The Asterisk Era

I dislike the Jacksonville Jaguars, for no particular reason. I also dislike the New England Patriots, but that's because of the totally unsportsmanlike way they crushed and ran the score up and crappy teams this year. I won't even get into the fact that Tom Brady broke Peyton Manning's touchdown record by throwing on fourth down when they were up by 30 points in the fourth quarter. Anyway, in anticipation of the Jags-Pats playoff game this weekend, check out the power rankings from the Jaguars official website:Great huh? And if you don't get it, just google "patriots cheat" or something to get caught up. I realize this is only going to irritate the Pats more (Remember Anthony Smith?) but I like where they're going with it. I also like that they rated themselves fifth, because the first step is being honest with yourself.

So in my dreams, this is how the weekend plays out: First, the Colts beat San Diego, gaining momentum for next week. Actually, that's second, on Sunday. First, on Saturday, the Jaguars beat the Patriots in Foxboro, but it's a pyrrhic victory in which they lose 5 or 6 starters (just for one game- no permanent damage). Then the Colts beat the Chargers. It's a pipe dream, I know. But give me the Jags in Indy over the Pats in New England any day!

In other news,
1. I spend way too much time playing Guitar Hero. This could be a post in itself.
2. The Oregon Trail application on Facebook is lame. Not only does it fail to capture the fun of the original, the entire thing is geared around sending annoying invites to friends more than actually playing the game. Of course, maybe the original always just seemed more fun because it was elementary school, and you got to go down to the computer lab for an hour instead of listen to a regular old lesson.

Have a great weekend everyone!
