Super Bowl Prediction

Now, I know this won't be earth shattering or anything, but my prediction for the Super Bowl is this:
The New England Patriots will beat the New York Giants.
Score: 35-17

I know most people don't like the Patriots but I will be rooting for them because I can't stand Eli Manning. He acts like a whiny little baby girl. He was drafted #1 by the San Diego Chargers and then refused to play for them demanding a trade. So the Chargers traded him. The Chargers are actually better than the Giants but they are in different divisions so that's why the Giants are in the Super Bowl. The last two weeks have been more important than the Super Bowl. S.D. vs Indianapolis and S.D vs New England were the true Super Bowls. Go Patriots Defense!! Sack Sack That Quarterback!!
Here's a picture of Eli doing what he does best. Nothing.

The Only Reason to Root for the Patriots...

...is Eli Manning making the Super Bowl. Go Patriots!!

GO CHARGERS!!

Show me your lightning bolt!

FIRE KARL DORRELL

I'm so freaking mad and frustrated. AAAAGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Briefs

1. My wife is going to Winter Formal tonight. That sounds weird. She is chaperoning for the High School she teaches at. I'm staying home with Grace.
2. I played Guitar Hero for the first time last night. That stuff is fun.
3. The Pro Bowl is the lamest game ever.
4. Some African missionaries from our church say that they think it's fine to go to Kenya even with the Travel Advisory. Others who have been to Kenya recently agreed. The people from Christ's Hope think it's fine too. We shall see.
5. I have been reading a lot lately. I need to update my reading list because my Ph.D. program is completely altering my current reading. A few of the current books: Friendship and the Moral Life - Wadell. Integrative Theology - Lewis and Demarest. Wasting Time with God - Issler.
6. A Barack update will be coming soon with some revelations about radical Muslim connections.
7. I preach in Elevation on Feb 18, Feb 25, April 22, April 29, and May 6.
8. Our church just hired Gary McIntosh as a consultant and he will be observing on April 22. As you saw above, I am speaking that day. Yikes!
9. I am directing at Elevation tomorrow. It's kind of fun. I work in the Tech Booth once a month or so as a director to make sure that the people running lights, sound, video, PowerPoint, recording, and that they are all doing their jobs at the right time and in the right way. I like it. It probably has something to do with my issues with control, but I also know what's going on in the service potentially better than anybody else (a few of us could be described this way) so it makes sense to have me back there.
10. Grace has been sick a lot lately and I feel so bad for our sweet little girl.
11. We are going to Maui on March 3 for a week and I can't wait.
12. Then we are going to Vancouver Island on April 9 for a week and that is going to be awesome too.
13. I love Light Ruffles - Cheddar and Sour Cream flavor. They are awesome and not horrible for you. Fat Free. 15 chips for one point for any WeightWatchers people.
14. We find out the gender of our baby next Friday. WOOHOO!!

Post-Super Bowl Weigh-In

Alright, here's the verdict. After a day of Super Bowl gluttony I weigh...

174.6 pounds

That's a weight gain of 1.8 pounds in one day. Frightening. Time to get back to work.

Pre-Super Bowl Weigh-In

Alright, I weighed in this morning just for the experiment.
I weigh 172.8 pounds. Same as last week. Kind of bummed because I was really good this week and I thought it would be at least a pound lower.

I decided long ago that the diet won't exist for the Super Bowl Party I'm going to today. So we shall see what I weigh tomorrow morning after a day of gluttony.

I Lost

I lost in the first round of the playoffs in my Fantasy Football league. My team quit on me and my opponent was dominant. So I guess I play for third place next week. Third out of twelve isn't bad, but I would way rather win. I'm such a geek for Fantasy Football. I love it. It's kind of sad really, but it's fun.

GO UCLA in the Emerald Bowl tomorrow!! Woooo!!!!!!
