Steelers vs. Denver and Tim Tebow’s Website

Well football fans, the Pittsburgh Steelers who are the fifth seed in the playoffs travel to Denver for a wildcard game this Sunday. Why we end up traveling when we are 12-4 and the Broncos are 8-8 is beyond me, but it’s a divisional thing—weak division for the Broncos I should say!

The Steelers fall in the AFC North category and three, shall I say that again, three of the four teams in the AFC North are in the playoffs: Baltimore, Cincinnati, and of course Pittsburgh. I’m not sure if any other division has managed this but we fans of the AFC North are not surprised—nope not one bit

.

QB Joe Flacco of Baltimore never gets enough credit and he’s an awesome QB. You never hear Flacco's name alongside names like Manning, Brady or Brees. On the other hand, you don’t hear Ben Roethlisberger alongside those names either—nor the rookie in Cincinnati, Andy Dalton and that’s just a shame folks as the AFC North should be proud and then some!

The Steelers play this Sunday (4:15 EST) in Denver and will be without awesome defensive player, Ryan Clark who has a rare blood disease that prohibits him from spending too much time in high altitudes and well, it is the Mile High City so to speak. But the Steelers are resourceful when it comes to readjusting—heck if Ben was still hurt real bad, Charlie Batch could win the game. We will also be without center Maurice Pouncey who for some reason keeps hurting  his ankle—hey Ben, he’s your center, quit kicking him and the ankle! Jeez!

Now, on to Tim Tebow. I know the QB for the Denver Broncos is a religious man and I get it, I do but I also think it doesn’t belong on the field. Not the praying, that’s okay, a lot of players do that, but his pouring out to fans and the world if they don’t connect with their Lord, they will be sad, sorry souls is simply bad press and that’s why the media makes fun of him calling him the Mile-High Messiah.

Tim has a website—you can find it here. It’s appropriately called timtebow.com so that’s original. When I found the website via a Google search, the site also links to his Twitter and Facebook account and to my surprise, I found a mutual friend I know back in Taos New Mexico. She and her family are of the religious nature and I get why she’s “liking” his stuff and “following” him and all, but it’s funny that her hubby is an anesthesiologist and well, he put me under once or twice—almost killed me once by accident because I was allergic to an antibiotic we didn’t know I was allergic to and it took a while to get me back, but heck I was asleep so I don’t blame him. I don’t blame him so much, after it happened in the first surgery I requested him for the second one in case it happened again—he’d know how to fix it right?

I am Catholic, but I don’t go to parties reciting “Hail Mary…full of grace…” because that’s my thing. Nor do I discuss the Stations of the Cross or how great my first name is really Mary, just like the mother of Jesus! I just don’t and Tebow seems to think that sort of stuff is okay if you’re in any sort of environment.

I get it Tim, I do, you are thankful for the skills God gave you and I know  you will go far in your career because you’re good at extending the play, running and getting out of the pocket.

On a sad note, however, I just don’t see how Denver's defense can stop Harrison, Woodley and Polamalu? Wow isn’t that funny my spell checker didn’t recognize Polamalu but it did Roethlisberger? Interesting…but I digress as usual.

For Steeler fans who follow me on Twitter or feel compelled to write on my Facebook page, would you PLEASE quit asking me if the Steelers lose the game will they still have a chance at the Super Bowl—they don’t people—this is the playoffs. Win or go home okay? I’m tired of explaining this.

I don’t get the feeling the Steelers will lose unless they send in the imposters who played against Baltimore this season or in the last Super Bowl against the Green Bay Packers—a pack of imposters—all of them!

Well gear up, tailgate, get your favorite snacks ready for Sunday’s game and if you feel you must, say a little prayer—but at this house, it’s gonna be a Steelers' prayer—even though I know Tim Tebow will also be praying for us—in his own way. Thanks Tim, we do appreciate it!

Texas Says NO to Last Meal Requests!

It was reported yesterday by local news channels across Texas there would be no more last meal requests before Texas shoves you off to eternity--well death.

The decision all came because of one executed inmate, Lawrence Brewer 44 who according to Fox News:

"Brewer had requested an extensive last meal of two chicken fried steaks, a triple bacon cheeseburger, a cheese omelet, a large bowl of fried okra, three fajitas, a pint of ice cream and a pound of barbecue with a half loaf of white bread. He did not eat the food."

I am a Republican and am a new resident to Texas (Austin), however, in a state where they claim they love to do everything in a BIG way, why take this away? Who cares? Maybe Lawrence wanted some grub for his guards or spiritual advisers? Anyway, you can check out the story and new rules here.

I am for the death penalty and it's not because I moved to Texas. I have always been for it but last night while watching the Investigative Discovery Channel, I heard perhaps the very worst story of a crime committed by four drug-addicts looking for cash and sadly, one was a woman.

