Yes, Raydurz, you won
Bah Humbug, indeed! Jim Carrey pretty good in A Christmas Carol, though Alan Silvestri turns in one of his most shlocky soundtracks. And this from a premier shlockmeister of Hollywood.
Look up his Filmography sometime. He decided to go for 'wonder' for the entire film, even when the specter of death is tossing Scrooge into the grave. Let's put some sparkle on that!!

Isn't this IMDB?? I'M in Da Basement? no?
This week's Match-Ups (just light them on the corners and they go up, and down, in flames in seconds):
Thursday:
Pittsburgh at Brownies
Steel Curtainrod meets the Clumps from Cleveland- Pittsburgh working on 4 losses in a row, and completely reeling after getting out-rallied by the Raydurz. C'mon guys, go for two in a row to the Cellar. Cleveland still the worst team in football.
Deadskins at Raydurz- we have an all-Cellar matchup! Can the Raydurz follow the pattern, and put up a total stinker after a win? Deadskins still can't believe they lost, and really really can't believe they are in the Cellar and have only 3 wins in the 14th week.
Jets at Tampa Bay- Bucs in danger of winning a game here. Jets don't have Sanchez, so the hot dog stand won't make the trip. Jets can put up a stinker with the best of them, but Bucs have Josh Freeman at QB, and he can lose the game all by himself, thanks.
Kittens at Baltimore- Kittens quietly going about their business of losing. Not flashy, no spectacular flame-outs, just good, consistent failure. It's their culture. Kittens will not score.
Nils at Cheaps- another all-Cellar, in all probability the Stiff of the Week. But statistical categories will get padded, because, well, they going to share and share alike here.
Lambs at Tennessee- If this isn't Blowout of the Week, then I'll eat my Homburg (though Packers at Cubs looks like a massacre from here).
Well, that's it, gang- there's only 8 teams left in the league (though our composite score still counts for our ultimate title). But I'm not writing about what some 5-7 team is going to do. I might as well write about the Niners then.
It's 38 degrees outside in San Francisco. Time for a plate of spaghetti. I want Christmas in Rome, but this time we go INSIDE the Vatican on Xmas Eve. Lasagna Xmas day, whaddya say?

I gotta say, this is always the most wonderful time of the year, but this year is even better BECAUSE OF THE CELLAR!!! I'm serious (as much as I can be.) Maybe it's the most "loser-ful" time of the year. I don't know, and I don't care. I grinned all the way through this post. The bad games are great now. Raiduhs/Skinflix might be sports bar worthy. I'd pay a two drink minimum to see the Nils/Cheeps. My nightmare of the week is a double feature. Brownies beat Curtain Rods, and Rottingburger gets into a brawl with Ward - Heinz on your Burger, anybody? Then the Lambs beat the Titanics, and VY goes back to the loony bin for an extended stay with visions of Stephen Jackson running wild in the secondary haunting him relentlessly. Wake me up when it's over!
ReplyDeleteWhat's more, I'm sure the Deadskins really really can't get their head around the fact that the Raydurz have a better record than them.
ReplyDeleteWalkfish has not updated the standings, here. Dude! Hey! Stop listening to those 25 songs!! I'm performing 6 of them this weekend- LIttle Drummer Boy, I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, God REst Ye Gerry Mentalman, O Ho Ho HOly NIght, Valking in a Vinter Vonderland, and I forget the other one....hmmm
Yeah, still can't believe we went to some tiny Methodist church in Rome instead of the Vatican. Who cares if we weren't Catholics?
ReplyDeleteThis could be one of the most exciting weeks of the year as we have some great matchups. It's just possible the Steelers decide to quit for the year and the Brownies win one. Who knows?
Standings are adjusted. I had to do somjething called work for a few days.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry eggchairjim, the Lambs will be slaughtered this weekend. But your Brownies are encouraged by scoring some points last week and they are facing a team in a swan dive. Could be a great game. I still pick the Brownies to lose by 6.
It's a run to the cellar now, and this is one of the most exciting NFL seasons ever.
Hey, how about them Cards? Look out SF next Monday. But Cards have a habit of stumbling after a good win. We will see...
OH, no, I think the Cards will be in payback mode something serious. WE shocked them in week one. Our secondary is completely shredded now, so Warner will just have a feast.
ReplyDeleteWhere'd you get that T-shirt photo??? I want one.
ReplyDeleteFound it on Google Images. Must be a Washington Raiders high school or small college or something? It's a XXL shirt, must be small folks at Washington.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, for the Steelers, that's a Lynn Swan dive.
Probably like SOC it used to be "Red Raiders" now just generic.
