Our favorite home-schooled, overrated, sure to be a flop as a QB in the NFL, chronic masturbating (possibly...) Florida Gator is back in the news - on 2 fronts. 1st, I didn't get a chance to watch the Senior Bowl, but everything I've read about the game and the practices leading up to the game, indicates that Tebow struggled terribly. I'm still hoping some team will try and turn Tebow into an NFL QB, but it's looking less likely now. I imagine after the combine, his stock will plummet even further. I think the best comparison QB-wise for Tebow is Alex Smith (both flourished in Urban {I might be dying of a heart attack, but might not} Meyer's offense). Now, Tebow is bigger than Smith, and possibly tougher. But, Smith is far more accurate, has a bigger arm, and a much quicker release. And he's struggled terribly in the NFL. And since Tebow is not nearly as talented as Smith, I can't see a franchise (other than the Jags - I hope, I hope, I hope...) taking a chance on Tebow as a QB. But, again, I'm really hoping I'm wrong. The 2nd thing with Tebow right now is that he's doing some anti-abortion ad that will air during the Super Bowl. And he's catching heat from all sorts of groups about it. I'm gonna defend Tebow on this one. I'm sure he deeply believes whatever about abortion being murder, or a sin, or something. While I completely disagree with the guy and all the other anti-abortion folks, I think his viewpoint should be heard. And if Tebow and his Christian cronies want to pay a couple million dollars to get his opinion out there, then cool. The left never changes. Ever. Liberals talk a big game about free speech. But, as I've noted on this blog a number of times, when someone wants to say something they disagree with, free speech privileges go right out the window. Damn hypocrites. I haven't seen this anti-abortion ad. And since I'm one of the few people who will not be paying any attention to the commercials during the game Sunday night, I doubt I'll ever see it. Now, if Tebow were doing an ad on the dangers of chronic masturbation, that I'd watch. It could feature Tebow, a tub of lube, and some kid going blind - it would be awesome.
It looks like our sputtering fake leader, Barack Hussein Obama, has done it again. He urged folks not to take vacations in Vegas. And while blowing wads of dough at the tables (by the way, my advice is to never bet on any game of pure chance - stick to sporting events and poker) may not be the wisest decision a guy with a family and mortgage could make, it's hardly Barry's place to try and regulate morality. Last I checked, the economy in Vegas was in the tank. The casinos have been pretty empty the past year or so. Unemployment there is fairly high. And the man who seems hell bent on making as many folks as possible become down on their luck and penniless, decides to discourage potential vacationers from going to Vegas. Thus further killing tourism dollars there. Way to go there dude.
Some really weird stuff has been going on with the Super Bowl betting line. Some of the most bizarre weirdness I can remember. As I noted last week, the Mafia dudes pounded the Colts when the line opened at -3. It went to 6 at one point. Then, over the last few days, the mafia guys are at it again, only this time on the Saints. Offshore, the line is back down to -4 or -4&1/2. For the uninitiated, what the Mafia guys are trying to do is middle the book. If you have Colts -3 and Saints +6, you've got a decent chance to hit both bets. I wouldn't be surprised if the same guys make huge moneyline bets on the Colts before kick off. As for Joe Uninformed, the public is about 2/3 with the Colts right now. And I fully expect them to move even more to Indy as Sunday approaches. I noted last week that I have a pretty strong feeling on how this game will go and why. I will do my annual Super Bowl write up tomorrow. And I promise that Kurt Vonnegut will be mentioned prominently. Obviously...You don't want to miss it.
Plenty of college hoops here lately and there are a couple teams flying under the radar that I think folks should keep in mind when next month's hoops tournament starts. Wichita State being one of them. Baylor being another. And UAB being the 3rd. All 3 are tough as nails and won't back down to anybody. It'll be interesting to see who these teams draw (assuming they all don't somehow collapse the next 5 weeks...).
I was flipping around the old TV last night and came across the Fight Club. And Meat Loaf and those giant man boobs, it cracks me up every time.
Lastly today, there was poll released on some web site called the Daily Kos. The poll had to do with the feelings of Republicans about Barack Hussein Obama. And the results have been shocking to many people. I don't pretend to know anything about the Daily Kos. But my assumption is that it traffics in way out leftist silliness. Which is fine, whatever. Here are some of the results of this Daily Kos poll vis a vis the GOP:
1) 21% believe ACORN stole the election - hard to define "stole" in this context, but if anyone is under the illusion that ACORN didn't make a huge difference in getting out votes for Barry, they're delusional. And the fact that ACORN signed up some folks dozens of times to vote certainly could give a slightly informed person the perception that something funny was going on.
2) 31% believe Barry is a racist who hates white people. I'm a little surprised this number isn't higher. Now, I have no idea what's in Barry's mind or heart or whatever concerning white folks. But I do know what he said about white folks clinging to guns and religion. And I do know the stuff that African wizard looking preacher of his said about white people from his pulpit. So, again I can see how an impression can be formed that Barry hates white people.
3) 23% want their state to secede from the Union. This has been tried before and if memory serves, it didn't work out too well. But, I don't really blame folks for wanting to get out from under all the big government Barry and his minions are pushing. Seceding is way misguided, but understandable.
4) 67% think the only path to heaven is through Jesus Christ. I'm stunned this number isn't higher. The only problem with the question is presupposing that heaven exists at all. It's highly doubtful, to say the least.
5) 39% think Barry should be impeached. For what, I have no idea. What an odd question.
6) 63% believe Barry is a socialist. Umm, Duh??? That's it??? They need to read this blog more often.
7) 36% don't think Barry was born in the US. Pure silliness, but if you listen to some of the nutty dudes on TV and talk radio, I can see how you'd get that impression. As always, don't watch any of the cable "news" shows (this includes all of them on the MSNBC as well as the Roger Ailes Network) for any reason other than sleazy entertainment (much like Springer and Mathis). Because if you're basing your opinions on any of them, you're crazy...
One last thing, I got a comment recently that simply said: I thought you were illiterate. Don't be fooled. Let me state for the record again, that yes, I am completely illiterate.
I know the answer but I'm asking you the question
