Favre, Obama, Saban and LSU.....

Ok it's been awhile since I last ranted so this blog is going to jump all over the place on sooooooo many different topics that have been rattling around in my head, so just bare with it and giggle as you need.

After the Monday Night Football game of the Minnesota Vikings vs Green Bay Packers I was discussing the highlights and Bret's win a friend of mine... She was a "Favre Hater". She felt he did a wrong to our state and to the sport by retiring, coming back, retiring and coming back blah blah blah..
I explained to her that I too was not real happy with this; at first. Then I explained.  Bret did retire due to the concern of his shoulder. I believe he was serious this time. Yet, as he lie there with a bum shoulder fresh out of surgery; the Vikings offer him 25 million bucks to come play!! Favre did the right thing and told them he wasn't comfy doing that with a shoulder and wasn't sure if he could play to the level he needed to earn that and do the team justice.  After many negotiations, they come up with a deal that allowed either side to walk away no feelings hurt if either of them felt he wasn't up to it. So why the hell not make a guaranteed 6 million even if you are hurt, but if you can do it, then you get 25 million?? I mean really?? Not much I wouldn't do even in pain for 12 million the first year and 13 million the next. And let's be honest, he looked phenomenal on Monday Night Football!!!

Now this past Wednesday this speech came back to haunt me from someone I did not know,who never heard me say these words. 
While working the Cross Canadian Ragweed show we were outside waiting on a Taxi for a customer and started talking LSU Football and the topic of Alabama comes up.
I commented about my disdain for Nick Saban...
The customer reminds me that Saban is great coach. I can't knock that. He did go to the pros and honestly, he bombed. Bombed terribly in pro football.. So here comes lil ole Alabama offering four million a year.. So why not take it??!
Crap.... I would take it too.. SHIT SHIT SHIT....
So I eat my words.. Saban is a great coach, but I still am not an Alabama fan.. I'm still die hard LSU...

LSU... wow... what can I say.. It's better to be lucky than good. For most of this season my poor tigers have been unable to effectively come together on offense. Defense is PHENOMENAL with some of what they do and as if Chad Jones didn't shine enough on the Baseball Diamond he is all over the field making critical plays when we desperately need it. Somehow LSU walks into tonight's game with a 5-0 record facing the number one team in the nation; the Florida Gators...
I expected a total ass whooping. The tigers defense did a wonderful job once again, and the offense had moments of wonder shot down by typical immature miscues and stupid STUPID penalties.
The tigers lost tonight and they deserved to lose, and if they do not figure out something soon, Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn and Tennessee will have a field day with them....

Now Obama...
Not much I can say. I am baffled... I go to sleep one night and wake the next day to Obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize and the Moon being bombed!!!
WTF!!! He got a Nobel Peace Prize for his "tone" the things he may be able to do.  The committee all but said it was given to help encourage him since he faces so many obstacles in his near future.
Since when does the nobel committee give prizes as motivation? Ghandi never got a prize but in nine months of being in office Obama does? Really?
The whole fucking planet has lost their mind!!!
In the 70's it was an Ice Age we faced; 90's it was global warming; now its FUCKING PLANETARY INSANITY!!!
This is crazy.. Everyone been yelling about the racism we have in this country. That a good amount of people didn't want to vote for him because he was black.  I wish I could argue that wasn't true, but in reality we still face a ton of racism in this world and especially this state; but, you don't make up for it by creating a "reverse racism" issue. It is clear that many decisions are being made and good things being given because he is the first black president facing many obstacles...
How about we look at what he has or hasn't done since he was in office? How he is now proposing jail time for those that do not go ahead with the healthcare plan (if it's passed). How he doesn't even bother to contact his own general in wartime but twice in 75 days.. How he has spent more time on television running propaganda campaigns that the taxpayers have to pay for and creating fictitious stimulus packages that have done nothing to stimulate anything except his ego.
Stay the hell in the white house until your ass fixes the mess we have now... Stay off television, stay off the talk shows, do your damn job!!
For the media, stop talking about all the obstacles and blaming everyone else for his fuck ups and start talking straight with him... The more you all stroke his ego we will continue this downward spiral.
Help the businesses stay in business, create real jobs, get this shit back on track.

Ok, nnite..
