I Finally Get to Talk About Football

As some of the more intelligent of you may know, the 49ers won yesterday giving them a 5-5 record. I have restrained from talking about football because my beloved 49ers were sub .500 and I didn't feel free to talk about other teams. Now that my team has finally clawed its way to mediocrity I feel the need to gloat over those that are still swimming at the bottom of the cesspool known as the NFC. Before that I need to give credit where credit is due.

First and foremost, the most credit is to be given to Frank Gore. This year Gore is Second in the NFL in Rushing yards by only two yards. He is 23 years old and was drafted by the Niners in the 3rd round because other teams were afraid of his past injuries. In yesterdays game he set a franchise record 212 rushing yards. He is projected to get 1669 rushing yards and 459 receiving yards by the end of this year as long as he stays healthy. After the loss of Barlow, Gore stepped into the role of lead back and is flourishing.


The next person on the list to get credit is the 49ers coaching staff, namely Mike Nolan. I was afraid at first when I heard the Niners were getting an old Baltimore defensive coach not named Marvin Lewis. Thankfully, to my surprise, Nolan has turned out to be a pretty good coach, even sporting a nifty suit and tie made by Adidas seen above.







The last person to get credit, but not the last to deserve it, is Alex Smith. I am always nervous when a QB goes first overall. The position has too much left up to intangibles to make it a sure things when picking a QB. When the Niners drafted Smith first overall I was cautiously optimistic. I knew he had the tools to become a good QB, but so did about a thousand other players before him. After throwing one touchdown and 11 picks in his first season my optimism
changed to terror. This year he is doing much better. His pass percentage is up ten percent. His passing yards have more than doubled along with his QB rating. And he has more touchdowns than interceptions with 10 and 7 respectively. I think I may be able to safely say Smith is on the way to becoming a sturdy QB for the Niners in the future.

Now that I am done gushing it is time for a hearty laugh in the face of those less fortunate than me. First, in the Niners conference I laugh at the Cardinals and Rams. Secondly, I laugh at the others in the NFC, the Buccaneers, the Lions, the Packers, the Vikings, and the Redskins. Thirdly, I laugh at those that lost yesterday that should have won, namely the Broncos, the Seahawks and the Colts.
Ok, now that I have established that, I will probably talk about football in most of my future posts. Now, on to other news.

I switched to the new blogger, yay.

I finished my second major speech, and I am preparing to present it Wednesday.

The E.V.O.C. (Emergency Vehicle Operation Course) singles activity was great. I will try and post video or pictures by the end of the week after I am done editing it together. Just to let you know what it was, it was basically a driving course designed for Police Officers and EMT's to learn what their vehicles can do in an emergency situation. It was put together by the singles teacher, Bro. Sanger, and a police officer in our church, Bro. Johnson. To put it simply, it was a lot of fun.

The PS3 was released... Oh sorry, I was just waiting for the inevitable cries from the people that bought it complaining about flaws that are inevitable in the first run of any electronic device.

The Wii was released... Oh sorry, I was just waiting for the inevitable cries from the people that bought it complaining about the poor graphic capabilities of the system.

Ok I think that is long enough, I will be back with more celebration of mediocrity, slanted video game news, and hopefully a video of E.V.O.C.

I almost forgot, I got Gears of War and it is amazing.

A Friendship Tested

First, yes I broke my promise on posts, oh well. With that out of the way, on to the post.

Yesterday I finally received my long awaited copy of Gears of War (LE). I was extremely happy, with one minor glitch; I can not play it yet. You see, my friend Steven and I made a pact. Since GOW offers the ability to play the entire campaign online with a friend, we decided that neither of us would play without the other. That is were the problem comes in. His GameStop had a shipping error and he will not get his copy until today at around six. I have had the game for one whole day and have yet to play it, or even boot it up. I have been trying to cope with other games, but I hear it calling my name.

There is really no way to distract me from the itch I desperately want to scratch. This morning I finished up my paper on Biblical Hermeneutics. When that was finished I moved on to Fable. I was already mostly finished with it and that didn't last long. The next distraction I threw myself into was setting up our wireless router. Thanks to the jerks at Linksys the setup process was easy and efficient. The last distraction I have left is the internet. I read Lance's latest blog entry. It was a good overview on the first few verses in James but it could only last so long. Now I am making my own post, but I am afraid I will not make it to six. I can only Hope Steven appreciates my efforts.


In other news I gave one of two major speeches yesterday. I choose James Madison as my topic and spoke for ten minutes. When the dust settled I was given an A. I am now studying for my history mid term, but I know everything already. Another bit of info is Matthew is supposed to get in today but I probably will not see him until tomorrow or Saturday. This Saturday is our church's annual Turkey Bowl. Other than that there is not much going on. Until next time.
