NFL Week 7: Bengals Continue Their Quest For First Round Draft Pick (Who Will Inevitably Suck)

Yep, we’re back to normal in Cincinnati. We don’t know what to do if we’re not home to the worst team in the NFL.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Miami Dolphins
I don’t know what has gotten into Miami this season…who do they think they are, winning and stuff? It’s almost as ridiculous as Joe Flacco still playing. In [...]

NFL Week 5: Guess Who’s Back?

Yeah, Chris Henry is no longer suspended…again. Joy.
Tennessee Titans vs. Baltimore Ravens
I’m not sure how it’s possible, but the Ravens are looking marginally good this season. Perhaps it’s not that they look good as much as the teams they have played look that bad. Regardless, I think the Titans can take them this week by [...]

The Newest Thorns in My Side

Yeah, that’s right stay at home mom who refuses to discipline her child, I’m talking to you. If your child is crawling, laying or break-dancing in the empty spaces on the shelf, you should consider at least telling them to get out of the shelf. Oh, and use a stern tone. This whole, “Let’s not [...]

NFL Week 1: Football Apocalypse

What kind of world are we living in when Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco and Kyle Orton look like superstars? Where the Chargers lose at home to the Panthers? Where the Browns were expected to make it a game against the Cowboys?
Week 1 made my heart hurt. Except for that part where Tom Brady got hurt…I [...]

A Political Rant

I’m really tired of the mud flinging between two parties. I’m also tired of all the “Palin” scandals. Having a pregnant teen daughter isn’t a scandal, sadly, it’s fairly common. These scandals aren’t really scandalous, so unless Sarah Palin starts snorting lines of blow off McCain’s forehead, can’t we all just get along?
Vote independent, the [...]

NBC Makes Some Poor Choices

Can someone please explain to me why on earth Tiki Barber and Chris Collinsworth are reporting for the Olympics? Weren’t there enough washed up former Olympic athletes out there? It’s bad enough that gymnastics subjects us to Elfie Schlegel, Tim Dagget and Al Trautwig (or as I refer to him, Troutmouth). This is like a [...]

I Don’t Know How Rex Ever Made It Into The NFL…

That’s a quote from my dad…I find it delightful.
So I’ve been quite absent from blogging lately due to the arrival of my daughter, Elise, on July 10. A surprise induction really fit in well with my birth plan of “wingin’ it”. She is totally worth going an entire day without eating and being awake for [...]

Fancy Shmancy Desserts

This is the story of a girl who is unemployed and growing increasingly more lazy by the minute. She spent some time today browsing some blogs about desserts. After seeing recipe after recipe for things like “tiramisushi” and “chai tea cupcakes” I’ve learned something important about myself. I’m just an ice cream kind of girl. [...]

NFL Predictions *UPDATE*

Troy Smith is getting the start against the Seahawks. This doesn’t mean the Ravens will win, it does give them a better chance. Also, it will look prettier when they lose. The Kyle-bot is “hopeful” to be a back-up, as he apparently still has headaches from his concussion. I’d have a “headache” too if I [...]

NFL Week 11: My Predictions

Miami Dolphins vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Dolphins get Ricky Williams back. Not that it will matter. Cam Cameron is giving John Beck his first start, can’t hurt..we saw how well Trent Green and Cleo Lemon worked out. Not that this will matter either. The Eagles rely on a 2 person offense (and trust me, it’s offensive) [...]
