Renel's Green Bay Packers fan blog

Well...well...well. On a saturday morning, I was faced with two choices. Should I watch the typical saturday morning cartoons on cartoon network or should I watch some big time college football games such as Texas Tech vs. Kansas and Florida vs. Kentucky. I decided to leave the animated characters for another time and watch athletes tote the rock. I am watching the Florida Gators team make Kentucky Wildcats look like a high school junior varsity team. Within the first quarter the Gators scored 4 touchdowns back-to-back-to-back-to-back. That is a lot of backs!! I 'm serious...they have a about four different running backs that are very explosive and hit the hole pretty hard. The Gators started off by blocking two punts and and a field goal. The last time I have saw something like that was when I was playing NCAA 09 with the Georgia Bulldogs. The Wildcats came into the game being ranked 11th in pass defense, but they allowed quarterback Tim Tebow to have 139 yards in the first half.

Come on...I know you you felt that way many times when you are at your job and throwing your life away in Cubicle Island. I am not a big fan of that Island, their concierge services are terrible. Even the food is not edible, but I am not complaning....am I? Many people who are reading this can relate to what I am talking about. You go to your job everyday not knowing when Judgement Day is coming. You are trying to manage your team and when your boss ask what is going on, you say the old cliche "Just trying to take it one day at a time boss."  Weeks and months pass by and then BAM!!! You are faced with the performance evaluation and your boss gives you the boot without even letting you finish the job.

I had to write this because my question hasn't been answered. What the hell is wrong with these owners in the National Football League firing their boss so fast. At least wait till they finish the year out then you can make a decision. Several notbale coaches have been fired earlier this season such as Lane Kiffin of the Oakland Raiders, Scott Linehan of the St. Louis Rams, and Mike Nolan of the San Francisco 49ers. Don't get me wrong, if the man is not doing his job, a decision will have to be made whether or not he will stay. But, why fire a coach during the midseason especially when he bust his behind all through summer and training camp to get the roster right, and then he gets the hear those two words that no employees want to hear. It seems to me that a lot of these owners want to win so bad. If that is the fact, then get on the gridiron field yourself, put some pads on, and go head to head with those large athletes. That can be a pretty good solution to winning.

Oh...I'm sorry. I was just thinking out loud...please disregard the subject headline. Well, now that you are reading this, please enjoy. What I meant, is that those Rays are too good now. Now that there are the hunted, they are going to get more publicity, and the players are gonna have more endorsements, and the big thing...tickets and merchandise prices will be jacked up...DAMN!! I was hoping I can get a Carlos Pena jersey for cheap. Oh well, I can always try to buy cheap and sell high...I'm not trying to be a scalper, am I?

Tonight starts Game 1 of the 2008 World Series between Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies at Saint Petersburg, Fla. It is going to be pretty ecstatic as every living being will have their eyes glued on the tube at 8pm eastern time. Rays ace Scott Kazmir goes against Cole Hamels of the Phillies. Now, I can already feel the electricity around my body, and I am not the one pitching. They plan to come out with their best stuff tonight. Slugger Ryan Howard has problems getting contact with the ball and he might wake up tonight and smash a ball 400 feet towards right field. This is almost big as the Olympics..well kinda! I like to thank the bandwagon fans....cough...cough...I mean the Rays' fans that were hiding in the closet for so many years until their team reached prominence. I like to thanked them for supporting them.

Oh...I'm sorry, I didn't actually mean kool-aid or juicy juice. I really meant what is your favorite choice when it comes to enhancing your athletic performance. In other words, what is your favorite steroid? I wish I can say the same for you all,  but I don't really have one that comes to thought. I remember a couple years ago the slugger Barry Bonds and track athlete Justin Gaithlin were both caught and accused of using steroids for atheltic participartion in their respective sports. The common theme that they both have in common is that they didn't 'knowingly' used steroids. Is that even a word? Well, when my parents ask me why I took their food out of the refrigerator, I will just reply by saying "I didn't knowingly take some food, I was tricked." As a result, both athletes are no longer playing in their respective leagues and are scrutinzed day in and day out.

Naw seriously....Mr. Cutler has nothing on me. So what, I know what you are going to say, he is an NFL quarterback with a million dollars and living the life. AND....your point is? So what he is rich? I can do that to if I had the opportunity to throw a football to wideouts and score touchdowns and become a better legend then John Elway. What you guys think? Do you think it is possible? I am young, and I do have a face of star quarterback. Don't worry Mr. Cutler, I can't throw anymore, I am gonna let you keep your spot on the team, because Coach Shanahan liked you better. Just be careful!!

Wow, do you seriously think I can take his spot? I appreciate the encouragement though!! I am watching the game of the first half with Broncos and the Patriots and the Broncos can't get nothing moving. Matt Cassell is looking good throwing a touchdown pass to end the half and Sammy Morris is having the game of his life. He is running like someone who just stole free bread!! At that rate he can go for 1,500 yards and 16 loaves of bread later. Under a system that consistenly have 1,000 yard rushers ever since Terrell Davis, the Broncos better stepped it up. Champ Bailey, who I must say is the man or champ, is just hurt. I am sure he will get back and be able to defend Randy Moss.

   Whoa...whoa...whoa!! If I were to tell you that a professional baseball team with a small payroll that is not the Yankees made it to the World Series after having the worst record in Major League Baseball, would you think I am on some type of medication? It's okay, you don't have to answer out loud. I really know what you are thinking inside. Well, if you were on planet Jupiter for the past year, you have missed a lot in the sports world. If you are a big Cinderalla fan, and you have magic slippers in your closet, then this might relate to you. Who would've thought that Joe Maddon's team would be on the big stage.

   I know...I know. Some of you guys are like "Who are the Tampa Bay Rays?" Well, to help you out, they were called the Tampa Bay Devil Rays the year prior. I actually like the change, the word Devil gave them bad luck, don't you think? They are a professional baseball team in the beautiful town of Saint Petersburg, Fla. They are finally on the map and if you go to mapquest, I am sure you will find them. By the way, If you go down there... tell Dick Vitale he owes me a couple Final Four tickets, trust me he knows what I am talking about.

   If you can't spell it, I understand. Many teams in the league don't even know what that word means, for example ask the Arizona Crardinals, Seattle Seahawks, or the Cincinatti Bengals. Who would've thought a guy from the University of California would've outperformed the untouchable Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. Despite the fact that the Packers did not have their two starting defensive backs, Safeties Nick Collins and Aaron Rouse were able to return interceptions. That is unheard of for Mr. Manning to have his balls picked off for touchdowns. I guess he didn't understand that Lambeau Field is not an easy place to play.

   Ryan Grant was like a semi truck yesterday. he was carrying the load a lot. He finally came back to his old self of last year and back to Fantasy Hall of Fame status. For you packer fans, do not sleep or even take a nap on these gridiron athletes. Thy came out to play and they will demolish anyone who is in their way. Aaron Rodgers was pretty solid yesterday. He didn't put up flashy numbers, but being 21-28 for 186 yards is pretty good for me. I know he doesn't want to be compared to Brett Favre and I don't blame him, but if he keeps it up, everyone is going to say "I wanna be like Mr. Rodgers."
