Super Bowl (or how will we live without football for months on end?)

The Super Bowl is over.

Sigh.

I'm a sports junkie. Whether it be football, baseball (GoTigers!), hockey (I go to Red Wings games alot), or basketball, I'll watch it.

But there is something "missing" this time of year. When the last second runs off the clock in The Super Bowl, we are left with 2 months of hockey and basketball (and of course, NASCAR, but that's a topic for another blog).

Its not enough.

We need a longer football season!

Yeah, that'll make wives around the country happy, but hey, it'll make for some happy men.

As for the actual Super Bowl, it was good to see the Giants pull the upset over the Patriots. My son hit two quarters in his school "numbers" game and "wins" no homework for part of the week. Good work outta him. The last Giants score cost me a few bucks as I had the numbers up until then, but its all good.

I gotta send a shoutout to Tommy Z (ZMAN) from Jersey. His Giants won the game and he was able to avoid getting his head shaved. You see, he made a bet with the boys from the Ron & Fez show on XM radio (channel 202 - The Virus) and made a "hair vs. hair" bet straight up with no points. And, like a man, he took the bet. He was relieved (and very happy I might add) when the G-Men won the game. Not only did his beloved Giants win the Super Bowl, but he keeps his locks. And, word is, he'll be getting a pilot show on XM radio soon. Rock on, ZMAN, rock on.

I think I'll make some kind of bet like that or similar if the Detroit Lions lose the Super Bowl.

Oh wait, the pieces of shee-at haven't won more than one playoff game in fifty years.

Well, there is next year...LOL

Buddy Culver still rocks...a new show will be out soon I promise: http://www.buddyculver.com

Some musings...

• I swear the older I get the more I can't stand the winter. Here in Michigan, it drags on and on and on...
  
• On the XM radio right now...Channel: Fred (oldies alternative) Artist: The Damned Song: Smash it Up. Good stuff. Followed up by The Smith's "Girlfriend in a Coma"...
  
• I really need to do a podcast. Its been nearly 3 months. I love jamming indie music and helping out bands in anyway, shape or form, but if I can't research the band and do a good show, then I don't do the show, period. Time to make some time...
  
• I've been averaging 2-2.25 miles a day (30 minutes) on the treadmill. It definetely makes a difference.
  
• This TV writer's strike is now starting to bug me. Why? Because the networks are starting to unlease a barrage of reality shows on us. I hate reality shows.
  
• The weather forecasters called for 10 inches of snow today. We got three. How can they fug up forecasts that bad when they have all this sophistacted radar and computer guidance modeling crap?
  
• Enough of putting an "i" in front of things. The iPod started it and it should stay there.
  
• I think I'll take golf lessons this spring.
  
• We've had the Nintendo Wii system for 6 months now. I still dig the bowling. It never gets old to me.
  
• Bell's Winter White is a vastly underrated beer. It should be their spring beer instead of Oberon and at 4.5% ABV makes for a great session beer. Think Blue Moon Belgian White, but with more flavor.
  
• Why are frozen dinners, the kind you buy in the grocey store's frozen food section, always so small? You need two of them to fill you up. So much for "Lean" cuisine.
  
• Duck breast wrapped in maple bacon and grilled is incredible.
  
• I don't think I've ever been this excited for the baseball season to start. Let's go winter over already. Go Tigers!!!
  
• I have a Flavorwave Oven (As Seen on TV) and I'm not afraid to use it. Seriously, the thing rocks. I cooked frozen solid Tilapia perfectly in 12 minutes the other night. I've cooked steaks, burgers, chicken (parts and whole), bacon and pork loin/chops on it. Whether frozen or thawed, everything has been great. I'm a believer.
  
• I will blog more often. I promise.
