My New Year's Eve

For those of you that care...

I watched a bit of the Bones 2.5 hour 'marathon' (not really a marathon, because it was just 1 show). I watched the end of the Georgia Tech/LSU game blowout. I watched Darwaza Bandh Rakho (an awesome Hindi comedy), and I went to bed at 11:00. PM.

Let's blame the early night on a headache (which I did have), though truthfully... I had no interest in staying up to watch a rerun of the ball dropping in NY at midnight.

NFL Agrees With Officials

Quick recap here. The play in question happened on Sunday, after CBS turned STUPID. Quite simply, the ball never crossed the goalline. And it doesn't even seem like the ref looked for that, given that the explanation was that "both feet were in the endzone and he had control of the ball". Almost as if he had been falling out of bounds. (The ref changed the story later, but seriously, that's after the NFL let them know they had made a mistake.)

Point being, of course the NFL agreed with them. I mean, they'll never admit a mistake. Even if it just totally screwed a team over. I mean, this is the league that does nothing but slap your wrist if you're caught cheating.

Dear CBS, You Suck!

Okay, so there have been many games over the years where one NFL team will go up on another by 30 or so points. You've rarely ever changed to a closer game, and if you do, it's only with like 3 or 4 minutes left in the blowout. In fact, I can't think of once... and I had to sit through a 49-10 Niners loss. What the HELL?

Anyhow, today came around, and I was excited because my Panthers were finally going to be on TV in Utah. Now, this never happens, so I was totally thrilled that I could finally watch them (first time this year, I think).

So, the Panthers get up 30-10 with 10 minutes left in the game. 10 minutes! And yet, for some odd reason, you switch to the Steelers/Ravens FG-fest, where there's 11 minutes left. WHAT!!?? THE!!?? FUCK!!??

So, personally from me (the lone Panthers fan in Utah?) to CBS & the NFL (& FOX, because they're guilty of this too)...

I hope whoever is behind this has the worst year of his life this next year. Jackass!

Since I Enjoy Complaining So Much...

I'm going to go 0-4 in fantasy football this week unless Owen Daniels has that aforementioned breakout/career day with at least 4 TD catches.


Come on Owen! I need you!

Fantasy Football

Barring a career day by Owen Daniels tomorrow (at least 4 TDs), I will lose my fantasy football game (at least the one on Flea Flicker... Yahoo! is stupid and charges money if you want live updates of fantasy scores). I came into this SNF game with a 12 point lead. I had Robbie Gould (K, Bears) & Owen Daniels (TE, Houston) left, and my opponent (tied for first place with me) had Matt Forte (RB, Bears) & Bernard Berrian (WR, Vikings) left. Forte & Berrian have both exploded, with each getting TDs (Berrian on a 99 yard TD catch), while the Bears have stunk up the joint and not gotten any FGs (Robbie Gould). So now I'm losing by 25+, with just 1 guy left. And the Bears continue to play like crap, so any more points from the kicker seems highly unlikely.


I really hate the NFC North. Last week, I needed 50+ points from Drew Brees to win (I was facing the guy I was 1 game ahead of). The Packers allow him to go off for 44, but they can't keep up, so the Saints are able to run out the clock. As a result, I lose by 6 points. Stupid Packers. And now this.


Have I mentioned that I hate Yahoo!'s pay-for-updates policy?
