NHFFL the end of the regular season

First, let me calm any fears- Our ride was 25 minutes longer tonight than usual for the snow, but we survived.  The person in the Honda that couldn't top 20 without her ass end sliding down 1000 east probably added 5-8 minutes all on her own, but it's not like we ever topped 40.  By the time we hit good enough roads, we hit traffic.  Tomorrow should prove interesting- not just for the weather.  Our first retail shipment was supposed to get loaded this afternoon at 1, but as per usual for us and trucking companies, he failed to show until 15 minutes before happy go home time, and thus he will join the 6 trucks we have for tomorrow- if, of course, they show.

Second, I just got the word that Ndamekhum Suh got a two game suspension for being an idiot Thursday, just as yours truly predicted. "He will likely miss the next two games, severely hurting the Lions' chances for the playoffs."  AWWWW.  Maybe if Jim Schwartz could discipline himself, let alone his players, they wouldn't be facing this.

Third, before he slips into media oblivion, let me say one thing about Herman Cain and all the women that the dems and Politico seem to be manufacturing at will.  Wasn't Martin Luther King shacked up with a married woman in that hotel when James Earl Ray shot him?  Just sayin'.

Now, onto the purpose of this post- the end of the regular season in the NHFFL has arrived.  The Rangers finished off their third ten-win season with a 35-27 win against the Angels.  The Aguas return to the league with an 8-4 campaign and second place despite dropping the finale 26-19 to the Beagles.  The Beagles managed to win just 3 games despite scoring 5 more points than they gave up.  Which is ironic since they won a division title last year with an 8-4 record and 22 fewer points scored than given up.  The Greenwoods big return also netted them an 8-4 record and a playoff spot, though the Aguas take second on the tie breaker.  They closed with a 39-25 victory over the KCAs, who go from 7-5 and a Super Bowl championship to 4-8 and time to work on the ol' golf game.

A tremendous back and forth battle was waged between the Elks and the B2s for the Gold Division title.  And in the end, if the Elks could have just counted only Monday night, they'd have had a 33-9 win... but those nine that the Tubers got gave them a 49-42 win and a division title for the first time since they won the first two Dupont Divison titles waaay back in 1997-8.  In fact, they were 16-32 since their last non-losing season (2006, 6-6) until this year. In another twist, the B2s scored one less point than they gave up, making them the second champ in 2 years to manage that. The Elks finish in second place free and clear, though, because the Porkchops first season ended with a 44-32 loss to Buzz.  The Chops end at .500, good enough for the last playoff spot.  Buzz claimed 4th, by the tie breaker against the Ducks, who closed with a 42-20 pasting of the Clock BBQs, who lost their last 4 by a combined 90-157.  When the Bills went cold, so did the CBBQs (who had Ryan Fitzpatrick and Fred Jackson).




So the Rangers, who are 0-8 in the playoffs, get the week off to enjoy their third division title and first since 2004.  They'll await the winner of the Aguas/ Greenwoods game, both of whom have been out of the league since 2001, and the G'woods have been out of the playoffs since 2000. The B2s, who haven't seen the playoffs since a 32-21 loss to the Ducks in 2006, also get a rest while they await the winner of the Elks/Porkchops game.  The Chops, of course, are brand new; the Elks return to the playoffs for the first time since winning Super Bowl XI in 2007.

One last thing- here are the rosters for the all-pro game the week after the Super Bowl.   The Purple will have Angels Aaron Rodgers and LeShon McCoy; the Beagles' Beanie Wells and Vincent Jackson; the Greenwoods Ray Rice, Greg Jennings, and reserve Matthew Stafford; the Aguas have starter Calvin Johnson and reserve Neil Rackers; the Rangers send Mason Crosby and the DET D; the KCAs send the reserve D of CIN.    The Gold division is lead by Buzzies Cam Newton, Adrian Peterson, and Sebastian Janikowski; the B2s' Arian Foster, Wes Welker, and reserve CHI D; the Ducks Michael Turner and Larry Fitzgerald; the CBBQs' Dez Bryant; the Elks GB D and (amazingly) reserve qb Drew Brees; and the Chops contribute reservist Nick Folk.

Herman Cain Scandal Breaking News

With all the unsubstantiated rumours, innuendos, and obvious attempts by the DNC and Rick Perry to besmirch Herman Cain, I feel I can no longer be silent on the subject.

 20 years ago, I was a woman.  I know, hard to believe, but it's just as true as all the other accusations on the news.  The night I met Herman Cain, he patted me on the butt.  Then he gave me a piece of advice:  "With a butt like that, you should become a man." 

I took that advice and never looked back.  Thank you, Mr. Cain- your grope of my ass changed my life.

Herman Cain, N-----r head, and insensitivity

I like the way everyone with a dog in the political fight think that what Herman Cain said on This Week with Christina Interrupteur was so terrible.  I see even that model of verbal temperence, Rush Limbaugh, is on Herm's butt like stink on poop.  Well, I have several things to say about the subject, zall of which can be summed up under one phrase:

DID YOU WATCH THE FREAKIN' INTERVIEW!!???  Because I don't think you did.

First off, Christina Interrupteur conducted that "interview" with one goal in mind- to find some slip of the tongue for everyone to hang him on, since he's been so far shown too clean to be had in any of the traditional gotchas, i.e. affairs, alcohol, drugs, payola.  She was UNSUCCESSFUL, except for those of you who are blowing this thing out of all proportion.

Second, if she even sniffed that an answer he was about to give was not going to be fruitful by her lights, she Interrupted with a miniscule change of phrasing.  When a man as polite and well-spoken as Cain has to say, "...And I'm trying to answer your question!", that should tell you the kind of dirtbag interviewer you are dealing with.

Third, she forced the issue.  He answered in the only way a reasonably intelligent public figure, white or black, could.  And he added every caveat he could to honorably answer the question AND prevent the kind of ignorant public reaction he is now receiving.

The only people who should reasonably find fault with his answer are those who are trying to find a way to crucify him.  That others, such as Rush, ( and to a certain extent, WOWO's Pat Miller) are also doing so shows that even conservatives are more poisoned by the media than we realize, IMHO.

Herman Cain left more class behind him in the seat of his chair that Christina Interrupteur will evidence in a year's worth of interviews.  And while I'd certainly never use the n-word to describe Cain, I must admit to using the b-word to describe his interrogator during the interview.
