When Two Bad Shots on the PGA Tour Make You Believe You Should Be on Tour!!

The Players Championship 17th Hole

Richard H. Lee had one of those moments that all of us UNprofessional golfers have lived through. To be honest I am the king of the monster drive laying 60 yards from the pin and finishing with a double bogey. I am in no way comparing what I have done, to being on the 17th green of The Players Championship and misplaying back to back shots, but it makes you feel like you could make the PGA Tour. I think I enjoy watching players struggle and hit bad shots more than I like watching good golf.

I hope that Lee just shook off the two bad shots, went to the clubhouse and took two Fireball shots and went to the bank and cashed his $20,000 check for FOUR days of golf.

Gif Tuesday – Habs Fans Throwing Trash at Milan Lucic After Game 6

Trash was flying at the Bell Centre.

Did someone say that Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadians have a seriously rivalry? Wednesday night will be the 9th Game 7 between these two teams and just like Shawn Thornton’s “squirt” of PK Subban this is going to fire up Milan Lucic and the rest of the Bruins. They should be fired up by their fairly embarrassing effort last night, I would hate to be the Canadians.

I could sit here and call the Habs fans classless, but again just like the racist Tweets it was a hand full of fans that were trying to goad Lucic into something. He didn’t bite and is now pissed. Bring on Wednesday. Bring on Game 7. Bring on the Big Bad Bruins. The Garden is going to be hopping and this is why winning the President’s Trophy was important.

P.S. Once the ref sees what happens how quick does he get out of there thinking all hell is going to break loose!

The New Aaron Rodgers and Seth Rogen ESPN Promo is Comedy Gold!

If you haven’t see the commercial yet, check it out below. Seth Rogen has no idea who Aaron Rodgers is and Zac Efron helps Rogen figure it out. I have to say that Rodgers is pretty awesome in all the commercials he has been. Do you remember Peyton Manning’s “Cut That Meat” commercial? Rodger’s is tossing out commercials as funny as that one, at will! All he needs to do is get on SNL and compete against Manning in a whole different type of game!

Gif Tuesday! Boston Bruins Finish the Red Wings in Five. Bring on The Habs!

Milan Lucic with the goal!

 

Bruins vs Canadians! It’s going to be a knock’em down type series!

I will have to say that I was surprised how easily the Bruins took down the Red Wings. I expected a 6 or 7 game series, but after that game 1 loss the Bruins just flat out took it to Detroit! That means the Montreal Canadians are next and I have to say that I expect the series to go 6 or 7 games. If you are a hockey fan then this is probably your Stanley Cup Final! The mix of physical play and natural abilities of both teams is going to be epic. Let’s just hope the Habs don’t have the refs on their sides like they did in the Lightening series.

Emergency Gif Tuesday! Holy Dwayne Wade Travel Batman!

WHAT. THE. HELL.

My brain doesn’t understand how that call is not made!

Gif Tuesday – Packers Coach Mike McCarthy’s Reaction of 49ers Game Winning FG

credit: http://www.bayareasportsguy.com

It’s the first Gif Tuesday of the New Year and I had to come out with the pain. Mike McCarthy’s reaction was the same exact reaction I had on Sunday. First, we think Davon House is going to block the FG, but no it goes between his arms! (wait, what????). Second, It looked like Dawson pushed it right. Third, not so much…Fuck. Season over…

Good season Packers, but the key to next year is can this team stay healthy?

Open Letter – Hannah Rose, Where are You??

Dear Hannah Banana,

Today is January 7th and we are only a few days from your due date. What can I say? You seemed like you wanted to show us your beautiful face a month ago and we were so excited! When the doctor told mommy that she was already 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced, not to mention the doctor also said you would be here early we were so excited and told anybody that would listen! Grandma, Papa and Nana all booked their flights to come see you because they knew you were coming soon. The following week the doctor said mommy was 3 cm and 70% effaced and we kept thinking you were going to be a Christmas baby. Grandma was getting worried because she was going to have to change her flight to be here to meet you. Christmas passed and everyone was saying how you were going to be the first baby of the New Year! We went to a party with some great friends, we even packed the car with all of our stuff for the hospital because we figured it was going to happen that night, being so far away from the hospital!

Needless to say no Christmas baby and no New Years baby, but guess what Hannah we are still very excited to meet you! I know you know that because I tell you every night. We tap each other through mommy’s belly, it’s like we are already having little wrestling matches. I love every second of it, but I am not going to lie I want to see that face, I want to hear you cry, I want to hold you and I want to protect you. I hope that you realize as you grow up every thing I do will be to make you be a strong woman.

