Football Fandom Free Agency: Extended signing Period.

Ok, so that was pointless. I conceived of this entire process to find a new team to root for besides the Seattle Seahawks, and then they go out and put together the best draft of anybody.  Seattle was able to draft for need in the first round and got 2 brand new starters in Okung and Thomas. Then they pickup one of my favorite player in the draft, Golden Tate in the 2nd round.  I'm iffy on the trades for veteran running backs, but frankly I think running backs are a disposable position. It doesn't matter who the back is until he's 5 yards down field, up till that point it;s 85% on the offensive line. There is one exception to that, the 3rd and short back, that can pound for  that needed extra yard after he's been stopped at the line of scrimage. And in theory that is what Lendale White does best. Leon Washington is the quintessential, "after the 1st 5 yards back," because after 5 yards he is a threat to take it to the house every time.  So they got the perfect yin yang tandem in that regard, but it;s not like they didn't have thsi before with Justin Forsett and Tj Duckett.
        No matter how good the Seahawk's draft was, it can't overcome Charlie Whitehurst. He's going to have to go Tony Romo for me to like him, and then I only liked Tony Romo in the first place because his name is Tony.
         To be honest I'm more excited about the Seahawks signing Reggie Williams and MIke Williams, I loved both of those wide receivers in college and would like to see them make a comeback in the NFL.
      I was really rooting for Jacksonville to do something exciting but they just  dumbfounded everyone. Jack Del Rio needs to go. Chicago had a fist fight in the war room and didn't have  pick in the first 3 rounds.
        The dolphins I'm impressed with. The Ravens drafted well as always. The raiders traded for Jason Campbell and Dumped Jamarcus Russell, so they aren't even gansta anymore, just kind of ghetto.  If someone signs Russell and he wins a starting Job, that would proabaly win my fandom.
       Looks likes I'm going to be a training camp hold out.

I am a Football Fan Free Agent.
I will be declaring my new Football Fandom Alegence after the NFL Draft this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. All 32 teams are still in contention for my fandom,
However there are  a few slight front runners at the moment. These are in no particular order:


Cincinnati Bengals: I've always liked the uni's and my favorite animal since I  was 3 is tigers.

Kansas City Chiefs: My wife's favorite team, and I am in Missouri. But I have hated the Chiefs forever.

St. Louis Rams: I'm only like an hour and a half from ST Louis so I will be inundated with Rams coverage anyway, why resist?  I'm NOT a Fan of Sam Bradford, but if they don't take him and do something exciting like trade for Mike Vick, that would probably entice me. But they will draft Sam.

 Jacksonville Jaguars: I attempted  to be a Jaguars fan back in 1994 when the came into existence. It was just too hard to fallow a small market team in Florida when I lived in the Northwest, before  NFL.com and DirecTV.  I was never a big Tebow fan but if he goes or rather stays home, that could be interesting.

New Orleans Saints: Love Brees, Love Bush, Love the WRs, Love Payton, Love the Black and Gold,  but the bandwagon is overflowing and you can't start rooting for a team right after they win the SuperBowl.

Dallas Cowboys: Tony Romo makes me consider changing my name to Tony Toso. Lots of fantasy team players.  It is America's team so  location isn't an issue.  But Jerry Jones  plays the villain so well it's more fun to root against him.

Washington Redskins: Only because they got McNabb.

Any suggestions??
Why do you root for your team?

World greatest poem Ever!!!!

