Enough time has passed

So I have determined enough time has passed, so I can resume posting stuff on the blog. During the off period, I have made the following observations:

-The Giants appeared to have won this Superbowl thing, according to egan321
-The Brewers have started Spring Training and are heating up
-Ted Thompson fired the Packers Salary Cap guy
-I have viewed a few other blogs, and noted that they contained pictures of hot chicks (not nude or anything, just random postings of really hot chicks spread in between their ranting about sports) vs pics of Brett Favre
-I got a new TV
-I realized while complaining about Trek to Tim that my beef with Trek was not with Trek but with Wheel and Sprocket (they actually sold me the bike and then broke it while fixing, which is why I got the Cannondale since I had to go to a non-Wheel and Sprocket and the place did not sell Trek), so sorry Tim for the rant a few weeks ago
-The Office has not been new
-I started watching Arrested Development on HDnet, its pretty awesome (I never saw any episodes of this show)
-I purchased season 6 of Curb, its pretty funny so far
-And when I hear the term Three Time MVP, my brain processes the words "Brett Favre"

So now we begin Brewers chatter.

2B - Weeks
CF - Gross then Cameron?; Hardy?; Kendall?; Hart?
LF - Braun
1B - Fielder
RF - Hart
3B - Hall
C - Kendall
SS - Hardy
P - Sheets (with two months of DL), Suppan, Gallardo, Villanueva, Cappy or Bush?

Did you guys know that Cameron co-wrote a book for kids?

Brewers are turnin' up the heat

or so I've heard

Patriot Conspiracy Theory

After watching Super Bowl XLII and the New York Giants upsetting the previously undefeated New England Patriots, I started thinking about what was different between the previous three Super Bowls appearances in the Bill Belichick era. To refresh your memory, here is a brief synopsis of each Super Bowl in the Belichick era:

Super Bowl XXXVI: The American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots (14-5) defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion St. Louis Rams (16-3), 20 – 17, as kicker Adam Vinatieri made a game-winning 48-yard field goal as time expired. The Rams had been 14-point favorites to win the game, making the Patriots' victory one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history.

Super Bowl XXXVIII: The American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots (17-2) defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Carolina Panthers (14-6), 32–29, as Adam Vinatieri kicked a 41-yard field goal with four seconds left.

Super Bowl XXXIX: The American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots (17-2) defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Philadelphia Eagles (15-4), 24–21, and became the first team since the 1997–98 Denver Broncos to win consecutive Super Bowls.

Each of these margins was because of an Adam Vinatieri field goal, two of which (against the Rams and the Panthers) happened in the final seconds of the 4th quarter. Maybe this franchise should have attempted a field goal when they had 4th and 13 on the Giants 31 yard line at the end of the 3rd Quarter. Granted their team no longer has the greatest kicker to ever play the game, Adam Vinitaeri, but Steve Gostkowski is no slouch of a kicker. Why can’t the leagues best kicker in 2007 kick a 48 yard field goal in a dome stadium? That bold move by Belichick cost his team the game.


Sorry Pelsi!
