Are you Shocked?… You didn’t get a ride on the Love Boat?

Yet another story to hit the air waves that has apparently shocked middle America, but really? Is the Viking Boat Party really that surprising? The majority of the people that would read this post are probably men and asking you, given the opportunity…. Having millions of Benjamins around, single (or not), have a world renowned-super star job and ladies throwing themselves at your locker number, you probably wouldn’t want to charter a couple yachts, flow some Crystal, buds, whores, tunes and go full board at the lake like it was Havasu on spring break.

I’m sure there’s some disappointment from the fans, owners and even other team members (that they don’t get an opportunity to partake) but next week, people will still tune into the game and the show will go on…. unless there’s constant updates, we’ll forget about it like the T.O. opening with Desperate Housewives last year

So who wants to know if there was a video camera on board? If there was, you all will be downloading the vids when they surface in a few months and file em next to the Pam A. boat trip, or the One Night in Paris excursion…

One thing you can say about the Vikings is they certainly know how to party even if they are one of the worst teams in the league.

Gainesville, a drinking town with a football problem

I think that college T-shirt I read in the Grog house sums up my weekend in Gainesville, FL. I went down with a couple alumni for the homecoming game against Miss. State. The flight down on JetBlue left much to be desired. I now realized that Orlando is the place for family vacations and thats about it…

This was a long weekend. Florida won the game and we boozed it up for the weekend. I’ll finish this post with some pics from the trip:

Orlando Airport cocktail waiter, complete with soul-glow curly mullet and highway patrol officer stash – welcome to the dirty south!

The locals get out the gear – complete with Gator branded shoes, socks, watch and gator wallet. Rockin the Orange and Blue baby!

I’ve added a few photos but this was a fund time out to Gator land with these former UF grads.

And they won!

Week 2 NFL and there’s some kinks in the armor

This many not be known but of all the pro sports out there, I’m leading with the NFL as my premier sports watching past-time… I love the NFL for the action, the pain, the pressure and the gain. The NBA comes in 2nd, but that’s a discussion to come up when their season starts up. Additionally I’ve been a Raiders fans since I can remember football, the best inspiring moment (and last at that) was their win in SuperBowl XVIII – Black Sunday in 1984….

Tonight is a double header Monday night football, and although I’ll miss most of the first game: The New Orleans Saints “at home” in the Meadow Lands of New Jersey against the NY Giants, I’ll catch some of the ‘Skins and Cowboys tonight at 9 PM ET. So far though this week, we’ve seen some surprises.

The Pats! :: being a Raider fan, I’m loving this. Brady just couldn’t get it together and possibly had the worst game of his career at NE. He even said it him self “‘We sucked today,’ ” Brady said of the team’s post game locker-room talk”. There are chinks in the armor here and the doors are now opening for contenders for the East title. Lets hope it motivates someone (other than the Colts) to make this years playoffs exciting.

McNabb – T.O. :: I won’t get into this drama, but it seems they have no trouble working together on the field. McNabb may have the best performance of the NFL all year with his 5 TDs (record tying for himself) and 342 YDs on Sunday. Brutally destroying my friends in San Francisco. SF’s hopes of doing better than last year may be forever lost. Phili still shows they have it but we’ll see when they play some tougher D’s, however, that may not happen until later on in the season.

Minnesota :: Randy Moss is thanking his stars that he’s out of this mess. Culpepper can’t get any worse from here so there has to be some upside moving forward, but their RB situation is pathetic as well… Those of you who picked DC in the first round are kicking themselves right now.

Where’d they come from? – Willie Parker (Pit, RB), L.J. Smith (Phi, TE), Trent Dilfer (Clev, QB), and Antwaan Randle El (Pit, WR) and coming up with big numbers this week. Who would have thought this 4 weeks ago?

Starting to shine – Randy Moss (Oak, WB), Stephen Davis (Car, RB), Carnell Williams (TB, RB) Antonio Gates (SD, TE), and Hines Ward (Pit, WR)

Its still early but I hear the rumor mill running now. Predictions are already starting to float to Carolina… We’ll see, there’s a lot of football left to go.

Regarding Fantasy Football: I still can never get a good draft card, and was selecting 3rd to last this year on a 12 man league draft, however, I ended up with a few good players but am really lacking in the RB department these days. My team consists of:

K. Collins (Oak, QB)
D. McNabb (Phi, QB)
D. Mason (Bal, WB)
L. Coles (NYJ, WB)
B. Stokley (Ind, WB)
J. Lewis (Bal, RB)
T. Jones (Chi, RB)
T. Bell (Den, RB)
A. Randel El (Pit, WB)
T. Heap (Bal, TE)
C. Cooley (Was, TE)
M. Baker (Phi, TE)
S. Janikowski (Oak, K)
and some D guys…

Week 1 was a bomb for me, Week 2 I’m on top… so I still see my chances at the middle of the pack, but will need to do some shuffling to get on top. Watch out IRON COCK!
