Sports makes no sense…
Let me get this straight…
- Theoretically, I have bragging rights over OU fans, because my school could whip up on TCU. (And beyond that, SMU could physically whip TCU, and run the ball down their defenses’ throat, something OU and Adrian Peterson could not do.)
- However, Baylor fans have bragging rights over me.
- The Cowboys get credited with a victory despite the fact that the Chargers lost the game much more than the Cowboys won it. (Ok, Ok, they deserve credit for taking advantage of San Diego mistakes, I’m glad they won)
- Not only is Joe Theismann still getting paid for his drivel on television, next year he is getting a promotion?!?!
- Somehow, someway the New Orleans Saints kept their head on straight enough to defeat the (Super Bowl favorite) Carolina Panthers… in Carolina.
- Not only did the Miami Dolphins win, they scored more points than many analysts expected that they would score in the first month of the season.
- Returning to a topic I have visited before, I installed a new real-time log analysis tool, and again I am surprised at the number of people who read this stuff, especially those of you that I have NO IDEA who you are. (Turns out I have a couple of past articles that attract a LOT of search engine attention)
- I have probably watched two Peyton Manning football games ever. Both were against the Baltimore Ravens, and I thought he looked timid and confused both times. I guess someday I will have to watch him tear someone up to be impressed. (Update: in the 8 minutes since I typed that… he’s thrown 2 touchdown passes. I’m not terribly impressed yet, but I’m getting there.)
- Since I am pretty obviously typing this while sitting in front of the television, I have to admit, even if this makes me a bad person… the Children’s Miracle Network commercial where the hispanic girl talks about balloons not only being for kids just whips my ass to no end.
