Lovely moment on the Today show this morning, where the Kentucky race for the US Senate was highlighted. Apparently, a Democrat named Conway is attacking Tea Party douchebag Rand Paul's Christianity. This must play well in Kentucky.....but doesn't it have NO RELEVANCE AT ALL?! As I understand the story, Mr. Paul was involved with a "group" in his college days that mocked Christianity. Ooooook. And this proves...what?
So, Mr. Paul, instead of a rational response in days where it's OK to attack a sitting President's faith regularly (which, likewise, matters NOT AT ALL), pitches a hissy fit and refuses to shake hands, etc. etc.
Ridiculous. I'll say it again, HOW DOES ANY OF THIS BULLSHIT MATTER?
By now, with 2 weeks left (there was an erroneous report on this blog that Election Day was November 9th.....and I still intend on voting November 9th anyway) till this awful election I'm betting most of you know who you'd like to vote for. It's beginning to feel like waiting for an execution or mercy-killing.....Just get it over with.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm 28-31 for the season, and was 7-7 this week. That leaves me a whoppingly unimpressive 35-38 for the year. But it's been a season where some crazy stuff has happened, so I'll consider myself modestly successful.
Indy beats Redskins: Got this one right. But barely. Redskins had 2 chances late in the game to mount an offensive drive that would've tied or won this game. They obviously failed, and likewise failed to capitalize on several bad throws by Peyton Manning. But I'll take a close loss to one of the best QB's in the game when the Redskins have usually been exposed as a bush-league team in the past against great QBs like Manning.
Patriots beat Ravens: I took Pats at home. Loved watching this win, especially with the Ravens talking so much trash. Look, in 7 games the Patriots have beaten the Ravens 6 times, and lost once last January. That playoff loss (January 10th, 2010) was an ugly one, the Patriots didn't show up at all. Last Sunday? The Pats offense did just enough against an excellent Baltimore D and the Pats D did just enough against a decent-but-not-excellent-yet Baltimore Offense. Ravens fans? You have a good team, not a great one yet.
Minnesota beats Dallas: again, I got this right. Dallas keeps losing close games to good teams. I'm thinking that they'll start crushing teams sometime soon, but it might be November till that happens. Vikings might be headed in the right direction, unless their QB keeps misbehaving. Nice move, Brett, with the cancer surviving wife and all.
Saints beat Bucs: of course they did.
Seattle beats Chicago: whoops. Guess the Bears aint that good. See? Seattle's all over the place.
Miami beats Green Bay: Weird result, this was at Lambeau. So it goes.
St. Louis beats Chargers: of course, Norv's coaching, and he can't prepare an entire football team to play 60 minutes. Great offensive guy.....but.....
NY Giants beat Detroit: Team of Destiny is setting everyone up for a second-half explosion
Philadelphia beats Falcons: Whoops! I think I referred to Atlanta as "the best team in the NFC." I suppose, if that was the case, that I have been exposed as a nincompoop.
Pittsburgh beats Cleveland: the Rapist Returns. And he tags and bags an obviously intoxicated Browns team.
Houston beats KC: barely. Dammit. I saw the scores pop up while I was watching the Patriots game, and it looked like the Chiefs were gonna win, but then they didn't.
NY Jets beat Denver: duh. Jets are good.
SF beats Oakland: battle of the Bay, and the 49ers win a game, finally. Dammit, redux.
Tennessee beats Jax: Chris Johnson runs amok. I saw Kerry Collins in the game, but I might've been drunk. He might've been hung over. Still, I called this right.
7-7 for the week, 35-38 for the season. You're still making money if you're placing bets with me.
