I'd write something crafty here...

but I'm busy as hell. See you all on Tuesday or so.

Free reign in my comment section. 

How 'bout them Hemogoblins?

Hey.

Guess what.

I love sports.

This website's addicting... 

Why you don't bet with people on the Internet:

     I am a typing example of why you don't make bets over the Internet. Thanks to a certain person with a house, I am going to be wearing this tag for a while.

 Cassidy's House and I made a bet over the Packers-Cowboys game. The stipulation was that I had Green Bay, and she had Dallas. The loser of the game had to put a tribute to the other person in their username. Well, thanks to my local cable provider, I didn't get to watch the game live (and neither did most of you for that matter), and instead, I went to the high school girls' basketball game (where my team decided to discombobulate in the last two minutes, turning a 5 point lead into a 3 point loss, and it had nothing to do with good offense for either team). I arrived home to discover that, well, crap, Cassidy was right. Unfortunately, your's truly gets to wear the "Cassidy's right" tag for the next week. Mmmhmm. 

Not quite App State: Upset bids that failed in Week One

  Firstly, I would like to start with Virginia Tech. ECU played like a team possessed, which impressed me. I thought that BeamerBall would catch up to them quickly, and that they would have never had a prayer once they had to punt a couple of times. The fact that they got that game into the fourth quarter 10-7 says something about Skip Holtz (yes, he's Lou's son), Eastern Carolina's coach. They never said "OH MY GOD!!! We're playing Virginia Tech!!!" Instead, they stuck with it, and they made that game interesting until the very end. They got hurt when they had their star defensive end (#50... can't remember his name) cramp up halfway through the final quarter, and once he left, they didn't have the same spark, and shortly thereafter gave up the throwing touchdown by Sean Glennon. I can excuse the Techies for not having their head in this game. There were bigger things than football on their minds, understandably. Branden Ore not even getting more than 50 yards (don't know the exact total) is another omen for them headed towards Louisiana State.

McLaren F1 team orders screw Hamilton (again?)

Alright... Watching (or even just box score gazing) a formula one race from the west coast is kinda challenging (even more so when said user doesn't have premium cable). So when I sacked out last night  (this morning) at six, I saw that there was some contreversy over Lewis Hamilton's inability to take a flying lap because of his team-mate (Fernando Alonso, two-time Formula One champ; team-mate only in the fact that their cars are painted the same) blocking him, I wondered "Gee, I wonder how the FIA are going to punish McLaren." I woke up at noon (or so), went back to Yahoo! UK and saw that McLaren's points this weekend don't count and that Fernando Alonso had to take a five spot grid penalty. That five spot grid penalty is just like starting at the very back, because the Hungaroring (or for avid F1 Rejects readers, the Hungarsnoring) allows for practically no passing (which formula one does a really good job of anyways, they don't need help). McLaren later announced that they would not appeal the grid penalty, but will challenge the FIA over their points being disallowed.
