Due to his shoulder injury and maybe because of throwing footballs for 18 seasons, Favre thinks it might be time to retire.

Then again, maybe he’s due for a short stint in Minnesota.

I like Favre. At first it pissed me off that Favre moved over to New York. Then again, it’s nothing new to watch a great player team hop. Jordan with the Wizards. Gretzky to the Blues then Rangers. So I support his decision to un-retire again. Which he hasn’t done yet but, give him time, again.

This topic/conversation is a week or so off but I just remembered to look up the facts.

A certain redheaded “animal lover” drunkly claimed that bull riding was animal cruelty. Making statements like, “look at the bulls eyes, he’s so sad” and “they tie a rope around thier balls to make them buck.” Although I had valid question about why these thoughts had been thought, I know the best thing to do is not agree with a drunk person, but rather agree with them and make the situation seem worse than it is just to upset that person more.

Now to review some things.

Do I agree with bull riding and do I think it’s cruel. Strapping my left hand, extremely tight to the back of a naturally wild animal doesn’t sound like a barrel of laughs. Although it does sound like entertainment. I’m sure there are some establishments that don’t tend to the bulls with the greatest care to hopefully increase the pocket depths of others. I assume the events on TV, those probably treat the bulls like kings.

How the hell can you tell if a bull is sad? Do bulls get sad? Do they understand the concept of being sad? If I was in a metal cage with a guy strapped to my back, I wouldn’t be sad. I’d be nervous, a little confused and most likely flamingly gay.

The major argumentative point was, the tying of the bulls balls Tightly to supposedly make them buck. Now, I don’t have my balls tied on a daily basis but, I’d believe that having my balls tied would decrease my urge and wanting to kick my legs as I spin in circles. Also, I’m no animal doctor but, the “second rope” seems to be tie around the stomach, in front of the legs. The testicles then, I believe, are located “at the back of the plane”. If that confuses you then let me put it this way. I don’t have to adjust myself to a more comfortable position during the process of putting a belt on.

Try wrapping a rubber band around your cat or dogs foot. Most likely the animal will find it annoying are try to remove said item. Since animals don’t have opposable thumbs, kicking is a close second process of removing items off their body.

If there is any evidence of otherwise, send me a photo. Photo’s are worth 1000 words but a 1000 word response about hearsay is worthless.

I can’t think of a more unexciting Super Bowl match up since, well, since I’ve been paying attention to the NFL.

I’m not vested in either team. Minus the following two points. Steelers fans annoy me and the Cardinals are in the same division my beloved Rams are in. That being said, you can see why I’d like to see both teams lose. Maybe they can tie! I dunno, I’ll ask my friend Donovan. He might know.

In hopes of a great game is the reason I’ll be watching. Even the commercials in the past years have been failures. They just reply the old ones now. Count the number of times you watch a horse kick a field goal. They just might replay the old Mean Joe Green old. Well it’s a classic, and they don’t have any good new ones. Then again, Mean Joe was a Steeler. But that don’t give them a free pass to stop being creative. Entertain me, bitches!

So, in lue of all that, I’m going to pick… well, Arizona is getting 7. The O/U is 47. Vegas says 27-20, PIT?

The Steelers have tightened up their defense in the 2nd half of the season holding opponents to under 20 points. The Cardinals on some days can go out and score 30+ on you to make you beat them. The Steelers haven’t really been tested to much against a high powered offense this year. The Cardinals have a couple of games that they’ve picked about the defense. Some games only lost because the Cardinals defense was picked apart more. Big Ben isn’t that flashy “I know what I’m doing, let me call the plays” type. Warren is the better field general. The game won’t be about who has the better defense. It will be more about which defense can slow the opposing offense down faster and force them to punt into good field position.

I’m going with the exact opposite of Vegas. Arizona by 7.

Holy crap, I had this idea five year ago. Oh well, they did an OK job with what they had. And I’m too lazy to make my own. Although mine had a laser light show to draw the lines. They were a tad smarter and used a projector. Cool, regardless. Here’s the website.

Coming off two looses that meant nothing, didn’t count and totaled 71-6. Playing the defending Super Bowl Champions. In New Jersey. Campbell on his whichever numbered offense now. What else can you say?

Maybe next week.

Jason Taylor enjoyed his first day as a Skin. I don’t know if it’ll make much of a difference on the Skins D. I’ve got nothing against the guy, he’s not a downgrade in any since, I just don’t think he’s an upgrade. He’ll most likely be playing left after being know for playing right. The past couple seasons he’s been on the left.

During training camp today he got questioned a little about his shoes. Since Nike is a little slow on the new burgundy and gold, he had to tap dance in his orange and teals. Also, I’m getting tired of the dancing jokes, unless told by another player.

Loki and I are now proud owners of Redskins season tickets. 2 seats, up in section 416 row teenish, I forgot already. We would had been in 449 but we were too busy bullshiting on the phone for a minute.

As explained to us, next season we get a better pick of what sections we want. I said, “Sections 301 or 342″, Loki said “$1600″, I said, “Eh, nevermind”. I’ll be happy with some low row 50 yard line 400’s or higher row 50 yard line 200’s.

So, if anyone wants tickets minus the Cowboys and Rams games. Loki possibly would also like to go to division opponent games, I.E. Giants and Eagles. But all others, I think are open for the taking. Those include, in order of appearance: Saints, Cardinals, Browns, and Steelers.

Since I have a hard time doing push ups, ah hell, a push up, I figured I’d give this program a try along with my Couch to 5K plan.

I found this a bit ago and started trying it out. I’m just starting out on Week 3 now. As a part-time smoker, it hasn’t been bad either. No stopping and nearly throwing up as I have in the past. It’s pretty sweet that from our place to the light off Rolling is pretty much 1 mile, give or take some feet. So far I’ve been covering 2 miles each run. Which is just the natural timing of the run, it just happens to be about 2 miles total. According to the schedule, I should be able to jog the whole 2 miles in about 4 more weeks.

This week may be a little tougher. I get to do some 3 minute runs. It’s seeming to build up nicely and not overexerting me at all, so, I’ll trust the plan. I’m sure I’ll be fine and as long as I don’t stare at my stopwatch the whole time.

[quote]The New York Yankees will sign actor and comedian Billy Crystal to a one-day contract.

With the approval of MLB commissioner Bud Selig, the Yankees announced that Crystal will sign the contract and work out with the team at Legends Field on Wednesday, before playing in Thursday’s Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.[/quote]

Which is a bigger joke? Billy with the Yankees or Jordan with the White Sox?
