Green Robotics

Yeah, so, I haven't blogged much this week. Been a bit on the busy side with playoff activities, gearing up for Xmas concert, and just trying to make it through this week that seemed it would never end. gotta love the week before break, especially when a payday comes with it

first of all, I have to say that I want to blow up the middle school math department. Why, you may ask? Well,apparently, they got a grant of some sort and will start a robotics class. That's all fine and dandy, but they basically told the 7th grade director she was going to lose a few students, who coincidentally are her best and the ones that would likely stay in up through high school and beyond.

No, they didn't ask, she was told, and in a not so nice way. Not to mention, there was this whole thing about how they don't need to rehearse and can teach themselves, and that band directors don't do anything but collect a paycheck.

You can guess that myself and the orchestra director took offense to that statement. So, we're thinking of taking an instrument and the Xmas music to these people and tell them to teach themselves and to be ready for Xmas concert, and see if they can do what they're asking my associate to do.

On a lighter note, the high school had another game. Same as last week, they won, and there wasn't much fan support on the home side. At least this time, there was even less on the visitor side. I think the spirit squad and band may have made up most of their crowd.

Speaking of their band...they apparently can't have their own ideas for uniforms because they had an exact copy of the uniform I wore in college, except instead of purple they had green and instead of an N on the back, they had an E. I'm also sure they didn't have the 3 columns and NSU on the left chest, but something to do with EHS. They also had the shiny stuff underneath. WTF?!?

I guess I shouldn't complain, but rather it would be a compliment and honor. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I despise the color green, and both teams were green, so I was not happy. So, my break is cut short by a day because the team decides to win, on top of that, its an away game that's like out there in the boondocks of the bayous. Not going not be a fun trip on a crowded bus...but that opens up issues that can be saved for discussion at another time.

The soap opera is over...or is it?

Well, it appears that finally the Farve soap opera is over. Last night he was traded from Green Bay to the NY Jets. He stays in green, apparently. Still, it will be weird to see him in a different uniform. However it won't be any stranger than seeing Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Emmit Smith, Wayne Gretzky, and Michael Jordan in different uniforms late in their careers.

I for one wish Brett the best of luck (and hopes he hands the Patriots their asses) this year. The best thing about this all is the ESPN can finally move out of Green Bay. I swear poor Wendi Nix pretty much had to buy a house up there she was there so long...lol

No, I can start seeing what's going with my teams (Cowboys, Dolphins, Broncos, and Buccaneers)

Of course, now that I've said that, watch some other drama happen like he wants to retire again...lol

The Brett Farve Saga

What is it with NFL teams and their quarterbacks? Last year there was the unnecessary circus that surrounded and eventually enveloped Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons. This year, the drama bug seemed to be focuses on Chad Johnson (who is a wide receiver and not a quarterback) and the Cincinnati Bengals, but that was not the case. It appears to have headed up to the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers and Brett Farve.

This past season was one of if not the best season Farve had. Sadly it ended with him throwing an interception in overtime that sent the NY Giants to the Super Bowl. About a month later, Brett called a press conference and retired. Of curse, everyone and their mama was saying that he'd be back. As time progressed, reports started popping up that he was thinking about coming back.

Blah, blah, blah, yada yada, yada

Skip forward to about July. Brett announces he wants to come back, but the Packers say they have moved on and don't want him to come back. ESPN and many sportswriters have been having heated discussion left and right about whether they should let him come back or not.

MY opinion is, this is the man that has been the face of your franchise for the past 15+ years. He retires, but then changes his mind and all of a sudden you don't want him because you feel that a guy who had one good outing this past year, was good in college, and has never started an NFL game will be the starter? WTF?!? Something just isn't right about that in my opinion. Many writers and such have said that they think there's something not being told. The longer this goes on, the more I tend to agree with them.

Seriously, what's the deal? If I was running a team and had a living legend retire after his best season and then decide he wanted to come back, I'd jump through hoops to bring him back.

On top of not wanting him back, they don't want to trade or release him. Basically, the Packers are holding the man hostage. If they're so secure with Aaron Rodgers, then let Favre go. The man wants to play. I think they know he's the better qb, but don't want to admit that they're in the wrong.

The Packers are just being stubborn little bitches about this whole thing. Today, they finally decided that they may want to trade him. They also are offering him $20 million dollars to stay retired. WTF?!? They must really have faith in Rodgers to be doing that. I'm so gonna laugh when this whole backfires on them and they're sitting on the clock in April with the #1 draft pick because they think they're doing the right thing.

Until then, we can hope we'll get to see him look like this again.
