I have only a few minutes before I am dragged away to my “special” project. Oh, it’s special all right…Anyway, a quick amount of random craziness before I have to go:
Aaron Rodgers is my hero. I love him. And he’s even kinda cute in his ballcap. Not so much in a helmet. A-Rod led my Packers to a victory over the ViQueens last night in MNF. I am sad that I missed his Lambeau Leap – be assured that I will be finding that on YouTube tonight.
I also need to thank Atari Bigby for dashing the hopes of that purple and gold team…what a beautiful interception. It’s too bad that I missed the majority of the game. Stupid meetings anyway.
I am extremely pleased that the Colts lost. It hurts so for me to root for the Bears (because they still suck), but a girl’s gotta do, you know?
It sux for Hottie Tom Brady that his season is over. However, I can’t get over how some people are talking about this – it’s like he died, not tore an ACL. I think it will be okay folks. I’m hoping that Matt Cassell can step up and rock right along with the rest of the outstanding Patriots (sorta like Tom Brady did when Drew Bledsoe got hurt…hmm…).
Michigan won this weekend. Yes, it was over Miami of Ohio, but it’s still a win. We’ll take it. Hopefully our very young team gets into a good groove with a solid win over Notre Dame…well, we can hope.
Here we go:
Good: The Pack wins! The ChiSox are still in first!
Bad: Is there a particular reason that we couldn’t get some interns to do this special project? I’ve got some big fish to fry that are getting all stinky on my desk.
Ugly: I’m finding it hard to keep up with baseball now that football has started, and there’s no Hottie Matt Kata around. Sniff.
Funny: So I can’t go to YouTube from here (stupid firewall), but you should go and take a look at the mini-tantrum that Tavaris Jackson threw after he was intercepted at the end of last night’s game. He was pissed, and even better was the cut-over shot to Aaron Rodgers celebrating and going to get his helmet for one more round on the field!

I feel so much better today. I think I needed a little stress relief, and after taking out some frustration on the punching bag last night, I think I’m better. Too bad my right hand hurts – I guess I need help wrapping it next time.
Anyway, things are still chaotic at work, but I’m a little island unto myself in the midst. My work isn’t being screwed with yet, and until it does, I’ll just Modest Mouse it and “Float On”.
The Indianapolis Indians won last night, partially due to a grand slam by C Michel Hernandez in the second inning. The bases were loaded and a thunderstorm rolled in, delaying the game for about two hours. After the rain delay, Michel comes up to the bases-loaded situation and belts the 1-1 pitch over the wall. Excellently done! Super Hottie Matt Kata did not play last night.
I am tired of the Brett Favre soap opera. He is doing all of this crap to himself and the fans. First and foremost, I’m a Green Bay Packers fan. I like Brett. He’s a great quarterback with immense love for the game (which is probably why he can’t stay out of it), but this diva shit has got to stop. Yahoo!Sports hottie sportswriter Michael Silver and I must be on the same wavelength, because this article about the whole deal is dead on with my thoughts. I hope Aaron Rodgers just plain rawks this season. Everyone should give him this chance.
Michigan football is at fall practice, and I’m ready for the Wolverine football action to start (for real, not just this fluff with committments, etc.). With the hiring of Rich Rodriguez, things are a-changin’ in Ann Arbor, and that may not be a bad thing. As stated on MGoBlog, you’d never see this with Lloyd Carr:
For today:
Good: Better mood for me, sunshine outside. Grand slams for the Indians.
Bad: I’m having trouble picking which 1B to put on my fantasy team. More on that later.
Ugly: Brett Favre fans that aren’t Green Bay fans. There’s a difference in those people.
Funny: In the cube-farm disassembly here at work, the moving contractors “accidentally” unplugged someone’s refrigerator…yesterday. Oops! Now it’s leaking all over the floor. I’m glad I don’t sit over there or was “allowed” to keep my lunchbox in it.
