I got a random Christmas card today from one of my best friends from HS, who, for whatever reason, I’ve talked to alot less than I figured I would in recent years, but the line in the card said “Have a Kool Christmas”, and he taped a packet of Kool-Aid inside the card. Which was damn funny, though the Letterman-esque Top 10 list on the back of the envelope was classic, too. But it got me thinking. Why Kool-Aid? Couldn’t a menthol “Kool” cigarette have said the same thing? Or what about a picture of “Kool and the Gang”? Now THAT is a way to celebrate good times… COME ON!<\/p>\n
Now that I’ve filled your minds with the smooth, satisfying sound of ’70s funk, I’ll continue.<\/p>\n
The Browns suck, they had the Broncos by the sack and couldn’t finish them off. In the long run, it might not be a bad thing, picking up a better draft pick, but in the meantime, it sucks. They should not only be winning these close ones, but definitely winning the ones where they’ve blown leads for stupid, stupid reasons! I didn’t see Chris Crocker on the field, at least, but I think Michael Lehan took care of that. The rookie LB’s are hooking it up, the so called experienced secondary is pissing it away. When does next season start?<\/p>\n
Would everyone get off of Joe Horn already? His phone call<\/A> celebration after his second of FOUR touchdowns last night was classic. Terrell Owens’ Sharpie incident was classic. But Joe Horn outdid it. BIG TIME. I can’t stand these players that have to jump around and dance 20 yards down field after stopping a guy after a 12 yard run, and some of the touchdown dances have to go. But Sharpies\/cellphones\/cheerleading is solid. Now all these media and moral types have to come out and take their stand about how wrong it is and blah, blah blah… Deal with it, it was hysterical! And as far as I can remember, Joe Horn is clean. Its not like he was on the phone to his dealer or his parole officer after he scored. Michael Irvin danced like a mother after scores, and he was coked up. Whats wrong with a clean player hookin it up with a little dance?<\/p>\n 5 years and a Stanley Cup run later, the Hurricanes *finally* fired Paul Maurice. Hopefully this is the spark they need to turn it all around and get back to the finals.<\/p>\n The Cavs trade Ricky Davis, Chris Mihm and a coupla nobodies for some people I can’t think of right now or really remember, but hopefully this is the spark they need to turn it all around and get TO the finals. Or at least the playoffs. Or something like that.<\/p>\n Now they’re talking about actually trading A-Rod to Boston for Manny “Set An Alarm” Ramirez and some minor league pitching. These minor league pitchers better be something good, and Manny better leave his “how to fit my head up my ass” manual in Fenway. On the surface, I don’t really like the deal, I loved having A-Rod’s ability and attitude on the diamond (even if the salary kept decent pitching far, far away from Arlington), but we’ll see how it plays out on the field. Manny doesn’t have to have an MVP season, but it wouldn’t hurt, either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I got a random Christmas card today from one of my best friends from HS, who, for whatever reason, I’ve talked to alot less than I figured I would in recent years, but the line in the card said “Have a Kool Christmas”, and he taped a packet of Kool-Aid inside the card.
