Monday Morning Thoughts

Ah, nothing like the back end of a vacation throttling a Monday. Short week ahead! Now onto many a thought...

... The Patriots secured homefield throughout the playoffs, meaning the annual Divisional Round loss in front of the home fans is just under 2 weeks away. I'm sure it'll be the Steelers this year, which will be maddening. When that happens, the internet may well combust from the string of obscenities I'll be throwing up on this blog...

... Rob Bolden looked so fucking putrid yesterday that I actually longed for the halcyon days of Jon Sacca and Wally Richardson. Oh, and Penn State needs a coach, umm... now. Please stop fucking around with all of these NFL retreads, if it's not gonna be Munchak, then get back to the college ranks. Just fucking hire Tim Murphy already and let's try and restore some shine to the university...

... Tree of Life is the most retarded, over-the-top, pretentious movie I've seen since Waking Life. I read afterward that Sean Penn was furious over the result and I definitely agree with him. Half the fucking movie is whispering over artsy shots that look borrowed from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It is a horrendous trainwreck of a movie that feels like it should be showing at some nouveau-riche art gallery. If anyone wins anything at the Oscars for this movie, everyone in the Academy should be shot...

... Let the "RG3 is better than Luck" talk begin. It's wrong, but it's going to happen. Luck played a better schedule and everyone fails to mention (omission by design in this case) that down the stretch, against the meat of their schedule, Luck didn't have his top target in Owusu. He got knocked out in the first quarter of the USC game, then tried to return too soon from a neck injury the very next week and was almost immediately injured against Oregon State. So the performances that Luck has been crucified for (USC, Oregon, ND, probably last night), were the games where he did not have his go-to WR, the only NFL-level (and marginal at that) threat he had on the outside. He's the once-in-a-generation talent that he was tagged as two years ago, not RG3.
