Skins ALMOST did it

Well the Skins broke all our hearts again this weekend. I'll be honest I wasn't there, I was thinking we were going to get KILLED and I wasn't in the mood to witness that on a cold and rainy Sunday. I did watch the game from the Caesars poker in AC (again see the blog title ;)) I saw some really great things. One, the Saints are the best team in the NFL. Two, They are a favorite to win the super bowl, three, have the highest scoring defense in the NFL and we took them to OT. Of course we gave up a 4th quater lead but that isn't what people are going to remember from this game.

1. Sean Suisam's missed FG.

I seriously might go up to the high school and videotape myself kicking a 22 yd fg. I have succesfully kicked one before.

2. LaRon Landry is a cone

Ok so he had 12 tackles but 2 of the TDs were his fault.

3. Jason Campbell threw an INT.

Did you miss the 350+yds he threw for and his 60+ completion percentage?

Now the Skins are in trouble and at a crossroads. Zorn HAS to be fired. I'm not in favor of blowing up the whole system but the team is going to finish 4-12 and you can't justify keeping the coach with that record.

Who the QB is won't matter depending on who is coaching the team. Campbell is the best thing out there right now. Give him a 2 year deal. Drafting a QB would be the stupidest thing we can do. If that doesn't work out its going to set us behind another 5 years.

Outside of all that. The weekend was awesome. Simon and I left for AC at 8 am on Saturday. Kinda funny how I struggle to wake up at 715 am for work during the week and I can just shoot up if I know I am going to AC. haha. Denissa, Britney, and Sung met us all up there too. They all went out the night before so they didn't leave until 1 pm or so and Simon and I were already there for over an hour when they had left.

We stayed at Harrahs. The poker action was juicy. Entered the 1:00 tournament as an alternate. Got all my money in with A-Q of Spades. Flop came queen high with 2 spades, got called in 2 spots by q-j and q-10, and an off suit 10 hits on the river. Hit some big hands playing cash, some people hit some gut shot straights on me but I came out on top. Headed over to Trop to play table games with everyone else. Played blackjack for 15 minutes, lost $10, then we all started playing Craps. Table got REALLY hot and we all made bank, we left got late night food, passed out, woke up after a few hours sleep, took the under in the STl-CHI game (winner!) lost some cash back playing cards then went home. Great weekend.

Boats and Hoes,
