AQUARIUS ZODIAC URANUS IS CALLING

Some Twitter-twit just tweeted a horoscope courtesy of Twitter (Twittascope).  Say that three-times fast.  Now I'm not real Twitter savvy, and I certainly don't follow or believe in horoscopes. For the recored, I'm strictly a Ouija board believer.  I mean who isn't, right?  Anyway, for whatever its worth, the horoscope stated:

"Predictable Uranus is still playing a significant role in your life by preventing you from becoming overly rigid. Even if you are absolutely determined to have your way, something can snap, forcing you to radically shift your expectations. Remember, the greater the buried tension, the more forceful the release. Instead of fighting against change, it's much healthier now to embrace it."

So, in other words, just pull your head outta your "ass"...
...or in the case, "URANUS".  

Thought I would share both the prediction, and this 'Keep It Green It's Not Uranus" offering from Jack Fact Graphics.

PEYTON AND DENVER OFFICIALLY SCREWED

Yup, it's official.  The Denver Broncos and quarterback Peyton (rhymns with 'Satan') are officially screwed, just ask Pat Roberston.  He was 'round when Denver released the Tebow, and sealed their fate...

“I think the Denver Broncos treated him shabbily. He won seven games. He brought them into the playoffs, for heaven sakes. I mean, they were a nothing team. He rallied them together with spectacular last-minute passes and, you know, when they beat Buffalo — I mean, Pittsburgh — it was a tremendous victory.”

Buffalo? Was he thinking Denver Colorado and was subconciously thinking about the University of Colorado in Boulder, i.e., the Buffaloes?  Surely the senile old coot didn't mean the Bills, did he?

“And you just ask yourself, OK, Peyton Manning was a tremendous MVP quarterback, but he’s been injured. If that injury comes back, Denver will find itself without a quarterback — and in my opinion, it would serve them right.”

Nothing outrageous yet, until he blathered on and let loose this gem.

"Manning deserves to get hurt after the Tim Tebow trade"

Damn.  I'm hoping, or in this case praying, that at the very least Manning's feelings get hurt.  Something that will fulfill the prophecy of this great sage of the 21st Century. Pat, holy shit dude, you're the best.


PS:  If God's wrath doesn't take down Peyton, maybe the fashion police will rough him up for that horrific suit-tie combination.  

MANNING TEMPTING FATE BY WEARING DENVER NO. 18

Sure, Frank Tripucka gave Peyton Manning permission to wear his No. 18.  Really, why wouldn't he?  Still, I wonder if it might be bad karma to do this.  Probably not, but If I were Manning, and God knows I'm not, I wouldn't go tempting fate or doing anything that the football Gods might frown upon.

We will have to see if the gimpy-necked field general will be 100% this year, and whether or not he'll get TRIPUCKA'd at some point during the season.

"HEY PEYTON, BREAK A LEG!"

By the way, our boy Frank Tripucka was the first Denver Broncos QB to wear No. 18, and is one of only three Broncos to have his number retired.

St. Patrick's Day And The Rest Of The Year?

Another St. Patrick's Day is upon us, and we all will go through our respective rituals in our respective cities.  Most have some kind of Irish-related festivities, but when it comes to drinking, what city has true staying power?  What city has, as  Charles Bukowski would say, has the necessary "endurance" to be legitimately hailed the "Football Town With a Drinkin' Problem".  For my money, it has got to be a gloomy rust belt city, one with a great football legacy, and one with a shot and beer mentality.

I don't think there is any question that Pittsburgh is that town, that definitive "Drinkin Town with a Football Problem".  What do you think?  How does your town stack up?

COLTS OFF OF THE LOMBARDI HUNT

The expression, "INDIANAPOLIS 2006 WORLD CHAMPIONS" is but a distant memory, and the Indianapolis Colts hoisting another Super Bowl trophy is not something likely to occur anytime soon.

Yup, the Indianapolis Colts have officially fallen off of the list of potential Lombardi candidates with the imminent departure of "future hall-of-famer" and "4-time league MVP" (hurts to say that, huh?) Peyton Manning.  They will obviously be floundering around for the foreseeable future, even if they are about to haul in Andrew Luck with the first overall pick in the draft.  Assuming they grab Luck, and there isn't a compelling reason why they wouldn't, It would be hilarious (if not amusing) if Luck becomes the next big bust like Ryan Leaf or a half dozen other 'sure things' that have gone before him.


Oh and just one more thing.  Whatever team acquires the goose-necked Manning, chances are they aren't going to get a sniff of a championship either.    

NEW YORK GIANTS - 2011 World Champions

Belated congratulations to the New York Giants on their fourth Super Bowl or 'World' Championship if your prefer! They prevented the New England Patsies from claiming (or stealing) another Super Bowl, to the delight of many.  Fans all over the world, my self included, still think of Eli as a bit of a schmuck, but there is no denying that winning a second Lombardi ain't no fluke.

Brother Payton proved to be somewhat of a jerk through his schmuckatellian antics during Super Bowl week.

Here's an unauthorized image from Jack Fact Graphics commemorating, or at least inspired by, the GIANTS SUPER BOWL XLVI victory.  This image is available on a wide variety of awesome products.
