I Guess I’m a Soothsayer

Posted in bfooter.comLeave a comment

So on Tuesday, I ranted about the media calling for Favre to be dismissed or traded and also called out Ahmad Carroll and asked that he be cut for his exceptionally bad performance on Monday night. Then it happened and I decided to give myself a hand.

I guess the guys over at The Big Lead (unlike ESPN, I’ll get my reference right) found my little site and gave me a shout out. I’ll take it as a complement. For 50 or so visitors that stopped by yesterday because of their reference, ya’ll come back now real soon.

Did I Call This or What?

Posted in bfooter.comLeave a comment

So earlier today, to help get over my disgust with sports writers everywhere blaming Favre for the Packers demise, I called out Ahmad Carroll. I also called for him to disappear.

I guess the Packers’ GM must have read my blog today. Turns out, he made him disappear today!!!

(Excuse me while I do my dance of joy…)

At this point, the only people not happy about this are Rams who have to play the Packers next. The rest of the teams on the Packers schedule probably aren’t happy either. These teams fans are probably disappointed as well. But, I don’t care!

I do give the man props for admitting he sucked on national TV.

That takes guts. For that, Salute… Now, see ya latter!

I know you are secretly reading my blog to get the inside scoop on water skiing, show skiing, barefooting and this phenomenon called the Mad-City Ski Team…

Can you please stop blaming Favre every time the Packers lose a game proclaiming that he needs to fade away? That he is too old, that he’s lost it. Yes he made a few mistakes last night (one bad throw over the middle sticks out).

Surprisingly, some of these same writers say he should force a trade to a better team so he can take them to a Superbowl. Which is it? Is he bad and needs to quit or is he good enough to take a better team to the biggest of games? Make up your mind.

But can you please start calling for Ahmad Carroll’s head? We might as well play with 10 guys on defenses. It is one thing to get burned. It is another to get flagged for a penalty. It is even worse to get burned and flagged for a penalty. Carroll doesn’t need to fade away. He needs to disappear… now. I think everyone but the Packer’s next opponents can agree about this. They want to see Carroll on the field… they love playing against him.

I can just hear the conversations… “Carroll is in the game. We’re going deep. Whoever Carroll lines up against, just go deep. I’ll throw the ball to you no matter what. Either you’ll be wide open or he’ll get flagged. Either way well be down field.”

Please, please, please cut him now!

Update: He will at least own up the fact that he sucked badly last night. Seems like a nice guy.

Wisconsin Weather

Posted in bfooter.comLeave a comment

So with forecast calling for highs in the mid-80 in October, I planned to hit the water with T-Bell & John today. Watching the weather throughout today, I could see some pretty big storms moving north of Portage and South of Janesville, both about 30 or so minutes away in their respective directions.

As 5pm rolls around, the weather is still warm, somewhat clear, and basically good skiing conditions. Get to the lake at 515 and am getting the boat ready and feel that it is a little cooler already. Get out on the water and know for sure it has cooled off.

We get a quick set in as the weather slowly grows darker to the east, but looks somewhat west. I hop in to take my last run and do a quick run one way and see some lightning way off to the east. Figure I might as well take one last run back to the bridge and we head off to the west, turn towards the north, where it is now darker, and finally turn back to the east towards the bridge (we took the long way to the bridge) and now I’m see lots of lighting, notice the trees are now indicating a strong wind out of the north when it was out of the south minutes before. I let go as we get to the bridge, they come back, quickly, and pick me up. I hop in and we high tail it out of there.

We get out to the main lake and it is getting quickly worse. We make a beeline for the dock and get the boat out without incident.

We did notice the UW Ski Team was still skiing as we headed to the landing… we decided to be nice and hooked up their truck and trailer and helped them get their boat out when they finally came to the landing. BTW, the UW team qualified for Nationals… Congrats!!!

Sorry, no pics from tonight… little too gloomy. Still had good skiing though!

Gotta Love Fall!

So according to the calendar, Fall is officially here. But it seems more like an Indian Summer. 70+ Degrees and Sunny. (Looking for 80 tomorrow.) Needless to say, I hit the water today… Here are some pics from the afternoon of skiing…

Why’s the bottom of my foot so white?

Visualize yourself behind a boat…
What… there’s no boat?

Hey All You Mad-City Peeps!

Browsing showskiers.com today, I noticed that Lei, an amateur photographer who was at Nationals recently re-opened his galleries. I just looked through them (watched the slide show) and there are a lot of great pictures in there. I especially like the Montage photos and the Jawdropper photos. He’s got some great shots of the 720. Go check them out.

For everyone else, you can just go check out some great photos!!!
