I've been reading a lot about Nick Collins injury - scary stuff. One report said "If you look at the replay tape carefully, you will see a slight bend in Collins' neck when he impacts Stewart. That type of involuntary motion to the neck, delivered by an impact at speed, can cause a narrowing of the spinal canal and permanently increase the risk of paralysis from a recurring injury".
I doubt we will ever see Nick Collins play football again which . . for HIM this is a good thing. The average life expectancy of an NFL player is 55 years. Collins is very very lucky he was not paralyzed.
Looking at the injury list is crazy with Packer/former Packers/Badger players
Lee Evans
Aaron Kampman (again)
Al Harris
Jim Leonhard
Josh Bidwell
Before people get all worried about the Packer defense. ALL the NFL teams are having trouble. This looks like Canadian football. Green Bay is ranked 20th in Defense efficiency right behind Minnesota after 2 games. The Bears are 17th. BUT the Packers are #2 on offense and actually #1 in rushing offense. #1 you ask? The reason is that when the Packers rush they ALWAYS achieve their goal. It's not quantity yard but quality yards.
The Bears? #29 on offense.

TV - I LIKE TV.
2 Broke Girls is pretty good with some peppy repartee' and an interesting story.
If you have a chance it's a nice comedy. I liked Unforgettable
New Girl - I have always liked Zooey Deschanel but for some reason the show did not make it for me - she was good and I'll have to watch episode #2 as pilots (not piglets) are always a little over the topish with acting.
I have not see Person of Interest or Terra Nova yet.
Of course the BIG news on TV is that this is the last week for All My Children and it's been interesting to see how they are all coming together and saying good bye to people that have been in our homes for 40 years!
One last TV thing - the rock group Cake. What a bunch of ass holes they are. I saw them on the Audience Channel and I tell ya - the lead singer is just a POS in my book.

Have a great day.

I like TV too! I haven't seen any new shows yet except the first half of Person of Interest (didn't get hooked). I plan on watching the Zooey D thing but forgot to record it. And like you said, pilots usually aren't much good. I'm interested to see if Ted Danson brings some of the fun back to CSI. I like my gory murder with a light touch.
ReplyDeleteI liked 2 broke girls too...also Zooey on New Girl
ReplyDeletecan't wait for Fringe and Justified....will check out some other new shows too
have you seen the trailer for "The Rum Diary" looks like awesome fun
