Pretty Blah Week.

First of all, The Giants. (I'm not even going to discuss how disgusted I am with the Skins and the Bears.)

Charlie, don't start yelling from the back of the office about this because I'm just going to ignore it. Anyway.

They're not that good. In my infinite wisdom of "slightly more than part time football fan", I lump them in the "pretty okay, but in the long term, who cares" category. Maybe they'll make the playoffs, but they're not going much past that. I can understand getting all excited about it if they were my team (ahem, Charlie "BIG BLUE WRECKING CREW BABY" Kessler) because it's nice and all when your team beats the...Falcons?

But seriously, even the frontpage of the NFL section of ESPN has them as the big story. Admittedly, they're questioning just how good they are, but this win shouldn't even be that big of a story. New Orleans FINALLY starting to look like the team they were last year is a bigger deal. Sure it's probably too late for them, but still, thats at least an interesting story. Eli throwing to Plaxico again, really not that shocking. Sure the 25 TD's between them since 2005 is an impressive stat, and of course its an even bigger deal that it's tied for the highest number with Peyton/Harrison, but come on. It's not like anyone seriously thinks he's half the quarterback Peyton is.

Plus, Peyton is hilarious. Eli hasn't made any awesome SNL Digital shorts, now has he? A tip of the hat to Shockey for that awesome kick tackle. I ran into that guy in a gas station in Albany (the Giants summer facility is SUNY Albany), and he was in line ahead of us with two 12 packs of Michelob Light, and topped it off with two packs of Marb Lights. My friend and I debated asking him to either take us to a party, or come party with us, and to this day I regret it, because it was a pretty win win situation. Either he tells us to fuck off, and I have a new excuse to boo him every chance I get, or he takes us to some awesome strippers-on-a-boat party, OR we get to take him to go sit in the woods and drink by a fire and shoot off fireworks and break bottles. But of course by the time we thought this through he was long gone and we were driving away. Bummer.


Also, if Ron Mexico weren't such a dog-fight-having degenerate piece of garbage, the Falcons would have probably won.

Oh so here's that SNL clip, and a sweet "Adventures of Lil' Eli and Lil' Peyton" audio clip from the Max Kellerman site.

(And finally, as a member of the Max Kellerman Army, I highly reccomend checking out his site/podcasts, etc.)

Now that I'm done quasi plugging things/trying to make my life sound more interesting, here's the meat and potatoes.
