Joe's Delirium Tremens

Joe's Delirium Tremens

OK... So here is the next sniblet into my fascinating blog. I guess I should explain "Delirium Tremens". Delirium Tremens, by definition, is a condition associated with complete Alcohol withdrawal in an individual with a reported history of long-term alcohol consumption - better known as the "DTs". Being that I have lately become one to imbibe in small amounts, I've learned appreciate the finer adult beverages that are available to us. In this case, I refer to a Belgian Beer known as Delirium Tremens. Some call it the best in the world - I would have to agree. Look for the pink elephants on the label. If you like beer, you'll never want anything else. But use caution - it does pack a wallop!

On a warmer than ever Fall Monday evening I sit and watch the New England Patriots play the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football. Rumor has it that Monday Night Football will be moved from ABC to ESPN next season. Apparently ABC is losing money on the program and can't seem to figure out why. I have a few ideas. As a lifelong football fan of both NCAA and the NFL, I have seen many changes in the Monday Night program over the last few years. For starters...JOHN MADDEN - for the love of pete, can't we get rid of this guy? Blah-blah-blah-talk-talk-talk through the entire game. I know a bunch of people love this guy, but I have yet to meet one. If this guy was a family member you wouldn't let him eat at the dinner table for the fear of him drooling in the gravy! It's over, John - You were a hell of a coach for a hell of a team, but you've fallen for the bells and whistles of the game rather than the game itself. What a shame. Another thing - when did we have to start doing little skits with the players before the start of the game? Or ten minutes of music videos from Hank Jr and buddies?? Just a tip ABC most people who like football HATE THIS SHIT !! - sidebar - Madden just explained pass rush five times in about forty seconds!! --- And what about the "reporter on the sideline" bit?? I can only remember this when Lynn Swann started doing it. But now, they have some little hottie reporter taking the biz - also the little hottie is sitting in for another female reporter whose voice is deeper that Vin Diesel's. Do we really care about how a particular player feels about his mom and dad being at the game tonight? NO! Especially when there is a play going on the field - get back to the game!!

Another thing hurting the NFL...Millionaire babies like Terrell Owens - sorry, Man - the average working Joe just can't relate to your "problems".
