Super Bowl Prediction – Colts 45, Saints 27

February 7th, 2010

I’m rooting for the Saints but I think the Colts are going to blow out the Saints. I don’t think anyone can stop Manning.

The Sad Truth About Online Personals Sites

February 6th, 2010

Having spent some time working in the online personals biz and having used most all of the sites both personally and professionally, I can tell you that the following joke ad from College Humor is dead on. It’s especially true for the smaller sites like the ones that have the racy ads on Facebook.

Your best best is sticking with the major players like Yahoo, Match, and eHarmony (personally I dislike eHarmony, but it works for a lot of people). Some of the niche sites are OK too, like JDate.

A Beautiful Winter Day in San Francisco

January 16th, 2010

It’s always nice to break up the work day to take a stroll through the Financial District to the pier. Wednesday was a particularly nice day.

This shot is a view of the Ferry Building and Coit Tower. It was taken with an iPhone 3GS.

How ’bout them Cowboys!

The Cowboys soundly defeated the Eagles 34-14 to win their first playoff game since 1996. This is their 2nd victory over the Eagles in as many weeks and their 3rd victory over the Eagles this season.

With Marion Barber sidelined early, Felix Jones had a monster of a game with 16 rushes for 148 yards, 1 reception for 30 yards, and 2 kick returns for 29 yards.

Minnesota is next. That looks to be a much tougher game.

How ’bout them Cowboys!

Another December Win! In The Playoffs! How ‘Bout Them Cowboys!

December 27th, 2009

With a 17 to 0 win over the Redskins, the Cowboys are now guaranteed at least a wild-card spot in the playoffs. They play the Eagles next week for a shot a the NFC East title and a home playoff game.

Dad And I Had Fun At The Emerald Bowl

December 27th, 2009

USC beat Boston College 24 to 13 on a chilly, rainy day at AT&T Park in San Francisco.

We had great seats behind the BC bench on the 45-yard line, 29 rows up.

It was competitive into the 3rd quarter when USC ran away with the game.

Two More Reasons Why TCU and Boise State are Stuck Playing Each Other

December 24th, 2009

The lowly Mountain West is killing the mighty Pac 10.

The top 3 teams in the Mountain West (TCU, BYU, and Utah), along with Boise State in the WAC, are probably better than the top 3 teams in the Pac 10, Big 10, Big East, ACC, and maybe even the Big 12, with the exception of Texas. Alabama and Florida in the SEC would probably fair well too, but we’ll never know for sure thanks to the fraudulent pairing of TCU against Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl.

December Win! Cowboys 24, Saints 17

December 19th, 2009

Finally, the Cowboys get a win in December to keep them alive for a shot at the playoffs.

Dallas started the game playing like they were pissed off with something to prove. They got up on the previously undefeated Saints 14-0 in the first quarter. The intensity let off later in the first half, but they did enough to hang on for a win. Nick Folk missed another field goal that would have put the Cowboys up by 10 with time running out. Fortunately DeMarcus Ware stopped a last-minute drive with a forced fumble on Drew Breese with 6 seconds left to play.

How ’bout them Cowboys!
