Speaking of the draft, I've seen mock drafts (yes I'm already scouting out mock drafts) and a lot of them show Denver picking LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson. I don't know what to think about that. Denver's defense could have had Champ and Darrelle Revis as corners and it wouldn't matter when there is no pressure on the QB. I'm still thinking we need to bolster the defensive line and get a solid pass rusher. If, however, we could swing a trade for Albert Haynesworth and getting back a healthy Dumervil, now a stud cornerback is starting to sound better. It will be interesting to see what happens but the news that Carolina will absolutely take Andrew Luck with the first pick is good because we don't have to worry about drafting another QB in the first round and letting the top defensive players go to other teams.
I'm also interested to see who the Broncos get for a head coach. I'm still on board with talking to Marty Schottenheimer (yes that same Marty that the Broncos always beat but also that Marty with a 61% winning percentage) but I'm hearing Jim Fassel, Mike Mularkey, and Jim Harbaugh's names being thrown around. Fassel and Mularkey surprise me a bit because those guys are both offensive guys and we've been there and done that. Same for Harbaugh but he's the hot name right now although college coaches never seem to succeed in the NFL. Oh and San Francisco, PLEASE hire McD because I'd love to see him trade Crabtree, Gore, and Willis and ruin that franchise.
About a week ago I decided that I want to see what I look like with a beard. Actually, I'm really interested to see if it comes in brown or grey. Angie has been taking pictures of me every day so I can see the progress (or lack thereof.) Pictures will be posted soon...stay tuned!
How things change when you get older and even more so when you have a kid (or kids.) As everyone knows last Friday was New Year's Eve. It never used to be hard to stay up until midnight to watch the ball drop and, most times, the party was just getting started. As you grow older you find yourself having to drink a lot of caffeine or play games to trick your mind/body into staying up late. Some of us (ahem *Dad* ahem) even resort to napping from 10 until 11:55. This past week I didn't even make it to New York's celebration. I should say that Angie and I have been trying to fight off a nasty hybrid cold that baby girl brought home from day care, although she seems to be doing fine thank you (and amoxicillin) very much, but we couldn't make it until 10. What's the big deal anyway? There will be another one in 360 days.
I've talked to many friends that recommend "The King's Speech." Go see it.
I've heard from a few people that "Little Fockers" is filthy and not appropriate for kids/early teens despite the PG-13 rating. I say wait for DVD and after the kids are in bed.
Little girl got "Despicable Me" for Christmas and she LOVES it. As soon as she gets home from day care (heck as soon as she wakes up in the morning) she starts saying "Meat! Meat!" which means "Me" which means "Despicable Me." I wish they had a version that looped the movie non-stop so we didn't have to keep messing with the remote control to start it over. That being said I like the movie too and recommend it for kids and adults.
My Mom is retiring this week so she can prepare for her move to Senegal. Congrats Mom but we're sure going to miss you guys.
Our little one isn't even here yet and we didn't make it on New Years Eve either. We were asleep by 10:30.
ReplyDeleteI am super excited about Elway. He gets it.
I'll be looking forward to the show and tell of the beard.
