Monday Morning Moments

Sorry for the lack of posts over the holidays, and recently. I've been busy with end of year work, and other stuff, so the blog was neglected.. Sorry it won't happen again..

OLD NEWS:
Last week the "George" started shooting his new movie all over STL (he'll be here for 5 months, also turns out that the best place to shoot a movie that has an abundant of abandoned buildings, also an empty airport is right here)... Judging by the comments section in this STL Blog about what he should do while he's here (there's only 154 comments, mainly guys proclaiming that their wives want him over for dinner, and pretty much the other 100 or so comments are girls just getting a little too excited in their pants about the thought of El Jorge coming to their house) I would say Clooney is the shizz, hell if I ran into him at the Casino, even I would be excited, I mean he shook Sinatra's hand... (well he said it in a movie, so it has to be true....)

Also last week saw the Colts go down in OT, to a team I don't want to even talk about. As they are cockier then the UofM "Golden Gopher" program...(or lack thereof, read on..)

So onto my NFL analysis:
I'm not going to lie about this, my playoff bracket is defunct... I had the Colts going to the Super Bowl... Not that I'm a homer, but I just thought Payton was healed and ready to meet lil bro maybe in the biggest game of their lives.. (How cool would that be? Prolly good for the ratings and the sport too)

Also just looking over the bracket, who predicted that the 2 #6 seeds would make the Super Bowl.. I know it hasn't happened yet, but it could happen.. I feel bad for Panther fans, they simply wrote off the Cards, and I heard about here in the Lou (yes, people are still in love with Kurt Warner, "he's the whole reason why the Rams won, and now they suck"-quoting every ram fan there) But as Jacobi wrote to me over on the Slice, DEFENSE can get you very very far in the playoffs.. Just ask Philly, as they somehow got past the GIANTS?? And I'm sure the Titans are still feeling the pain, but 3 turnovers, and some huge goal line stands helped the Ravens get past Flacco's uni brow, oh and the Titans.. (Yes, I agree with many, and Ray Lewis needs to teach Flacco about uni's, I mean after all Ray Ray is the only leader on that team..{who really would want to try and be a leader over him?}) Oh, ya in regards to Defense wins Championships, you still need to score, so in turn Offense wins you that Championship Game..

I'm done with the NFL for the year, as I don't really like anyone left in the playoffs.. I'd say Pittsburgh, but I dislike Hines Ward that much..(I'll still pick them to win the Super Bowl, over the Cards) I'd go with the Ravens, but as much as they love to talk about Joe Flacco and him being a rookie QB, you'd think someone would mention the uni brow JUST ONCE!! Just ONCE!! So I can laugh and get over it, instead they hide it, and it makes me hate him more... If the media embraced it, I'd let it go.. The Cards have Kurt Warner, who the STL papers love to lick his armpits, that's how much everyone is in love with the guy.. Making me irritated with him, just because of the sole reason he gets wayyyy tooooo much love here.. (Nice reasoning I know, as he does a lot for the community, and his story about who he was pre-NFL is a good one.. Maybe I'll change my look on him) Lastly, the Philly Eagles, and Donovan (his mom), Andy Reid (his belly) have been on my blog before, and I don't need to bash them even more.. I simply dislike them...

Moral of the story, they just don't have good guys I want to root for...

Blog Shout out: Well my deep sympathy goes over to my BoaDM, as his Day of Awesome, wasn't the greatest when it came to his favorite teams. BUT, when you can still fill your pockets with a little bit of coin, it helps maybe cover up the bitterness for a while...

BLUES Shout out: Fellow Sioux Alumni, and current Blues Rookie Standout TJ Oshie, has returned to the NHL after his injury, and now is averaging a point/game... Too bad he was injured in the 1st half of the year, otherwise media and analysts said he was a lock for the NHL young-stars game. As fellow Sioux Alumni, and current Blackhawks standout Jonathan Toews was voted in by the fans to start in the NHL All-Star game.

SIOUX Shout out: BIG BIG BIG Props, to the Sioux Hockey team over the weekend. As they dominated their Biggest Rivals the Gophers by Sweeping the weekend series in a very convincing manner scoring 12 goals in 2 games. Oh ya Minnesota was ranked #3 in the nation, and the Sioux were unranked...

Comedy Clubs: I just went to my first Comedy Club on Saturday Night.. I have to say, it impressed me. I went to a place called the FunnyBone, and the hallway is lined with numerous pictures of guys/girls that actually performed their before they made it big: Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Woody, and about 10 others that I'm brain farting with that I recognized. Either way it was a fun experience, and I was expecting an old routine, but Robert Hawkins (might be the guys name) was the headliner, he's appeared on HBO, comedy central, and other places, but he had some great current jokes about commercials like the Sham Wow, and $5 foot longssss... LOL I'm still laughing about them. It's the 2nd time in my life (next to the time in college when Endo and I couldn't stop laughing in Global Climate, and the teacher made a mockery of us, because he thought we were laughing at him, but we weren't...Needless to say I think we both dropped that class) back on topic, it's the 2nd time in my life where I couldn't stop laughing for more then a minute or two.. I mean the guy rattled on and on these jokes that were hilarious (you're prolly like "ya Brett that's his job, and you're supposed to laugh.. ass clown") but still I've never been to a comedy club, and watched some on tv, and they don't make me laugh.. (Maybe it's the beers we had, that came in a 5 pack chilled on ice in a bucket for $18) Either way, great experience, in which I encourage all to get one in their lifetime.. Now if only I could remember some of them jokes..

Mizzou Shout out: I'm sold on the idea, that if you're a Hot Chick, and you live in either Missouri or Illinois, it's a must that you go to Mizzou.. I've met 3 girls in the past 3 days, and they are drop dead gorgeous, and yes ALL are attending Mizzou. It reminds me of UND vs NDSU, and yes we all know the answer to where the ugly lezzy's go? (sorry mom, she's the only exception) Right bro? (My brother made it through 1 semester at NDSU, then wised up, and went on to graduate from UND) Thus, I must make a trip to see a Mizzou Football tailgating party, could care less about the game, because the girls I talked to say, they hardly make it past the gates!!! (Take it for what it's worth... I did)
