Cleveland Sucks and Le-Bron James - Top 10 reason why

Cleveland... you suck.

Why would Lebron want to stay in that death-hole, black-hole, armpit, mistake on the lake place?  I mean all of your teams are garbage.

This list is just off the top of my head.....

1 - The Drive by John Elway
2 - Ernest Byner - oh noes the fumbles
3 - The year of no NFL - Art Modell was probably the smarted man alive when he made that decision to leave.
4 - Indians....rofl (they even had to make a Movie "Major League" (and several bad sequels) to give Cleveland baseball some justice.
5- Lake on Fire??  Did that really happen - wow.
6 - Drew big glasses - hes not funny - and Cleveland doesn't Rock..
7 - Dawg pound.  That is where animals go to be put to sleep.  Nice idea there.
8 - Quarterbacks - LOLs.  Your best QB was Bernie K.  I should do some research, but its not worth it - nothing to prove here.
9 - Lake effect snow...  Have fun with that.
10 - Lebron James should still be idolized.  The single best icon your piss poor city has every had.  You should have a Rocky like statue of him at every venue.  You where lucky to have him for the time you did.

Thanksgiving WTF

Every year my wife and I spend all day with our families.  Around 12noon we eat dinner at my family's about 45 mins south of us.  Around 3pm all drunk on turkey and gravy we travel back north and eat yet again at my wife's family's dinner.  We do this every year and it's probably the most draining day of the year for us.  WTF.

Happy New Year and the best Football day besides Super Bowl Sunday

New Years Day!  The day to just sit around watch football and eat all day - nursing your hang-over from the night before.  

Here is my WTF for this day. 

So most of us go to a New Years Eve party and we eat and drink way too much.  If you are a smoker - you probably smoke way to many cigs.  We just destroy our bodies then the next day just lay around doing nothing.  This doesn't apply to everyone since there are people working on this day.  I was out driving around this morning - not many cars on the road.  Pretty much all restaurants were open and gas stations as well.  Lowes was open.  All these people either had to restrain themselves last night for the sake of not having to be at work with a mad hangover.

So to all of you folks that have to work on probably the most international day of days for holiday's - hats off and it sucks to be you.....

NFL Punters - Best Job Ever??

After lots of thought - Why being a NFL punter is the best job ever.

These guys first get to be on a NFL team - and only have to really play in about 5-10 plays per game.  Now some of these easy job guys do get to enjoy the task of being the field goal kickers holder.  So some of the NFL punters will have to be in around 8-15 plays per game.

The average time for one play is around 6 seconds snap to whistle.  Simple math here. 6sec x 15 plays = 1 minute and 30 seconds.  Lets just give them 2 minutes for all the warm up time they do on the sidelines practicing their kicking form like big dorks.

So the average yearly salary for the NFL Punter is $1,400,000 in 2008.  Yes that is $1.4 million per year.  Take this by time actually worked during a game is just crazy!  I know that all these punters are on the team - go with the team, practice with the team, have separate workouts to prepare their bodies for this brutal NFL gig.

So how much pressure does the punter have on the field?  Well catching the snap, taking a step, drop the ball, swing up other foot and kick the ball.   Stand there for about 5-7 seconds to admire that sweet spiral you put on that kick.  Then just slowly jog forward about 10 yards and left or right depending on which way the return is coming.  Every so often there will be at this time the "Oh CRAP" factor when the returner is breaking thru your punt team coverage.  The omg I'm going to have to try to tackle this guy that runs a 4.4 forty and I'm just a guy that can kick the ball far and drop it like a dime inside the 10.  Usually the punter makes the effort that like a old man falling on some ice.

So that is their job - Show up for practice and kick some balls.  WTF

--- about five mins after posting this I learned that evidently NFL punters are allowed to celebrate and point to the heavens when they drop a punt on the one yard line.  I think I even saw a jump and a fist pump!   

NFL Games and Commericals

I have a problem with the commercial time selection.  I'm watching my beloved Bengals suck up the first half and during this a completed Touchdown to Ocho Cinco, but is called under-review.  Here is the best part - after the call of under-review they go straight to commercial!  No replay nothing - wtf!  Show me the freaking replay -seriously...WTF

Using a Fake Fatman to scare my 5 year old in to being good...

After visiting and paying $12 bucks for 4 wallet sized photos of Santa and my two children - on the way to the car my 5 year old girl was throwing a fit because we didn't buy her a cookie inside.  I told her to get in the car or I'll go back inside and get Santa.....  She looked me with wide eyes and I turned and started walking back to the building.  She screamed "No - I'll get in I"m sorry!".

I know you other parents have used this - It's not like I'm using Easter bunny or the boogie man threats.  Thought I'd share.

Sinus pressure is the worst

I've been sick many times but I must say that being sick with the flu
then getting this sinus problem after is the worst.
Not being able to hear correctly and the feeling of having two bubbles
of air in the inner ear is just driving me crazy. Finnally After 3
days with this one ear has gotten better.
I've been taking sudafed and drinking lots of water. The problem is
the tube from my inner ear is blocked up with junk or just swelled up
and won't allow air to pass.
Hopefully it's will be better by Xmas.

First Post

Here I am. I like pie. I might need to start learning sign language.
My kids got me up at 6:45am this morning. Don't they know it's ok to
sleep in on Sumday Mornings?
