Entourage: Round 2

Yep, I did it again. I just finished going through the five seasons of Entourage. And it was just as the good the second time if not better. I do not know how I am going to wait for season six to come out on dvd. Best show on television bar none.
Here are my hopes for season six. That the writing and dialogue continue to knock my socks off. That for once Vince actually finishes a good movie. If they screw up the Scorsese movie I will be pissed. That Eric and Sloan make attempt to get back together. That Turtle and Jamie continue to work even though it makes Drama sick. But having them all in relationships could be a little boring. That Drama continues to be an idiot and provide me with lots of laughs. That the Murphy Groups gets more clients. That Ari continues to go off on everything. Some of the best lines I've ever heard. That the show never, ever gets rid of Lloyd. That Dana Gordon bounces back from the Smoke Jumpers disaster and that she continues to be a good part of the show. And that this show never ends. Its so good. Let's hug it out b*#@h!

The Real Boss Of The Dorm

3 for 3

My pick for the game: 28-17 win
Actual score: 23-3 win

The good news is that I am 3 for 3 on picks so far for the Broncos. The bad news is that if I continue to be right, the Broncos will still suck. But I will take a 3-0 start any day. Let's just hope we can manage to do better than 3-10 the rest of the way. The offense has been alright and can get so much better, and the defense continues to amaze everyone. Passing game was bit lacking today, but we ran the ball like the Broncos of old. Almost had two 100 yard rushers. Pretty good week. And the Packers did pretty well against the Rams. Like it when my boy's are happy. Well on to the breakdown.

Yes- to a Bronco ground game that continues to churn out yards. 215 to be exact. Buckhalter breaks a hundred and Moreno powered, spinned, and juked his way to 91 and a score. The rookie is looking good and Buckhalter is a great back when healthy. Now lets see if we can run the ball against teams that actually have a defense.

No- to not getting Moreno a 100 yards. Lamont Jordan sucks, don't care if he played for the Patriots and knows the system. He still sucks.

Yes- to holding the Raiders to 137 total yards. Easier to do when Jamarcus Russell couldn't hit Gilbert Brown for a pass if he was five yards away and wide open(Brown wouldn't catch it anyways). But we also held them to less than a 100 yards rushing. Great show defense. But with Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and San Diego looming, they will be tested.

No- to not being able to take it in from the 5 yard line on 4 tries.

Yes- to Elvis still being in the building. 2 more sacks.

No- To kicking field goals instead of scoring touchdowns.

Yes- to Kyle Orton making it through 3 weeks and still no turnovers.

No- to Buckhalter coughing up our first turnover of the season

Yes- to the Broncos causing four turnovers. DJ Williams and Brain Dawkins combo on their force and recovery was sick and nasty.

No- to the explosive Eddie Royal getting one catch. Are you kidding me?

Yes- to getting Brandon Marshall more involved. Even got him a touchdown.

No- to the middle of the field being open all day and not exploiting it more. Every time we had a receiver or tight end there it coverage by a backer. But the running game was working.

Yes- to throwing a screen pass to 260 lbs Daniel Graham. Worked like a charm.

No- to that crappy field the Raiders play on during the baseball season.

Yes- to a great Bronco win

No- to Drew Brees killing me in fantasy

Yes- To the Pack getting a much needed win over the Rams.

No- To Johnny Jolly recovery a fumble and blocking a field goal. All after Rock dropped him. :(

Yes- to picking the Jets, Lions, and Bengals for wins this week. Boom.

No- to just randomly throwing up. Yep, just did, had no clue it was coming. Weird.

All in all it was a pretty good sunday. Didn't really like having to put up with the parade all day, but still got the whole Bronco game in. Would just be nice to actually get to sit and enjoy a sunday in front of my beautiful tv, with my sunday ticket, and new comfy chair. One of these days. And about Pierre Thomas, I am big guy and will admit I'm an idiot. Thank you Caleb. I also just wanted to say the Raiders a terrible franchise. Until they get rid of Al Davis they will suck. Jamarcus Russell is terrible, horrible, and frighteningly bad. Its so sad to see a talent like McFadden wasting away there. They just need to cut the Raiders as a franchise in the NFL and let Cabe and I start a new one. I think that is very reasonable. People from down south can continue to wear there jersey's and cheer for them. They would never know they don't exist anymore anyways. Everybody wins. Maybe even some of the southerners would go back south. Raiders are the only thing holding them here aren't they?

