Joy of Football

Didn't watch the Orange Bowl Friday. Totally forgot about it until the next day when we were at J's work as she tied up loose ends before officially starting maternity leave.

I watched one Buckeye Game all year, and I didn't watch all of it. I figure that I didn't waste 30 hours given the end result was a lousy 40-35 loss to ACC's Clemson Tigers.

B1G TEN is not much of a Conference, so nothing really matter until "post-season," and Urban Meyer is 0-2 there as a Buckeye Head Coach. Being 2-0 against the Team Up North, is meaningless, these days.

Anyways, I watched a single Steeler Game all year and they lost on Turkey Day. I watched parts of the Green Bay game as I was putting together a changing table, but that was just background noise. Was hoping they'd make the playoffs, but the KC Chiefs lost a game they should have won to the Chargers thus allowing the Chargers to gain the final seed.

Annoyed, I was hoping the Chargers would get a chance to end the Chiefs Post Season, but they didn't get a chance since KC CHOKED IN INDY! While the Chargers beat the higher seeded Cincinnati Bungles. I watched the latter game and thoroughly enjoyed the mistakes made by the ginger haired quarterback who gave the game away.

Doubt it will happen, but Marvin Lewis should be let go  much like Dusty Baker was let go by the Red Legs. Neither knows how to manage a winner in the post season in Cincy. Mike Zimmer has to be on somebody's radar to fill one of the vacancies made in the past week.

Only an idiot would take the Cleveland HC opening since it has been the downfall to any coach who has ventured there since the REAL BROWNS moved to Baltimore and won a couple Lombardi Trophies as the "Ravens."  Side note, Jim Tressel would be a great Browns Head Coach for he is a big fan of the PUNT.

Bags are for the embarrassed

The image blocker app I had in mind would make the fugly look like Rockies fans.

Interestingly, those covering their heads when seeing the PITTSBURGH PIRATES take 2 of 3 from the Rockies this week were considered potential threats.

"As a security measure, post-9/11, any clothing which conceals a guest's face is prohibited, including but not limited to, costumes and masks," explained Jay Alves, the Rockies' vice president of communications and public relations. "That would include bags over a guest's head."

Does that mean that they profile those that would wear a burqa to see "America's Pass time" in person?

Where's the ACLU?

Drawback about social media

There are a lot of journalists and social commentators that thrived in newsprint or radio but not on television because they were fugly.
Sure there were unattractive carny-like people on television like Katie Couric and Jamie Farr, but you have to offset the price of your stars with the cost of lower tier quality support to lower overhead.
Anyways, Twitter has allowed the fugly free reign of the internet. Where as before, you didn't have to think about what someone looked like when you read their reporting, now you have to see their avatar/profile pic since print media is dead and everything is easier to access online.
There needs to be program that blocks fugly images from being viewed upon a Twitter feed (not-so-fugly people that are safe to casually follow often retweet fuglies' tweets).
Okay, what is fugly? Well, it can be anything asymmetrical enough to merit a bag over it.

Growing up I thought that's what a "bag lady" was, someone too fugly to be seen in public that they had to have a bag over their head. I believed that some cultures had them wear burqas. 

Funny thing is that a bag lady is thought to be homeless while a bag man is thought to be a criminal, yet it's considered profiling if you give casual attention to those wearing a burqa.
