THIS AND THAT – JANUARY 17

ISN'T THIS GUY A "DEFENSIVE" COACH?

John Fox, the Denver Bronco's head coach, is now in full spin mode with respect to why the Broncos chose to run out the clock at the end of regulation in the game against the Ravens, thus playing for over time. John Fox should, instead, be pleading for mercy for such a stupid  decision. Why?

1. He stated that he wanted "to get out of the round", using boxing parlance, which means he didn't like the way his team was playing and wanted to "reset it" by taking no additional risks. What? Maybe his DEFENSE was on the ropes but his OFFENSE had the ball! Again, MY rule is, based on years of watching the NFL, play for OT on the road and for the win at home. At home you have the crowd behind you.

2. YOU HAVE PEYTON MANNING! Tim Tebow is gone. This is why you WANTED Manning, isn't it? To bring you back from the brink, perform last-minute heroics, lead you to victory? Yes! Would you have told John Elway in his day that we're going for overtime with 35 seconds left on the clock and two time outs, only needing a field goal? HELL NO! You'd have been run out of town, and you still might. Field goals are easily made in Denver. The Broncos have won I don't know HOW many games in the final seconds or OT because of the advantage of the Denver altitude. A 55-yard field-goal is almost a dead lock there. I've seen it more times than I wish to remember.

So, John, grow up and fess up to blowing it. You're not Barack Obama. Nobody is going to willingly follow you to hell based on your words alone!

Oh, about Tebow. Didn't he WIN his first playoff game as a Bronco? Bazinga!


ANOTHER CONSPIARCY

The father of a Sandy Hook student called the Glenn Beck's program (The Blaze) in an attempt to dispel a notion that a conspiracy was afoot and that the Newtown killings really did not happen. I believe it happened, I'm just becoming more suspicious about HOW it happened. Yes, crucify me on the lawn, please.

Well, now Wikipedia is full of obtrusive ads. I've contributed to them regularly mostly to keep this from happening because i use it so often. So I guess it's all of you deadbeat free-loaders out there that didn't that has resulted in me having to wade through this 21st Century quagmire of garish capitalism. Baie dankie. Faleminderit shumë. Mila esker. Blagodarya. Puno hvala. Mange tak. Dank je wel. Paljon kiitoksia. Efharisto poli. Toda raba. Taikkuu. Labai dėkoju. Mulţumesc. Tapadh leibh. Hvala vam. Asante sana. Doh je. Diolch yn fawr. Ngiyabonga ka khulu. Whatever.


HOW BIZZARE IS THIS?

It is reported that Notre Dame's now-famous linebacker, Mantei Te'o, may be in hot water as his story of having had a girlfriend who died of leukemia has allegedly blown up. Some say that a hoax has been perpetrated on Te'o. How could THAT be, unless he went along with it? If it had been why didn't he deny it and isn't that about the same as making it up yourself? Was it to juicy to pass up in making him an item?

I'm sure this story will continue to develop in one way or another.



WRANGLERS FOR WOMEN

It's advertised that Wrangler has or will come out with a new jean for women that is infused with "women stuff" to keep their skin soft. How long does it last? It was reported 15 wearings but what happens when you wash them in between wearings? Or is that included in the "wearings"? I dunno.