The woman, who new of an elderly couple used their trust in her to gain entrance into their home (the man suffered from diabetes and could hardly walk and his wife was in the bouts of chemo and cancer).

Well these four idiots decided to beat the crap out of these two elderly, nice and friendly folks all while the man in his wheel chair tried his best to defend his wife. When the couple wouldn't reveal their PIN number for their bank account, the four idiots shoved them in their own Lincoln town car--in the trunk--and drove them to the woods. When they opened the trunk, authorities guessed it was probably over 100 degrees inside but the couple was still alive.

Drained at this point and after more beatings, the wife finally gives up the PIN number and then the four idiots decide it's wrong to outright kill them so they BURIED THEM ALIVE.

Of course one of the four idiots turned on the other three, so he drove them to where the bodies were buried and once the grave was opened, to the officers amazement, the man had somehow (before he succumbed) wrapped his arms around his wife most likely comforting her to the end.

Three of these four dumb ass criminals will be going to death row - the one that gave them up got 45 years. Even seasoned homicide detectives were moved by the grave scene and to me, this is perhaps one of the worst crimes I've ever head of. Yep, give them the chair, end of story.

I know the three will have their allowed appeals and it may be a little while before they get put to death but isn't it great we have an express line in Texas?

On a final note, I do think death row inmates should be allowed to ask for anything they want to eat (within reason) before they meet their maker, but these three - a green moldy hot dog and cold gruel would suffice for me after what they did.

So maybe no more last meal requests in Texas should be decided based on the crime and these three definitely deserve perhaps no last meal at all - just the needle.

Skip President Obama Speech and Watch Football!

As the NFL season begins tonight with the Super Bowl winning Green Bay Packers playing the New Orleans Saints AND President Obama making a speech about jobs and how he will create jobs, what should one do?

I am here to tell you to skip the President Obama speech and watch the football game instead. Why?

SOS people or "same old shit." I really can't fathom what in the hell this Poor Prez can do to create jobs since he hasn't been able to do this in the past (well he sort of got jobs "created but none actually were "real jobs").

I feel sorry for this guy folks and if you do too it's enough of a reason to watch the gridiron fight-'em game instead of Obama saying the same old things (watch closely for those puppet strings in the background).

Those who wanted Obama to be president, I mean senators and lobbyists have had their way with the man and it's a shame. His "yes we can" might have been catchy, but now it's more of a "well we really can't" sort of focus these days because the guy just can't cut it being the TPIC (top person in charge for those of you wondering what TPIC means).

I often wonder what will happen once Obama is out and some Republican gets back into office. For sure the Republican political leaders will be watching Green Bay beat up on the Saints tonight. Why? Well they just don't care people! They know this man is not for long and no matter what comes out of his mouth, it won't mean anything anywho!

Well, I do hope the Packers beat up the Saints big time (in scoring only--no injuries), however, if I were you I'd skip the Obama speech and get back to watching great NFL football....I can hear the theme song right, right now!

GO GREEN BAY!

Steve Jobs Resigns, Fears iPad13 and iPhone23

Blogs, online magazines and newspapers and just about any organization or person that can post on the Web is writing about Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs and his resignation. WTF people?

I found one blog stating “world shocked!” I wasn’t. “Will Apple be the Same?” Yep! “Business as Usual at Apple.” No kidding folks.

Most feel the resignation is due to health-related problems for Jobs and if that is indeed the case—quit crying and let the man go on with his life.

I, however, do have the inside scoop on why Jobs decided to leave the Apple World. Much like Sylvester Stallone (of Rocky Movie fame), Jobs could see the future. First the iPad and shortly thereafter, the iPad2—and iPad3 is on the horizon! And then there's the iPhone--we are at number four already I think! Yikes the digits are scary.

Would you want your name to be behind the iPad13? Hell no folks, you would not!
I never liked movies or products that offer numbers behind their name. I think visionary Jobs saw this and got out while the getting was good. Let Tim Cook, the new CEO deal with the embarrassing iPad13 right or the iPhone23 right?

Just FYI here, to those adding numbers after products like 1, 2, 3, and THIRTEEN, to the average consumer, this means you screwed up on ALL EARLIER VERSIONS.
Bill Gates was a little number crazy for a while, then he discovered XP and Vista sounded awesome—Microsoft has swayed back to the numbers game, however, with Windows 7 (was there a 1, 3, 5 or 6?—you tell me.

I am not an Apple fan, although my son-in-law often (very often) tells me I too will be assimilated. I do like my Apple TV because it’s SO easy to pull up YouTube videos and watch Netflix videos, but that’s as far as my Apple rah rah goes.

