  • I Hate the NFL Network

    My Packers are 10-1. The Cowboys are 10-1. They meet in a nationally televised Thursday night game. Two explosive offenses. Should be a total shootout. First team to 40 wins. What could be better?

    Hmm, how about actually being able to see it?

    The game is on the stupid NFL network. Almost no cable companies carry it. I can’t see it unless I go to a bar somewhere. Lame, lame, lame.

    Normally I’d be the first to blame the cable companies, but this time I think it’s totally on the NFL. They are asking the cable companies to pay them for this network but insisting that the cable companies give it away at no additional fee. Well, duh. No wonder the cable companies balked.

    So I’ll be “watching” this game on nfl.com and listening on the radio. Go Packers.

  • I can’t vote for Rudy

    Rudy Giuliani recently announced that he is rooting for the Red Sox.

    For a Yankee’s fan, that’s just wrong…

  • Simply comical

    This has to be a political photographer’s dream…

    From a BBC News article:

    Israeli newspapers have printed photos of Defense Minister Amir Peretz trying to watch military manoeuvres through binoculars with the lens caps still on.

    According to the photographer, Mr Peretz looked through the capped binoculars three times, nodding as Gen Ashkenazi explained what was in view.

    He’s the Defense Minister. Surely he’s used binoculars before. Hell, any sports fan who’s had bad seats could figure this out…
