I have a favor to ask. If anyone knows, tell me exactly what these guys are pointing at.
Every football player that does anything he considers good, points up to the sky. Are they pointing to Heaven? What about the guys in the covered stadiums? Can they point and transcend the dome? Are they giving thanks to God?
Did God become a football fan over the last couple of seasons? Is He what they are pointing at? Even if He was a fan I doubt He would do anything to influence the score. However, it seems He has taken a liking to the Denver Bronco's recently.
Maybe players are pointing up to the heavens to give thanks to a deceased family member? When the camera pans in on the athlete on the sidelines the ever popular "Hi (or hello) Mom" is usually mouthed. If she is gone I understand her son pointing up to say hello. Now it looks like the players have moms and dads, aunts and uncles, and cousins up there.
It must be that every deceased relative of every football player is in heaven. I have yet to see one of the players point down. Hey there Uncle Rufus down in Hell.......Hiya doing?
Come on, even I have a distant relative who did prison time.
Another thing that's running rampant in the game is the "me and I" syndrome. You don't need to be a football fan to recognize this. Players mug for the camera and do their little "look at me" dance and the TEAM is penalized. Last Sunday an Oakland Raider made a pretty vicious illegal block. Although his team was penalized fifteen yards which gave great field position to the Detroit Lions this guy was smiling and yucking it up on the sidelines.
It sounded like a mistake, something we shouldn't have heard, like maybe his microphone was on and he didn't realize it. When the camera was on the offending player one of the TV announcers said, "look at that clown."
Dollars to doughnuts the "clown" will be at it again next week. Maybe if he was made to fold balloon animals on the sidelines for a game he would get the idea? But, I doubt it. Until the coaches and teammates start calling these players out they'll keep it up. All the better to see themselves on highlight shows.
My last comment on sports. I wish the guys on the sports talk shows would pay a little more attention to the word TALK. I have yet to see a promo for a "Sports Yell Show." Hey guys, tone it down to a roar will you please.
Since may of us will celebrate the Holiday's with cookies and dinners and cookies, here is some "fun with food."
A disgruntled customer threw a Molotov cocktail outside the drive-through window of a Taco Bell after complaining that his two chalupas weren’t living up to their promise of having extra meat.
The man, whom police and Taco Bell employees were unable to identify because of poor quality surveillance footage, called the Taco Bell around 4 a.m. demanding more meat for his chalupas.
When the manager told him she would be unable to accommodate his request because the restaurant was closing, she said he replied: “That’s alright, I’ll just come and redecorate the place.”
It's usually the chalupas not the customers that supply the gas. The manager said, "When he told me he was going to redecorate I thought he meant throw pillows, rugs, and wallpaper." Aside from indigestion there was little damage done.
Nashville police say a man apparently upset over his pizza threw a beer bottle with flammable liquid into the restaurant.
Officers said that it ignited a small fire that was quickly extinguished by employees.
Police said three employees chased the twenty eight year old man a few blocks and subdued him until officers arrived. He was injured in the scuffle and taken to a hospital where he was listed in stable condition.
Police said he would face aggravated arson and other charges in the case after his release. They said he has 32 prior arrests since 2006 on various charges.
When interviewed the man said he was trying to get into the Guinness record book for arrests in a five year period. "If I can get out of jail soon I think I can make it. I only have nine days 'till the end of the year but I'm sure I'll think of something. I only need two more arrests." He has no medical insurance and added, "I'd like to thank the authorities for not only arresting me but paying the hospital bills as well."
"This all started because I didn't get the stuffed crust I ordered. And, I asked for ham, not Canadian Bacon.
Florida authorities said a man accused of hitting a McDonald's worker in the head with a bag of food was found passed out in his driveway.
Police said he went through a McDonald's drive-through with his girlfriend, who was driving, shortly after midnight. They returned a few minutes later when they realized they were missing a drink.
The employee said the man seemed intoxicated. "He screamed obscenities at me. "Then he threw a bag of food and hit me in the head." She was able to give a description of the car.
Deputies said they found him sleeping in a Buick in his driveway. He was arrested on a charge of simple battery.
"I hit her in the ... head with a bag of food, so what?"
"I deserve to go to jail." he said when the officers woke him. "At least they get the food right in jail. And anyhow, the burgers were cold."
What is the world coming to when you can't complain about a food order?
