Welcome to Wide Right

Assuming someone is actually reading this and I'm not just typing out my smartass remarks for myself to read, I hope you find some entertainment in my views on sports/politics/news.

So it's actually Dec 27 and I am redoing this first post. Why? Because this is my blog and I can do anything I like. Originally I wanted to do a small thought on news and sports and something else. Hell, originally I planned on visiting this blog more than once every 3 weeks. That's sorta a problem for me, I tend to start these blogs and then 3...6...9 months later it's 'oh....I forgot about this.'

I need to make this an obsession, a passion, something I cannot live without.

...or something I'm at least willing to spend 10-15 mins a day on while I'm looking at all the other bullshit I look at online about 18 hours a day.

So let's begin with the first (new) post.

The story of the day for me is the Indy Colts and their gutless coach. You cannot tell me Peyton Manning right now is ranting and raving at losing his chance at history. Well...it's Manning so he's doing a slow drawl like 'I...am so....annnngry...'. Seriously, you're 14-0 and you lose because you're "preparing for the playoffs." This is why Tony Dungy was overrated and why his hand picked successor will be overrated as well as soon as they begin the sainthood proceedings because he'll help kids build a soap box racer or something. They have no guts. Shit, Indy only won their Super Bowl because they ran into Chicago and Rex Grossman is a fucking dumpster fire. Had they encountered a decent team who did more than rely on their defense to win every week...who knows.

The second most important story for me lately is Notre Dame landed their new coach Brian Kelly from Cincinnati. After the last 5 years of dissappointment under Charlie Weis, who could recruit his extra large ass off but had as little guts as Dungy when it came down to it, I am looking for a fresh start. I'll miss Clausen and Tate but I can't hold it against them for moving forward with their careers. Come on Kelly...get us sniffing BCS again and I'll name my first kid for you and pretend to everyone that we're naming him after me...yea that'll work. Shit, for a national championship I'll even go with a Briana.

News wise is we had a Nigerian terrorist rich boy try and blow up a plane in Detroit but the dumbfuck only succeeded in burning up his underwear. Seriously, after the Lions past decade I really don't think Motor City needs this.

Obama still hasn't done anything of noteworthiness except balloning our debt, pushing for socialist health care, failing to get the olympics, getting a nobel prize for doing nothing...he's doing just fine.

I just decided since I'm typing this as I watch TV to do movie reviews too since what the hell this is my blog.

Julie and Julia...I know what you're thinking. Why in the hell would he watch this? 1st...my wife has access to our netflix que too.....2nd....said wife. :)

It's actually not bad. I'm not talking Citizen Kane here but for a romantic comedy it'd not bad and Meryl Streep is..God help me...pretty good. We're only about 70% through (I think) but I'm going to guess the end is as good as the rest so I'm gonna go with *** 1/2. I'm not going to buy it but if it's on and there is nothing else on...I wouldn't automatically go to the xbox for safety.

Now...the challenge. Will you hear from me tomorrow???

  1. Pretty good. I'll keep up with it. I still can't believe that you watched Julie and Julia.