4/20/2010

In honor of April being National Poetry Month, the ThinkTank Panel (of One) has produced the greatest work of poetic transcendence since Shakespeare's 38th sonnet.
Cowboys wear shoes with spurs

A kitten purrs

Carlos likes tacos

He eats them at Pacos

Almost doesn’t rhyme with much

But that’s Ok so long as it doesn’t touch

sharp objects,

like scissors

And Rob Beck’s

arm was bitten by Lizards

Gizzards

Hanging from a chicken

just prime for picking

worms

out of the ground they squirm

Just like your mother’s perm

done at the salon

by Captain Ron

Not Cap’n Crunch

Kurt Russell

Time for lunch

We’re having Brussel

sprouts

Shouts

go up from the crowd


of turtles so loud

you’d swear they were tortoseses

Can you loan me 2 quarterses

That’s 50 cent


to pay the rent

But I live in my car

with my guitar

I’m going to be a star

if I worship gwar

But gwar don’t pay for tickets

So in the mean time I just lick it’s

ice cream cone

from Dairy Queen

I let out a groan

when I punctured my spleen

 So if it’s a liver your looking for

Don’t ask me

Ain’t got mine no more

I sold it for three

hundred pounds


of pixie sticks

The ball rolled out of bounds

and was popped by toothpicks

that I didn’t notice

while skating the iron lotus

domino, on the web

or so said , my aunt Deb-

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Or so it sounds

When her children call her


from 7 pitcher’s mounds

I can see home plate

and the umpire too

I brought fishing bait

to catch a blue

trout

or maybe a salmon

In Jamaica we be Jamm’n

In basktball we be slamm’n

Ok, no dunk

We can’t jump

You tried this Big Hunk?

that peanut infested nougat lump

But who needs candy when you can have pizza

like Papa John’s daily special “Meatsa”


Extra cheese

Lots of topping

And swarms of bees

hover horse’s droppings

Twitterpated

 Let me go on the record officially here:
 "I invented twitter!!!"
I did it in 1995.
 Yes, it was done in a spiral notebook with a #2 pencil, but the concept was the same.

I was in 8th grade sitting in class bored to tears, and naturally my mind would wonder. So I started writing all these random thoughts that came to mind. And the brilliant thing about it was the teachers all  thought I was taking notes on everything they said since I was always writing in class. Sometimes they were just verbalized impulses like "I'm hungry" or "This sucks". Other times they were finely or not so finely crafted lyrical epithets or astute observations of the surrounding world and it's workings.
Then I would pass the notebook around to my friends to read it. And before long Adam and Von and Carlos and Casey and Brandon and Josh Sheely were all writing thunks. Josh and Brandon's version got them suspended, not because of the book it;s self or the thunks, but because their thinks I've Thunk Book contained incriminating evidence of things they did that were suspension worthy.  Just like the idiots that commit crimes and then tweet about it or post a video of it on youtube.

So you can see I did invent Twitter. I just didn't have the technology to disseminate my thunks  in real time. No one did. It was 1995!  

In 1995 the internet was still something you could only do when no one was expecting a phone call.  The only browser in existence was Netscape. 90% of the people on  twitter have never even heard of Netscape because it vanished from existence sometime in 1999. In 1995 you got to see your webpage download one 3 pixel width line at a time. When someone said "It'll just take a few minutes to download the webpage"  the other person would reply  "Wow that AOL version 2.0 is great."


So yes, I did invent Twitter. At least the concept anyway, I don't pretend to have  written computer code or anything like that. I would contest this civilly in court for the billions of dollars I am rightfully due. Unfortunately my original thinks I've thunk books have long since been destroyed.  Done so for my own protection. I never forgot the plight of Brandon and Josh from that year, and as I matured me it became expedient that I should rid myself of such a poignent example of my former immaturity. I mean I was 15 what do your think was on my mind and how would it look to have that associated with me now. High school yearbooks are bad enough, they only show the outside of a person. My thinks I;ve thunk books go straight to where my soul would have been had I of had one at the time.   Also I tended to write more than 140 characters worth per thought. But that only goes to show I invented the blog as well.

At any rate I have decided not to challenge the empire that is Twitter. I prefer to think of Twitter as my free gift to humanity. And unlike the "Real Napster" as portrayed by Seth Green in the Italian Job, I reserve no Twitter title for myself. Instead I shall now dedicate my life to the task I inadvertently took up over half my life ago; bringing Thinks I've Thunk to the World. And if Twitter contributes to making it be so, so be it!
