Orange and Blue forever!

Well, ye socks, I guess I just became a Denver Broncos fan. At least they have the right team colors . . .

Still can't figure out why the Jacksonville Jaguars passed on drafting Tim Tebow. Instead, they used their 10th pick on Tyson Alualu out of California. Yeah, that's going to pack the stands . . .

I was half hoping #15 would end up in Minnesota, learning from Brett Favre and reconnecting with Percy Harvin. But, it became fairly obvious where he was going when the Tebow family was sporting Broncos hats well in advance of the team's 25th pick in the first round last night.

Somewhat ironically, Superman has the opportunity to show the Jags the error of their ways during his first game with the Broncos.

That's right, ye socks. Mark the calendar. Septhember 12th the Broncos will be playing the Jags in Jacksonville. Should be a good one.

Orange and Blue!

Matching resolutions to the resolved . . .

The most annoying thing about this time of year is the resolutions we socks are expected to come up with.

I mean, just about everybody picks one from the big "top ten" list below. To spice things up a bit, I thought I'd suggest someone we all know who should pick each one for 2009.

In the order of popularity of the resolution:

1. Spend more time with friends and family - okay, I'll take this one for myself. Is that cheating? It's the only fun one on the list . . .

2. Get back in shape - After last night: Brett Favre.

3. Lose weight - Phil Fulmer (perennial favorite)

4. Stop smoking - The Disaster in Waiting.

5. Enjoy life more - Hillary Clinton. Lose the sour puss. Do some traveling. Meet new people.

6. Stop drinking - Chyna (the wrestler, not the country).

7. Get out of debt - Just about everybody.

8. Learn something new - Congress. "Bailout" shouldn't be the answer to everything.

9. Volunteer to help others or make charitable contribution(s) - Liberals. See this article for explanation/justification: http://www.twincities.com/ci_11290969?source=most_emailed

10. Get organized - Conservatives. We need to take back our party, and we need to do it quickly.

It's pronounced "Fay-ver"

Is it just me, or are some of you socks out there suffering from a major case of football withrdrawals?

It didn't help me at all when I saw this article about that QB up at Green Bay:

Arena ball ain't cuttin' it with me.

It's more than the hot summer temperatures that have me longing for the fall . . .
