Offseason.

Look at all the choices before we add in a bunch of junk.

Is anyone else getting an Anthony Mason vibe? We have a great core group of infielders and a 3 year window to win. I don't like the names of some of the pieces they are throwing around to complement them.

American Gladiators

After seeing the commercial on NBC about the decision to bring back the early 1990s television gameshow, Amercian Gladiators, I was thinging of who would be a great feature athlete to replace the guys with names like Nitro, Turbo and Laser in the updated 21st century version. I recommend our own blog administrator, Tim, tryout to become one of the next featured athletes. If he made it, we would need to figure out what his featured athlete name should be, how about Tireiron...

From what I read online, it appears the new American Gladiators will follow eight gladiators -- four men and four women -- as they take on contestants both male and female. This time, in a new wrinkle, the players will be given the opportunity to train for their match -- and viewers will be given a glimpse of their personalities prior to the actual competish. So if you don't make it as a featured athlete, you would have the ability to train and take on the featured athletes to get redemption! Thoughts?

Sportsman of the Year

Just confirming Rotz's e-mail from last week that he hear through some six degrees of separation that due to Brett Favre's standout season for the resurgent Green Bay Packers. Brett has earned the title of 2007 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year, making him the fourth quarterback to win the award in its 53-year history.

Congratulations Brett!!

My "Negative Comments" Email to the NFL

Subject: Negative Comments (this is in the drop down menu on NFL.com)

I recently was able to watch a game on the NFL Network (Packers/Cowboys), and after having to watch/listen to Bryant Gumbel, Chris Collinsworth, and Deon Sanders for 3 hours, I am glad that my cable provider does not offer the NFL Network because I would not watch games due to the poor quality of the people listed above. Shape up and get some actual people that are interesting, understand the sport, and know the names of the players and coaches, and maybe I will fill out your "I want the NFL Network" email. I sure don't want it in its current form.
And another thing, go back and watch the officials in that Packers/Cowboys game and start holding them accountable for their poor performance (i.e. Owens fumble, pass interference call on Tramon Williams, offensive pass interference not called on Witten or Owens, and lack of 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct calls on the Cowboys for taunting, just to name a few).
Thanks,

Just for fun

I am sure Tim has sent this more than once, but it just never gets old. I am sure that the holder was fully prepared to make a play on a bad snap, granted he would not have been awarded the 2 points at this point in time (Tim, correct me if I am wrong). Best hold, ever. Eat that Romo.

Lazy Days

If you have not already received my e-mail. In the past few weeks I was approached by two of my former supervisors about a position at M&I in their Corporate Accounting Department to be the lead stock option accountant. Since the position I was posting for had been open for three months and the employee I am replacing is retiring. I put a salary request that was pretty high, 20% increase from my current salary, and they gave it to me.

So I quit my job this past Monday and my boss told me they have this policy where people with access to sensitive information have to leave the company the day they announce. The company also has a policy that you must give two-weeks notice when you terminate your employment with the company. So, what ended up happening is I left the day I announced my resignation and the company has to pay me for two more weeks.

Ergo - I have a two-week paid vacation from an employer I no longer work for. I imagine this is Pelsi's dream to get paid for doing nothing!

"I wanted to dump it to someone, that's what the play's designed to do," Favre said. "I think (running less often) is two things. I don't trust my legs as much. I know I can and occasionally when I do run people say, 'You still can run, you need to do more of that.' But it's much easier to go to Donald Driver on a two-yard pass, and he makes eight guys miss and gets five more (yards), I don't think I'm going to do that. I feel confident I can buy enough time and someone will get open, especially when you're down there on the 1, it's easy to just pop a guy real quick. I kind of got to my last option and knew I only needed a yard."

After the score, Favre executed what he said was his first Lambeau Leap.

"I don't think I've ever done one, but I hope that's the last one," Favre said. "Donald (Driver) provoked me. I was actually coming off the field and he was kind of one of these in my way and 'Oh, no, you're going.' I wish he had given me a boost. I'm going to catch heat for this until the next game, but I should have found a lower spot. I'm not real savvy in the stands-jumping department, not to mention that I was pooped."

R4 ('Nuff Said)

Goodbye #427

With potentially 6 TD's coming in the first half Vs. the Viqueens, I really wonder what numbers we will be seeing in 2 weeks Vs. Carolina.

I like these blog topics, but I also like moving one of the pictures off. The reason I enjoy moving one, is that even though we can enjoy the history that Brett Favre has brought us, I think the blogs better use is forward thinking. Like Tim's blogs about future playoff's and my peskyness in potentially moving other pictures off.

Great job guys during my absence. Looking forward to future pictures. Go Pack.

Oh, nice win last night by the Bucks. Who was that Team???
