Just My Opinion

I think Mike Tomlin's Superbowl half-time would have been better spent coaching rather than that rediculous singing act. Just god awful!

NFL - I Think I'm Done

~ The only vice which cannot be forgiven is hypocrisy. The repentance of a hypocrite is itself hypocrisy. ~ William Hazlitt

The NFL levies "huge" fines today for violent hits which occurred in last week's games. Meanwhile you can purchase these in almost any store. Guess who profits?

Women

Now I love woman, always have. Hell, I eventually even married one. But can we men just keep a few things in our lives reserved for good 'ol male jackassary?

I know what you're saying, "Doug, this is a really bad idea. Talking ill of women will cast a poor light on you and at a minimum get yourself cutoff for a month." After careful consideration I figured the poor lighting might work better with this little weight issue I have and the so called "cut off" really only amounts to about a total of 9 minutes so here goes...

Woman - Please stay out of the following:
- Rockets and anything dealing with telemetry
- Any discussion dealing with a rock band from England
- The Speed Channel
- The NFL

It seems like one Johnette Howard has even gotten to the point where she's landed employment where someone pays her to form opinions on one of these subjects. Jesus Christ we're weak...

Similar to how you might rub your dog's nose in his own shit as to make a point, let me grab Johnette by the nape of her neck and rub her nose in her own, well... article. Johnette wrote this on 9/15/2010 after the Jets fell to the Ravens. Before you read this keep a few things in mind:

- I'm not a Jet fan.
- The Jets lost the game 10-9 (for you writer types the math here is a differential of 1)
- The Jets are now 5-1

To date I've seen no follow up by Johnette. She must be busy working on a book about rockets.

Payton Loves His New Home (I think)

I hope its because he loves the outside of the house...

Quite a Ride!

Have you ever wondered if a commercial airliner can withstand 2 constant hours of severe weather? No? Well, neither did I until about 90 minutes into my Washington DC to Chicago flight yesterday.

I'm no metallurgist but I did take a welding class in high school and it just doesn't seem like aluminum should bend like that.

Best Friends

Ken Griffey Jr. and I go way back... well, at least through yesterday.

Standing in an airport security line yesterday the man behind me tapped me on the shoulder to tell me that my laptop's light was blinking. I turned around to find out that it was baseball's greatest player of all time, Ken Griffey Jr. Ok, so Jr's not a Mac enthusiast. Who doesn't know the light on a Macbook Pro always blinks when turned off? Jeeezz. Anway, we spent the next 3 minutes catching up, he dominating the entire world of baseball for the past 20 years and me dominating the entire world of Filemaker Pro. I did thank him for doing it right during the "steriod" era of baseball. He thanked me and wished more people would recognize the same. So, if you happen to see Mr. Griffey standing in an airport line go up and let him know.

Mr. Griffey, I mean Ken, no wait, Jr. - give me a call. Your new best friend Dougie Jr.
