That ended up being some exciting ending to the Sugar Bowl. And yes, I stayed up until 2:00 waiting for the final AP poll. Not on purpose, mind you. It just kind of happened that way.<\/p>\n
Brent Musberger is an awful, awful announcer. He drives me batty every fall doing games. He\u2019s so judgmental in his analysis of college players. He predicts things that won\u2019t ever happen. He gets excited about things that have no bearing on the game (\u201cNow wait a minute, LSU players say they have the ball!\u201d after the officials already gave possession to OU. Like LSU players have veto power or something.) ABC somehow continues to think he\u2019s best suited to do the marquee game of the season each January. CBS wised up and booted his ass during the 1990 Final Four (not that Jim Nantz is particularly dynamic or knowledgeable). Why can\u2019t ABC do the same?<\/p>\n
I forgot to post my NFL playoff predictions before we left. I picked Tennessee to beat Baltimore in a tight game, possibly on a last minute field goal. I thought Carolina would roll over my Cowboys. I thought Green Bay would win a nail biter against Seattle, possibly on special teams or a turnover. And I expected the Colts to just destroy Denver. Honest, that\u2019s exactly what I typed Wednesday.<\/p>\n
OK, seriously, I like the Colts to beat the Chiefs in an extremely tight game. Both teams have balanced offenses, with the Chiefs running better and the Colts passing better. But the Chiefs problems on defense will be too much to overcome, where the Colts defense is really humming right now. I like New England to win a surprisingly easy game over Tennessee. Rams win big over Carolina. And the Packers pull a shocker in Philly. Two upsets!<\/p>\n
There are a lot of cool things in the NFL. The anticipation when Dante Hall gathers in a punt. Peyton Manning throwing a laser beam to Marvin Harrison. Ray Lewis chasing someone down. Knowing Tom Brady will find a way to win. Steve McNair. But nothing is cooler than Bret Favre running around in celebration after a win.<\/p>\n
My picture with the rules for our cabin in French Lick turned out nicely. Here\u2019s how we were instructed to operate our furnace. All grammatical errors are the responsibility of our hostess.<\/p>\n
Your Furnace
\nIf you want your furnace to keep you warm follow these suggestion\u2019s!
\n1. Cabin will be comfortable when you arrive. Please keep door\u2019s closed as soon as possible.
\n2. DO\u2019NOT open window\u2019s!
\n3. Keep register\u2019s free from clothing, baggage, blanket\u2019s, chairs, tables, etc. This is your furnace vent\u2019s!
\n4. Keep inside door\u2019s open for complete circulation as much as possible!
\n5. Adjust thermostat only few degrees at a time or unit will SHUT DOWN!!!<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t it amazing I got any sleep with all that material? Sentence #3 is especially inspiring, using both correct and incorrect plural forms. I\u2019m amazed the words circulation and thermostat were spelled correctly. And was she a weather girl in a past life? What\u2019s the deal with all the exclamation points? This could be a long, lost relative of Gary Lezak we were dealing with.<\/p>\n
Have you seen this low-carb Angus burger at Hardee\u2019s? Have you seen this? A burger with onions, tomato, cheese wrapped in lettuce. I understand the Atkins Diet works for some and thus is quite popular. But I love the fact someone was sitting in a Hardee\u2019s and thought, \u201cWe could pull the bun off and market our crappy burger as low carb!\u201d Brilliant!<\/p>\n
Speaking of low carb, I enjoyed a Queso Burrito at Qdoba Saturday. Rice, beans, chicken, and a three-cheese sauce all wrapped in a big, fat tortilla. I could probably have run a couple marathons on all the carbs that sucker had. It\u2019s nice to not have to worry about that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
