Scattelogical ramblings and desultory humor XVII

No, I agree with Debi - if they're on TV ten to one they know they're on TV and can take appropriate countermeasures, ie false eyelashes, push-up bras, whatever's necessary. If they're actually there in person, such countermeasures are likely to be unsuccessful.

Yep, Dave, the Giants seem to be getting their act together and Eli is starting to play more like his big brother. But I don't see either Manning getting past the Pats!

Nyah-nah-nah-Nyah-nah!

This is interesting reading!! Eleanor

How long since you've stopped in, Eleanor?

I stop in once in a while but haven't posted - can't figure out what's going on but I guess I'm not supposed to make sense of it. Eleanor

Well the Pats are DOOMED if I start rooting for them - so what's it worth to you Patriot fans to have me root for some other team????

A fun time for New England sports-nuts that is for sure, except that they wrecked basketball. We invented it and the rest of the country killed it, can't stand to watch anymore. Three point shots, rim hanging (used to be goal tending), traveling every time they dribble (used to be palming the ball), crummy jump shots from most and no body can really dribble a ball any more. All flash and dash and no artistic athletic discipline required. Just my opinion of course, old and set in my ways I guess. I also hate the DH in baseball but it doesn't totally wreck the game. More good skate control and less glove dropping would make hockey tolerable again too. Congrates to the Red Sox (now I can get some sleep) and go get 'em Pats!

I used to watch NASCAR but not now. It has gotten so commercialized it's not fun to watch. Not like the good old days - the guys must go to school just to learn how to talk. So Seandor root for every team but the Pats.

Good points ngam. Don't forget greed, drugs, cheating, selfishness, etc. Try to bring a family to a game. The cost is on par with a Broadway show!

There are a few 'good ole boys' left in NASCAR. Since the 'sport' has gotten so expensive, we kinda need all those commercial things to pay for the sponsorships.

I miss the old days, sometimes, but I really like the innovations that have been brought to the sport in the past ten years or so. Those innovations have made our highways a lot safer, too.

Could Johnson or Gordon win any more races???? I can't stand the C.O.T. and the coverage on ESPN/ABC.............. B O R I N G!!!I am so disappointed in NASCAR.

Well, the C.O.T. will be the car of next season, so I hope they get all the bugs worked out before February. And, I really like how FOX covers a race.

Now, back to the ramblings ...

I don't understand..... I must be in the right place.

Boogity, boogity, boogity!!!!!!

Now that, I understand!

Okay - so one vote for me to root for any team EXCEPT the Patriots. I think there is a team called the Steelers - should I root for them?

Root beer, or sarsaparilla, just not cream soda.

not if it makes them lose (for my DH)

I once dated a gy who was a Green Bay fan - you could cheer for them!

My C.O.T. is the one I have today ;)

Green Bay has lots of fans, Arizona is paying pretty good for supporters.

Maybe NASCAR will race in England, of course they would have to make right turns only there.

Why not? They already race in Mexico and Canada.

And maybe Japan, would make aToyota real happy.

Meant to say "toyota" not "a toyota"

Feel old to remember when Toyata and Datsun first came on the market here.

I had a Datsun pickup truck! The shocks were so bad I went back to wearing a b-- - well - um - turning beet colored - you know.

HEE HEE!!!!

Zero to rust in 60 days too.

A C.O.T.??
Back to wearing a b...
NOW i'm getting cofused.

By the way sports fans...NASCAR is not a sport. It may be difficult and challenging but it's still operating machinery. It's demanding to be a crane operator too!

ngam, if you long to watch basketball played the right way, watch the women's game. Particularly Uconn Women. John Wooden is a fan of how they play. Te majority of them are on the Dean's list, they don't get arrested, and they stay 4 years and graduate.

Don't feel bad Dave, I'm right there with you in the dark. Oooh, Dave, that tickles!!!!

x, C

Too much!

Too much what, Davie-poo?

(batting eye-lashes)

I'm in the dark too. I just can't, as hard as I try, think of car racing as a sport. I tolerate horse racing because it's only 2 minutes at best and it takes extreme athletes to complete the course...human and equine. Of course there is golf...................................... : ~)

Read between the lines, people. The only real athletes left are women!

Left handed women! - that sounds scary. I'll remember that for my Halloween costume next year.

For my DH's 50th birthday I took him to the Michigan Speedway and he drove a formula 3 car. Probably not a sport, but he said it was tough to do.

Wish my wife wasn't afraid of Formula 409.

Are you afraid of it too Al?

Carrie, lol, I think you're getting a bit carried away. You should see my coach. He's all athlete and NOT a woman....ooh la la..he's so hot he sizzles..........ssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I was using Spic and Span until the PC age came about.
