Breakfast with Glenn and Steve - A Conspiracy of Omelets


The booths in The Good Egg are lacquered hard wood without cushions or covers.  The tabletops are Formica edged with brushed metal.  Plastic salt and pepper shakers flank a bowl of creamers and a small, rectangular plastic container with disheveled white, yellow, pink and blue packets of sweeteners sits on every table.  The walls are dotted with watercolor seascapes featuring lighthouses or ships under sail.  Three friends occupy a booth near the back.  They consider their menus as their fresh coffee cools in large ceramic mugs.

Buffaloney


As the Good Doctor once said, “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” So tell me, who had the NFC West as the best division in the NFL, 2012 edition?

Game of the Beast

When I predicted in the preseason that this Houston vs. New York game would be the game that Tim Tebow came off the bench and led the Jets to a comeback win that would send Mark Sanchez to the bench, I had no idea that it would be the 666th Monday Night Football game. Let's face it, if there was ever a football team that needed Jesus to save them, it's the 2012 New York Jets. So, who you got? Yahweh or Mr. Scratch?

Sunday Morning Sweats


The Broncos seem to have Hall of Famers up and down the roster. Even though I’ve seen this before – Bill Belichick penning love letters to Peyton Manning and Champ Bailey, Tom Brady tossing plaudits at Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil – I can’t help succumb to the feelings of fear, uncertainty and dread engendered by the realization that Belichick and Brady are right about this Broncos team. Oh, the fact the Brady Bunch hung 40+ on this Broncos’ defense the last two times they’ve played? Thankfully I have straw to cling to in this whirlwind.

Perhaps some ukulele music to cheer me up…

Putting September in the Rear View


No, it’s not too late, even if you’re 0-4-0. Well, unless you’re 0-4-0 and you’re the Cleveland Browns. In that case, yeah, too late.

It Got Better


It was as a beautiful autumn day in New England. Good times.

So many pigskin heroes for the Patriots on Sunday. No, they won’t score 50+ points every Sunday and yes, they did give up 28 points and had more than a few shaky moments on defense but I’m going to roll in this one like a dog with a dead fish.
