Well, I guess that settles it....
Apparently I don't need to watch the superbowl anymore. Cause everybody knows, the only animal you can trust more than a world cup predicting octopus is a superbowl prognosticating vulture.....

a classic confrontation
Packers versus Steelers, this will be a tough fought superbowl with two USC defensive stars, Polamalu and Mathews. Polamalu has been quiet so far dropping back into coverage, but I think he will be a bigger factor in Dallas. I am a little worried about Mathews and our suspect o-line, we need Pouncey back.
Called it!
The games went as expected. Although, the Packers faded on offense, I need to say that Raji more than made up for the offensive deficit. But I do think I called the Jets-Steelers game with an uncanny accuracy.
Anyway, the Tri-tip is on the grill, need to get to it. By the way, the Imperial Stout tastes delicious. Can't wait for the Superbowl!
Bismark?
Maybe I was too drunk but I have no memory of the Bismark. Explain it to me at halftime.
The pack has already scored.

where is the digital projector?
I have this big space on my living room wall where there should be a digital projection of both games today. There is also a large space on the couch where several drunk idiots should be calling the game as it happens. I still have that zenith tv from the marine del Rey days, it's heavy and slowly crushing the crappy piece of ikea furniture it rests upon. at least some things stay the same, until I replace it with a giant flatscreen made from ashes of our economy.
The steelers will sack him so many times today that his name will officially be changed to "Dirty Sanchez"
Someone had to say it.

Championship Sunday
Packers-Bears. I think the Bears have a shot. It's kind of a strange matchup since the Bears have a great D, but it's built to stop the run and the Packers offense is certainly not centered on the run. You never know which Cutler is going to show up. More importantly, you never know which Mike Martz is gonna show up. If he decides to try to showcase his "genius" and call some pass happy game against the Packers D, it could be a long day for Cutler. But anyway, I am still supremely confident that the Packers are gonna walk away with a ticket to the Superbowl. I haven't seen a game where Rodgers has collapsed to the pressure of a good pass rushing D. I don't think it'll start tomorrow. I say Packers score only TDs and Bears get 2 TDs and 2 FGs: 28-20.
Jets-Steelers. I think the dream season for Rex, Sanchez, and Tomlinson comes to an end tomorrow. I agree Scott, Revis can't keep up with the flat out speed of Wallace and Big Ben is too big, stubborn, and stupid to not wait for him to get down field. Only question is can the Jets make the big play against the Steelers suspect O-line. I think most of the game, they can, but there will be a couple of big plays where they don't and it'll be either Ward, Wallace, or Miller that'll make them pay. On top of that, I'm still not convinced that Sanchez can handle the game pressure or that Tomlinson can deliver (although Shonn Greene might have a good game). Of course Santonio wants revenge and he could show up big, but again, only if Sanchez can keep his shit together. I'm not convinced. Steelers win: 24-17 (but it's really 24-10 and the Jets get a late score, but it's not enough).
I can't wait for the games. Love Championship Sunday. Now if only I had some people to watch the games with.
Does anyone think the Bears have a shot
short answer...No! Cutler is an INT machine.
I need Polamalumto have a big game tomorrow.

No Ring for Rex
Who cares about another loud-mouthed New Yorker, not me. Rex will be denied for yet another year. This game will be decided by how well each defense goes after the QB. Overall I would argue that the Steelers have a better pass rush, and their run defense is going to stick it to LT and Greene. The Steelers O-line may be more porous than my aging brain but Ben shrugs off hits better than most. That means more time for WR like wallace to get open down field. Revis-Island? Bah, He will spend all his time chasing wallace, and that leaves more for Ward.

Rex,Pete and who knows who....
It is true....I don't like Rex as much as I did....And I am conflicted....It would be nice to see him get a ring, but not before the Ravens do....
Rex is a little nuts....it will be interesting to see how that plays out over the years. Maybe he is the next Madden? No...there will never be another Madden....I miss him.
I think Pete is good for another year or so. Seattle fans are fickle. Not as bad as LA fans, but close. If he can produce a winning season (8-8 or better) and beat SF and St Louis...he will be OK. But 2 bad years in a row.... The biggest problem is Hasselspaz. I don't think they can get rid of him because their is no one one in the wings. And with the potential for a short training camp and no preseason due to pending negotiations....they might not havetimeto bringina new QB into the system. Even a vet would have a learning curve. The Seattle Offense isn't great,butit is pretty complicated.....
I am not sure about the Ballard crash pad....but it is a good idea. It will be interesting to see if he goes for the Seattle Hippie chicks or the Belleveue LA-wanna-be yuppie scum. He certainly will know their language.

C'mon Seattle...
Ah, still basking in the glow of victory. It wasn't pretty but I'll take it, a sentiment that I am sure all of us were familiar with in some portion on our lives.
So now that everyone loves Carrol in Seattle does that mean he can date hipster graduate students and have a crash pad in Ballard? I think this love affair will be short-lived and will end right after the bears beat the hawks down 27-13.
Also how can you root for Rex Ryan and all his weird behavioral fetishes...oh right, never mind I answered my own question.

