Asleep at the Switch

Ok, first of all I would like to apologize for the gap in content.

No, I didn't say lack of content. I said GAP. Yeah, yeah, I know this blog has always lacked real content. Whatever. Look what I was trying to say was that I have been remiss in my blogging efforts of late and I plan to make it up to you by-

Wait a second what do you mean LACK of content? This thing has been chalk full from the go. Or maybe you have forgotten all of the interesting tidbits that I have wrapped into a snarky little bow over the last five months. You stupid-

Ok, ok, let's put this whole "lack of content" thing behind us. You said some things, I said some things...let's start fresh, ok? Why don't I just empty out the oooooll notebook so we can start anew..

I don't want to bore you with a recap of the last ten days. I mean, what kind of a narcissist would I be if I laid out examples of my personal greatness? Have I predicted many of the events of the last couple of weeks, sure  when it came to predicting the events of the last several days on this very blog? It's silly and childish and I for one won't stoop to such-

Does anyone really care that I knew Tony Romo would come up small in a big game? Or that I said Norv Turner would find a way to coached the most talented team in the field just poorly enough to lose. Clearly not...but if you do it's here.

And I am sure that you people have better things to do than to reread some old entry about how the Jets are going to be a force eventually because Revis, Greene and Sanchez are studs, but nobody wins with a rookie QB. Am I right?

And sure some folks might take pleasure in pointing out that they predicted Brett Favre's last play of the season would be an interception. Or, and I quote,

Minnesota- Brett Favre, despite what you hear from Ron Jaworski, Brett Favre hasn't been a reliable QB since the turn-of-the-century. The last play of the year for Minnesota's offense WILL be a pick, write it down.   - Trip, Tripschinmusic.blogspot.com, SEPT, 2009

BORRRRRRRRRRRing! Who does that? And who would expect any less from the Great Dane from the Bayou. And who cares if Brett Favre threw two picks in the Championship Game anyway? This next part is far more fun and interesting. Now is the two-thirds of the year that we get to speculate on whether he will or won't play again. Riveting stuff. To be or not to be. [editor's note- I really wanted to do a whole thing on Mr. Wranglers (check out Kenny Mayne's piece) because as I have mentioned before NOBODY in the history of the game GETS a pass more than this guy. Both of his interceptions were awful, rookie mistakes and had Brees made them all of the pundits would have lambasted him for allowing the game to overwhelm him. It's why I have never been happier to see an interception...other than every interception the Steelers have made since 1975. Of course that didn't happen at all this year so I am trying to remember the feeling]

You aren't going to hear about how Jay Leno ruined NBC. You can read about that here and here. Nope not from me. But I will say that Late Night television benefits when NBC Executives are idiots. Letterman was always funnier when he was renegotiating his contract back at Late Night. Ever since his move to CBS he has been too fat and happy. Thank you NBC for destroying an empire because now we get the old Dave back. All bitter and filled with venom. The gloves have come off and I hope it continues. But that topic has been beaten to death, hasn't it?

They are going to "reboot" Spider-Man with Marc Webb from (500) Days of Summer [check the list to the right of the best movies of the year]. I mean who could have seen THAT coming?

And finally, Avatar became the all-time highest grossing movie today. Shocking? To some but if you are keeping track at home.

Look I'm not saying that I am better than 93% of you...I'm just saying that I'm smarter. It's like Joan Crawford used to say to her ten year old little girl, after beating her at tennis.

I'm Bigger and I'm Faster. I'm ALWAYS going to beat you.