Oh before I go, I have to tell you that of everyone that can’t wait to meet you, your brother Jacob is ready! He is going to be an amazing big brother to you. He also hugs and kisses you every night, I have a feeling he is going to protect you more than I will. Whenever mommy and daddy ask Jacob who he loves you are always on the top of the list! Not bad for a 4 year old who blacks out on Despicable Me and Cars. Jacob tells daddy that he can’t wait to play with his baby sister, but I have to explain that he is going to have to wait until you get stronger. Don’t be surprised if Jacob gets mad at you for stealing a little attention from him, he has been an only child for 4 and a half years and he is going to have to adjust. I promise you that he will always love you though.

Hannah, we’re ready. In the end it’s up to you as to when you are going to join our family, but please realize that 9 months is a long time to wait for your beautiful daughter. You will understand this one day (just not too soon!!!). Until I meet you I will continue dreaming about you. I haven’t even met you yet, but you have my heart. See you soon Hannah Banana!

Love

Daddy XOXO

P.S. I hope you like your changing table!!!

Green Bay Packers vs SF 49ers Wild Card Weekend Preview

 

Going into Monday November 4th’s divisional game with the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers were sitting on a 5-2 record looking like a team that was going to make a serious run at home field advantage in the NFC playoffs. Aaron Rodgers brought the Packers down the field on the opening drive and then settled for a field goal after being sacked by Shea McClellin. After that sack Rodgers went to the locker room and never came back in the game. The Packers fought the whole game, but ended up losing 27-20 when the defense couldn’t make a stop to give Seneca Wallace a chance to tie the game. The result of the game was bad, but the news on Rodgers was worse. Rodgers had a fractured collarbone and was expected to miss 6-8 weeks. Rodgers ended up missing 7 games and the Packers went 2-4-1 over those 7 games. Rodgers came back against the Bears in week 17 and lead the Packers on a 4th quarter touchdown drive that put the Packers into the playoffs thanks to a TON of help from the Bears and Detroit Lions.

* Lions finished the season by going 1-6 (including losses to TB Buccaneers, NY Giants and the Minnesota Vikings)

* Bears finished the season 3-5 after the win against the Packers on November 4th

The Packers are going to miss Jolly’s run stopping ability

That is how we got to the Green Bay Packers winning the NFC North and hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. The 49ers have beat the Packers pretty handily over the last 3 games; week 1 in 2012, NFC Wild Card playoffs 2012 and week 1 this year. The 49ers believe they own the Packers and it is easy to understand why. If you add in the fact that the Packers will be without the “playmaker” Clay Matthews and an important run stopper Johnny Jolly the 49ers should be favored and they are, by 2.5 points (the last I saw). What is it going to take for the the Packers to beat the 49ers on Sunday in sub-zero temperatures?

Keys to Winning

1. The Packers need to embrace the cold on Sunday. As of right now the forecast is called for a high of -6 and low of -20.  The players need to show that they are the ones that play in Green Bay and not let the 49ers get comfortable. The best case scenario would be to win the coin toss, take the ball and put together a long opening drive and keep the 49ers offense on the sidelines trying to stay warm.

The Packers fans do not want to see Kaepernick doing this at Lambeau

2. Stop Colin Kaepernick from running. Yes, Kapernick threw for over 400 yards in the week 1 match-up, but the weather is going to make it hard to pass and that will help the Packers defense. Without Jolly and Matthews the task of stopping Kaepernick is going to tough. AJ Hawk is going to have to step up even more than he has and have a career game. The defense is going to need to keep outside containment and stay in their lanes. This is going to be a tough task.

3. The Packers need to stick with the run and wear down the 49ers defense. Once the 49ers put an extra man in the box the Packers can pull out the play action and have the 49ers guessing in the second half. Eddie Lacy and James Starks are a great 1-2 punch and they need to show it on Sunday. If the Packers can win the turnover battle, then they can win the game.

Player of the Game

AJ Hawk needs to have a career game

For the Packers to win this game the defense is going to have to play a perfect game. AJ Hawk will need to be the leader he has been all season and more. I am not expecting the one handed interception like he had against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but I expect a forced fumble, double digit tackles and a sack.

Prediction

The winner of the game between the 49ers and Packers will go to the Super Bowl. I see a low scoring game with the Packers pulling out the victory 24-20.
