LSU, Jimmy Clausen, Les Miles, Richt

OK, not one to complain too much so I want to get all of these in one post. First, I was having trouble watching LSU v Georgia today as I realized I can stand neither Richt nor Miles. Smarm smarm smarm. And Richt seems to want to win some player-voted popularity contest.

And what’s up with LSU and Notre Dame getting the most ridiculous calls in their favor to enable them to win games? All of the “birthers” should put their conspiracy theory energy into that.

Jimmy Clausen should change his name to Jimmy “F**king” Clausen. Not because he’s awesome, but because that’s clearly what he thinks when he thinks of his name.

OK, that covers all of my negative energy.

So I can Finally Admit: Packers Will Not Win Super Bowl

It has taken me a while to get to this place where I can accept that the Packers are not going to the Super Bowl. I mean, the story was perfect: Brett Favre leads the youngest team in the NFL to the mountain top, they beat the undefeated Patriots, the 1972 Dolphins smash open a bottle of Champagne on the forehead of Bubba Franks.

Sadly, not to be. Instead, it’s all up to the Giants to fulfill the dreams of the 1972 Dolphins, who are the only people who care about the 1972 Dolphins.

As usual, a good roundup can be found at the Fantasy Football site… actually, it’s not very good, but what else do you need to know?Â Isn’t the main point of this national holiday to sell HDTVs and boost the economy?

Wait — isn’t that the point of all holidays now?

In any case, this year I’m taking Bud Light over Bud by a safety.
