Thanksgiving

... a time for family, food, football, and taking a big dump after all is said and done.

Ok, once again I apologize for the light posting, I have been away from the comp for a couple days straight. So let's recap some things...

If you have a shared allegiance with a team that I support, you are inevitably going to lose you're next game this week. Honestly, someone is toying with me. On what should have been a great week of sleeping in and watching sports...my squads have brought me down...to the point where I found it necessary to rip on the Thanksgiving day parade all...morning...long. "Is that an Al Roker float...or is is really Al Roker?" Honestly where do they get these ridiculous facts from..."You could not conjure up the boredom presented by this parade, even if you watched the Antique Roadshow for 14 straight days." But anyway...yeah...if I'm a fan of you, you have definitely lost this week.

The Giants lost to the Jags on Monday night (I officially hate Monday night football, it only brings pain and sorrow to the world), the Nets have somehow managed to lose 3 in a row, blowing two fourth quarter leads...this is starting to look reminiscent of the way Byron Scott got fired...

I was at the Preseason NIT at the Garden last night, where I witnessed the Tar Heels get upset by the 'Zags. My head still hurts and it's 12:43 the next day. But, I must say I enjoyed the game...mostly 'cus of the three guys sitting behind me...and they weren't even drunk. Here are some of the award winning lines... Instead of the famous TAR (one side of the stadium) HEELS! (the other side) chant...these guys went for more of the CHEER (one guy) LEADERS! (the other two). This one guy proceeded to dub the hottest Tar Heel cheerleader with the name Becky (she did look like a Becky) and proceeded to yell... "I love you Becky!...Becky!...I'm taking the Blonde home!" But the best of the night had to be when the Chinese ticket usher...(ok this is key, so listen up here) who must have been in his late 60s early 70s and awful short and weak looking proceeded to sort out a ticket conflict right infront of us while play on he court was going on...the guy behind us screamed loud and clear for everyone to hear..."Hey! Down in front Yao Ming! It's a seat, not Geometry!"...am I the only one to have noticed that over the past like 3 years...anyone of Asian decent is immediately labeled "Yao Ming"...for better or worse I find it awfully hard not to laugh.

Back to the losing... Chelsea lost to Bremen. This really did not matter as the Blues are already good as into the knockout stage of the Champions League...but hey...it goes with the trend. Oh yeah, and Rutgers lost last weekend as well...who didn't see that one coming? The moral of this story is that if you are heading to Atlantic City, Vegas, or just feel like ringing Vincenzo the bookie, bet against the Giants, Nets, and Tar Heels...and if for some reason...the bookie does EPL soccer, Chelsea is going to lose to Man U. You're welcome for the heads up.

I'll have more posts up later. Enjoy you're food and dumps!

You are not allowed to go to any more Carolina basketball games. You are a jinx.
