Thursday Update

Click Clack

Not just an awesome catchphrase by Under Armour... it's now the sound of my knee whenever I bend it. I was on the elliptical machine this morning and my knee was like a metronome-- click, click, click... I think the tipping point came with an 8 mile trail run last weekend. My knee has been horrible for several a few months now, but I think that run was the last nail in the coffin. Googling information indicates that if you suspect a torn meniscus (which is what I suspect) then you need to get off it immediately and get it fixed or you risk more damage than the Titanic hitting an iceberg.

This Week's Bets
Louisville -33 over Middle TN State
Kent St. -24 over Temple
Wisconsin -20 over Northwestern
LSU -2 over Florida

The Louisville and LSU games are based on gut feelings. The other 2 are based on the favorite ALWAYS covering the spread and the underdog NEVER beating the spread-- let's see if that system works. I have no other reason for betting on Wisconsin and Kent State.

Thug Life

Does it surprise anyone that a thug like Albert Haynesworth went to Tennessee? After stepping on Cowboys Andre Gurode's head and opening a 30-stitch gash Haynesworth was suspended by the NFL for 5 games. Good call, except I'd recommend a 5 year suspension-- 1 year for the incident and an additional 4 years 'CAUSE YOU NEVER PHUCK WITH THE COWBOYS BEATCH !!!

The 5 game suspension will cost Haynesworth about 1/3 of his $600,000 base salary (2005 stat). I hope the poor boy can survive on the measley $400,000 that he has left over.

Saw a video ESPN this morning of Albert kicking one of this teammates in the face during practice. If Albert did not have the God-given talent to play football you know what his name would be-- Prisoner 125987.

Running Wild in West Virginia

Did you hear the one about the kid who rushed for 658 yards and 10 touchdowns in a high school football game in WVa ? Man, I'm tired thinking about that. I'm not sure if this kid is meant to play college/pro football or if he needs to try out for the 10,000 track event at the Olympics with that kind of endurance. 

Makes My $650 Laptop Look Kinda Bad

On the recent trip to Columbia, SC to play the SC Gamecocks an Auburn coach had his laptop stolen by a vagabond. The laptop contained the football gameplan for the South Carolina game along with some practice videos and was claimed at a value of $15,000. Holy shat. That homeless dude could totally get like a pint of Mad Dog for a laptop that nice.

And On Computers... I'm Executing my Dell Desktop

Five and a half years old and it's been a great box but damn if the hard drive is not fragmented worse than the Republican party right now and it barely connects to the internet any longer. The writing is on the all as my new case and power supply arrived this week and I'll start building my own machine soon. Though I do feel badly for the Chinese school children who will miss out on making their quota 'cause I'm not ordering another Dell.

Name One Way to Fast Track Your Way to Hell

How about shooting up an Amish school house... burn baby burn. I hope you spend eternity in Hell with Albert Haynesworth stepping on your crotch.
