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?

Look out for the Derecho!

wind storm a comin'

He's not part of our family.

Do you think there is more to Michael not liking Toby than just Toby runining his fun?

My opinion is, yes there is, I look forward to someday getting more of the story.

This post was mostly meant to see if I could get Cheek inspired to write his own posts more often. Maybe one more Office post or reference is all that's needed to put him over the edge. We don't want to lose him, that's not the idea. His insight to the Brewers/Badgers/Packer discussions is valuable and missing. His Taco Bell/Olive Garden post was the most creative in the history of the blog.

Getting back on track, Toby in real life is a writer for the show, and tonight is one of his episodes.

Testing cheek's sense of humor

I'm okay with the Office thing, but if you don't find this awesomely written, I'm not sure.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31520 It's a preview for the upcoming movie 300.

I just saw a movie that’ll give your eyes boners, make your balls scream and make you poop DVD copies of THE TRANSPORTER. It’s called 300. I don’t know what the title has to do with the movie, but they could’ve called it KITTENS MAKING CANDLES and it’d still rule.
It’s about these 300 Greek dudes who stomp the sugar-coated shit out of like a million other dudes. I have a feeling that a lot of high school sports coaches are going to show this film to their teams before they play. Also, gay dudes and divorced women are going to use screen captures for computer wallpaper.
The movie takes place about a million years ago, and it’s sort of like a prequel to SIN CITY. Except way less guns and cars but twice as much skull splitting. If you watch this movie and go into a Taco Bell, and say to the cashier, “I need some extra sauce packets” guess what? You’re getting twenty sauce packets because your face will punch him in the brain.
I can’t spoil the plot because THANK GOD THERE ISN’T ONE. Just ass kicking that kicks ass that, while said ass is getting kicked, is kicking yet more ass that’s hitting someone’s balls with a hammer made of ice but the ice is frozen whiskey.
TWO COOL THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE AND ONE THING I DIDN’T LIKE:
COOL THING ONE:HEAVY METAL DURING BATTLE SCENES
Who gives a shit if the music isn’t historically correct? LORD OF THE RINGS could’ve used some Journey. This movie has that chu-CHUNG kind of metal that you hear in your head when your shift supervisor at Wetzel’s Pretzel is telling you that you’ll have to stay for clean up and you wish you had a sock filled with quarters in your hand.
COOL THING TWO:FOES, MINI-BOSSES AND A BIG BOSS
Basically, the Greek dudes are fighting these Persian dudes, but the director, who must have a dick made of three machine guns, does it all like a video game. The Greeks fight every death metal video from the last ten years. There’s wave after wave of giants, freaks, ninjas, mutants, wizards, and a hunchback who looks like he’s got Rosie O’Donnell on his back.
Would I have been happy if Dom DeLuise from HISTORY OF THE WORLD, PART I had shown up? Maybe, but this movie more than makes up for that glaring oversight.
NOT SO GOOD THING:DUDE NUDITY (“DUDE-ITY”)
These are Greek times, when there were a lot of naked women around. And there are some naked women in this film, but almost every naked woman scene has a muscular dude giving the screen an ass picnic. Dude-ity is something directors put in their movies so people will think they’re serious, I guess, and not just throwing in naked hotties.
Any directors reading this – IT’S OKAY TO JUST THROW IN NAKED HOTTIES.
Can’t someone make a movie about naked Amazons and call it PAUSE BUTTON?
My final analysis is 300 the most ass-ruling movie I’ve seen this year, and will probably be the King of 2007 unless someone makes a movie where a pair of sentient boobs fights a werewolf.

Telemundo...

Check out the dude over her right shoulder...

I'm sure he's living it up. I bet he has the SB shuffle as his ringtone. Uggh.

Go Peyton.

How much will this affect soccer in America?

-10% Detracts interest, MLS teams contract, Leno and Letterman have weeks on end of jokes.
1% Barely a blip in interest, attendance goes up 1 week then drops, Beckhams resort to co-hosting SNL next year for attention
10% Solid increase in interest, MLS looks to expand, Spice Girls reunite?
100% Doubles the fan interest, overtakes hockey, Americans demand World Cup every year?
1000% Ten fold increase in interest, overtakes golf as #4 sport in US, other Euro stars follow?

5th seed.

I know it's possible. Here's how.

• Packers win twice
• Philly loses twice (cowboys/falcons)
• NY Giants loses to Saints then beats redskins
• Atlanta loses to Carolina
• Seattle wins once...

That alone would get the Packers the wild card, now to get greedy and the hard part...
From this "good list" 5 more things happen than the "bad list"

• Vikings beat Rams (counts twice towards the five)
• Lions beats Cowboys (counts twice)
• Miami beats Jets
• Miami beats Colts
• AZ beats San Diego
• SF beats Denver
• Lions beat Bears

Bad list (we don't want these things to happen)

• Washington beats Rams (counts twice, although helps other scenarios)
• Tampa Beats Seattle
• Tampa Beats Cleveland
• Houston beats Indy
• Houston beats Cleveland
• Carolina beats New Orleans
• Dallas beats Lions

Packers would finish tied with Atlanta, Philly, NYGiants
NY Giants would beat out Philly (on common games) because ties are broken within the division first.
Atlanta is out for conference record (and anyone else that finishes 8-8 for that matter)
We beat out NYGiants on strength of victory. barely. NY Giants get the 6th spot, so we can play them at Lambeau in the conference finals...

Additionally, we can somehow finish 7-9 and still make it, but I will only pull that out if necessary

Just so you guys know who to cheer for/against on xmas and ny eve...

Playoffs, Playoffs, Playoffs.

Wow, 1 game out with 2 to play, our best chance...

• Giants lose to Saints and Redskins


• Rams lose to either Redskins or Vikings


• Falcons lose to either Panthers or Eagles


• Packers beat Vikings and Bears

If the Giants win this week, it's very slim (if not impossible), so go Saints...

We need to summon Nate Poole.

GO PACKERS

Which game would you like to have back?

Saints, Rams, Bills, Seahawks?

It's hard to believe Rotz can't

Eat peanuts. My life is so much better because of peanut butter sandwiches and mixed nuts.

What's Brewing?

Too many infielders
Too many outfielders

Yikes, don't know where to start.
Odds that they are Brewers in April 07 (purely from my head)

In the "Who else is gonna take them" category...

• Jenkins -60%
• Mench -50%
• Pitchers- Turnbow -60%

In the "We just got them, so for that reason alone, they might keep them" category...

• Nix -80%
• Graffanino -10%
• Counsell -80%
• Estrada -95%
• Pitchers -Vargas-95%, Aquino -50%

In the "We might need crafty veterans around" category...

• Koskie -30%
• Cirillo -40%
• Clark -30%
• Miller -75%
• Gross -80%
• Pitchers -Shouse-95%, Wise -25%, Bush-95%, Cordero -95%

In the "We can keep bragging about AAA playoffs" category...

• Braun -40%
• Hardy -85%
• Gwynn, Jr -85%
• Hart -99%
• Rivera - 20%
• Rottino -15%
• Pitchers-Sarfarte-65%, Capellan-80%, Villanueva-85%, Jackson -20%, Hendrickson -10%

"Should be the face of the franchise" category...

• Hall -90%
• Weeks-99%
• Fielder -100%
• Pitchers, Sheets -99%, Capuano -99%+,

So, this adds up to about 22-23 players, so I think the Brewers will make a trade or two to add the last 2-3. Note: I didn't include all the 40 man roster (+Braun), everyone else is 10% or less, although I'm sure I missed someone.