The Monkey lives on....
Congrats to the Steelers...
A tough game that was played as expected....hard hitting. lots of good D. But much sloppier on both sides and way too many penalties...
I can't believe Rice fumbled. What a time to break that streak! What a 3rd Quarter...Awful. And how did Boldin drop that pass? I know it was a tough one,but it was in his arms in the end zone.
I guess the only thing worse than saying congrats to the Steelers is saying congrats to a Steelers fan that isn't from Pitt....So congrats Scott....I guess when you are from Rhode Island, you have to have as many mental escapes as possible...
And speaking of needing mental escapes from your birth home...Congrats Doug on the Packers. A game that could only be interesting and enjoyable to a Packers fan....Well, at least the 30 real minutes I saw throughout the game....I thought Atlanta would be much tougher to beat at home.
Jets-Patriots....I don't know about that one. I think everyone that isn't a NE fan is tired of that team...And I have always hated the Jets, but they have Rex at the helm...and I want to see him do well...So I guess I really don't care who wins that one.
Now all I can hope is that there is a next year. Strike?
And pull for my new "home team"....Go Hawks! If the miracle continues and they beat the Bears...The Packers come to Seattle....That would be interesting....not likely...Depends on which Bears Team shows up today....

houzman who?
oh yeah! suck it shit birds. the ravens had it but gave it away tom the steeler defense!
how about that catch!
how about that catch!
Predictions from the Bible belt
Mmmmm, Long Trial IPA, that there's a good Vermont ale. I just got back from the homebrew store. Making an Imperial Stout today. I have to be careful though, if it's got too much alcohol, the Georgia cops might arrest me. Perhaps in honor of the games I'll call it Rivalry Imperial Stout....
Anyway, I say Steelers win, close match, 14-10. But I'm hoping it becomes the first overtime playoff game and we can see how these new OT rules work and which coaching staff is ready for them.
Packers beat the Falcons. Yeah, the Falcons are balanced, it's true. But Turner has a habit of turning in some lackluster performances. The Greenbay D is ready and they now have a rushing attack in Starks, something they didn't have in week 12 against Atlanta (and still almost won). Score: 35-24
Bears take care of Seattle: 27-17.
Patriots are gonna make the Jets look silly: 45-10.
So Jay, you're finally a 2-timer, I mean 2-teamer.
Now, time to make some sweet delicious beer! Enjoy the games!
smells like team spirit
it's 130pm, I've been writing a paper that will go largely ignored since 9am. Thankfully I took a break to gather supplies for the coming storm, long trail ipa and Brooklyn brown lager. it sounds as if jay is dealing with his own kind of brown lager for the moment.
the pats are not cheaters, only made an example of by a system that let the entire league video tape other teams for years. looks like they are doing just fine without the help of video.
how come boldin doesn't catch more balls? other than the ones in his face that is.

Diaper change
OK...So I am up... changing diapers....
The day of the big game!
My prediction.... A game that won't be decided until the last possession....again. And I can only hope it is the BALTIMORE RAVENS on the winning end...
But I worry about either team being healthy enough to move to the next round....
Jets-Pats...yeah, my gut says they Cheaters will win that one. Oh wait, I can't say that because they both are cheaters. The Big Cheaters, aka Patriots. But you never know what Rex will dial up...Could throw Pretty Boy for a loop.
I think the Falcons are the Team to beat in the NFC.
And I hate to admit it after my years of bitching about routing for two teams...but I am pulling for the Hawks. I know it is a long shot..but so was beating the Saints. But I do live live in Seattle, so I must give the home team some love.....and now that Pete is here...I'll just transfer some USC love. (BTW..how about them Terps! Then to fire the Fridge? ACC coach of the Year? what?)
I just wish I liked the fans more. Yeah, they are loud. But so annoying. Still talking about the bad calls in the superbowl. Get over it...it is part of the game. Not to mention, bad calls helped you beat the Rams to get you into the playoffs. I haven't heard much about that. and now this Lynch run. My god..they play it all the time on the radio. it is nuts...
None-the-less....Go Seahawks!
Go Ravens!.....................................Beat the Towel!

life is just one long personal attack
why do all your rants have to be a history lesson? nobody like history, nobody remembers it, and that's why we like repeating it. why go after cower? he is just trying to fake it through his post coaching analyst carreer, much the same way we are trying to fake it through our post graduate carreers. all Jacksonville has is that shitty team, what else are they going to do there besides listen to that one whiskey town cd and watch the downtown crumble?
Let's get this blog back to the game at hand. the steelers clearly will attack flacco like psuedohippies attack the last bag of Pharmies at the Oregon county fair. Predictons? Flacco will throw two Ints, one caught by Polamalu, the other caught by McFadden. the steelers will score on defense once, and on the offensive side Wallace will catch one td, one for mendenhall, and one field goal. final score is steelers 24' ravens 17.
steelers will win and ray Lewis can shoot old spice laser beams out his eyes all he wants, but that will not change the outcome.
the pats-jets game is not even worth talking about because the pats are going to dismantle the jets as if it was a Boeing convention.
any thoughts on the packers v Atlanta? You figure playoff experience would win out but you never know.

