Falcons win, Dogs win and Fox is playing human ‘Frogger’
Hello, and welcome back to the world of football, or as Tucker Carlson likes to call it, “Nothing But A League of Thugs and Degenerates and Serial Killers Who Should All Should All Be Thrown Into a Vat Of Face-Melting Acid, Like When Jack Napier Turned Into The Joker On Batman. Except For The Short White Kickers, I Like Those Guys.”
If you missed it, Carlson — fighting for relevancy in the growing mutant world of psychotic political commentators — called for the execution of Michael Vick this week for crimes against past Labradors, never mind the 23 months he already spent in prison and the loss of 27 gazillion dollars. I think it pretty much confirms Vick is not on Carlson’s Fantasy League team.
Personally, I believe Carlson should be sentenced to one game of human “Frogger.” That’s the other unbelievably true story this week: a Clemson man (not Dabo Swinney) thought it would be
For final NFC South standings, start in upper-left and go clockwise.
fun to mimic the video game “Frogger” and try to run across a busy highway without getting tenderized. Seriously, this guy actually yelled, “Go!” and then took off.
It was a short game. He got smacked by an SUV. Somehow, he lived. Obviously he didn’t suffer any brain damage since he already was at base level.
I’m thinking John Fox feels like the frog about now. The Carolina coach knows he’s toast after losing to the Falcons on Sunday. Asked about speculation on his firing, he said: “This is not new news. It’s a finishing. It’s kind of been knowledgeable for a couple years.” Nice to have a two-year warning. Most are lucky to get two weeks.
This week, the Falcons face Fox’s Panthers, who are one bad quarterback short of qualifying for aid from FEMA. The Falcons are trying to close out the NFC South Division title and home field through the playoffs. If they can’t beat this bunch, they should be forced to watch Tucker Carlson diatribes on an endless loop. (OK, maybe not. That would violate the Geneva Convention.)
The line is 14 points. That’s a lot. But there’s pent up anger from the loss to New Orleans. I say: Go! Falcons win and cover.
Here’s John Fox’s video resume the last two years
And just because it’s even more unbelievable the second time, Carlson on Vick
Bowl Parade (Chronologically but Illogically)
(Repeating Liberty and Chick-fil-A picks from a week ago because I had my days off, or maybe my brain.)
The Caleb King: The legend, the myth.
Liberty: Georgia-Central Florida: The Dogs will be without Caleb King, who is academically ineligible, which is a change from him being arrested or suspended or injured (or thinking he’s injured). Dude: When does the light bulb go on? Enjoy four quarters of A.J. Green. Then say goodbye. His jersey hits eBay at about 7 p.m. Friday. Dogs cover 6 ½.
Chick-fil-A: South Carolina-Florida State: Steve Spurrier accepted this bowl bid only after assurances that Cam Newton wouldn’t be in the Dome again. He won’t, but Cecil Newton will be in the parking lot selling Cam’s old shoes. Roosters cover 3.
Outback: Florida-Penn State: I’m less amazed that Joe Paterno, at the age of 84, can still coach 18-year-olds than I am that Hugh Hefner, at the age of 84, can coach 24-year-olds. Say hello to the new Mrs. Hefner: Crystal Harris, Miss December 2009, 34D-25-35-56 (breasts-waist-hips-IQ). Does Paterno take blue pills, too. And speaking of pills, this is Urban Meyer’s last game. Gators win but take Penn State and 7 ½.
Capital One: Alabama-Michigan State: Nick Saban goes from having the best team in the country to the second best team in the state, although I might be shortchanging Troy (which had a better conference record). Tide covers 10.
Hugh surprised Crystal with a ring and 34Ds.
Gator: Mississippi State-Michigan: Dan Mullen leads Mississippi State to the school’s 15th bowl game in 116 years. That should make a dandy final entry on the resume. By the way, how are housing prices in Athens? Other Dogs cover 5.
Orange: Stanford-Virginia Tech: Frank Beamer just won the inaugural Joe Paterno Coach Of The Year Award because there’s no rule prohibiting the winner from losing to James Madison. Take the 3½ but VaTech wins this straight up.
Sugar: Ohio State-Arkansas: Sugar Bowl CEO Paul Hoolahan admits he asked Ohio State not to suspend six players for the bowl game for selling memorabilia because he wanted to “preserve the integrity” of the game.” Integrity? Somebody get that man a dictionary. Take the 3 ½ and Piggies win straight up.
BCS Mondo Enchilada Bowl: Auburn-Oregon: Have you ever seen an Arena League game? Yeah, me neither. But it’ll be kinda like that. The first team to punt loses. And Cam Newton isn’t losing to anybody, let alone to a team called the Ducks. Looking at something like 42-37. Tigers win it all (and cover 3).
NFL Snack Pack
Cowboys at Eagles: Michael Vick lost to Minnesota, which is Latin for, “Take the MVP, Tom Brady, it’s yours.” Eagles cover 6 ½.
Vikings at Lions: If Brett Favre thinks a $50,000 fine for sexting pictures of “Little Brett” to Jenn Sterger is steep, just wait until he gets the bill from his (ex-)wife, Deanna. Detroit covers 3.
Giants at Redskins: Tom Coughlin had his car towed this week after he parked in Bill Cowher’s space. Giants win, but take Washington and 4.

