I like pizza Steve...

Well it's that time of year again, that time of year where some old guys sings that hit song...ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?! I believe if it wasn't for that, nobody in the word would know that Hank Williams Jr was even still alive, because in the normal world, he certainly isn't relevant...but I digress...

Tomorrow evening we begin the march to Super Bowl XLIV (49 for those who are slow with roman numerals)...and I for one am looking very much forward to the march. You just never know what's gonna happen in the NFL and this is basically a holiday for me and I will be glued to my TV with a drink and some chili in my hand all day (hopefully the ventilation works!!)

The NFL to the NHL is like a wet t shirt competition between a young Jessica Alba and that crazy ugly lady from the old Dodge commercials..."don't you buy no ugly truck!!!"...they have no concept of business an Gary Bettman is basically Billy Bob Thornton in 'Slingblade" and the Coyotes are like his "French Fried Taters"...I have a lot to say on this subject, this is completely ridiculous, but that will have to wait for another time.

Ok so I digressed again, anyways here are some bold or not so bold NFL predictions...

Superbowl teams: Baltimore vs Green Bay and toss it up from there

Bold #1: The Detroit Lions could start Joe Montana in his prime and they would still suck the big one

Bold #2: The Oakland Raiders rival and likely exceed all pro teams in their inability to not be complete morons, I will say as entertainment they are great, as an NFL team I might as well suit up for them...Their coach has a mean hook, their owner is a long lost backup dancer from an 80's rap video and their starting QB likely couldn't beat that high school team Favre worked out with...other competitors in this category are, NY Knicks, LA Clippers, NO Hornets, Washington Nationals...

Bold #3: Brett Favre will have some good games but I believe they will be outweighed by poor ones and he may just die of old age on the field...but for the record I'm still rooting for him, but if it goes the way I think, I may have to root my head under the ground to avoid the carnage.

Teams to watch: Chargers, Titans, Pitt, Minn and ATL among others

Random Thought #13: sometimes when I golf the wind always gets really strong as soon as I hit the ball, and it always takes it right off the fairway...what's up with that...  

Random Thought #14: whenever you look at me like that...I remember why I punched you in the face when we were kids, and then again in HS and at church last week as well...sorry about that...

Return of the Gunslinger...Dickies Universe Follow Up..

I wanted to add a little follow up to Dickie's Universe post from the other day...BK Flame!! The greatest scent on the market today...kills chanel, brute, and old spice any day of the week.

The promotional poster at the top tell is all...if that doesn't make you wanna smell like a whopper, then nothing will. I just wanna eat someone...mmmmmmm...

Let's take a poll...would you sniff me if I wore that BK Flame?...I know ya would...

Favre is like that old chinese food in your fridge...you ordered the meal for 6 all by yourself...and after 5 days you keep going back for more and it still tastes so good but you just wish it would go the hell away...

Brett Favre...what can I say hasn't already been said...well nothing because I think he is the most talked about sports figure/pop or un pop culture icon in the North America over the past 3 years..

I will say this, the Gunslinger is back...at least the NFL version is. I don't think he's firing with two barrels like he was earlier in his stellar career. The picture at the tope is actually his rookie card...

This is not the heroic Gunslinger that Stephen King Imagined in his Eipc Dark Tower series, and if this was the NFL version of that epic, this would be book 42. The series itself only went 7 deep, so that being said...Brett, I'm gonna watch your games because I am a sucker for an aging sports icon...I will cheer for it to end well and will not be surprised when it doesn't.

Favre Quotes:

I can't believe I survived, not only my life, but I am still playing football 'cause half of those eight or nine years I don't even remember. (clearly that should be one sign to hang em up...)

I consider adversity being good sometimes you know. (Is that why you keep creating so much of it for yourself?...)

I really believe this team has a lot of potential - whether it's this year or in years to come, I don't know. (Is that why he is trying to play for all of the teams in the NFL before he actually retires?...)

Random Thought#3: When I wake up in the morning, I look around and wonder what happened...then I remember that nothing happened and that's why I am where I am...

PHILADELPHIA - Michael Vick is back in the NFL, landing a job with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Vick's agent, Joel Segal, confirmed Thursday that the sides had a deal.

Vick has not played in the NFL since 2006. The former Atlanta Falcons star was convicted in August 2007 of conspiracy and running a dogfighting operation, and was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison. He also was suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell conditionally lifted Vick's suspension on July 27, allowing him to sign with a team.

Well I knew it wouldn't take long, but i am completely shocked that it's with the Eagles. I didn't see that one coming. I guess you never can listen to the rumour mill...

Thoughts? At least he went to a team named after birds, they will make an animal lover out of him yet I am sure...
