Jeff: Odds and Ends...

I have a few things I need to sound off on--and none of them have to do with the debate tonight, unless that debate is whether I'm eating chips and dip or leftover pizza when I get home from work. Frankly, I could eat both. I am, after all, the person that's come closest to eating 2 chipotle burritos in one sitting, and I still contest that if the girl that made it hadn't put tomatoes in it--ESPECIALLY SINCE I TOLD HER NOT TO-- I would have finished them both. I think all the work of picking out the tomatoes wore me out. Really, how are tomatoes even an option at chipotle? And for the love of pete, why don't they have one in NOrth Dakota yet?!? The 7 other people living in the state want to know too!!!

• I could take this time to rip on the Packers, but I don't want to hurt Porta's feelings. I can say this tho; we'll see who the REAL Packer fans are now. I don't know about you, but I know plenty of Cheeseheads that claim they've been life-long Packer Backers, even in the '80's when they played half their games in Milwaukee. We'll see.
• If you don't know it yet, I'll tell you: the Vikes have to play the Colts on Monday night in a few weeks. I figure the over/under could be an even 100 points for that game. And you know what? I think I'd STILL take the over.
  
• I can't decide what makes me more giddy: the thought of the Packers woes continuing all season long, or when the Lakers don't make the playoffs this year and Kobe will have no one left to blame but himself--even though he WILL blame everyone else. I just can't decide.
• One of my fantasy football teams is 5-0. The other is 1-4. Don't ask.
• Even the devil himself wouldn't cheer for the Yankees.
  
• I think Joel and I are probably the only people I know who are exstatic that the NBA starts very, very soon. And as soon as I learn to spell ecstatic, well, the sky's the limit really. And Porta, you forgot one of my "smorgasboard" teams: the Seattle Supersonics. Yeah baby, the only team in the West who is pretty much guaranteed to not make the playoffs.
• Whether it happened in Minnesota, Cleveland, Buffalo or any other city or state that has suffered sports heartache and a championship drought, I am just baffled at what a tv sports reporter said in Seattle last night: Seattle won the WNBA championship last night, and apparently, according to this guy, that's supposed to cure the woes of sports fans of the Pacific Northwest for the last 25 years (the Sonics won the last and only REAL sports title in 1978 for the city of Seattle). The WNBA? Are you kidding me? A WNBA "Championship" has about as much validity to me as somebody winning a game of pickup basketball at a local court or the PS2 Madden Super Bowl I won. Why can't David Stern let the WNBA die? WHY? Would it be to much for ask to just let them go it alone? I mean if hockey has to suffer, why can't the WNBA?!?!
