Pig Skin Grab-Bag


As the old year winds to a close and the dawn of a new year begins there are so many things one could take time to ponder. Me? I'll ponder the last vestiges of the 2007 season of the National Football League. From a fantasy perspective it's been another bad year. Well, not all bad. The Sports Donkey Lollipop Buffet pulled itself out of complete disaster and made a strong run for a play-off berth. Alas, we came up short. A condition that Q is all too familiar with. I'd like to thank all those that continued to believe in The Buffet and a giant "F-You" to Randy Moss for old times sake.



On the subject of the New England Patriots. It turns out those cheating bastards managed to do what no other team since 1972 has done. I tip my hat to those son's of bitches for not losing a single regular season game. It's funny you know. It's not everyday that you can watch history in the making. You would think that I might cheer on the Patriots, simply to be able to say to my grandchildren that I witnessed perfection at work in 2007. But for some reason I couldn't help but wish for failure upon them. I even stayed up to watch the Giants cough up a turd against them on Saturday night. Perhaps it is the fact that I'm a Colts fan, mind you, not a huge Colts fan but a fan none the less. Perhaps it was because they were caught cheating and I hate cheaters. More likely, it is the fact that Bill Belichick is a complete douche and everyone knows I hate a good douche! Anyway, I've still got three more games of hope to keep me going. That's the beauty of a perfect season. It isn't entirely perfect until you win the Super Bowl. So Go Cowboys!!!!!!!!



Finally, with the play-offs looming, one can't help but think about life without football once again. It happens every year and yet I am still caught unprepared for the long lonely months that lie ahead. The NFL does a decent job of giving you little morsels along the way, but it's really nothing more than a giant tease. The Draft? After round 1 who cares? The NFL pro-bowl? Please! It sucks. The Combine? That's really more for college football lovers and generic sports junkies. No, the best I can hope for is some great off-field antics by some misguided players. Take this last year for example... In some ways, I have Micheal Vick to thank for getting me back into the spirit of football earlier than usual. Don't get me wrong, There's a special place in hell reserved for that bastard, but I have to admit, it was nice to go into the Mr. Gatti's for lunch last summer and already see ESPN analysts talking about the future of the Atlanta Falcons. Good times... good times.



So I guess I'll leave you with these last nuggets of wisdom. Remember it is always better to give than to receive. Gyuss taught me that back in college. Auld Lang Syne is old Scottish for "Old Long Since," and Fuck Randy Moss!

i always used graveyards for something a bit less morbid. lol

Tera said...

I love this time of year...I just go to the Superbowl parties for the men and the food! :)

LMFAO @ the last picture!

Susan said...

I'm not allowed to curse at Randy Moss at all being from West Virginia and friends with many people who went to the same college as him.

..however, deep down inside a cursing is lurking.

Q said...

Randy Moss is the biggest mistake you have ever made CyberD. Check that the second biggest. Sorry about the rash.

Love,
Q

Cyber D said...

heather, graveyards are great for that. I get a hard-on just drivig by them.

tera, Mmmmmm Superbowl parties...

susan, curse away... even if it is under your breath.

Q, I'm told it will go away in 3-5 days. I bought some cream if you want to borry it.

NoRegrets said...

so, if you hate a good douche, then do you love a bad douche?

as for graveyards, well, some of my wedding photos are in a graveyard. i thought it was cool, but perhaps it was unlucky?

heather said...

not that!

well, maybe once or twice. lol

i meant drinking though originaly.

NoRegrets said...

Heather, you referring to the douche? It was in C's post! Ha - TMI from your end. :-)

Cyber D said...

Noreg, I'm not in favor of anyone who could be placed in the douche category... good or bad. And on the subject of your wedding photos.... ummmmm.... I guess I would have to be there to understand but.... that's weird!

heather, oh! That's not what you meant? (Hangs head in shame) Ummmm... that's not what I meant either. I was talking about drinking, yeah that's right!

Q said...

CyberD, do you remember when you took me to that cemetery with the "glowing tombstone" when I was in college? You told me that I had to pull down my pants to prove to the ghouls and ghosts that I was no threat and then you slid the shackles on and proceeded to...Good times.

Cyber D said...

Q, those were the best of times...

Nate said...

Randy Moss is gonna look awesome on my new tv

Cyber D said...

Not after I come over and blow a cannon ball sized hole in the flat-screen!

Nate said...

is that porn talk?

Cyber D said...

Only if you want it to be... you dirty bastard!

Steph said...

Ohh that black guy is HOT.

Cyber D said...

That, my dear sweet stephanie, is Micheal Vick the Dog Killer out of Atlanta, Georgia. He's a real son of a bitch. Pardon the pun...

Dagromm said...

Yeah, but he's hot.