That is the best you can do?
Nice Scott...
I give a nice rant involving all 4 AFC playoff teams, giving proper respect and hatred to the Steelers...and all you can do is follow with a personal attack? Involving Ginsberg? Your powers have weakened my friend...Better sell your IROC and get off Long Island....
And no, I will not let the historical fact of the 2nd greatest transgression in NFL history to die. It festers in my soul like a bad oyster from a sidewalk sushi stand. We Baltimorons must tell the story...again.
What is the 1st greatest transgression? Letting the Patriots get away with cheating. Why...because the NFL is a business and they couldn't afford to let their precious, sunny-dome Superbowl be tainted. Which is another reason Cowher pisses me off...saying that weather shouldn't be a factor in the Superbowl, but it is OK during the season. How do the playoffs figure in that logic? Now that is the corporate party line...Way to sell out Chin!
And the 3rd greatest transgression? Giving Jacksonsville an expansion team. Look it up.
Oh yeah...Baltimore is the only city to have champs in the NFL (2 teams--ever hear of the Greatest Game Ever Played?), CFL and USFL...so suck on that history....
Go Ravens!

poeple with children talk too much
Burns you never shut up. You keep whining about the colts, the trees, about how Poe was from Baltimore...yeah we know. We hear you talk about it ALL THE TIME! Also, I saw Ginsburg recently and he wanted me to tell you that you sir "Are not hardcore". At least not anymore, its all about blogging and poking on your overused Facebook page. I know cute little Neva has her many needs, but this weekend take a 10 minute break, shotgun a Natty Boh, and watch your beloved shit birds go down in a fiery hell storm that has not been seen since the old testament was cool.
So sayeth the we all, this has been a reading from the book of jackass.

(his blog post as transmitted by email)
Those covers are awesome....Now I know where the news industry is
putting its effort...cause it surely ain't the news.....
Jets Patriots..interesting match up....Cheater vs Cheater.....Let's
hope Billicheat doesn't break into Rex's office to steal the game plan
ahead of time (...you now....JetGate.....) And Rex can keep his
coaches from making tackles.....And I sure hope Brady doesn't get dirt
on his uniform...cause that would be a penalty against the Jets and
probably a fine....over protected pretty boy.....
And maybe the Steelers can keep Big Ben from raping a cheerleader at
Halftime. I am sure the Ravens will pull another prison yard move and
injure the rapist again. Cause they don't do well in prison..... and I
am hoping that Suggs and Lewis don't actually kill anyone....
Man, this feels like the all criminal AFC......And why does Vick do
jail time for dogfighting (not that he shouldn't do jail time) and Ben
gets a 6 gamer for Rape? Is this a white/black thing? Or maybe it is
just easier to pay of a young college girl than a bunch of dead
dogs....
So this counts as my blog.....I barely have the time to watch the
games with the demands of Neva....It is like all she does is eat shit
and sleep. Who knew that would be so time consuming? Is this all
babies or just female ones?
This Ravens Steelers match up I am sure will be a good one. they are
more or less the same team. And it has certainly turned into one of
the more interesting rivalries in the NFL. Especially if you like old
school football. These teams love to hate each other. And of
course..if you happen to be a Baltimoron....this rivalry is huge!
Thanks to restructuring of course....Shit, I used to love the Steelers
when I was a kid...but love can turn to hate so very easily...Cause I
used to love the Colts....Fuck the Colts! Don't even say that name in
my house!.
I know I am tired of the Steelers. They have pretty much owned the
Ravens since Horny Ben took over at QB..something Like 8-2? Yikes....
The Ravens are on their Flacco path...blow out the first team they
face (Miami, New England, KC)....but then they hit some old nemesis
like Pitt or the fucking Irsays (I am so glad the Colts lost
early....Hatred still runs high for those fuckers and their trailer
trash future HOF bitch boy QB). I think they are clicking...Hopefully
Cam will start dialing up some plays to actually use all of those
fucking
receivers! The Ravens should be uncoverable! Boldin Mason
Whoseyourmama Heap and Rice...you can't cover that...unless Cam is
calling the Plays.....
I can only hope this is the Ravens Year to finally get that ketchup
stained monkey of their back....And shove that terrible tampon right
up Cowhers chin....yeah I know he ain't the coach any more....but he
thought the Chiefs were going to blow out the Ravens last week..so
fuck him....And he still sounds like a Steelers coach when gravity
forces his chin to fall to the ground and his lips flap and noise
comes out. And just give Gruden and Cowher a fucking team already...I
am tired of them begging for one on the air all the time. Especially
Gruden....Christ,what a self-promoter.....
The Ravens are as healthy as they can be....and looking good...So all
can say is....
The Steelers will win Nevermore!
(That is from Poe for all those uneducated Steelers fans....you know
the writer/poet....he lived and died in Bmore...did lots of
opium...and wrote a poem called The Raven...that's where the team got
its name....)
Rise and Conquer!
(These are the names of the real Ravens you see on the Bmore sidelines)