Yes Quirt and Rock, I Am Your Father

One to Lincoln, One to India

Big huge yes to Caleb moving to Lincoln. I now have something to do with my new weekends off. Exciting!

Big huge no to Ryan going to India and losing his kidney, liver, and limbs to the black market. I really liked the guy. Depressing.


ps. I really hope you have an awesome time Ryan and its everything you'd hoped it would be and more. Just make sure before you leave to give me all your best players in fantasy.

If Your Team Sucks... Play The Browns

My pick for the game: 24-13 win
Actual score: 27-6 win
We scored more and held them to less. I like it.

Maybe, just maybe the Broncos might actually have a defense this year. The Bengals and Browns are not good, but last year it didn't matter. A Pop Warner team coulda scored on the Broncos last year. So the improvement being witnessed is pretty sweet. I still don't believe the Broncos are a good football team and I still stand by my 6 wins prediction. Its just nice to see them win a couple of games. Now would the Bears please lose every game here on out, so we can get a decent draft pick. And thanks for the advice Caleb, but I'll stick with yes/no format. You can keep your plus and minuses. Good post about the Packers btw. Sucks when 16-0 slips through your fingers. Broncos are still on pace though. Enough rambling, on to the quick hits.

Yes- to the Broncos holding the Browns to 200 yards of total offense and just six points.

No- To Peyton Hillis fumbling the opening kickoff.

Yes- To Elvis Dumervil and his four sacks. This 3-4 might work after all and it appears that LB agrees with Elvis.

No- To limited touches for Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal. Why can't we get these guys the ball? And why did Marshall sit out most of the first half?

Yes- To 449 yards of total offense, especially almost 200 in rushing. Moreno looked good and Buckhalter even better.

No- To Kyle Orton completing barely 50% of his passes. 19-37.

Yes- Still no turnovers for Orton. Incredible. He is doing what he needs to do to not lose the game. Would like to see him do more to go out and win it.

No- An offense that put up 449 yards but is still struggling to find its rhythm. I just have this feeling that it can be explosive. Maybe I'm dreaming. Don't know if I can ever be comfortable with Orton.

Yes- To an improving defense.

Yes- The fact that I am running out of NO's is a good sign. Broncos played very well, but again I am very skeptical and will wait to see how the Broncos fair in future weeks. I think we can get a win in Oakland on Sunday, but after that its gonna get pretty dicey. We will see if this defense is really improved or just looking good against bad teams.

Blue 42, Red 11, NZ 17, RCFQ, and then the closet opens

Football, card games, Nazi Zombies, best entourage ever, and getting played like a fool. Sounds like a great weekend to me. And yes, yes it was. Just wanna say that I have great friends and we have awesome times together.
The weekend started off with me being super pissed at my boy Ryan for not coming to our planned weekend. Ya, he and Caleb played me like their best game of madden and got me good. Ryan jumped out of the closet and made me poop my pants right there. With that start how can you not have a good weekend.
Many may find that hours spent playing video games is a waste, but after we transformed Shawna's living with four tv's and four xbox's it was the ultimate man cave. Big shout out to Shawna for letting us make a mess of her apartment. You go girl! Nazi Zombies kept stymieing us after lever 17, but Caleb and I dominated in madden with our sick/nasty created football team. To much fun. In between and during we fit in a season and a half of Entourage. Ryan and I are still working on Caleb to keep watching. It gets so good buddy. But we didn't just vegetate the whole weekend. Thursday saw us mess around on the basketball court out behind the apartment. Friday found us playing football. Saturday we went out for a picnic and then to mini golf in the evening. Man, I just wanna go do this all over again. Best part of the whole weekend was Sunday morning football, where da boy's did their thing. Not saying we dominated or anything, but we represented. Caleb blocked so well, the Packers called to have him replace the entire Packer O-line. If you don't believe me, just watch their game against the Bengals. That was the only downer of the weekend. Ryan overcame an early drop to sign his name in the middle zone of the field. Complete ownage. Quicksand despite being berated by his QB ran around everyone. And I despite being in less than stellar shape, managed to not embarrass myself to much. We had a blast. Just wish I could have thrown five touchdowns to Caleb. Have to keep up his best receiver in the league tab. Guess he is dropping that for best blocker.
If you couldn't tell yet I had an awesome weekend. I hope that was a proper sendoff for Rye Guy. Gonna miss ya man. Please come back to us with all your limbs and body parts.

ps. Quicksand is in our Entourage. To cool not to be. Love that kid.
