Take me out to the ball game!

New England Patriots at New York Giants

Here we are, minutes away from the kickoff for what may be the most watched season game for this NFL season. I’m wearing my Giants jersey and I’m antsy.
I don’t honestly have high hopes for my boys in blue, but I am hoping to see Strahan put a few hits on Brady before the [...]

Thou shalt have no other coaches before me.

Here I am trying to squeeze in at least one post for the weekend before I hit the hay.
So Valerie’s sister, Elizabeth (or Margaret depending on who’s asking), has driven us around Tallahassee all weekend long, and over the course of these few short days we’ve seen this ridiculous sight:

Now I can’t find a decent [...]

Jersey, sure.

Some time next week I expect to take delivery of this fine article:

Now, in addition to the shirt Valerie gave me on our anniversary, I can show my pride for the New York Giants (who miserably lost to the Vikings on Sunday) and pretend I played for them all at the same time. w00t!!!

America’s Passed Time

Last night the Boston Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies in the World Series. The only reason I knew it was game four was because I saw it in the Comcast program guide on my TV when I was checking why there might be no 8:15 NFL game.
I’ve never really been in to the Major [...]

The Game, The Aftermath, and Internet Famous…Sort of.

These past two days I’ve driven over a thousand miles, watched my favorite NFL team win an away game, and discovered a tiny glimmer of what appears to be a really cool Southern city.
Dave, Chris, Nate, and I left Richmond yesterday at 5:00 am and headed south primarily along I-85. Along the way we [...]

The Long Road Home

It’s 10:54 PM as I start this entry - Sunday night, before Val and I head back up the highway to Virginia.
It’s been a fine weekend, but I’m not looking forward to a day spent in the car and a return to the office on Tuesday. Here’s how the weekend went, however:
In general (Ploafmaster [...]

On the road again…and not in the office.

My posting will be a little slim for the next several days. Val and I are making our second trip to Florida this year (and we have two more after that! Really!) to visit her sister at FSU in Tallahassee.
Tomorrow we shove off at the butt crack of dawn - 5 AM - [...]

Cheaters Sometimes Prosper

So it seems that the NFL has found Belichick guilty of cheating by using a camera to record defensive signals by the opposing team. This disgusts me…either their record is now as questionable as Barry Bonds’ home run “record” or they’re simply despicable since winning three recent Super Bowls seems not to be enough.
I [...]

Their secret is…other teams’ secrets.

Thanks to Gary Vay-ner-chuk for this one…
It would seem that the New England Patriots like to spy on other teams. Sounds pretty shady if you ask me, and I sure hope it’s not true, but if this is for real then the Pat’s reputation as a squad that’s excellent because of pure execution and [...]

Holiday

Today is like a holiday to me. Today is the season opener for the NFL Football season.
I’ll be glued to the tube for the pre-game analysis, the game, half-time report, and maybe even some post-game action if I’m not too tired. Yeah, I’ve got both Fantasy Football teams set up - one for [...]
