Okay, okay…..just so no one says I’m a poor sport.
Hard to believe we’re already in Week 10. I’m having to grudgingly admit that that kid from Stanford is having a better year than I thought he was going to and even my football savant offspring is telling me its time for me to hang up my Cal/Stanford rivalry scarf and admit the kid’s good.
Okay, The kid’s good. Call me when he has a Superbowl ring. Meanwhile I’ll still be doing the “discount double check” dance with the guy that almost brungded us to the Rose Bowl, Aaron Effing Rodgers.
In the meantime, more than half the teams in the NFL have .500 records and while I’m having crow for lunch today dealing with personal football rivals, it looks like the undefeted Atlanta Falcons are having a superb season as Matt Ryan and company marches into the Superdome. At this point in the Saints season, all I seem to be cheering for is for Breezy to continue his touchdown streak.
Here are this week’s matchups – have a cold beer and if it’s not too cold outside for the grill, have a burger or two for me:
Raiders @ Ravens
Broncos @ Panthers
Giants @ Bengals
Titans @ Dolphins
Lions @ Vikings
Bills @ Patritors
Falcons @ Saints
Chargers @ Bucanneers
Jets @ Seahawks
Cowboys @ Eagles
Rams @ 49ers
Texans @ Bears
Mondays’s Game
Chiefs @ Steelers
Byes this week – Browns, Cardinals, Packers, Redskins
Patritors?
Did anyone else see his 60 Minutes interview where they showed video of him flipping out because a fan remarked that he thought Rodgers would be taller in person?
I guess he’s REAL sensitive.
Now, if I’m an opposing pass rusher, I’m trying to bring out Rodgers’ “inner Napoleon.” Every snap.
Forty Niners 30-10 over the Rams, just a guess.
@ Bumr50:
Cal hasn’t been the same since he left -- it’s like Tedford wasted all his quarterback mojo on that one recruit.
@ Macker:
I shouldn’t write columns at 6:00 a.m. Without my glasses.
BTW, DirecTV, if there are two slots in the damn GAME MIX is there a reason you aren’t giving us the Giants or the Chargers game instead of placeholder cards for games at 4:00 EST?
Oh cool. Saints TD!!
@ Carolina Girl:
Well apparently someone from DTV reads this blog -- just got a blurb that the games aren’t part of the mix due to broadcast restrictions.
Huh? Are the Bengals and Bucs blacked out locally?

halftime…two surprises
M Turner and the vaunted Falcons run game shut down by NO…it’s Brees vs Ryan unless Turner gets it going…NO 21-Atl 17
Andy Dalton, Cin has played flawless football…I saw him a couple of years ago here in ABQ when TCU tore up the NM Lobos and he will almost certainly become the superstar I predicted…Manning is struggling
Cin 17
NYG 6
if there is a team I hate almost as much as the the Eagles, it’s the gd Giants

I didn’t know they have the mercy rule in the NFL. FOX just left the Giants game and went to “a more competitive game”, the Saints Atlanta game.

http://www.nysun.com/national/why-petraeus-deserved-better-than-this-humiliation/88070/
Sorry for posting on this thread but everything else is dead.
This guy writing this article (apparently a Rabbi), claims that everything about Petraeus situation is private.
The woman involved has been accessing his office email if earlier reports are to be believed. A head of intelligence involved in a blackmail situation and the other person has access to potentially sensitive information?
Of course this “Rabbi” also had no problem with Klintons moral failings, he was more worried that Klinton didn’t get us involved in the Rwanda situation. (Yes, he wanted Klinton in another war that we had no reason to be in the middle of.)
The Rabbi is apparently also a Republican so I have to give him some credit at least. But, it seems odd that the only people he has praise for in the article are dems.
His final message is actually quite a good one, and the article is worth the read, even if the first half managed to irritate me to no end.
The message is confused, and I’m beginning to wonder if that’s why so many Jewish vote dem.
To me this is the money quote. Everything about this administration is all about how to make the won look better.
Does anyone know what is going on with google or any search engines?

@ Lily:
It doesn’t sound like Petraeus needed any help degrading himself. My question is how did this guy get through a background check and Senate confirmation with this in his background? Did they simply not find it? That’s scary if true, because he wasn’t exactly stealthy about this. Did they simply not care? I am thinking the latter, but how scary is that? Petraeus could obviously have been blackmailed with this affair. ANd how slimey is the FBI, that they allowed this to fester until after the election just to make the One look good? I believe that we need to get rid of most of the Federal Government. They are pretty much all corrupt. That’s why Petraeus got through. They are all slimey.
Dammit…Saints need this win.

