Sun, Sand and Body Surfing....Just another weekend in the desert...From the healthy, Norton virus protected notebook of your commish. Tuesday October 7th, 2008 10:12 PM Rambling after the Smith - Johnson Wedding (Week 5)... This week I'm firing up the Ramblings machine after 10 pm. Late, yes, but hey, it's only 8 in Vegas. Las Vegas is sort of like how God would do it if he had money. ~Steve Wynn We all made it there and back - well, not quite all of us are back yet, but the happy couple should get to spend a few days without having to deal with the rest of us....and congrats again. For those of you who are unaware - we braved the current economic situation the country sits in to go down to the Eric Smith/Melissa Johnson wedding at the fabulous Mandalay Bay Resort, Casino, Hair Care and Tire Center. I may not have quite seen the tire center, but I'm sure that somewhere in that monstrosity, there were a few southern Arizonians torquing lug nuts. The weekend went well - from nighttime golf with the emerald group guys to sweating like a fat man chasing a runaway M&M while eating cheese coated apples and chocolate coated bananas at the Melting Pot, it was a good time with some good folks. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. ~Jeff Candido and Jason Hoff, advertising slogan written for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, 2002 I think the girls would hope that it does stay in Vegas....I've seen the pictures, but I'm not telling. At least, not without a bribe. Well - how about those Vikings? I don't know what to say anymore. Our offense - even with Gus Frerotte - is horrible. How in the world did Adrian do so well last year? Why can't we have both a good offense and defense at the same time? But thank god for the defense anyway. If it wasn't for that and our kicking game (well, ok, not the punt team so much this past week) we would be as bad as the Rams I think. Speaking of the kicking game - Reggie Bush was amazing. I don't yell at the TV very often - but I definitely did when Kluwe gave Bush his 3rd try in a row at running it back. Childress should have told him - "I don't care if it only goes 30 yards - kick that thing out of bounds". In the case of an earthquake hitting Las Vegas, be sure to go straight to the Keno Lounge. Nothing ever gets hit there. ~Author Unknown No BIG comments this week - short but sweet and I'm off to bed. Hey, why not.....IF THE PLAYOFFS WERE TODAY-AY-AY-AY......
Anywho, good luck all in week 6 (except for Jugs and the rest of the Bison of course). And for this week's final word....we go to the great Vince Vaughn “We can't not go to Vegas,” Need I say more? BIGFFBL senior writer Jeremy Carlson sounds off whenever he feels like it on www.bigffbl.com |
