Well, what do you think about these teams?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Bucs V. Skins

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I am a Buc fan. I am not a fan of little Chrissy Simms or of Gruden. Monte Kiffen's defense is keeping the team together, but even they got screwed by the ownership because they would not consider re-signing John Lynch, who has done very well in Denver.

I don't know, the bucs have momentum right now, I think it is still within their grasp.

What I hate most is how the announcers will not shut up about how great Simms is. They are just buddies with his daddy. He throws the season away, and first thing the announcers say is how good the Bucs will be next year with Simms. Simms could not win this game, even though his team had the best playoff performance ever by a defense. All he had to do was not lose them the game, but that is exactly what he did.

Well, The Bucs are out. That sucks. Sims threw away their last chance.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yeah, Simms choked big-time.
I figured the Skins might be a sleeper team, too.
I say the Bears go to the big game. Winning it is a whole different matter all together, though.

I was glad to see the Skins win. I cannot stand TB, except for caddy. I hated that Jax loss to NE. This year is really a toss up. Im for either Skins, Bears, Broncs, or Hawks. If I had to pick two favs I'd go with Broncs and Bears. If Bears and Broncs make it then im screwed, lol.

Insidious, i feel sorry for you. Someday you will see the light and become a Bucs fan.

T.O may go to Tampa.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I don't hate TO like many people. In a way, I admire him for challenging an entire NFL team to a fistfight. He has cahones, as you South Americans say.
If it was my team, I would fire Simms and Gruden, and make Monte Kiffen head coach and let Tim Rattay play QB. Then spend money to replace the talent in the secondary that was lost when Lynch left. An experienced qb and secondary will yield a positive turnover margin, which is what wins ball games. Turnovers were all the Redskins needed to win. Offense is not required to win football games.

I wouldn't fire Gruden, but I would consider firing Simms. He threw away the game(no pun intended). But florida coaches have been making bad decisions lately. In the Jags-pats game, i would have never let Leftwich start, due to his injury, that was just stupid. Also, the linebacker that had the cast on his right hand should not have started either. I don't know what the Jags coach was thinking. These guys can't play effectively with just one limb.
