Fantasy Football: Thankful For Titans

Posted by Patrick at 12:17 pm Published in Fantasy Football

Daunte Culpepper wasn’t the only one playing football on Thanksgiving.
I got up early on Thanksgiving to play a little football on my own- 11 on 11 full tackle. I’m still hurting as we speak.
However I don’t think I’m hurting as much as Culpepper after the Titans defense sacked him 4 times, while also scoring an [...]

America Got Rick Roll’d For Thanksgiving

Posted by Patrick at 7:34 pm Published in Film & Video

I came downstairs for this morning and my sister Diana was watching something on YouTube that had a very familiar sound. That sound was Rick Astley. Was she Rick Roll’d? No it appears that all of America was when a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade abruptly halted their musical number to bring out [...]

Posted by Patrick at 4:00 pm Published in Blog

Pink Is The New Blog is a very popular blog. I don’t know much about what they write in it but I am a big fan of throwing some love out to my namesake in a recent post- Pho Sho.

Posted by Patrick at 8:18 pm Published in Blog

Sixteen days.
It’s been about sixteen days since I’ve been able to enjoy internet from my home (it’s also been sixteen days since I’ve moved into this home.) That’s over a fortnight. But the wait is no longer.
After eight hours of watching Mr. FiOS technician work and work- I now have crystal clear TV and blazing [...]

I Miss Internet

Posted by Patrick at 7:24 pm Published in Blog

Some people can’t live without food, water, or Heroes.
I can’t live without internet.
So you can imagine my life waiting for the November 25th- when I get FiOS TV & Internet installed. I’ve never felt so disconnected.
I’ve gotten by with dragging my laptop to work and various third place candidates. But I cannot wait for the [...]

Fantasy Friday: Crunch Time

Posted by Patrick at 4:54 pm Published in Fantasy Football

It’s week 12 of the NFL football season.
With 5 weeks left to go there’s plenty of football left to play before playoffs. However for most of my fantasy leagues there’s about 3 weeks left before playoff starts- and for many that means playing to win that last playoff spot. For those still in the race, [...]

Street Sweeties

Posted by Patrick at 12:54 pm Published in Blog

I was watching Morning Joe the other day when I heard Willie Geist’s “News You Can’t Use” segment. He mentioned fellow co-host Mika Brzezinski made Maxim’s TV’s 10 Hottest News Anchors list.
Of course I had to check out this list.
The list is Maxim’s choices from the 24-hour news networks, and I have to agree with [...]

Crazy For Craigslist

Posted by Patrick at 1:43 am Published in Blog, Rants

“That isn’t how Craigslist works!”
Those the words of Lynn Ritter as I walked away with her TV. As you know this past week was dedicated to putting the finishing touches on the new house. Last weekend I moved in all my stuff but most of this week was spent unpacking, cleaning, and finding furniture. One [...]
