I ordered a new jersey yesterday. Yabba dabba do!
Someone suggested that since it was going to be a custom jersey anyway that I should go with #12 and put my own name on the back, I almost did, I waffled back & forth for a few weeks but other than Jason Babin last year I have always had a thing for running backs, my love affair with Brian Westbrook lasted for years!

We definitely have to agree to disagree.
Maybe I am broken with this past season, but I want to have a winning attitude.

Why the hell would an ESPN commentator express concern over whether RG3 is black enough? What the fuck is that? Stupid fucker.
Well, Rob Parker's contract has NOT been renewed.
What a moron.
Rob Parker won't return to ESPN

ESPN will not renew its contract with commentator Rob Parker, who was suspended last month following remarks he made on "First Take" in which he questioned Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III's "blackness."
"Rob Parker's contract expired at year's end. Evaluating our needs and his work, including his recent RG III comments, we decided not to renew his deal," an ESPN spokesperson said in a statement Tuesday.
During a Dec. 13 episode of "First Take" on ESPN2, Parker was discussing Griffin's answer to a question about Griffin's role as an African-American quarterback. In questioning Griffin's "blackness," Parker cited that Griffin has a white fiancée and is rumored to be Republican.
Among his comments, Parker, who is black, said: "Is he a brother or a cornball brother?"
Parker later issued an apology on his Twitter account. A day later, on Dec. 20, ESPN announced he was suspended for 30 days.

My husband is going to see the 49'ers play this weekend from a box/suite thing (I don't know what they're called). Bastard.

So, you're staying home with the vibrator?
Doesn't seem very fair.... to him.
I'm very happy.
For the two of you!

I think the Redskins coach is a gawddamn tool & I hold him personally responsible for RG3's very serious injury. That POS is a lying, greedy bastard.
I hope his stupid fuckin' decision making skills cost him in a big way.

I envisioned the sound of a chicken drumstick getting snapped and twisted off a thigh when I saw that.

Gonna take a shot at this weekend's games.
Find yourself a bookie, and wager based on my weighted rankings, and you'll thank me.
After much deliberation, here we go:
Saturday's games:
Baltimore (+9.5) at DENVER. This is a 4* pick, meaning I'm 80% sure I'll be right. (Duchess, this means I expect Baltimore to either win the game or lose by LESS than 9.5 points).
SAN FRANCISCO (-3) vs Green Bay. This is 2* pick. I'm not so sure on this one. (Duchess, this means I expect San Fran to win the game by MORE than 3 points).
Sunday's games:
ATLANTA (-2.5) vs Seattle. This is my 5* pick. 100% accuracy. Let your bankroll ride on this one if you feel like it.
Houston (+9.5) at NEW ENGLAND. A 3* pick. 60% sure, but not willing to unload.

Good to read! I am not a Packer fan, on the hater scale they run second to thosefuckingnewyorkgiants.
The Baltimore/Denver game is a hard pick for me. Ray retires after this season & I'd like to see him go out in a big way, on the other hand I have been rootin' for Payton all year.
Gambling pusher. Shame on you. Enabler!

MS, I hope you're seeing this game. That Holliday kid, all 5' 5" of him is kicking ass. He looks like a flea on an elephant's ass out there.

Packers sent a packing tra-la-la.
