Super Bowl

Finally, a Super Bowl I feel like watching. Here's the top 5 reasons why:

5. Peyton Manning--let's see if he can win "the even bigger one."
4. Rex Grossman--he's got to be one of the streakiest players to ever lead his team to the SB, but I still like him from when he threw for 1,000,000,000 yards at Florida.
3. The Bears D vs. the Colts O.
2. The Bears.
1. The Patriots aren't in it. No Tom Brady, no miraculous Teddy Bruschi comeback stories, no Bill Bellichek in his matching Patriots sweatsuit.

My realistic prediction. Peyton Manning pulls his head out of his un-clutch anus and wins, barely. Colts 28, Bears 24. But I'm rooting for the Bears, but I wouldn't mind seeing Dungy get a ring.

So what do you all think? Who are you rooting for? Let's take some predictions.

Matt's Going Away Drinkathon

Per Coulter:

"... [this weekend is] my last weekend in nebraska, there will be going out in lincoln on friday night for things like misty's, barrymore's, doc's, bodega's, cliff's, harry's, the bar, the 'hole, etc., and in omaha saturday night for midnight sushi and cocktails. i should be contacted by interested individuals for more details."

Apparently this weekend will be so crazy, we're going to forget to capitalize words.

I Royally F'd things up

Children of the 177,

I must first apologize. If you havn't already noticed...I screwed things up in blogland. Blogger.com is upgrading to a more user-friendly interface, however, they're running it through Google. So now, unfortunately, we have to have google accounts to make posts to the blog. This is absolutely ridiculous...and I'm sorry.

But if everyone starts a Google account, the capabilites of the blog will exponentiate with the new upgrade. Again, I'm sorry, and I'm actually going to look for ways to fix this BooooSheeet.

Stay tuned.

Damn Global Climate Change

Sorry about the Democrat headline, but these photos of the NE ice storm are pretty wild:

I had to make my virgin Exit 177 post...

...a good one. And since this blog is in many ways a tribute to NP, I'd be absolutely remiss if I didn't mention this:

For the record, I'd like to point out that this is somewhat painful. Even though he allegedly was largely a shyster, he was always cool to me and I always thought that it was a crock when people went after him for naming the youth sports leagues after a beer. No one else dedicated themselves even 1/8 as much. And the alleged arson of the D&N center was also necessary, it sucked trying to shoot threes on a Rubbermaid floor in 40 degree weather.

I'd like to open the floor to the masses to share your favorite NP youth sports memory. Mine, although fictional, involves Eric Naranjo driving to our Jefferson vs. Washington/Eisenhower football game in an 85 Monte Carlo, throwing a cigarette to the ground as he stepped out of the car, rocking a full beard and proceeding to run for 674 yards and 8 touchdowns. Then, after being named MVP of the game, he hugged his baby son and went to work at PremDoor.

What's yours?
