WHALE OF A WEEKEND

Beer count: Stuck on 12.

Still no beer since Jan. 2. The scary thing is I don't miss it. Real scary. Although, if I have to watch another weekend of this bullshit product called the NFL, the vodka count will skyrocket.

Ok, the Colt-Steeler game was great, but why? Because NFL refs have their heads up their arses. Not only the Palumala INT being overturned, but the no-call on the offsides/illegal motion play on 4th-and-1 late in the game. ARE YOU KIDDDING ME?

And then, in the Bears-Cats game, they award the Bears Dude a TD when he cleary went out of bounds at the 3 and fumbled out of the end zone. I can't wait for the refs to screw up big time in a Super Bowl and finally people will realize what a flawed product the NFL and football in general is. I mean, I hate the Patriots, but that INT call against them Saturday night was completely bogus. It cost them 7 points.

As for football in general, most of the game depends on where 50-year-old men standing 20 yards away spot the ball where they think they saw the runner go with it.

However, as long as there is beer and gambling in this country, the NFL will continue to be huge.

One final thought: If the Steelers don't win Sunday, there will be absolutely no juice for the Super Bowl. Denver vs. Seattle? ZZZZZZZZZZ. Denver vs. Carolina? Snooze fest.

Lost in the all this NFL talk is the amazing play of the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes. This team just refuses to lose. Ask the Flyers. Anyway, I'm already planning my trip to Carolina for the Stanley Cup Parade. By the way, nice job by the Islanders letting Pete Laviolette go.

Anyway, that's all for now.
I'll adress Mark Messier night, Howard Stern and Joe Pa's "She was hot, he should've raped her" comment in a day or two.

If the thought of a Broncos-Panthers Super Bowl isn't enough to send you to the tastes, I don't know what is...

And Local Shill brings up a solid point - you need to amuse us more often.

By the way, I just opened the Messier picture. OUTSTANDING find.

Schill, Jersey gal:

Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement to start drinking more.

Remember, I work Sundays, so drinking and NFL is out.

As for more frequent posts, I'm on it.

And JG, I bought the bike Monday. Not sure if I'll be up for 45 miles in April or whenever that is, but I'll keep you posted.

As for you schill, you need to start blogging.

Local,

I propose the inaugural topic on your blog be the following:

"A watch is a more functional and practical engagement gift than the traditional ring."

I think you are onto something there. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
