Who Are These People?

-When we get the first snowfall around here, without fail, every news channel will do a story on how grocery stores are running out of milk, towns aren't sure they'll have enough salt and people in hardware stores are buying shovels. Is the last one of those that always perplexes me.

What New England resident doesn't own a shovel at this point? Did you think that winter wasn't coming this year? After last season did you throw your shovel away and think "Jees, glad that's over with?" There can't possibly be this many people who either thought they were moving after last season or didn't have an unbroken shovel when last winter ended. Yet, every year the news stations get this b-roll without fail. How many new Boston residents are there, and how many of them are coming from warmer climates? It's almost always the other way around, hence my confusion. I'm just trying to figure out who the hell is buy shovels this late in the season. It's New England, in the winter: it's going to snow. Really, that's not a guess - it's a fact. It's been snowing on and off for three days now - I'm willing to bet that it won't be the last time this season.

-You know what, Wes Welker? Now you catching touchdowns is just pissing me off. Lets just say I connect to the fantasy football commercials with all the teams going 1-13 or 2-12.

-Big thanks to Seattle for taking out the J-E-T-S. Now we need the Jets to care next week against the Dolphins then the Patriots just need to take out the Bills to get the 3 seed and host a playoff game. I'm not banking on Jacksonville helping us out and taking out the Ravens. Also, Eric Mangini, hope you enjoyed the whole "Head Coach" experiment. You probably get one more year, but then it back to secondary coach for you, buddy.
