COWHER POWER IN 2011!!
by bryanbuchs on 13/12/2010I’ve had enough with this McCarthy fellow. Granted, the Packers were hit with more injuries to quality players than most teams get in a 3-year span… but still. You don’t lose 5 games by a combined 16 points because you lost a few guys. It’s coaching. The Detroit loss sealed it for me. It’s like the guy was running the ball out of spite. “You think we don’t have a power running game? Watch this!!”
So let’s dump this jerk and get us a real coach next year. I hear that former Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Cowher might be looking for a job.

Surely, the Vikings’ problem is that they have not bowed low enough before Brett Favre! Childress only drove to the airport to pick him up. Why didn’t he offer to fold Favre’s laundry too? If only the Minnesota Vikings would show Favre some respect!
Favre leads the league with 17 interceptions — and maybe he wouldn’t be throwing to the wrong place so often if he’d bothered to attend training camp for the past two seasons. Favre also has lost five fumbles; 22 turnovers in 10 games by the starting quarterback would doom any NFL team. The Vikings are last in the NFL in turnover differential — and Adrian Peterson hasn’t fumbled this season! Yet Childress is scapegoated while Favre floats above it all. The Metrodome crowd chanted, “FIRE CHILDRESS!” They should have chanted, “PROTECT THE FOOTBALL!”
In 2007, Green Bay wanted to be rid of Favre because the team was sick of his attitude, which boils down to: me, me, me and have I mentioned me? Sunday, Green Bay’s judgment was vindicated in emphatic fashion.
In 2008, Favre single-handedly blew up the New York Jets, leading to a fired head coach and bitter recriminations all around. In 2010, Favre has blown up the Vikings, with a fired head coach and bitter recriminations all around. This must be some inexplicable coincidence — it can’t have anything to do with Brett Favre.
Soup’s On
by bryanbuchs on 03/11/2010Last weekend I came home from the grocery store(s) with a few pounds of root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, turnips, etc), some nice sirloin, and the urge to make a nice hearty batch of soup. This morning I woke up, started my coffee, then started browning my beef. Cut the veggies, then gave those a quick sauté before putting everything in the slow cooker.
At which point I realized: FUCK! I forgot the bacon.
The weekend prior I picked up some bacon. Not that shitty thin sliced pork by-product you get. I’m talking about real honest to goodness thick sliced Milwaukee-made Usinger’s smoked bacon. The good stuff. [Not “you” in particular, of course. Unless you do get that crap.]
Anyways, I had intended on searing the beef in some leftover grease, then the veggies, then deglazing the pan, etc. In my lack-of-coffee stupor I forgot about the bacon and used olive oil. Yawn.
This might end up being the best damn batch of soup I’ve ever made, and I won’t be able to enjoy it.
