That's our QB!!!!
Apparently, McNabb was unaware that after one quarter of Overtime, that the game is declared a tie.
Great.
Why do I even bother watching the games?

Bad allergies?
I've been using my Neti Pot for a few years now. I works much better than any pill...and I've tried most of them.
But, I must admit, the instructional video is pretty funny.

My favorite sports teams stink........
Seriously.
The Cubs, who were the National League favorite to make it to the World Series, were swept by the Dodgers last night in the first round of the playoffs.
The Eagles, who have yet to win a Super Bowl, dropped the second straight game where they blew many chances to take control/win the game.
And the Flyers, who start their quest towards the Stanley Cup this coming Saturday, haven't hoisted the Cup since the 1974 season....the year I was born.
So, not only have I never witnessed one of my favorite teams win a championship in my lifetime, they have gone a combined 181 years with out a championship (100 years since the Cubs, 48 years since the Eagles, 33 years since the Flyers)
That's ridiculous...but one of these years, the stars will align.
But in honor of the upcoming hockey season, I thought this picture was pretty funny.
LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!

Debate Round 1
If you watched the debate last night, there was a ton of he said/he said banter back & forth. Both candidates shook there heads in disagreement while the other candidate was speaking.
This site fact checked the debate and gives a non-partisan view of the entire election.
For what it's worth, make sure to check that site next Friday morning after the VP debate. Should be interesting to see how Palin does.

I Hate the Cowboys
Good game to watch last night, unless your Jim Johnson, the Eagles defensive coordinator. Eagles came up a little short but McNabb looked good & went toe-to-toe with one of the top offenses in the league.
I take solace in the fact that there will be a T.O. meltdown in the near future. He's been happy for too long & is bound to stop taking his meds.
Oh well....bring on the Steelers.

Take two minutes.....
....if you're a sports fan, and read this article by Jason Whitlock, one of the best columnists out there today.
The article is mostly about Vince Young and some of the issues he's dealing with but goes on to explore the black QB in the NFL.
My favorite line form the story: "If you need four or five male groupies with you at all times, a half million dollars of jewelry around your neck and wrists and a dozen tattoos to feel confident, then maybe you should play wide receiver or start rapping."

North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout
This stout has been in my fridge since the Guinness Party. I've been waiting for the right time to sit & enjoy.
Well, everyone was asleep so I poured one. Wow, is this good.
This stout is very rich with hints of coffee and chocolate. It's the type of beer where you can only have one or two, not only because it's so rich, but also because it clocks in at 9% abv.
It's called a Russian Imperial because brewers in the 1800's used to make it to win over the Russian Czar. This specific stout brewed by North Coast won the Gold Medal at the 2004, 2005, and 2006 World Beer Championships and is rated a perfect 100 on ratebeer.com.
Well, this one seems to have disappeared. I guess I'll have to run downstairs to grab another.

Intervention
Not sure if anyone watches Intervention but Allison's story was by far one of the craziest episodes ever. This girl is addicted to huffing cans of keyboard dust remover.
She huffs 10-12 cans per day. Crazy story..you have too see it to believe it.

Madden 09
See more funny videos at Funny or Die
I remember when we used to get Madden the day it came out & play for days at Dr. Rob's house. 2005 seems like it was so long ago.
PS- I'm definitely going to use the last line from the video to end all my phone calls.

Results are in.....
This sums up the Bob/Rich vs. Dave/The Ricker golf matchup yesterday in the Wansacz Tournament.
It started out slow, and despite a stellar outing by Dave, when it was all said and done........Team Bob/Rich rocked them.
Honestly.....was there a doubt?

Life is Good!!!!
I have a few days off so I'm sitting here enjoying a John Barleycorn Barleywine Ale made by Mad River Brewing Company (thanks Jonesy), eating a few pistachios, and Lou's Crew up 2-1 on the Brew Crew.
Barleywines are one of my favorite styles of beer and this one ranks in the top 3. Because barleywines are on the stronger side ( this ale is 9.5%), I like to sip and enjoy only two. Barleywines get their name being as strong as wines but are made from grain, instead of grapes.
Barleywines are so potent that some places limit how many you can have. Shawn Nee & I were headed to a Flyers game a while back, we stopped at a brewpub and written on a chalkboard were all the draft beers. Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Ale was on tap, however, they were limited to 2 per customer.
We talked the barkeep into sneaking us a few more.

Here we go......
Cubs vs. Brewers
A 4 game series starts Monday with the Cubs up a game in the NL Central. Round 1 is Lilly vs. Sabathia.... the first time CC faces the Cubbies as a Brewer.
Tuesday is Big Z going up against Ben "Holy" Sheets. If you're looking for me, goto the Town Tavern. I'll be the guy in the Ron Santo jersey.
Brilliant!!!!
The 12th Annual Guinness Party was a success. Great music all day with TJ & Anthony and great music all night with Dino & Kuckla (Unfortunately it was Matt Kuckla, not Joe). Most people missed a late night apprearance by Phil Rossi.....thanks for stopping by.
Also, thanks to Pat McClane for the sweet shirts.
Don't worry if you missed the party yesterday, there's always next year.

Update on Cierra.....
Cierra had a blood test on Tuesday and the results were great. She had a platelet count of 210k (normal is between 150k -400k). In the past 2 months, the numbers were better than before (over 100k but under 150k). But, this is the first test since she was diagnosed with ITP that all the numbers were normal.
For those that weren't aware, Cierra was diagnosed with ITP around Easter. It's a fairly common blood disorder that occurs when healthy platelets are destroyed for no apparent reason. Mostly in children, this will go away on its own in a few months.
She's been fine throughout...you wouldn't even know anything was wrong. The Doctor's told us the first day that it would be tougher on the parents.......and they were right. Hopefully, we're on our way to putting this in the rear view mirror.

El Supermano
This video was part of my inspiration for starting this blog. I e-mailed this video to so man people that I thought that there had to be an easier way.
This video is hilarious in so many ways. From the tights pulled up to his belly button to the strangely exciting look on the female hostage when told what “Spider-Man” is going to do to her.
Enjoy.
