Sirius — Thank You, Seriously
January 28, 2006 at 3:04 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentFinally after 5 years, I am able to hear Howard Stern in my car again. I took him for granted in NY, and even in FL while he was one down there. I think I was allowed about a year while in Texas before they pulled his pull and he was out of Denver by the time I moved there. Well thanks to my CD collection, espn radio, and npr on occastion, the drive was tolerable. Now that I have Stern, it’s enjoyable. The man is a genius in manipulating people and in breaking new ground. Now how long before the FCC decides it needs to regulate and censor paid subscription services?
George Takei was a great guest for that week. Hearing him rag on Shatner was a blast. I hope the HS crew can keep it up–they have for years so I have little doubt, but I do fear the other interests will buy their way into interfering with satellite radio. The RIAA hates it, the people who think the government show control what we can hear and see hate it….however with some recent focus of how the money flows it may take those parties a bit longer to get their way…if at all because we can count on one person to fight for us– Howard Stern.
Broncos+Steelers=Steelers
January 28, 2006 at 2:45 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentSo the equation means the Broncos are zero–nil–nothing. Well the proof was stamped QED by the actual game. All week football fans in Denver had to hear how great the Broncos are–”we beat the Patriots–twice….where’s our respect…blah blah blah”. Not that Denver didn’t play a great defensive game against the Pats, but was no one concerned that we really saw no offense that game by the Broncos? Sidebar—Denver actually played great D most of the year…the gamble with Browns DL paid off and the secondary really gave other teams fits.
While I’m not a Steelers fan (yeah my Giants were exposed for what they really are), I did take comfort in that they showed what EVERYBODY knows about Jake {The Fake|The Mistake}. The Steelers knew what they had to do…get out front and force Denver to go to the air and make the “QB” throw to more than 10% of the field. The week before the game, we all heard how he was a Pro Bowl QB–well A. Brooks could be a Pro Bowl QB as well if enough of the other QBs got injured or chose not to play. Okay, Jake may be a bit better the Brooks so that was low…Jake does try to provide some leadership and he does try his best, but his best is when he’s not throwing the ball and the Steelers knew that and showed the rest of the viewing audience that as well. Here’s to next year for both the Giants and the Broncos.
3 for 4
January 28, 2006 at 2:21 am | In Uncategorized | Leave a CommentAs mentioned previously, it appears my guide for winning fantast football is to NOT play for money. Out of the 4 finals I was in, I won 3. Now granted I was lucky this year in that I didn’t have a chance to draft ME .O., Daunte the Fumbling Inferno, or even Peyton “My team sucks” Manning. Tiki was a stud; as was S. Alexander for me this year. Sure, no $$$ for my fine managing efforts, but finally a title (or 3).