There was an article on Yahoo News where the local libturds were celebrating the end of Repubicans in California and how California will be a great Democrat state.

There really isn’t a Democrat “minority” in this state, per se--both houses of our legislature are based on population so the urban centers of San Francisco and Los Angeles control the state. It’s only the coastal areas and Sacramento that are blue, with the rest of the state red, but because they aren’t as populated and don’t even remotely attempt to fix voter fraud, they get what they want.
It’s why San Francisco and Los Angeles are a mess and its now spread to the rest of the state. We lost two House seats in the last election, so many people have left. And illegals have replaced them.

NYC pizza parlors are money laundering places for Albanian Muslim gangsters/narcoterrorists. They also contribute heavily to politicians of both parties.
The ones that didn’t drift into the US and the EU went into Kosovo and started preying on Serbs.

Or the thief on Farscape.
I need a new laptop -- this one is making god awful noises.
I tried to explain to people yesterday — there is no way that raising taxes on the $250,000 and up crowd is even going to make a dent in the debt or the deficit -- it’ll be able to finance another round of spending for the free stuff crowd but that’s it. The only way they can pay for shit is to raise the debt ceiling and print more money.
But they will start reclassifying “rich.” I’ll predict by this time next year, we’ll be hearing that people earning over $100,000 aren’t paying their fair share.

Get a backup hard drive (or at least some thumb drives) and back up everything that you consider particularly important. That’s a good idea even if your device is NOT about to go kaput.
If you have your installation disks for software, you can get by with just backing up your data files.
Well, some people are getting ready, if this weekend’s gun show was any indication.
And I heard that at least one of the gun stores here has seen a 400% increase in sales since Tuesday.
@ coldwarrior:
Yep, and all those taxes that were going to apply only to those making $250,000 or more will also be lowered. Wonder how the retired crowd that were looking at $100,000 in dividend income a year are going to manage when it’s reduced to $57,000.
@ Carolina Girl:
I’d ask those people how much they pay in federal taxes.
The answer is probably zero (or less).

I’ve done that for the programming. I wonder if getting a new one will be cheaper -- at least it will have the new Windows software as well.
Has anyone looked into the Windows “Surface” tablet?
@ 1389AD:
why not also take the back off and see if the fan and heat sink needs to be cleaned.
@ Carolina Girl:
Unless you get a pretty high-end laptop, it’s almost certainly going to be cheaper than fixing the one you have.

Yes, you probably do need to replace your machine. The backup drive is for security and for ease in transferring your data to another machine.
Tablets aren’t that convenient for people who do a lot of typing.
@ lobo91:
I make about that with overtime every year and pay about 14% of my income after deductions for home interest, etc.
But the earned income credit needs to to go. I get that people get back all the taxes they paid, but getting extra $$ is bullshit pure and simple.

BOOM!!!
BTW what precisely is an “Ultrabook?”
Carolina Girl wrote:
Yup.
When they talk about “reproductive rights” it seems that they already have the right to reproduce at will, with the additional privilege of having the rest of us pay so much to raise THEIR kids that we don’t have anything left for our own families.
@ Carolina Girl:
I’ve never understood why some people’s entire existence has to be subsidized by the rest of us.

The idea was to sell Ultrabooks as status symbols for people with more money than sense.
They went for tablets anyway, so stores are having to discount ‘em to get rid of ‘em.

Problem with that is that I’m IN, or at least very near, their neighborhoods.
Nice to know my black neighbor to the north at least seems to be on the ‘right’ side of the issues. Don’t even remember what it was he said over the summer, but I got the impression he was more on the conservative side of things.

If you go with a tablet, go with a android based -- jmho. Windows is way behind the pack as far as tablets and apple is way too $$. As far as typing -- get a stylus.
I have an HP touch pad that I high jacked and put ice cream on it. Looking to switch to a 7″ Samsung. The HP is too heavy.

Wichita gun show two weeks ago they sold out of 223 by noon Saturday. Went to Topeka gun show yesterday and picked up 1000 rounds of 223 and a friend picked up another 500. I have another thousand on back order due next week plus a thousand 9mm.
