OK Day For NFL Football & Life in General



I slept through most of the game between the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, as did the second game of yesterday's triple header, the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Carolina  Panthers, a victim of working a 12 hour grave yard shift.I did witness two of the five touchdown passes Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford hurled yesterday, glad I wasn't going against him in my fantasy league.

My fantasy defense, the Carolina Panthers 'd' netted my Bumba Blitz 21 points and America's team has lost Tony Romo again as the 3-8 Cowboys got shellacked 33-14 by the 11-0 Panthers. I missed the half time show of the Cowboys Panthers game, but unfortunately I was awake for the Lions halftime show.

I lost all faith in today's music as I watched Big 'lip-synch'  Sean sing worse then a cigar smoking 90-year-old with laryngitis. Why does he lip synch, when the synching is also horrible? His song "One Man Can Change the World," would be more aptly titled, "One Man Can Ruin Music as We Know It."

The half time show in the last of the three games yesterday, the Green Bay Packers vs. the Chicago Bears was a class act. Hall of famer since July 18, Brett Favre gave a speech and Green Bay's other hall of fame QB Bart Starr, whose health is an issue, made an emotional appearance. I learned a cool NFL fact yesterday; Favre is the first Packer to be inducted in the NFL Hall of Fame and have his jersey number (4) retired in the same year.

The 17-13 win by the Bears thwarted Favre day, but the Packers are still in first place in their division unless the Minnesota Vikings win their game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. I'm disappointed Aaron Rodgers, my fantasy QB netted me only 13.38 points, but I did enjoy a hearty Thanksgiving meal, courtesy of my work yesterday.

Rumpus time is indeed over, the third of four consecutive 12 hour shifts will commence again tonight.