The Toteboard

Bottom line (not dreadful): 134-50 straight up, 96-85-3 against the line.

BROCCOLI’S INFERNO
Broccoli Obama died and went up to the pearly gates. Saint Peter said, Broc, we’re not quite sure, there’s a lot a paperwork left to do, you know things have gotten real bureaucratic lately, so you will have to wait for processing. You know, we used to just take those that obviously couldn’t make it and send them directly below. Now, we have to treat everyone, and things have really gotten backed up.
Please just take a seat and wait. We do have eternity as a deadline, no pun intended. So just make yourself comfortable.
Broccoli sat there for what seemed like an eternity (what did HE know?) Finally, he became so impatient that he bellowed out in his falsetto baritone voice, “Saint Peter, Saint Peter, let me make this clear; I don’t want to just sit here, the thrust of MY administration will demand action. There has to be something that can be done, and done now. We can stimulate this situation if we spend more, and then again maybe, even more money.” Saint Peter, unimpressed, said “Mr. Obama, money means nothing here, but your obstinance DOES mean something. We have a new plan; we think it is pretty “progressive.” If you want to, we can preview you for the “Underworld,” and, in the event that is your ultimate destination, you can be pre-screened and fast-tracked. This will increase efficiency and, ultimately, make an “end-of-eternity” decision more, ah, how can we say, ugh, more ”Stately.”
Broc said, “So it is said, let it be done.” (They even had teleprompters in the waiting room for the pearly gates. The President of the United States can spend a lot for anything! And believe it, he will.) Saint Peter told Mr. Obama that he would be departing for “below” as soon as “Minion of Satan-One” arrived, which should be soon. Within a while, which is indeterminable in the ”after-life,” a sleek but ominous looking craft arrived. It was red with black trim and a large “MS-1”
with flame piping emblazoned across the side.
Broc entered upon the urging of an attendant that seemed familiar to him. She said her name was Wookie. She was “exotic” in her own way, but Broc thought “she could handle herself in a bar fight, if necessary.” The craft took off and Broc seemed to be the lone passenger. Wookie gave him a lot of attention; brought shrimp, drinks and cigarettes. They were getting friendlier and she further offered some “weed” and some “blow.” Broc said it had been a while since doing those, but he would think about it. As the “flight” continued, and since they were basically the only ones aboard, they got more intimate and somewhat tipsy. She said, “Just call me Chewy. I want you to know that I have never before been more proud of my attendant position than I am now.” Finally, after joining the “mile-below club,” the craft was arriving at its destination.
They disembarked onto an underground tarmac with stalactites and stalagmites all around. Smoke emanated from all around and smelled of sulfur. Broc thought, “it smells like the prior administration. Bush must have been right here, right on this very spot.” Then an odd and ominous figure came forward. He was balding and wore a dark suit and spoke in a quiet but forceful voice. He said his name was Beelzebub, but most folks just called him “Dick.” Broc was taken aback, and for the first time in a long time he was somewhat frightened. He thought, Chicago-style antics wouldn’t work well here, and for the first time he was somewhat humbled. “Dick” approached him to present a presidential wreath, and extended a laurel and hearty hand-shake. Broc shook hands and, for the first time in his life, was speechless. A minion up on a rocky spire shouted, “The president is here, the president is here, but he’s a ‘BUZZZZZ”……….and as a buzzer went off Broc couldn’t quite hear the end of what he was trying to say.
Dick put his arm around his shoulder and said, “Let me show you around.” As he guided Broc forward, he started to explain that here, in the “Underworld,” there were certain “accommodations” for the various “situations” that individuals would be, shall we say, appropriately placed based on their…………..”transgressions.”
As they went forward, Dick explained that the Underworld could not accommodate all transgressions, so four (4), ugh, “outstanding” ones would be determined by the administrators and appropriate treatments would be diagnosed. Beelzebub, or Dick, went on to explain that the underworld was sort of a Democratic Republic. The government would give you choices and you could choose one, but you would have to live with that, and the relative circumstances, for eternity.
“Now, Mr. Obama, let’s look at your ‘transgressions.’ We found that we could summarize our choice of four into a sort of related portfolio. It seems that your attempt at fascist styled take-over’s of major business in America were your main sins. We will now look at these, one by one, state them and correlate each to its respective ‘treatment.”
“Now, as we walk down this corridor, we come to the first room. The transgression here was your attempt to take-over the banking system. Please, step up and look inside. Broc was horrified as he saw people, a whole lot of people, strung-up by their wrists and being flogged, unmercifully. Broc asked Dick if this was without end, and Dick looked at him, sneered, raised one eye-brow and said, “but of course, this is for eternity.” Broc was almost faint and asked if this tour could just end now. “Well now, Broc” Dick said, “if we stop now, this will be your ‘treatment.’ If you are assigned to the Underworld, I would think you would want your choices.” Broc agreed and they went forward.
The second room, as Dick explained was in regards to Broccoli’s take-over of the auto industry. One should see the USA, in a Chevrolet, but not because the government thought it knew how to run a car company. Dick said the industry needed to run itself without government take-over. Broc looked into the large ‘room,’ which was really an expansive cavern. It was the traditional image of Hades, with fire lapping up all over and people being burned all over. They were running around, screaming and could not escape. Broc asked, again, is this without end? Dick, again, sneered with one raised eye-brow and said, “Of course there is no end, and this is for eternity.” Broc felt like throwing up, but knew he had to continue.
The third room, or cavern, or giant pit, or whatever one would call it was now presented. Dick explained that this was for Mr. Obama’s take-over of the Financial System. Beelzebub explained that there would be far-reaching unknown travails based on the rushed bureaucratic and amateur revisions.
Broc looked in and wasn’t sure at first what he was seeing, As he focused, he could see what looked like various medical procedures being performed. There were dirty operating tables with people having limbs removed without anesthesia and dental chairs with people being drilled, again without anesthesia. Many more unspeakable tortures were being performed and, again it was absolutely horrible. Broc stepped away and barely could stand or walk, but knew he had to at least know the final level.
Broccoli came to the fourth room and looked in before Dick could say anything. Broc saw people standing in the foulest mixture of total “yuk” imaginable. Feces, urine, vomit, blood, puss, and whatever other grossness one could possibly not want to encounter. These people where standing there chest-high in this vile, horrible substance. However, they were seemingly not too distressed as they were drinking tea and listening to pleasant music. Broc backed away and, again was nauseous because the stench was beyond bearable. As they walked away, Broc thought, if it comes to it, this would be the least of the horrors. He looked at Dick and said, “You didn’t tell me what the transgression was for this forth room.” Beelzebub said “It’s for imposing a 2,400 page Healthcare bill on people that is extremely onerous. Almost three quarters of the citizenry don’t want it. A lot of it is unconstitutional and it will ultimately bankrupt the country.” Broc lowered his head and said ”I know. I am so guilty in all these areas because in the long run I was trying to nihilistically take down the whole country so I could rebuild it in MY image. It might have worked if I had not died.”
Dick, again, put his arm on his shoulder and led him down the hall towards the tarmac as Broc was supposed to now go back to the Pearly Gates for final determination and assessment. Dick said, “Now hang on, we don’t know yet if……..” Just then Dick’s cell phone rings and he answers. “Yes? Oh yes, we have. Um huh. Um huh. Yes. O.K.” He pauses and listens for a minute. “Yes, I understand, O.K.” He turns to Broc and says there has been a change of plans.
Instead of going back to the Pearly Gates for determination, they have instructed me to inform you that you have been assigned to the Underworld, and your ‘treatment’ is to begin immediately, without hesitation.
So Dick takes Broc aside and says, “I’m sorry, but you have to decide now which of the four.” Broccoli roles his eyes and says “I can’t believe this. If I have to choose, I guess, of course it will be number four.” Broc is led to the door of room four and is unceremoniously pushed in.
He is standing there and is given a cup of tea to drink while pleasant music is playing. The stench is horrible, but he figures he will get used to it before half an eternity goes by. So he is standing there, enveloped in the stench and trying to make the most of it. Suddenly, a high volume loud speaker blurts out:
“TEA BREAK OVER, BACK ON YOUR HEADS.”
Broccoli looks up and yells as loud as he can, “I’m in here just because I pushed a health-care bill and when you showed me this room there was nothing about standing on one’s head”
Beelzebub’s voice came booming over the speaker and said,
“BUT YOU DIDN’T READ THE BILL!”