Updates take too long and you have to update something or other on Apple—constantly and they remind you too! Do you want iTunes 10? Not right now man! Do you want iTunes 10.5? Can I please do it later man!

Yes Steve Jobs is a visionary and I do believe Apple shall carry on as usual albeit Jobs can sit on the sidelines while weary Apple folks try to tell the world why iPads 3 through 12 just weren’t all that great.

Have fun Steve—travel, eat, and visit with friends—all work and no play can make “Steve” a bad (and very tired) boy!

I'm Glad Casey Anthony Is Not Guilty

Here at Jeanlovesyoulongtime, I'm glad that Casey Anthony is not guilty and appalled by those in the press and around the U.S. who are crying (yes crying), TV shows interviewing mother's in disbelief, and those out there who will never, ever, ever let Casey live a normal life.

First off, I wasn't at the trial and only heard (sometimes) updates on morning or evening TV news shows. I ask you here, how many of you sat IN the courtroom and not only understood every piece of evidence given, but were really awake the entire time.

As far as I know, there was no forensic evidence linking Ms. Anthony to the death of her daughter Kaylee, nor could a cause of death be offered.

As far as experts go, paid experts will (and do) say anything.

I am also a mother of two so please skip the comments on what if you were a mother?

Now, I'd like some Moms out there to think back a bit when you were young and had a baby out of wedlock and lived with overpowering parents who indeed felt you never did a good job, put you down day after day and attempted to raise the child as their own--this happens all the time and what young women wouldn't act out?

I like the theory better that good old Grandma and Grandpa were with Kaylee during a pool accident and convinced Casey to go along--we'll get you the best lawyers--oh yes sirree, you'll be free in no time.

If I were a prosecutor in the town of Florida where this all went down, I'd being taking another look at Grandma and Grandpa. They seemed real messed up during all this, sometimes supporting her and other times demeaning her.

Well Casey, I hope you can somehow find a life, but if I were you, I'd run as far away from your parents as you possibly can--real far, maybe to another country and try to live a normal life--but of course how can you with such bad publicity and bad parents.

Sure, you can comment to hell and back here and I don't care. If you weren't in that courtroom for every single part of the testimony, what do you really know? What you heard on the news and two wars and the recession in the U.S. is not as important to you as this trial was and to that I say--shame on you.

Good luck Casey (and sorry about Kaylee)

More Anthony Weiner Photos!

Okay people, I'm sick of Anthony Wiener photos and yep, I don't care, don't want to see them, don't like him, think he should resign and yes if I lived in New York, I would have lost all respect for this man.

I know his beef (wow) is, I didn't break any "official Congress rules!" Bullshit I say! You, Mister are supposed to be a leader and set examples, not show us your stupid chest and other body parts we don't really want to see.

What did you think would happen dude? That those women you sent them to wouldn't say anything ever? Didn't you learn anything from Tiger Woods?

I wish stupid people such as Mr. Wiener would be immediately sent of to the Soylent Green center and get the heck out of public office.

As I pack my home to move to another city, I can't seem to get away from the Wiener! Every piece of newspaper I got at the recycling center has his photo or a story about him! I'm sick of the wiener!

Yep, there's probably gonna be more Anthony Wiener photos and I for one, have seen all I want to see, which isn't much, because I'm not looking--they are all staring at me as I wrap my dishes and household items.

I can hardly wait to unpack in my new home--I'll get to see his face all over again! Thanks Mr. Wiener, thanks a lot!

Oh and PS to Mr. Wiener--I know I spelled your name incorrectly, but you are the most disapointing wiener out there dude!

Doped Up Lance Armstrong?

I really don't know what to say here folks except I'm wondering how doped up Lance Armstrong was able to win all those races and pass all those drug tests?

After watching 60 Minutes, where a fellow teammate told all---because he had to (forced by a subpoena), I'm amazed people.

According to the story, Lance was doping as far back as his first Tour de France win! This really makes me mad and all of the awards he received should be given back! I mean he's gotten Espy Awards along with all those wins in France and to be backed by a government agency (Post Office) a department we all use and love is just disgraceful.

I was happy when Iditarod star Lance Mackey joined Armstrong's charity "Livestrong" but not anymore.

Mackey is heads above this idiot and for someone to blatantly lie about using drugs to win a bike race is just not a good example for kids out there today.

Boo to you Lance Armstrong! And a really big BOO at that!

What Was Arnold Schwarzenegger Thinking?

Well folks it true and official and what was Arnold Schwarzenegger thinking? You know what they say about men and cheating--80 percent of American men cheat and the other 20 percent are in Europe so if you're married, you're doomed from the get go.

But to have a once Movie Super Mega Hero cheat, it just makes it worse, at least it does here at jeanlovesyoulongtime.

