Please notice how much I know about football

I thought it we would be fun to look back at my preseason playoff predictions so everyone can see how smart I am … except for the Lions.
My present corrections are in parenthesis.

New Orleans’ City Park on the rebound

Funny story about City Park: Thomas and I used to play golf there all the time. During one round, the cutest drink girl I’ve ever seen—short black hair, freckles, blue eyes—was working the course. We had got a couple drinks from her earlier in the round and I was totally smitten with her.

Well, we came down the home stretch and here came the drink girl in her cart. She was about 150 yards in front of us on the complete opposite side of the fairway from where my ball was. I looked at Thomas and said, “no way I’ll hit her right.”

The drink girl was serving a customer and had the lid of the ice chest on the back of her cart up. I took a mighty whack with my 3-wood and hit a dead pull. Anyone that plays golf knows that a pull is the most unintentional solid shot you can hit. The ball heads on a line directly toward the drink cart.

“FORE! FORE,” we yelled. The drink girl and customer scramble for their lives. The ball hits the lid of the ice chest and falls into the ice. I was so embarrassed.

Here’s an article about City Park’s revival.

Saints on TV

Once again, the Saints are going to be on the TV here in Atlanta. This is about the fourth time this season. I think we got on the air once last year, in that home game we played in the Meadowlands. This is great for me, but I’m starting to miss eating wings and watching the Buffalo games at the bar.

However, the fact that I don’t have to argue with that jerk of a manager up at the bar to get the Saints on a TV makes up for not being able to see Brian, Kris, and Wes cry every Sunday.

Go Bills.

This post is mainly to point out how cool this site is: http://www.gribblenation.net/nflmaps/.

Fumble

I know that the Saints are regular readers of elbuzzard, so here goes. We wasted another great performance by Drew Brees and Marques Colston yesterday with all the stupid fumbling and dropped passes. Terrance Copper had a real nice fumble as we were driving to tie the game at the end of the fourth.

Home Decorating for Young Couples

On Thursday I tried to put out two of my knick-knacks in our new apartment. The two pieces (which I am pretty sure are a set) were a Ricky Jackson action figure, and a Jack-a-lope bank. (A jackalope is the product of a jackrabbit and an antelope having sex. It looks like a jackrabbit with horns). Here is a picture.

Also, here is a painting of Ricky Jackson

These two additions to our dining room lasted until Saturday, when my wifeypoo took them down, and hid them from me. Now she wont tell me where they are, and I’m pretty sure that’s why the Saints lost yesterday. How can they be expected to win when my personal totem is in a drawer or box or something?

Also I was watching a hunting show on Sunday morning and they killed a bunch of deer, which I assume has something to do with the missing Jackalope. Darn it.

Please help convince my wife that these two items have a significant value in the overall consmos, as well as tying our dining room together. My other option is to take back all her birthday presents.
