Supp-er Signing?

Sorry, that is cheesy. So the Brewers make Suppan the highest paid free agent in Brewer history. I'm okay with the signing, but the real question is will he or Sheets get hurt first? The Brewers website has the starting rotation as 1. Capuano 2. Sheets 3. Suppan 4. Bush 5. Vargas. Is this correct? I think it is but my Dad says Sheets is still #1 and Suppan is now #2?

Taco Bell or Olive Garden?

I know this is old news, but sitting at work, just a few hours before leaving for the Packer game I was wondering what would be worse. Getting sick from Taco Bell, or the Olive Garden. I fear that both would be awful, but I just can't tell which one would be worse.

I mean normally one is sick 15 min after a trip to T-bell anyways, but the Olive Garden has some wonderful dishes. I enjoy a nice salad, breadstick and Chicken Parmesean once in a while. But getting sick on something like that would be a nightmare.

T-bell should have a sign on the door, we are not satisfied unless you are sick within 30 min. Or the standard 1 billion Taco's sold, 1 billion cans soiled.

Now this isn't a stupid toilet humor blog, and I know the blog is meant for sports conversations mostly, and the added TV show discussion, it is more of a call to where are some of our favorite places of the past.

With Taco Bell and the Olive Garden getting so much bad press, do you all remember places like Chi-Chi's and the Sizzler. How about Ponderosa and Bonanza. Now these places were the kings of disease, but I still have a fond place in my heart for the good old days.

This message is listed with the fullest intent of spiking my number of blogs and posts in order to save my spot in the group, it is not meant for a realistic assesment of the on going problem with american restuarants and health concerns and certainly not sponsored by the parent companies of Taco Bell which is Pepsico and Olive Garden, which I have no desire to look up and find out.

What beats this?

Forward Brett Wiesner scored five goals as the Milwaukee Wave routed a Premier Arena Soccer League team from St. Louis, 34-6, on Wednesday morning at the U.S. Cellular Arena.A school-day crowd estimated at 3,500 watched as the Wave rolled to a 20-0 advantage at halftime.Midfielder Marcelo Fontana scored three goals, while Marcio Leite and Marcelo Santos each had two goals for Milwaukee. Former Milwaukee Rampage standout Digital Takawira added a goal and an assist. Kyle Trimble played in goal for the Wave.A number of the Wave regulars did not play, including Greg Howes, Todd and Troy Dusosky, Chad Dombrowski, Joe Hammes and goalkeeper Nick Vorberg.The Wave will resume Major Indoor Soccer League play with its annual New Year's Eve game, scheduled at 4 p.m. Dec. 31 against the Philadelphia Kixx at the Arena.

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?

Add more to comments, has to be a consensus to be included.

IOWA

Guys.
I have been awful lately, but I wanted to see if we can do an ole fashioned Minor League trip next year. What do you think about one or more of the days during this friday through Sunday series between Iowa and Nashville.

July 20-22.

In Iowa.

This would be awesome. Let me know your thoughts.

That's right, playoffs

rotz isn't here to question it...

• Team.......Record....Prediction........Final
• Chicago.....11-2....TB. W Det W.GB. L.. 13-3
• Saints...... 9-4....Was W NYG W Car W.. 12-4

• St Louis.... 5-8....Oak W Was W Min L... 7-9
• Green Bay... 5-8....Det W Min W Chi W... 8-8

It's quite possible the only upset predicted is GB over Chicago in a meaningless game (for them)

I didn't take the time to figure out tie-breakers, I'll take my chances with a 7-5 conference record.

I'll make sure to update next week after the big win over the LIONS.

Guys whose names end with "O"

So we decided to keep Graffinino instead of Cirillo. Lets see, one guy is a Brewer that got traded but returned, the other is just a nomad/renegade/mediocre guy for hire. One can play 3B, SS, and 2B and bat over .300 playing part time. The other can bat .260-.280 and play 2B. Neither guy was in the long term plans. Honestly, this is dumb or am I missing something? I thought we only offered Graffinino arbitration so that we would get picks when he signed with a different team. That must have been a false report.

December 22nd

I will be having a Festivus style party at my home on December 22nd. Starting at 7:30pm running until we pass out. There will be booze, and deep fryed turkey. I hope you can all make it. Please pass this on to our other friends, and family members that may join.

We will also be celebrating the end of Egan's persuit of his MBA.
