Postponed
I forgot to mention how odd it was that the NFL decided to postpone the Eagles/Vikings game. Yea there was a snow storm, so what? NFL games are played in blizzards every year, it is some of the most entertaining football around in my opinion. I thought it was rather lame personally that they postponed the game.
The Eagles just happened to wrap up the division title yesterday when the Giants got smashed by the Packers. This game tonight still is important as the final two games will decide the Eagles seeding in the playoffs. We certainly don’t want to go limping in like we did last year when we got bitch slapped by the Cowboys.
This game has HUGE implications for our fantasy football championship game. Both my team and my opponent haven’t been lighting it up. I got screwed royally when the Texans decided to sit Andre Johnson so I wound up with a big fat ZERO from my one WR spot. My opponent has had some very poor performances as well with his two running backs AND defense/st only getting him a total of 8 points, pathetic.
Right now I am behind 53-32 but I have 4 players left to play and he has one. Ironically all of these players are Eagles. Unfortunately the Eagle he has is Mike Vick. I have Brent Celek, DeSean Jackson, David Akers and the Eagles defense. It is going to be a very odd situation tonight as far as my rooting interest. If Vick throws any touchdowns I want them to be to Celek or Jackson.
The Eagles winning 15-0 on the back of 5 David Akers field goals would be just about perfect. There is probably a $400-$500 difference between 1st and 2nd in our league. I am crossing my fingers that my fairytale playoff run has a happy ending.
My last day off yesterday was pretty tame. I actually did my blog entry from home and broadcast the process on justin.tv. You can get a sense of how tedious it can become.
I also made another attempt at the 6 pack challenge. I did better but was a bit frustrated that I wound up with 99 reps. I lose count while I am in the midst of the workout. If I knew I was 1 rep short of 100 I would have found a way to squeeze out one more rep somewhere.
My legs were pretty sore from my unexpected run of 10 miles on Sunday but I wasn’t debilitated. Hell I am not even walking with a limp, yet.
I went out and covered everything I could yesterday afternoon. It’s a good thing I did, this morning we had TONS of frost, it looked like freaking PA.
I did little chores around the house and split the rest of the time between the Xbox 360 and my PC. After playing some Peggle online against other people I discovered that I officially SUCK at Peggle.
Speaking of Xbox, I finally got around to trying to sell my old original Xbox on Craigslist. The 360 can do everything my old one can and more. Well, everything but play copied games. As far as original Xbox’s go, mine is pretty bad ass.
I had it chipped so it is able to play/copy games. It has a 200 gig hard drive that is 10 times larger than the original and it comes with a bunch of other accessories. It has like 35 games on the hard drive and I have another half dozen legit games as well. I listed this all on Craigslist for the bargain price of $150, figuring someone would offer me $100 or $125, which I would take. I haven’t received a single nibble.
It’s funny I read reports on Facebook of various people immediately taking down all of their Xmas decorations the day after Christmas. Yea, that is even weird to me, someone who isn’t a big Christmas enthusiast. I would recommend these individuals up their dosage of OCD meds. 🙂
