There’s always the chance that something strikes me tomorrow to blog about, but I highly doubt it, so let’s just take a quick look around and hit some quick stuff.
** I don’t care if the Patriots play the starters this weekend or not. Really, they’re already sewn up as the division champion, and there’s not much difference between playing the Jets, or the Ravens, or someone else, at home. Any way you look at it they have to win that one, and then go to either San Diego or Indy, and I think I’d rather go to Indy than SD at this point.
** My early Super Bowl prediction, San Diego versus Philly. San Diego is the best team in football right now, I would want no part of them.
** Last night’s MNF game was awesome. Lyra was watching a movie so I didn’t throw it on until late in the fourth quarter, and it blew my mind. I had last checked in at 16-0 Chicago, and figured it was over, but what a comeback by Minnesota. That catch by Sid Rice was as good as anything you’ll see.
Minnesota could have won, but the story that no one talks about is what bit them in the butt, and that’s that despite his running prowess, Adrian Peterson is, at times, a lot like Laurence Maroney in that he has a bad case of fumblitis, and it pops up at bad times.
If Peterson doesn’t fumble that ball, Minnesota probably drives down to win it. Instead he coughs it up and then Jay Cutler threw a perfect strike for the win.
Speaking of Cutler, has there ever been a pro athlete that looked so miserable after a big win? That guy looks downright depressed all the time.
** Saw The Mighty Mighty Bosstones with Eagle One the other night at the House of Blues and had a great time. I’ve been a fan of the Bosstones since my college days, but just a casual one, but man can those guys play. They only were on for about 80 minutes, but it was a very enjoyable show. They were awesome. I wish I could go to the final show tonight, but alas I have to be in Bridgewater for a basketball game.
** Christmas was fun, with the exception of some family stuff. My grandmother fell down the stairs last week and is in the hospital, and it broke my heart to have to visit her there instead of at the usual Christmas gathering, but her spirits are high and she’s doing much better.
As for gift-giving, and getting, the older I get the more and more its easier to accept that it’s not about the adults, but all about the kids. I got some fun stuff, but nothing huge, and I’m cool with that. I do have some gift cards to get through at some point, but nothing is coming to mind.
** Can’t wait to see the Winter Classic at Fenway on Saturday, on TV. I’m no fan of sitting through the cold anyways, so I don’t mind that I’m not going. We saw the rink set up at Fenway on Saturday night, looking through the grate at the Bleacher Bar on Lansdowne, and it looked pretty cool. I’m hoping it snows a little bit, that would be awesome in HD.
** I’ve got a fantasy football blog coming soon. It will make you laugh, I promise, but I’m not quite ready to put all my thoughts down just yet.
By the way, Money Matt owes me a cut of his championship. Yes the Stumblin’ Irish had the worst season in the history of fantasy sports, but without the most clutch tip of all time he would have finished third in the championship round instead of winning it all. I think that’s worth a burger at next year’s draft, at least.
** I’m hoping to get to the movies sometime soon to see Avatar. I’ve heard mixed things. Movie snobs keep saying how the story is lacking and it’s all about the CGI, and it feels flat. Regular people seem to really dig it and rave about it.
Unfortunately the only movie I’ve seen since The Blind Side — which is not a football movie by the way, it’s a disguised chick flick, albeit a good one, but still — the only movie I’ve seen is Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Squeakwel. Oh the joys of parenthood.

I’ll even throw in some buffalo wings or sliders if you want.
I cry fantasy foul….your team stunk and you were out of it so you helped another guy win by screwing the other guys who had a chance…I hope you choke on your burger.
