Not so Super Sunday

OK, gotta catch up on some things.  First is the Lex take on the non-Super Super Bowl.  Except for those invested in one of teams participating in it, and those in a pool holding the numbers 3 and 8, by about 2 minutes in, the game became a bit of a distraction to the day’s cooking, pinball playing and pool shooting activities.

Clearly, Seattle showed up ready to play and Denver did not.  Yeah, I know, “What insight!  Sign that guy up as an analyst for ESPN!”  Short of saying Seattle is 50 points better than Denver, there’s no other way to explain it.  I don’t think you’ll ever see a 50 point spread on a game in the NFL.  The most is, what, 21 points?  So how else can it be explained?  The guy I really feel bad for is guy who had Denver and 34 ½ points.

But there were some good tweets.  Funniest was a picture of OJ Simpson during his slow speed chase in his white Bronco with the caption, best run ever by a Bronco ever.

First runner up:  What did your microwave popcorn and the SB have in common?  Both were done in just over a minute.

Second runner up:  Use the promo code PEYTON when ordering a Papa Johns pizza & when it’s delivered to your house, a Seattle DB will take it from you & eat it.

As bad as the game was, it paled in comparison to having to watch King SFB lie his pathetic azz off for 10 minutes with O’Really.  This wasn’t O’Really’s fault.  He asked good questions.  What are you going to do with a king that lies so naturally?  When King Douche said he called the attack on Benghazi a terror attack on the day after it happened, I wanted to throw a bucket of  warm excrement retrieved from a Marine slit trench after taco night on a three week field op in the silly lie machine's face.  He probably wouldn't have noticed.  Only two people in the history of the entire world are stupid enough to believe that BS - the king and CNN’s human blister bag Candy is some going to make another Tim Horton’s run Crowley.  The obvious follow up for Billy would have been, “Then why were you touting and apologizing for some silly video as the cause on the View and to the UN two weeks later?”

The only thing more sickening than the interview itself is O’Really’s week long, hours long tribute to himself for doing such a remarkable job.  O’Really’s nightly fascination with himself is the journalistic equivalent of Richard Sherman’s outburst after the 49ers game.  The difference is that Sherman’s self serving proclamation ended in about 30 seconds.  O’Really’s goes on hour after hour, night after a night, year after year.  This is the The O’Really Factor summed up in two sentences, “But enough about what you think about what we brought you on the show to talk about.  What do you think about what I think about what we brought you on the show to talk about?”

Now here’s the really big news.  Ft. Wayne was hit with another 10” of global warming last night and it’s still coming down at the rate of an inch an hour.  That will make this the 2^nd snowiest winter on record.  Jan set a record for 11 days where the temp. didn’t top zero.  So yeah, I truly believe there is something to this global warming BS.

And while Big Sis and the rest of the south came to a total stand still, abandoning their cars and “sheltering in place” for a week over a lousy 2 ½ inches of snow, the mid west - in addition to the half dozen or so 4-6 inch storms - has already been hit with storms of 12, 16, 14 and now 10+ inches digs out and continues to march.  And if that wasn’t enough, there was an ice storm on Saturday before the non-Super Super Bowl.  But yeah, to be honest, I’m sick of it.  At this point, a move south is beginning to look like a good thing.
