Seth Olsen picked up by Indy
that makes 3 hawks on the team. Too bad they’ll be terrible for as long as Peyton is out.

Vikes cut Olsen to make room for Reisner, right?
I’d heard they were happy with both guys. I guess there’s only so much room, though.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"

Colts cut an interior lineman they’d kept the last few years to make room for Olsen. He’s at least backup caliber in the Colts and Vikes estimation.

he should never be expected to block Mario Williams one on one though
that’s on the tackle who didn’t give him any help.

So, does anyone want to go to the game w/ me on Saturday? 60 bucks face value.
The Nephew has box seats to the Sporting KC v. Canada, or some crap like that, game so he can no longer go (he had them b/4 Saturday’s fiasco) and my sister is a cheap ass that doesn’t want to buy her ticket. Sis is going w/ me as of now but I’d rather go w/ someone that wants to be there.
Oh and my mom said my sister doesn’t like driving in IC, to which I replied it isn’t like driving in mid-town Manhattan. Good grief, I thought this sister was the normal one.
I'm not very close to IC. :-(

Yep, I'm a Northern (Rambler should be proud).
I’m parking at The Final Gun’s so I’m planning on getting there early. I’ll be up there Friday night at The Vine, or so I’ve been told. I guess everyone should keep their phone’s handy so we can all meet up via the twitters.
Are you driving down Saturday morning?
by Carfino'sWay on Sep 12, 2011 9:17 PM CDT up reply actions
Yep, from the QC
Kiddo’s got a 6:30p soccer game, so we won’t get to my parents till late. We were in IC by 8:30, I think. We’ll see how early we leave this Sat…
Enjoy the Vine! Haven’t had a night out in IC since 2007. Was supposed to do a big girls weekend 9/30, but it got nixed because too many girls were traveling in for game weekends/high school reunions, etc., & couldn’t make that weekend work. Now we’re planning to party it up the weekend of the spring game. It better not freaking snow!

by Carfino'sWay on Sep 12, 2011 9:29 PM CDT up reply actions
I'm taking the glass half-full view:
We left at 3:30p 2 weeks ago & didn’t make it to the QC till almost 7:15p because of all the Fri/holiday weekend traffic. Hopefully we’ll make it in closer to 2.5 hours this time.
The Vine reminds me of Chris Street, tho I’m not entirely sure why. I don’t have any specific memories of him being there. I think maybe we saw his girlfriend there not too long after the accident. Odd how the mind works sometimes.

This is true. Your traffic is MUCH worse than mine.
People in KC absolutely cannot drive and it is so annoying. Every day they have trouble getting up the hill at Holmes and 435 and I don’t get it. It’s a hill people figure it out.
That is quite a memory. I always think of him when I listen to KRNA in the morning or there is an ice storm.

So, for those of you far along in A Song of Ice and Fire...
I’ve spoiled a few things for myself because I’m an idiot. And by a few I mean a lot…
It seems that the story takes a bunch of really strange (and not good) turns and the writing starts to get a little out of hand. I know it’ll still be pretty solid, but is it still worth totally investing in?

But some of the stuff that I know starts happening really kinda frustrates me. Like how magic and nercomancy eventually become a huge part of the story, when there’s really no mention of them in the first book.

That's good.
Cause I’m legit worried. I hate it when fantasy or sci-fi novels start to just do whatever the fuck they want to with the limits of the world they’ve created simply because they’re fantasy or sci-fi novels.
It’s why I love Harry Potter so much. And why I’ll never apologize for that. The door is left completely open from the very beginning, so even when wacky shit goes down it seems normal, especially since Harry is almost always experiencing it for the first time.

I don;t think GRRM breaks any of his own rules, really, but you do start to learn a lot more about the realm and about the story’s characters, which causes lots of doors to open, new things to happen, etc.

welker caught it at about his own 20, shoved the defender out of the way, and walked in.

Welker can be the ultimate possession receiver
on a team like the Pats, but DJK can’t even make a practice squad. Still blows my mind.

&, of course,
My fantasy opponent this week who was ALREADY killing me has BOTH Brady AND Welker.
Good thing my week was lost yesterday. If I’d had hope going into tonight & then this happened, well, probably best not to talk about it. What a godawful sports weekend.

So here's my dilemma.
Start Game of Thrones, or start Dexter season 5? I think if I start GoT maybe I should wait til the DVDs are out…
id read the game of thrones books first
i started dexter and quit, not sure what to tell you there
this game is boring, put in Tebus and Pryor

remember during preseason
when it was reported tebow was being outplayed by adam weber?
id find a new line of work if adam weber was ahead of me on the depth chart
well Weber is on the PS and Tebow on the roster
so that might have been premature, but he was definitely losing 2nd team snaps to Brady Quinn.

I know we agreed not to talk about Iowa football
but was anyone else pissed the announcers never once mentioned Greenwood Saturday? Admittedly, I wasn’t listening real closely but I expected they would say something.
"There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy." -Mark Rippetoe
That requires they actually do their homework...
And who really does that now a days? Plus there really wasn’t much to report. Details are still sketchy.
Gotcha
Yea, I know there probably isn’t a ton, but I figured there were probably some people who probably hadn’t even heard about it. Not to mention, I hadn’t heard anything much more than the initial report, and I figured if anybody would be able to find out, maybe the media would…but as you said, they were probably dunces.

I enjoyed Pat McAfee trying to tackle Jacoby Jones on that punt return yesterday.

Peyton is out of the hospital
and it sounds like it’s going to be hard to keep him off the field all year. Requested they take the bone graft needed for the surgery from his hip rather than using bone from a cadaver because while it’s far more painful the recovery time is shorter for the graft taken from the hip.

he doesn’t see the field this year. While Peyton practically runs that organization, they would be wise to sit him for the season.

I think you're overestimating their personnel
The OL has lots of holes that Manning tended to get around by getting rid of the ball quickly. The defense outside of Freeney and Mathis is, well, not good.
"There are few things graven in stone, except that you have to squat or you're a pussy." -Mark Rippetoe
the OL is young, so should improve
Brackett, Powers and Bethea are excellent defensive players. Moala, Nevis and Angerer have tons of potential. I don’t think they’ll be better than .500 without Peyton, but I think they can beat some bad teams and maybe steal a game or two.
