Stupid Card Weekend

This Guy (or is it That Guy) has it right. The NFL should stand for Not For Long. Meaning, people may finally be realizing how crazy this league really is and finally stop watching the rediculous league. I am not sure how many people know how out of control the NFL is. These guys control everything. Do you know there's an NFL official who sits up in the booth and monitors the league's uniform policy? Guys get fined for playing with their shirts untucked or if their socks fall down. You know that woman that's in the Cambell's Chunky Soup commercials. Maybe she should play the role of that league official. She could yell at the players when their shoes come untied. And just ask Jim McMahon about that headband. I mean... come on... these guys play a game where you roll around on the ground (sometimes even in mud). Sometimes it makes sense if a sock falls down or your belt is a little loose.

This Guy is right. Maybe you should start celebrating everything you do on the job. Take a stand and be just like your favorite football player. If you like Ray Lewis, be like him. Every morning when you come into work, have your co-workers put on your favorite song really loud and start gyrating around. And when you sit at your desk, start yelling at your co-workers and try to pump them up.

Hey, everybody already has a T.O. on the staff that they can't stand. Do the right thing and bad mouth him in the next employee newsletter. And remember, if your sales numbers are bad enough, you might even get to have your boss fired.

Long live Seacrest. And god bless Paul Harvey!

Wild Card Weekend!?!?!?

Well, it's come and gone. Yet another week of exciting football. Winners are the Patriots, Colts, Seahawks, and Eagles. My question is not what game will you be watching next week, or who are you rooting for? It is simply...why do you even care? Pro football has lost something, and I don't know how to get it back (do I really want to?)--the fantasy season is over...I've won (for the first time since 2001 mind you) and I no longer care about the NFL. Maybe it's the rediculous thought that should you bad mouth an official you get fined (I also detest the NBA). Maybe it's that you can't celebrate after a touchdown-- NO, THAT'S NOT IT, it's the fact that each and every NFL "star" celebrates EVERYTHING (and it's creeping into college ball). So in a letter to every NFL player I simply ask-- isn't that your job? Don't you get paid a large amount of money to do this? I certainly don't jump up and down and play a fake guitar (see D'hani Jones of the Eagles) when I send an email or hang up the phone after a conversation. Grow up. Earn a little respect for the game. Not that it's that great of a game to begin with.
