Universe On The Couch

All we are saying is give Tebow a chance. I may be no FB expert, but I am perplexed by the lack of interest in Tebow. Let us look at the NFL right now. The better teams seem to have an answer at QB. But the middle group have some answers, but not that convincing. The bottom group is up for grabs. And then there is the back-up situation. If the big man goes down, who steps up? A rookie unknown? Some guy that was pretty good, but now older? What happens if Kap, Brady, Wilson, Rogers or another stud goes down? For the season? Or five or six games? Tebow may lack this or that by some formula, but the guy is a proven winner. Look at his college career. Yea, sure, plenty of those guys flop in the NFL. That supports my contentionof not relying on a rookie back-up. But Tebow kicked ass at Denver. Talk about highlight film! Clutch! Win the division and then knock off the Steelers. All this baggage talk is crap. Because he is well-loved? Sell the tickets. Work with charities. Or is it the Jesus thing? Better to come out gay. Tolerance is supposed to be universal. When I look at the NFL, the baggage I see is over-inflated egos and selfishness along with outright criminal behavior. All I am saying is give Tebow a chance.

The NBA Playoffs are on. But the Bulls are devastated by injury and looks like Jimmy and friends are in for another crown. NHL? Go Blackhawks, but I am not a hockey guy. Baseball? That means T-Ball with my son. This year I followed the NFL Draft like never before. Probably a distraction during the end stage cancer of my sister-in-law. Still, the NFL is the sport to watch for me. I almost feel a depression wehn the Super Bowl ends each year. The Pro Bowl never really mattered to me. I realize the NFL or any sports do not matter at all. Like my wife following gossip magazines. The players are often disgusting pigs. The owners an upper class version of the same. It is so all about money. As if any of the parties is not swimming in cash. So why do I like it? Why am I so not alone? Why is it the best spectator sport bar none? 1. It is well-suited to TV. 2. It is gladiator. 3. It is about war and empire-like the USA. 4. It gives us heroes and villians. 5. It is complex and full of strategy. I will just touch on the war thing. We are an empire. We rule the wrold like no nation ever has. Nothing major is in space, the air or on the seas without our permission. Football is war. It is about territory. taking the capitol of the enemy. Air attack adn ground attack. And defense against both. Played in whatever conditions. (If done properly). Plenty of casualties. Must work as a team. Deception. Valor. Will.

GINORMOUS=GIANT+ENORMOUS My four year old son came up with that one. Unfortunately it is not an original in the English language. Like every parent, I am on the look-out for potential genius in my kids. I even tried to plant it in coversation at the SuperBowl. It sort of took. Maybe they were too drunk. I had this fantasy that I could conduct some experiment and see if I coud go viral with it. And maybe make money off it. The easy buck. Seems some pretty mindless things are going big. Gangnam. Kim K and the whole family. Are we that out of ideas? That bored?