Know how much junk is in this bill? Of course not because no one can get through the 2,801 pages. It is such bureaucratic government speak that there are parts that NO ONE could understand. NO ONE !
Have you seen the flow-chart? A person would absolutely go insane trying to follow it. As you go through the bill, it will refer you to other bills, other documents and other references in order to get the “law.” Don’t forget, it is a Bill, it is now LAW. This nebulous over-reaching confusing junk is no way to issue law.
IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL TO REQUIRE CITIZENS TO PURCHASE INSURANCE. But I forget, the Constitution means nothing to liberals.
Yes, there are problems with the current situation with insurance companies. I fought these issues for thirty years as a corporate controller. But the issues should be addressed individually and thoughtfully. Not through some sweeping measure dictated my a bunch of unknown bureaucrats. The politicians did not write this. Little pin-heads in the back-room wrote this. This is no way to govern. The politicians didn’t even read it. Anyone that says they did is lying because it is unreadable.
This “thing” that has been shoved down our throat will end up being a Pandora’s box. Maybe the lid could be closed before all the evil is let out.

It did not work when they let BC/BS go private and gave them a monopoly by denying national portability back in 1970… The insurance portability clause that they put forth is as weak as Credit card reform because the free market will always look for a sub floor for services provided… That is why South Dakota is the banking center of the credit card business… They went for the profits and not to serve the consumer… Health insurance would be the same… Good luck with that…
