A Touchdown-like Score

October 18, 2009 – 4:48 pm

Two field goals and a safety == two touchdowns + two kicked extra points.
All hail the Mighty Chieves! 14-6 winners of the Hapless Bowl against the Washington Redskins. Iff’en ya’ can’t score touchdowns, make the score look like ya’ did.
All this slobbering blogging about the Chieves springs in part from that we probably won’t get [...]

A Horrible Thought

October 18, 2009 – 3:31 pm

There’s a distinct chance the Chieves and ‘Skins could go into overtime, and present yet more gridiron buffoonery and ineptitude. Laugh, laugh to keep from crying..

The Comedy of Errors

October 18, 2009 – 3:06 pm

You are really scraping the bottom of the NFL Football Barrel when you watch the Washington Redskins and the Kansas City Chieves play in the Hapless Bowl, and the game is interrupted because of “technical difficulties”, after which the local CBS affiliate switches to Baltimore/Minnesota.
At least, the concept of a touchdown is known and [...]

Cowboys Stadium

September 20, 2009 – 8:46 pm

Watching Football Night in America, I’m amazed at the spectacle that is Cowboys Stadium. The stadium website is currently mobbed, so I visited the Wikipedia for particulars.
I’ve stopped by Bristol Motor Speedway, just to see the venue, when there were no events going on.
I’m sure I’ll do the same, if and when my travels take [...]

He’s Still Got It

February 12, 2009 – 9:08 pm

Nice to see Awesome Bill Elliott racing well in duel #1. Don’t know what happened to his car to cause him to drop back so much, but he’s in the field for Sunday.
Two things I can’t explain:

The NFL Playoff System.
Qualifying Procedure for the Daytona 500.

Takes no effort on my part to watch and enjoy either [...]

Flyin’ the Colors Early

January 24, 2009 – 5:47 pm

No doubt about it this year; the Pittsburgh Steelers are my choice in the Super Bowl. It’s no secret that I’m an AFC fan, so the Steelers get a +1 right out of the gate.
Still, this is the used-to-be-hapless Arizona Cardinals’ first shot at the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and it wouldn’t be the end of [...]

Dedicated to Plaxico Burress

December 5, 2008 – 9:14 pm

If I go someplace in New York City1 where I feel the need to carry a concealed firearm, I’ll just stay out of those places. Without going into the inanity of NYC’s gun laws, I’ll just present a great tune, along with excellent maternal advice:

Enjoying an Extremely Rare Win

November 23, 2008 – 7:51 pm

No secret to readers here, I’m an AFC west fan when it comes to gridiron extravaganzas. Specifically, I love the Kansas City Chieves. With their 1-10 record, going on 1-100 for this season, Kansas City is not gonna be a playoff team this year.
My alternate team is the Raiders, who have rivalled the Chieves in [...]

Autumnal Weekends

October 19, 2008 – 1:14 pm

A crispness in the air.
Frost warning for overnight; time to drain the outside faucets.
Tweakin’ up the Dell Mini.
Taking apart a fan in the bedroom for my little bride so she can clean it.Damn fan resembles a Chia pet. Even in the best of homes, etc.
NASCAR from Martinsville, the nicest little track on the circuit. Beautiful [...]
