Inside My Head

What Were They Thinking?

National Football League – I know it is tradition to have the Lions and the Cowboys play on Thanksgivings every year, but is this really necessary? I have no problem seeing the Cowboys, but the Detroit Lions? They may be one of the worst franchises in the history of sports. Is it really necessary that you show this year in and year out on Thanksgiving Day? Not only did the Lions get demolished, but also they tried to cover up their dreadfulness with a halftime show that wasn’t even good.
Rick Astley – By performing at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and Rick Rolling half of America, you basically put an end to the internet phenomenon that is Rick Roll. Secondly Rick, if you are going to perform, please don’t lip synch. It was pretty obvious that you weren’t really singing, and you didn’t seem all that into it. I expected more out of you Rick.
Green Bay Packers – I think we are far enough into the season to say that you made the wrong choice in letting Favre go and keeping Aaron Rodgers. Favre has led the Jets to an 8-3 record, while your quarterback has you in third place in one of football’s worst divisions. Also, you should think about telling him to get a hair cut. He’s beginning to resemble the Johnny Damon of old.
Antonio Pierce – Now Plaxico, you know that I could rip on you all day long, but instead I’m going to take some shots at you Antonio Pierce. I understand the whole helping out a teammate concept, but trying to hide his gun for him? That was probably not a good idea. Now you could get charged with some kind of infraction, and you could likely be in some legal trouble in the future. What exactly were you thinking?
Shoppers – I know that Black Friday is always the biggest day of the year for shopping and the biggest day for deals, but why in the world would anyone wake up at three o’ clock in the morning so that they can go to the mall and be bombarded by five hundred other shoppers? The word on the street is that JC Penney had a line all the way around the building into the street at four o’clock in the morning. Wouldn’t you just leave at that point? What is the point? Everything is going to be gone by the time you get into the store. What is wrong with you? On a lighter note, it was good for the economy.
Radio Stations – This is where I get really angry. Where do I even begin? Friday morning I was driving, listening to the radio. Every single station I turned on was playing Christmas music. I feel like the play it earlier and earlier every year. I don’t want to hear it right now. Just wait until the middle of December, and then you can play it all you want, I don’t care. Please just give me some time in between Thanksgiving and Christmas though, that’s all I’m asking.
LeBron James – I am going to have to agree with Charles Barkley here. Why do you feel the need to talk about where you are going to sign in two years? It is two years away. You are disrespecting your team and the NBA by doing this. You don’t have to hype up yourself. We know you are good. Just shut up and play basketball. If you want to go overseas to play in a few years, be my guest, but good luck acquiring the same amount of fame you have now.
2008 Turkeys of the Year – There’s a lot of people I could give this award to, but only a few who really deserve it. Let’s start off with some college coaches. Rich Rodriguez, congratulations! You have successfully lead Michigan to there worst season ever, and have made them the laughing stock of College Football. Charlie Weis, why did you ever leave the Patriots? You have turned the most celebrated College Football team into one of the worst College Football Teams. Great job. I think Chad Johnson and Roger Clemens also deserve a shout out for this award.
High School Football – Why is it that many high school football games are now played on the eve of Thanksgiving? This is just not right. You play on Thanksgiving Day. That is the way it should be.
Plaxico Burress – You just know I had to come back to you. Wow, did you really shoot yourself in the leg. Not only were you dumb enough to carry a gun, but you were dumb enough to shoot your own self. I feel bad saying this, but you deserve to be injured and suspended. What were you thinking?


What to Watch For:
Two big games in the NFL: Giants vs. Redskins – will have a major effect on the NFC East. Patriots vs. Steelers – will show if the Steelers are really as good as they seem.
The downfall of Barry Bonds: Bonds’ drug test results could be made public sometime soon, which could ultimately be a deciding factor in his perjury case.
Big day in college hoops on Sunday when ten top 25 teams will play.
The Oklahoma City Thunder could potentially lose their fifteenth straight game when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight.
Watch for idiots that buy their Christmas trees immediately after Thanksgiving.
Hopefully, we will see some snowfall sometime soon.
See how the Giants fare without gunshot wounded Plaxico Burress.
Watch for Andy Pettite to possibly reunite with Joe Torre in Los Angeles.Keep track on the race for C.C. Sabathia.
