What I’m thinking about right now.

2:13 AM Monday Jan 23rd

Everybody’s into this Downtown Abbey on PBS. That’s cool. I grew up with “Masterpiece Theater” chiming in weekly. My folks were loyal viewers. It’s nice to click a link on twitter now and hear the theme song again. I’m taken back to my childhood where I was taught that enjoying English period piece dramas was normal.

Also, I would not like to return punts in the NFL. What a difficult job. Another difficult job would be “Kicker”. But I’d do that in a heartbeat. Billy Cundiff had a rough day to day. But as soon as he leaves that Ravens locker room, he gets to shine up his golf clubs and live a standard of life unimagined by %99.99 of the people that’ve ever walked the face of the planet.

I’m gonna work at Treasure Island Casino in Redwing MN this Thursday, and I’m already fantasizing about the buffet. I hope it snows a ton this week, because I’m fixin to wreck that buffet like a grizzley bear trying to put on an extra hundred pounds til spring.

The governor of Wisconsin is a real piece of shit. Get this, he got kicked out of college for cheating, never got a degree, and now he’s certain that his plan to balance the states budget is so precise that it’s worth stripping people of the ability to bargain on behave of their own careers and families. Accomplishless morons get a whole bunch of play in this country.

I’m grateful.

“Don’t steal my stuff”.

I still think Pam Oliver is fine as hell.

I’m still pissed about the Chiefs game

I’m really into professional football. I have a real team that I root for. Also, I play “fantasy football”. It’s a bit much. I spend hours a week reading articles about my team. My obsession is well past anything that I would find obnoxious or needy about someone else’s favorite hobby or pastime (Pahss-teem: origin: french. meaning: a vehicle for complaining).

So when my favorite team in professional football, has one of the best regular seasons of all time, I get into it. Quickly, with zero hesitation and the enthusiasm of a young boy that’s just discovered the concept of money. This year, the Green Bay Packers (the team of my home state, youth, family members and best friends) went 15-1 in the regular season, putting themselves in a good position to make it to a second consecutive Superbowl. Yesterday they played the first of two single-elimination games that they would have to win to make it to this Superbowl, and they lost.

I laid awake last night for a couple hours. Literally losing sleep over a sports game. Not only did I think about the game, but I shifted my disappointment to other areas of my life. Seriously I started to have terrible thoughts about myself and things that I’m working on. It was an all out psychotic episode, all brought on by the fact that I don’t get to spend 12 hours this week staring at articles about a 325 lb man’s hamstrings. I might actually have to focus on things that matter to me. Like a profession and relationships.

Which brings me to this article. One last gasp of football until I have to pack it in and hopefully watch somebody kick the banjo out of Eli Manning’s dumb slack-jawed robot hands so that I don’t have to watch fat Yankee fans enjoy another completely undeserved championship at the hands of a guy that they have no business rooting for. I’m so fucking mad I could write a blog post. This shit is unacceptable. If you don’t know, the Packers are super good. They won the Superbowl last year with back-up football players, but apparently this year, they forgot that they got their starters back, because yesterday was a goddam back-up tight end party. I’ve never seen that many back-up tight ends. Crabtree, Taylor, Brandon fucking Seine got on the damn field. Both our tailbacks are average and they both had double digit carries. What the fuck was that dogshit?? Your the goddamn Green Bay Packers put some fucking superstars on the field you just scored 500 points this fucking season!! Nope. Whatever. Fine.

I’ll enjoy this off-season. I’ll enjoy other teams getting better. I wont think at all about how hard it was to get home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, and how we completely shit the bed. I will sincerely enjoy the draft. I will also be grateful that all of our rivals are still terrible football teams. I’ll even enjoy having to put effort into reminding people that this “NFL”, is our league, and that their dogshit teams are just playing in it. That we started the fucking league and are the only publicly owned professional sports franchise in the entire world, that we have more championships than any team in the league by A LOT, and that for 3 weeks still, we remain Superbowl Champions.

So if you have something to say to me, via rude and spiteful text message, or offensive voicemail, or even in person face to bloody face, just remember that your team would have to win ten more championships before we could talk seriously about how much more of a waste of time your waste of time is. Jerk. Next year.

Ladies and Gentlemen…
