Direct TV to Offer NFL Network

Sunday, June 14th, 2009 | Sports with Comments Off

Nfl_logoI dearly love my football and this announcement excites me but also bums me out because I have too many trees in my backyard and behind my property to even get Direct TV. I have had a rep out here and he said that it would be horrible if I got it. My current cable system does not offer it anymore because they said that it was too expensive. The only other option for cable does not offer it either. I’m pretty much screwed in that department and have to go to the bar to get any of the good games that are on Sunday and Thursday.

My boss has the NFL Sunday Ticket as well as the NFL Network and I’m jealous. He also has a humongous flat screen panel so that when he splits the screen into 2 or even 4 to watch a few games at the same time he can actually see what is going on in them all and can move any one of them to the front when something exciting happens. I mean where’s the love for the people who can’t get any of these options? I guess I should get some satisfaction in that the Eagles are at least going to be playing the Falcons this year twice, once in the pregames and once in regular season even though they have never done that before and I could go to any of those games in person which I have never done before but getting the money together at this point in time is sort of tough. I really want to go to the one game in December if I can find some affordable enough tickets. One of my friends from the gym already has box seats for that game in December as he is an Eagles fan too and I’m so jealous.

Reality TV

most assuredly can bite you in the ass and hopefully we will get that chance soon with VH1 getting ready to do a reality show on T.O. from the Dallas Cowboys. If all goes well and they start filming this summer we might get a shot of him getting canned from the Cowboys which I’ll bet will happen.

You got to be careful what you wish for sometimes in these things.

A Week Late But…

eagle Check that out lol Granted we all know what happened in the game but I thought this was fricken hilarious when one of my friends sent it to me last night. I had to blow it up but normally it is a 125 x 125 size I’d guess.

Effin Cold

So we had snow flurries yesterday. Ya, you heard me right, I’m in the south and we had fricken snow flurries. Granted it lasted only about 10 minutes but that is besides the point. I mean it is not supposed to make it all the way down here. Today is just as cold if not colder than yesterday but no snow flurries reported to be seen that we can expect. I was getting pictures and texts from all sorts of people around the state about the snow.

Eagles lost this past weekend, I mean really, really?? They got beat by the Cardinals? Really?? At least the Steelers won and I think they will beat the Cardinals. Someone has to now. I gotta say though Fox had some good graphics with the cardinal and an eagle going head to head before they kept going back to the game.

NFL Round-up Week #3

Monday, September 22nd, 2008 | Sports with Comments Off

So I haven’t really talked about any of the football weeks so far this season. Well now that time is sort of over because I can’t guarantee that I will do this again lol I had to post about this though because McNabb has actually proven his worth so far this season and I may even, dare I say it, see him through to the end of the season than what I had previously predicted of about 10 weeks and he’d be finished. He has been showing he can still move around like in week #2 and last week after that chest injury yesterday afternoon he still came back out in the 3rd quarter to finish the game. Now Westbrook, on the other hand, I hope does not have anything serious with his ankle. I gotta say though it was sweet watching them beat up on the Steelers. We should have won against Dallas in week #2 but it was just not meant to be. I actually fell asleep the last 5 minutes of that game. I feel so ashamed :/

Anyway, some more upsets which I can’t really fathom are that Miami beat the crap out of New England and Jacksonville beat Indianapolis. Who’d have thunk it?

Track & Field

I think I have almost lost complete faith in the US doing any of the track and field after watching last nights fiasco’s. I mean, it wasn’t even just us that had these disqualifications either because there were quite a few teams that could not get the baton passed to their final players. I really feel back for Tyson Gay because he was not able to be in all the races he could have been in due to the hamstring incident in the trials and that was one of the few chances he had to get a gold but that got blown away. They practice this for years and they still can’t get it right?

Thank gawd all the diving is over with because I was getting nauseated watching it over and over again. We stunk, I’ll get over it.