I never really watched any Arnold movies, or as I like to call them "Awwwwwwr-nold" movies. He never fascinated me and frankly folks his English teacher could have done a little better.

On the other hand, look at the family he married into! Well good old Ted Kennedy must have had tons and tons of tips on how to cheat and not get caught--learned from his brothers oh yes he did! Probably gave old Arnie the key to the Kennedy tunnel! You simply can't marry into the Kennedy family and not cheat BUT--maybe this year on the November issue of Vanity Fair we won't have yet another long series about JFK, maybe good old Maria and Awwwwwr-nold will be on the cover--wouldn't that be great?

The Today Show on NBC offered up a long list of politicians who have cheated and their names were blazed on the screen with big wide lettering on the bottom of the screen (it did only show their names but it should have read CHEATER, CHEATER, YOU'RE A WIFE CHEATER!), an authority came on to talk about these politicians who cheat.

Now here is where I got confused. This announcer (the expert) was some sort of reporter for a tabloid--OK--expert material I suppose.

I was expecting him to answer the question what was Arnold Schwarzenegger thinking by saying, "Well he cheats just like a dog can lick his balls--because he can!" But this expert rambled on and on about being accessible and around cute chickies all the time and then we got a nice shot of Bill Clinton hugging his mistress and saying (before his hair was grey), "I did not have sexual relationships with THAT woman!" Oh those were the days weren't they?

I wish things could go back to the way they used to be in old Hollywood where Clark Gable fathered a child with Loretta Young and no one ever, ever, ever knew--until the child was like 50 years old and Clark and Loretta were long gone. What's that fool me once saying again? Oh yeah ask George Bush!

Where's the mystery anymore people? Yep men cheat but honestly if only 20 percent of the men who cheat live in Europe, maybe available women should head there!

Good luck Princess Kate! I hear William's got that wandering eye! Not to worry though Kate, while Prince Charles sits and awaits the phone call and asks, "Is Mummy Dead," soon it will be Wills turn and even if he cheats, you'll still be Queen!

President Obama Gets It Right

You know people, here at Jeanlovesyoulongtime, we are not the best fans of aka the Auto Czar aka the Healthcare Czar..but President Obama gets it right when it comes to the demise of Terrorist and all around idiot Osama bin Laden!

Yep the terrorist is dead and it's sort of like "Ding Dong the Witch (Warlock) is dead, oh yeah and oh yeah!

Some around the world are making comments not so positive about how bin Laden was taken out but PEOPLE...he killed 3,000 Americans and many others including his own people!

I'm glad it's over, I'm glad it's done and yes, Americans or any country bin Laden hated must not stop security..we must stand fast and stay focused.

Yep, President Obama gets it right (for a change) and here, we are loving it!

Christopher Hitchens Gets It Right--Again

You have to admire Christopher Hitchens, the guy's got talent and yes, Christopher Hitchens gets it right--again, especially when it comes to the royal family of the U.K. and jeez folks--although we are fascinated, it's kinda time to stop this hoopla.

Hitchens writes a sort of warning tale to now Princess Kate on why would anyone want to marry into the family--in Slate Magazine--worth the read, take a peek.

From reading Hitchen's insights I can't help but wonder how scary this family (and its possibilities) really are!

The movie the King's Speech with Colin Firth sort of "touched" on the royals when Bertie's wife (Queen Elizabeth's Mom) goes to a speech therapist who bluntly says, "Why doesn't you husband just change jobs?" Well of course he can't--he's a ROYAL!

In the movie The Queen, we learn that Queen Elizabeth vowed to give "her whole life, no matter how short or long," to the people of England. Hmmm.

So, the point I'm trying to make is this family basically waits for someone to die and when they do, they're sort of happy because they get to be promoted!

First, Prince Charles sits around mostly waiting for that call--"Is Mummy Dead?"

Charles will most likely be quite old by the time he replaces the Queen and once he does, I can only imagine how much time William and Kate will sit around and wait for the call--"Is Daddy Dead?"

It's a tough life, not one I'd want and watching the King's Speech made me only like The Duke of Windsor who abdicated to marry Wallys Simpson. My husband said to me--"Why would he do that? Doesn't he want to be King?"

Would you people! OMG! In the King's Speech they showed scenes where the Duke of Windsor and his divorcee wife sat in a room (expensive, great background, and champagne abound)...so it does raise the question, who got to lead a better life--George the Sixth or the Duke?

Yes folks, once again Christopher Hitchens gets it right--again and no wonder he's not a U.K. Citizen anymore--it's complicated, costs ways to much for the U.K. Citizens each year just to anxiously await, much like the family--"Is Mummy Dead--Yet?"

Hmmm?
