Football Sunday Withdrawals.

I'm a little peeved. I was browsing NFL.com searching for any sign that Minnesota might have a reliable quarterback next season when I came across a headline that read: "League could change postseason overtime format."

WHAT!? Oh, sure. After Minnesota loses in OT to the Saints. Uh huh. Yup. That's cool.

The rule would be, the first team to score must score a touchdown in order to win right then and there. If a field goal is made, the other team will get the ball with either a chance to score a touchdown to win, or tie it with a field goal.

I never liked sudden death. Call me a girl, but it kind of isn't fair. Honestly, who usually scores first? The coin toss winner. EVEN if possession of the ball goes back and forth between the teams, the coin toss winner usually wins in the end.

Oh, with the exception of the Vikings, apparently. Thank you Chicago, December 28th.

But, in all honesty, the NFL needs to spend more time in the officiating department. Bad calls is a part of the game, I know. But horribly blatant missed calls? That's uncalled for. (Hehe, I'm funny.)

Hey, you.

I haven't posted in a while. I could blame it on my day to day busyness, but I'll be honest. I'm in the oh so familiar depression slump induced by the Vikings. We are cursed. And we fumble a lot, but I digress. I'm now looking forward to the next season. Will it be Favre? McNabb? T-Jack? It's a regular soap opera in Minneapolis, all the time. So I am going to swallow my pride for one Sunday, and be a Saint for a day. There is a difference between who I want to win, and who I think will win like I've said many times before. But I'm pulling for the Who Dats.



As far as my personal life goes, things have kind of settled for me. I feel like I can for once finally breathe easy. My dad has been gone for almost a month, all my bills are coming up- and guess what!? I have the money to pay them all! Sometimes draining your bank account until you have nothing left but the rotten bologna in your fridge can be kind of awesome. Only until I need a cigarette, and I've done collected all the tobacco from the butts to make one giant lumpy cigarette.



The cop stopped talking to me. Or, we stopped talking to each other. I think it was the age difference. Or the fact that he wears tighty whiteys. Honestly, I think the men I date get annoyed by my humor. I have very dry, sarcastic humor and these southern boys just don't understand it. Or I am just completely fucked. How well do you think a mass text message to all my booty calls will work out?

On a completely unrelated note: This morning at 5 AM I woke up and had to um, go number two, really badly. So in a digestive fit, I ripped my pants off, flipped on all the lights, ran to the bathroom and sat down. Mid poop, I look up to realize I had left all my blinds open last night and I can see clearly into someone elses apartment across the courtyard. What did I see? A woman, sitting on her own toilet, staring directly at me. Then she waved. It was at that point I had an epiphany. I'm fucked for life. Completely weird and awkward things will happen to me on the D for the rest of my life. Forever.

Playoff Picks, Wild Cards.

It's playoff time.

I'll start with the AFC Wild Cards.

I'm going to pick Baltimore over New England. There isn't much to say about this game, I think it will be a good battle though. Tom Brady is playing injured, and the Ravens D-Line will be after him all. day. long. And Wes Welker is out, leaving Randy Moss by his lonesome. Nevertheless, it will be a great game to see.

Cincinnati over the J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! Despite Sunday night's loss 37-0 to the Jets, the Bengals instill a little more fear into the remaining AFC teams than New York does. Cincinnati has been such a surprising team this season, and have a lot emotionally invested into this year's playoffs. I really think they will get their ducks in a row and slap the Jets back to NY. Stat wise, comparing the two; NYJ is seemingly better, but come on. Does this pretty boy honestly scare you?

Uh... Definitely Hollywood Joe #2.

On to the NFC!

I'm going to pick Dallas over Philadelphia. The Cowboys are on fire, and they're very scary. They finished the regular season with a bang, and are rolling into the playoffs with a lot of momentum. I think so long as McNabb is shut down, the Eagles will have been defeated 3 times this year by the Boys.

...Mustache?

And finally, I am picking Green Bay over Arizona. Aaron Rodgers has become a really great QB this season. Green Bay is just an all around better team than Arizona. Also, Id love to see the Vikings get another chance to slap those cheeseheads again. ;) (I know, I talk a lot of trash.) But honestly, no one should put the Pack on the back burner, they have too much quiet talent.

Happy Playoffs, ya'll!
