeck, as there is no other threat other than his wideouts, which will be covered thoroughly. Chicago wins a close one at home.

Green Bay @ PHILADELPHIA
Green Bay sucks, they always have no matter what their record states, and Philly is pretty good this year, if you haven't noticed. (27 point comebacks aside). Look for Brett FavRE to throw at LEAST 1 pick, and the Eagles will roll upwards of 40 points on the Pack.

There you have it.
Last week: 8-6
Season: 31-15

Alcohol. The cause and solution to all of life's problems.

So, as some of you know, I bowl on Thursday nights in a league, at a crappy bowling alley. I have fun, and so does my team. That's that. Tonight, we only won 2 of 7 possible points, as we only won 1 of 3 games, and lost the total pin count. We did this to a horrible team. The problem lies in the fact that 4 of the 5 of us have averages over 175. When you bowl guys with 150 averages, and you have to give them handicap, that becomes a problem, especially when they have a carreer night. I bowled well, a 185, 196 and a 212, which is nice because I've sucked the past two weeks; but it still sucks to lose to a bad team. I'll be talking about bowling most Thursday PM/Friday AM.

In other sports related news, I'm getting really geeked up about the Twins and the post season. I've been excited the whole season, and their effort is really paying off now, and it will be fun to see us again in October. I just finished watching the game tonight, and although we only scored 2 runs against K.C., we still won, and Bradke pitched! And pitched well. After watching Chairman Mauer hit that home run to tie the game in the ninth, I knew we had it made, especially after Twitchy McXanax (Joe Nathan) came in to shut down the offensive juggernaut otherwise known as the Royals. And lo and behold, Jason Bartlett comes through again. Great stuff.

I don't want to get too wordy this late, and I don't want to waste space for tomorrow, so, make sure to come back as I will be releasing my weekly football picks for Sunday. Besides, I have DVR'ed CSI to watch.

What, the Rusty Trombone wasn't good enough?

Oh Screech, where have you gone? What would Lisa think about this?

From the New York Daily News:

He may have played nerdy eighth-grader Samuel (Screech)
Powers in the sitcom "Saved by the Bell." But former TV geek Dustin Diamond can now take his place with Colin Farrell, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock as the star of his very own sex tape.

Dirty Sanchez.

Ah, yeah...

Sorry to anyone who tried to view the blog and post a comment. I needed to tweek a setting so that anyone can post, but it's good now. Onto a topic I'm sure everyone's heard about today: Terrell Owens. I don't want to talk about it, because I can't stand him. I don't feel the need to give him publicity if he needs help or if it was a stunt. If he needs help, he'll get it and all the better to him, but if it was a stunt, that is an ultimate new low that NO ONE should get reprieve from.

Holy Crap I Have A Blog

Well, this is the first, could be the only. Who knows. I will mainly talk sports, alcohol and news. Not necessarily in that order, but I WON'T be political, this is not going to be me shoving ideals down peoples throats, just social commentary - hence the name. A little about me? Okay. I'm 23, and have a pretty good life. I live with my girlfriend, Holly, who has put up with me for almost 5 years now, since we met in 2001 in college. We have 2 cats. (That should be the last time you read anything dealing with cats that I write in this blog). I have a B.S. in Sport Studies from the U of MN, and I currently work for Golf Intelligence, Inc., which developed the National Golf Network - ngn.com - which is a social networking site for golfers, along with a Golf Life Management System, and an authorized USGA Handicap Index provider. There, I got the boring stuff out of the way. Onward and upward.
