Well maybe semi-live. I have a DVR with my DishNetwork subscription so I can tape a little and skip through the commercials. AFirst round looks really good. Both look tight on defense and Banks is shooting counter shots. Smith got in a right hook that was the punch of the round. However; that was about the only shot that Smith really landed.

I even had Dallas' kicker, Nick Folk who kicked a 50+ yard field goal. I even played Pittsburgh as my defense. Pittsburgh shutdown Seattle's offense and kept them scoreless. How did I loose? I'm keeping hope in the final weeks. Actually next week would be great if I could score another win.http://vermilk.blogspot.com/2007/10/fantasy-football-week-5.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (vermilk)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10165392.post-2441103467474693296Sun, 07 Oct 2007 22:13:00 +00002007-10-07T17:41:36.346-05:00BoxingMcCline knocked Peter down 3 times so the fight wasn't completely boring? After the 4th round, the fight started to get a little monotonous. I do not want to watch this fight again.My questions about the fight:Why does McCline punch-grunt (my new word for the day)? Grunting while punching is just simply annoying. What makes it annoying is that I expect an enormous amount of power to be http://vermilk.blogspot.com/2007/10/samuel-peter-vs-jameel-mccline.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (vermilk)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10165392.post-2638830088736434107Sun, 07 Oct 2007 19:02:00 +00002007-10-07T14:09:02.611-05:00EntertainmentYesterday we helped chaperon a group of children from our Church to the Newport Aquarium. It's quite a long drive from where we live so we had a lot of time on the bus to try and occupy little minds.

Can't remember who he fought but it must have been a perfect fight for him. Since that fight I have not been the least bit impressed. He has been beaten by just about every fighter of any worth that he's boxed: Nikolay Valuev (knee injury), Calvin Brock, Chris Byrd, and Wladimir Klitschko.

McCrary resembled the Russian, Ivan Drago, from the Rocky IV movie. However; the skill didn't come close to the Russian. McCrary showed little to no defensive skill holding his hands below his chest for most of the fight allowing Bika to tag his head over and over. Of course, Bika wasn't much better with his Contender style wide looping punches.http://vermilk.blogspot.com/2007/10/contender-bika-vs-mccrary.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (vermilk)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10165392.post-2437385704857585385Wed, 03 Oct 2007 12:21:00 +00002007-10-03T07:37:03.459-05:00BoxingEntertainmentHow does one forget 2 checks that total over $750,000? I can't imagine receiving a check for even half that amount not to mention forgetting one! Well that's what Kelly Pavlik and his father did. They (his father) forgot their championship winnings at a hotel after the big Jermain Taylor KO. One check was for $666,000+ (Kelly's pay) and the other $105,000+ (Daddy-O's pay).

My record is a conservative 2-2-0. This one went down to the wire. After Sunday I was ahead 54 - 50. My only player left was Sammy Morris (I've done a little dropping and adding) and my opponent had Chad Johnson. Who do you think would have won this contest?

I really thought that Taylor would win. In fact Taylor was on the road to a win. I had Taylor up 58-55. I think Taylor would have probably pulled out round 7 as well. However; Pavlik kept coming forward throwing punches and finally landed the big right hand to hurt Taylor.

This had to be the funniest show that I have ever seen Letterman do. Normally, I just don't think he's that funny.8:47 minutes of pure terror for Ms. Hilton is how I would sum it up.

I have read lots of posts that say the talent is much better this year but I haven't seen it (I'm looking for it in the ring, not the gym).

Not many peppers at all, and they were all very small. This year was very different, two plants with lots of big peppers.
