trade 85

Trade Chad Johnson. He obviously doesn't want to be here. I was never under the impression that Bengals fans blamed Chad Johnson for losing, or at least I didn't and I didn't hear any of my friends saying that. I'm not sure who's ploy this is, Chad's or his agent's, but regardless he needs to be traded.

Chad with Jim Rome
Do you want to be traded?
"I'm going to leave that to the Shark (agent Drew Rosenhaus)"
Are you happy in Cincinnati?
"I'm not allowed to say. I get the blame......the so called best player....I'm the problem. Somebody in-house is spreading this. Maybe they want me to quiet down, stop being me. That is not going to happen. I can't function that way.
I tried it...I sucked. There was no excitement."
Can they make it right with you?
........long pause.......I think I could be here with you all season...on your show"
Is it blown up...not fixable?
"I'm leaving that to Drew. It's been bad (in Cincinnati)....I'm the scapegoat...alot of stuff in house is happening I'm not fond of. It doesn't sit well with me. I have fun. I'm a little outlandish. I produce. I do everything to help us win.
Who does have your back?
"TJ has my back.....Carson....that's it....that's really it"

I find it interesting that Carson has Chad's back, considering the number of plays Chad just quits on because he's afraid of getting hit. But kudos to Carson.

and then there's this...

Chad was working it during the season

Rumors about the Dolphins trading for Cincinnati receiver Chad Johnson have swirled since Johnson told WSVN-7 on Saturday, `` Bill Parcells, call me.'' But as Fox insider Jay Glazer noted off air Tuesday, Johnson approached opposing coaches this season and asked them to get him out of Cincinnati. Glazer said he doesn't expect the Dolphins to trade for Johnson because ``I don't see him as their kind of guy, and for [Bengals owner] Mike Brown to trade him, it would take a lot.''

Both are taken from Lance McAlister's blog. There's more on ProFootballTalk, too. By the way, lol at Chad Johnson in Miami. Have a blast with that one Chad! (sorry Mike) Chad Johnson is a jackass. In the back of my mind I always feared he'd go T.O. on the Bengals. It sucks that that day actually came.

Yay Bengals.

it's just a season thing

Tri-Health was conducting free body composition screenings today at work today. I went down and had myself measured; I have 16.7% body fat with a body mass index of 25. Both of those are normal from what I've read, my BMI being a little on the high side. I've put on about 10 lbs of fat since injuring my shoulder/end of softball season/start of winter season. I blame the season, I'm 90% sure I have seasonal affective disorder (among other things). I just don't have much of a desire to work out anymore, maybe some of that is because of my shoulder and the limitations I have because of it.

My goal is to have a workout program, as well as reasonable short and long term goals by Monday. I'm hoping that posting these on my blog will give me that extra motivation to carry through with this plan. (even though nobody probably reads this)

salvia.

Mike likes to party.


Oh, and Giants win the Super Bowl, 38-34 or something like that. If I were a degenerate and bet sports, I'd be all over the Giants at +12. I think the line actually started at +14, which is insane.

It's breakfast sammich time!!!

UFOs and the such

aliens are real. i think anyone who would disagree is kind of ignorant. their technology is probably way more advanced than ours. they're living in our oceans, watching what we do, waiting for the right time to attack.



(i kinda just wanted to embed a video in my blog. i'm only half kidding about the aliens attacking)

i have a blog?

It's cold. Like, 11 degrees cold. I've never really minded the cold weather, but lately it's starting to get to me. I don't really spend much time outside so it shouldn't really bother me all that much, but the few minutes I spend walking to the car and then waiting for the car to warm up are absolutely hell. I've never really given much thought to moving outside of Cincinnati, but it seems I like the idea of year-round warm weather becomes more and more appealing each time I have to sit in a freeeeeezing car.
Not too much else is going on these days. Winter is boring. The only thing I have to look forward to is indoor soccer every Tuesday, and I'm not exactly sure why I look forward to it. It's incredibly tiring, we're not very good and I don't like chasing Mexicans around in circles for 45 minutes. This past week was the first time that I've enjoyed myself, most likely because we won, I didn't puke at halftime and I had 3 goals. Woo hoo.
I start physical therapy for my shoulder on 1/23. The doctor says I have a torn labrum, and that PT should take 6-8 weeks. Assuming he's right (he's not sure how badly it's torn, it was hard for him to read the MRI because I moved near the end of it), I'll be healthy right around the time softball starts. I'm hoping all will be okay by then because I cannot afford to miss any softball, or golf for that matter.

I signed up for Netflix last week because they now allow you to watch unlimited streaming movies/TV shows from their website. I've started watching season one of 30 Rock, great show that I highly recommend. Tina Fey is a genius.

Once I'm done with 30 Rock, I plan on starting on Heroes. I've heard good things about that show. I swear I do things other than watch TV.


I guess that's all for now.

dingle and berry

I saw this picture a few weeks ago and just figured some nerd photoshopped it, I was wrong. After turning on the Fiesta Bowl I realized it was probably real, as Johnny Dingle and Scooter Berry do in fact play for WVU.

If I were an NFL coach I'd draft these two players regardless of how good they were or what I had to give up to get them.

Happy New Year!
