Things That Annoy You

[coaster]

         That the "weather delay" has become routine in college/pro football. Hmmm, let's schedule games during tropical season and be shocked by rain and wind arriving.

     

Must of watched the Broncos/Ravens game. The rain delay was the most exciting thing about it.

Every year around this time I get a sinus infection. This last one was so bad it decided to give me bronchitis. What started as post nasal drip kept me in bed for three days. Changing seasons and stubborn sinuses do not mix.

[Unquenchable Angst]

Back in the 1970's when I took up a rather intense study of yoga I had learned to do NETI. Taking saline water up my nose into my sinus' and irrigating them. Before I learned this I used to have 2 or 3 real bad sinus infections a year. Neti  has really helped  I have only had one sinus problem since in all these years and that was due to an adverse reaction to habanero peppers. Ayervedic medicine and yoga invented Neti specifically to clean the sinus'. Once you get used to it ,it is never a bother after the learning of it. Always make the saline with distilled water and from sea salt. Tap water and say, Morton Salt will be uncomfortable at least and bad to do at worst. Chlorine in the water and all the additives in the salt will 'light' your head up.

No love for Peyton? His performance was quite exciting, in my opinion. As for the game, itself, it was the pro version of Alabama and Notre Dame. But for one crazy mistake, the Broncos would have broken "50".

Is John McCain the only politician who can appear on TV shows? The man sounds like he never met a war he didn't like. It seems like he and Graham are front and center each time there's a chance to bomb some country that never attacked us. When is enough....enough?

I may have to give it a try. This is getting old.

Well evidently Peyton broke or tied a record, which I was not aware of.  Seven touchdown passes in a game. I guess that is pretty exciting.

He tied one, from what I hear. I was so hoping for "eight". I *think* that he and Eli face off next week. You feel sorry for their parents when that happens.

I've never felt sorry for Archie Manning.  Not even when Bill Stanfill busted his ass on their first meeting in Sanford Stadium.

Rain delay?  Rain delay of a football game?  I didn't realize that a hurricane was forecast in that area last night.

Damn, I AM getting old.

Ooops, sorry.  Delay was for lightning...

Me too Nucky. As I posted elsewhere, Peyton Manning is my fantasy QB. 52 points he gave me.
I had Eli last year and he was terrible. He lost me a bunch of games. I would never pick Eli Manning again.
I am a huge Brett Favre fan so I was a little sad his TD record fell last night, but if it had to happen, I am glad it was to my fantasy QB.

 I hate radio personalities who blather on in juvenile, repetitive fashion.  First off, I detest Anthony Weiner, but I heard some AM guy rambling on about how Weiner said, "It takes one to know one, jackass!"  Radio guy thought Weiner sounded like a middle-schooler.  So after making a couple weiner jokes (quite middle-schoolish, of course), he went on a bit like this:

"This guy, this guy, this Weiner guy -- what a pig, what a pig -- this Weiner guy is a moron.  What a moron...." ad nauseum.

How do these guys get such jobs?

I've never felt sorry for Archie Manning.  Not even when Bill Stanfill busted his ass on their first meeting in Sanford Stadium.

I've always respected Archie Manning ever since I read how when he was 19 he came home one day to find that his father had committed suicide, and he cleaned everything up before the rest of his family came home. That's a man. The fact he's been married to the same woman (Olivia, an Ole Miss Homecoming Queen) for over 40 years without a breath of scandal, while raising three sons and building an extremely strong and loving family just makes me respect him all the more. And I'm not even an Ole Miss fan. But I remember October 4, 1969, and that incredible game between Ole Miss and Alabama at Legion Field in Birmingham. That was the night when Archie and Bama QB Scott Hunter battled each other the whole game, and in the 4th quarter passed the lead back and forth several times until Hunter threw the last touchdown with a little over 2 minutes to play, to win 33-32. Archie racked up an astonishing 540 yards running and passing in a losing effort, 33-32, in what the beloved Chris Schenkel, announcing for ABC, called the most exciting game he'd ever seen. Good, good days.

Wait just a bloody minute; I can't speak for anyone else but I'm not a slut. Well okay, maybe sometimes.

That Guinness is the most delicious beverage on the face of the Earth, but only in Ireland. I drank it with practically every meal there. Coming back to the States, it was a bitter disappointment to find that The Black Stuff coming out of the taps was a pale imitation.

Good job! I'm a fan of both the Broncos and the Giants. My hometown team brings "The Longest Yard" to mind. Jay Leno loves them....for jokes.

My cousin and I part ways on something. I say that Peyton is the best ever. He says that Elway deserves that title. What's your opinion?

This is too wild! I'm hearing a commercial for fantasy football (on Coast) as I type this. I don't know whether to blame the NSA or synchronicity. I'm hearing this ad for the first time tonight.

... I say that Peyton is the best ever. He says that Elway deserves that title. What's your opinion?...

There are too many players and teams over the years to ever say X is the best ever.  But most successful on the team and in the system he found himself in - Joe Montana

Montana and Marino are in my top ten. Brady definitely is right up there with the best of them too. I don't know too much about the old days before their eras, though. I'll always link the Manning brothers to Punnett's outrage at what he thought was a racist comment.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

And we can't can't forget Time After Time, No Time For Sergeants, The Land That Time Forgot, Time Cop, Once Upon A Time In America, Once Upon A Time In The West and Hard Times.

There are some good ones in there. I remember watching No Time for Sergeants on the living room TV with my grandfather.

Most hilarious thing ever said on C2C.  I'm laughing now just thinking about it.  Not because it was the dumbest (although that's debatable) but because it was the ever so smug, ever so quick to be PC, Ian Punnett.

Well, since I loved Brett Favre (as does Art Bell by the way), I will never forgive Elway for beating the Packers when they met in the Super Bowl January 25th, 1998.

I agree it is difficult to say who was the best ever. Too many variables. But Joe Montana blew me away when he was playing. I am still a San Francisco fan because of him.
One year I had tickets in Lambeau Field right behind the 49ers bench. I couldn't take my eyes off Joe. Watching him manage the game, be on the phone with the coaches in the booth, his intensity to win (they did. pre-Brett era ya know) was mesmerizing.

How the description of any series of events in someones life is defaulted to 'journey'.. It's not a fucking journey. It's life.

From the 1970s I'd add Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers and, yes, Roger Staubach and the Dallas Cowboys.

From the 1960s, it's gotta be Bart Starr and the Packers.
