RANDOM THOUGHTS:
The following were on my mind between Thursday, October 20th and Monday, October 24th:
- The debate of who is better, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, is a debate that will probably continue for many more years to come. However, after the Colts' 62-7 loss and their current 0-7 start, you have to figure that Manning at least gets the edge when it comes to being the most valuable to their team. When Tom Brady was injured for a full season in 2008, even though it made the Patriots significantly worse they were still an 11-win team with Matt Cassel as the starting QB, showing that Bill Belichick was the most important aspect of the team all along. Now, with Manning out for the rest of 2011, there's no way to guess as to how low they can get!
- I never understood why certain people hate certain sports so much that they hope for a massive decline in its popularity until it seizes to exist, like preferring baseball over football and then loving the fact that World Series numbers are declining annually (though, in the case of last night, it was the exact opposite). Since when were different sports treated like TV shows in that you like one, hate another, and hope that the other one gets cancelled as soon as possible? I, personally, don't care for NASCAR racing, but you don't see me jumping around in glee when I hear news that their race attendance are dropping every year.
- Speaking of the World Series, four games in and this has been one of the three or four most riveting series that I can recall watching in the past ten years (the others would have to be the Marlins and the Yankees in 2003 and the White Sox and the Astros in 2005, no homer). Two very good offenses, superb bullpens, and some great moments including the Rangers 9th inning comeback to win game 2, Albert Pujols' 3 HR game in game 3 to add another defining moment into his already illustrious resume, and Derrick Holland's shut-out.
- If you think the media's love of Tim Tebow following a fourth quarter comeback against a winless Dolphins team after 53 minutes of mediocrity was too much, imagine the love that he will get if he ever becomes great!
- Ever since Hank Williams Jr. left Monday Night Football, all my rowdy friends have just been wandering around aimlessly, with absolutely nowhere to go. It's a bit pathetic actually.
- Was Jeo Buck actually serious when he apologized to the viewing audience for having to heat him and McCarver call the World Series for the last 14 years, or if he was just joking?
- I wonder how the person who wrote the "Saturday Night Live" "Schweddy Balls" sketch feels knowing that their comedy bit has now been transformed into an actual Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor.
More random thoughts to come this Thursday! Until then, have a wonderful time with...whatever it is that's currently keep you preoccupied.
