Ok before you all start jumping on me wishing me the worse let me say....

I actually hate blow outs. I don't exactly know how to act with the Saints being 8-0 and the top rated team. I like being the underdog. Yesterday game was much more fun then a blowout would have been.

But damn... After getting behind for the past 3 weeks we come back to out score Miami 43-10 Atlanta 28-10 Carolina 27-3 and win the game. My heart can't take it.

Give me a couple of blowouts already. Usually by the third quarter, you can't find the cat anymore. She won't come near me for the week. I guess she thinks I might blow up at any time.

My wife thinks I'm nuts. After all, what could be more interesting than the Lifetime TV movie she was watching? She actually came downstairs crying in the 3th quarter to tell me she loved me. I looked at her like she was nuts.

During the game the phone doesn't stop ringing with a$$holes calling me screaming into and at the their phone. I knew better than to answer the damn thing. I not going to mention any names. Good lord, you guys are worse than me. Can you find your cat yet?

In any case, I not complaining. After 40 years of this BS, I think I'm battle tested. Winning means I haven't killed anyone or anything yet. That has not always been the case. (We used to feed my friends pet snake after a loss.)

After the game, I told my wife I love her to. Tried to get some and she looked at me like I was crazy. I tried to watch the Hornets game last night who were playing the Lakers in LA. Needless to say it was a blowout at 1/2 time.

After 4 hours, my serene existance had returned. The cat came out from under the sofa and got some water.

My wife loves the Hornets. Go figure.

c'mon, give us a cat story, LB. I got one. My kitty is young, male, and scared of nothing. Fatboy was running around the house doing this new thing with paper he learned in school-- you fold it into something that looks like a failed paper airplane, then you pull it down fast, and it goes "pop!" He does it over the cat's head. Psycho-Rat just looks at him like the paper might be something fun to attack.
wouldnt it be great if they ALL lost their voice--- slap. Long as their throats stay healthy---SLAAAAAP!

I'll match your broccoli, and raise you
a banana
you know, I kept thinking, "well, I guess they might have us this time," but then I look at the score, and it looks doable, then sure enough Meachem picks one out of the sky & scores. I'll tell you, the whole Dome knew it Sunday. We knew it, the Saints knew it, and the Panthers knew it too--- the Saints were coming. It was a matter of time.

I have to say, come-back wins are my favorite too. Not that I want one this week. Anything less than a blowout vs. the Rams is gonna start some head scratching. I need a blowout too.

Well...believe it or not, I saved it in notepad just in case somebody asked. It's a sad story...that's why I was hesitant. Anyway...here goes.


I lived in Gainesville before I moved to WV because of a job change. My oldest son was living at home at the time, and his cat had kittens, and Cali was one of them. She was the only cat that survived from that litter other than the two that were given away and I have no idea of their demise at this time. Her other brother and sister as well as my long time friend, Yeller, were destroyed by a pit-bull that would be released in the neighborhood every now and then...for that very purpose, I speculate.

Anyway, when I left Gainesville and moved to WV, my daughter stayed on in the house in Gainesville, and she kept Cali. Eventually, however, she moved out of the house and into a dorm in Jacksonville, so she left Cali behind and outdoors. The neighbors there fed her, but for about 3 months she was left outside.

We finally went back to Gainesville to prepare the house to be sold, and early one morning after we arrived, I went out into the back yard and tried to call her up. After a few seconds, I heard some rumbling in a wood pile and out she came. She came right to me. If I were a stranger, she would run for 30 minutes before looking back.

We brought Cali all the way to WV in a kennel with our almost grown Siberian Huskie sitting right next to her...for about 17 hours. It's funny, because when I finally got her here, I opened the top of the kennel and she just sat there for about a minute.

It was only a few weeks ago that she had finally gathered the nerve to venture out of her new home and go into the garage to investigate her new surroundings. She found a spot in the wheel well of my truck, and she started sleeping there. Sadly, after she fell asleep in there one day, my wife took off for the store and she was still up in there. We found her down the street.

I found it very ironic that she survived all that, and after all the trouble we went through to get her here...she might have been better off if we would have just left her in Florida.

Oh...btw, FF. She is buried on the side of the house under the Poplar tree.

Whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right!

Dude , I've had season tix for about 6 years. My wife only started going to the games this year. We sit in section 149 and she goes to play on facebook, "spend time with me", and be eye candy. With that being said, she was into this game more than any game I've seen. She was screaming, jumping up and down, asking questions. OMG, when we got home she wanted to watch the Cowboys/Falcons game.
Yesterday's non-blow out may have been the game that turned her into a football fan!!!

Who-dat!!!

Sorry, meant Cowboys/Eagles...too much Captain Morgan yesterday.

I know where Cali is. I just typed a big long story about her, but spared you.
