Football Season is NOT Over

Rolling Stone Magazine recently posted excerpts from HS Thompson's final notes in which he writes:

No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun -- for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax -- This won't hurt.

Well, the best thing to do is keep on keeping on.

Sports Illustated has predicted that the Carolina Panthers will win the Super Bowl, which their 23-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday may hint otherwise. Eh, but it's early - and, you can't really fault New Orleans for pulling out a win for their first game.

What a opening week, though. Surprises everywhere, except, of course, in Chicago, where complete suckiness pretty much reigns year round. Yes. I stopped watching after Bears offense was called on false start three times in a row, then Kyle Orton was sacked once the line regained their senses. Just pitiful.

Monday night started with a fight with fallout that reminded me of a high school playground scuffle. The Falcons Corner Back, Kevin Mathis and the Eagles Middle Line Backer Jeremiah Trotter were ejected because of a pre-game, mid-field fist fight. Later, they were interviewed by ESPN Sports Center, and Trotter said they were just having fun, talking a little smack, but he never threw any punches. Mathis maintains that nobody talks shit about the Falcons in their house. The video showed a fight. Y'all should grow up and start being role models like Mean Joe Green, Walter Payton and O.J... OK... Scratch that last one... of teams past!!! Come on! Kids need integrity more than ever now. Let's give it to them.

Terrell Owens has been griping for more money drawing criticism from Donovan McNabb as well as fans... But he went to Houston last week and devoted time and money to the people affected by Katrina. Rock on!

Anyway, there's my two cents between feedings and fights and other harrowing experiences of raising four kids under the age of seven.

See you next week.
