Sigh



Worst Collapse in the History of Sports!

I guess this is what it feels like to be a Brewers fan.

F Football, I'm watching NBC

Chuck

I had my reservations about this show, but I think it delivered. It has a couple B list actors and I don't know how long they can pull of the charade, but it had plenty of good one liners and he sold me on being a nerd. Obviously his ring tong was awesome!

Heroes

Jeez, this show just keeps delivering. Did you see Nathan bump into Ando? Marnie did, even before I pointed it out to her. I love this show. Who is Nathan, is it Sylar? Was Peter meant to be found by the irish guys? Is poor Hiro gonna be locked in feudal Japan all season? I hope not. This show continues to be an A in my book.

oh...and I really really wanna buy a Nissan Rogue. No idea why, but I feel compelled to go out and buy one.

Week 3

Last week was tough, there were a couple upsets. Who knew that Cleveland would wake up and put up big points vs. Cincy. I ended up going 10 for 15, which is only good for 67%. This week has to be better.

The AZ lose put me below 80% last week. Still over 70% so it wasn't that bad. The week was easier though, here are my pics for week 2.

Not many upsets this week. You have to be careful when picking upsets, you can't force them.

We are official california residents

Went to the DMV today to get licenses and registration for both vehicles. Marnie has been worried this whole time because you have to take a written test. She looked over the handbook and was stressing pretty hard. I said, "meh, I'll be fine."

You could miss 6 out 36. She missed 5 and I missed....2.

The two I missed were, what is the blood alcohol level in which it is illegal to drive? The options were .05, .08, .10. I chose .05, for the state of california, the answer is .08. The other question I missed was When do you have to fill out a (SR1) form for the DMV. The answers were like 90 days past due registration, get in an accident and the damages are over $750, and getting a traffic violation. The answer is #2, I chose #1. Oh well, I got the "paperwork" questions wrong and actually undershot on the blood alcohol level one.

I just find humor in that I did nothing to prepare and got less wrong.

New TV


Marnie got a job and she starts today. The first priority after her getting a job was to get a TV for the front living room. We were sporting a 27 inch or so and it was small.
We headed to Sam's Club and got a Vizio. It's a 37 inch flat screen. It's pretty nice and was cheaper than the other ones.
Evidently we don't have Top Gun, so I went and used the Wizard of Oz. In hindsight, should have probably gone with a Star Wars.

The Goal is 80%

Do you know why Monday Night Football is the most bet on game of the week? It's the last chance that these guys have to break even before they visit their bookie on Tuesday.

Yea, I watched Two for the Money again. I think I'm going to watch it every year before football season, it's a good sports betting movie. I'm also gonna make my picks every week. Like the title says, the goal is 80%. The bold are my picks.

Stupid Stupid

It's a good thing I didn't start Buchholz today on my fantasy baseball team. Gawd I hate the redsox even more.
