Terrific Tuesday

First, A Public Service Video for Cheeseheads

Wow! What a second half comeback once again for the Vikes. From an opportunistic defense to an 88-yard drive at the end of the third quarter I was impressed. Even if the Packers just simply SUCK, this was two road victories for the Vikes! Two in a freakin' row! Time to break up this dynasty!

I'll have more to say about the game later. For now, enjoy the sweep people! Now then, let's have some fun.

Tice Approval Poll

I report; you decide. (Thanks to you; yes, you there, with the computer.)

Well, what will be Mike Tice's approval rating now? Place your vote to the left.

What I Want For Xmas: Part One

"Run away! Run away!"

How The Vikes Will Beat The Browns

I can already assure you that our beloved Purple will have their way with Trent "DILLLLLLLLLL-fer-DILLLLLLLLLLL-fer-DILLLLLLLL-fer" and company this coming Sunday. How? I'm shipping these off to Winter Park as we speak to give our lads that special "edge".

What I Want For Xmas: Part Two

"Oh, Mandy"

Ma, Fetch Me My Gun

As I posted on Friday, I spent two days last week at an off-site retreat for my real-job. One day, during a break we spied these four birds outside at our undisclosed location. How many of you know what these are? (Oh, and for those in warmer climes, that white stuff is called s-n-o-w.)

Podcast Interview

As I mentioned yesterday, a local television channel did a segment on podcasting. You can now view the segment at the KARE-11 site. The full story can also be read. Reporter Jana Shortal did a terrific job in making this very "audible" story "viewable".

And I continue on my revamp of the podcast page. I am adding specific embedded media players for all the past podcasts. It will take a few more days to get all added. Take a test drive.

Why Smokers Make Me Nervous

French, smoker, on a airplane. Recipe for disaster.

The Commish Blown Away

It wasn't even that close. I just laid waste to The Commish in the Beer Brotherhood Fantasy league. The numbers:

The Commish
QB Mark Brunell 3
RB Clinton Portis 3
RB Edgerrin James 15
WR Keenan McCardell 10
WR Hines Ward 4
TE Jeremy Shockey 6
PK Lawrence Tynes 9
Def Chicago Bears 18
Total 68

The VU
QB Marc Bulger 14
RB Shaun Alexander 16
RB Tiki Barber 5
WR Torry Holt 12
WR Jerry Porter 13
TE Chris Cooley 7
PK Neil Rackers 13
Def Seattle Seahawks 4
Total 84

The Commish was all smug going into this matchup. He leads the paltry Norse Division, which is starting to look a whole lot like the NFC North in terms of talent. He didn't know what hit him. And I could have started Dallas Clark as well but decided to take it easy on the ol' boy.

The show-down of the season takes place this coming weekend as my 8-3 team takes on Co-worker Jim and the Cuyahoga Riverdawgs to decide the winner of the Purple Division....and ultimately the #1 seed for the playoffs. Exciting stuff.

So exciting that we'll have Co-Worker Jim on for a podcast later this week to talk fantasy. And since Co-Worker Jim is a Browns fan we'll also discuss the upcoming game.

Why I Love Hogs

Join and drown out a protestor today! This group performed Youmans service recently for a funeral of a solider killed in Iraq. Words simply cannot express so you'll have to watch the video and judge for yourself.

Why I Love New Yorkers

The Vikes played Big Blue a short time back. I was sent an e-mail from one of my favorite contacts letting me know about some hilarious videos being created by a fellow that goes by the name Kid From Brooklyn is posting. Some of these had me in tears from laughing so hard.....despite even knowing how controversial some of the subject matter is.

My personal fav was Bat Day which was orginally posted 5/5/2004 and ties in baseball bats, airplanes, and terrorism into one neat package and bow.

I must stress thast the video contain profanity...and I do emphasize profanity. So I deliberated over whether to even post an entry telling you about the site. But if you know a Brooklynite.....as I do many....these videos should not be shocking. Only the language is Rated R. I advise headphones if you view at the office or simply view in the privacy of your home.

Amazing what a man with a web cam and access to a computer can do.
