Of an Age

Meeting and talking with Mom&Dad this weekend did me some good. I know I've got to start being a lot more fiscally responsible, and they're going to try and help me get my act together in that regard. I hate that it came to the extreme it did, though.

First weekend of NFL playoffs, and not a damn thing went right. Patriots won, Buccaneers lost, and the Bengals lost - Carson Palmer took a bad hit on the second Bengals play of the game and tore an ACL. Veteran backup Jon Kitna came in and did well enough, but Pittsburgh was just too good tonight. Palmer will hopefully be back next season.

I'm solidly in the Colts camp now, and hoping for humiliating defeats for the Steelers and Patriots.

Made beer-can chicken for dinner tonight. Hadn't in quite some time. Delicious.

Back to work tomorrow. Woo-hoo.

I won't deny it - the Patriots are about twice the team now they were in September, but I don't think they're quite where they were this time last year.

Palmer's injury killed the Bengals. Kitna did a good job filling in, and he punched some holes in Pittsburgh's defense, but the team just ran out of rage and energy after halftime. I'm not willing to say that the outcome would have been different had Palmer played the whole game, but the game itself would have been very different.

New England is going to have a hard time with the Broncos this weekend. Denver's good, maybe better than their record shows. I expect a sweep for home teams this weekend.

i watched the first half of the cinci game and then went out to dinner. i thought for certain the steelers lost it for themselves in the first half.

came back from dinner and checked the game before heading back out - damn.
