I try to cover a little bit of everything, but right now Politics holds my fancy.. Especially since the Rockies are playing so lousy at the moment.

The Google advertisement links below may advocate political positions that this author does not endorse.
But it is the price we pay for the possibility of making a little coin now and again. (like that has been happening).

A good weekend of Pro Football

The weekend provided some prime pro football viewing for just about everyone. While I'm not an avid pro football fan, I have to admit to a facination with New England's run on a totally perfect season, and the rejuvination of Farve this year.

New England:
The Patriots just looked machine like in thier win. Jacksonville forced the Pats to stay short, and Brady simply took what was there and marched. Overall the Pats put together another strong and complete game to go to 17-0.

Green Bay:
Is it just me or is Farve having the best season of his career this year? He looked like a kid out there in the snow playing school ground football, and having a blast in the snow. It seemed that the harder it snowed the better Green Bay played, and pretty much ran away with the game in the second half. It was nice to see grown men having fun playing a game for a change.

San Diego:
Even without their top running back and their starting quarterback, they were able to knock off the Colts. The two teams seariously beat each other up during the game, and you have to think this does not bode well for SD going into New England next weekend. The Colts looked sluggish, and uninspired, and the Chargers took advantage of them both defensively and offensively.

NY Giants:
The Giants didn't look any sharper than the Cowboys until it counted in the second half, where the Cowbowys offensive line became a sieve. A lot of people were pointing the finger at Romo having another "big" game collapse, but the blame if anyone deserves it is the Cowboys offensive line. The Giants on the other hand took what the Cowboys gave them and squeeked out a win to keep at least one Manning in the playoff hunt.

My picks for this weekend? New England over San Diego and Green Bay over the Giants.
