The one where I’m sorry, I just don’t have 12-inch fingers. Two below. Brrrrrrrrap.
Come give Papa a big hug.
Were you watching? Were you? I expect you to be as forlorn as I am this morning.
The Penguins put the big hurt on the Flyers last night, 4-1. The goals came quick and rather frequently to the Pittsburgh side, thanks in large part by the inability of Philadelphia to keep men out of the penalty box. In fact, Philly had thirteen penalties. Thirteen. Yikes. Scott Hartnell did his part to boost that number logging four infractions himself including a ten-minute game misconduct in the final period.
Sweet. This is looking good. Fourth and Fifty friends, we need your support. Wear your orange and black to the office on Friday to show your allegiance in preparation of game two.
The other scores from last night’s NHL playoffs (because I know you care):
NY Rangers over Washington Capitols: 4-3
NJ Devils over Carolina Hurricanes (Hartford Whalers?): 4-1
Vancouver Cannucks over St. Louis Blues: 1-0
Today the West has the beef of the action. I know everyone is desperately calling their cable service provider to find out how, when, if they can get Versus, so you can follow along. I commend you, faithful.
Up ahead are your Houston sports updates:
Texans – Jacksonville be runnin’ scared, yo. Some of their fans at Jags Nation (does ever team have an “nation” these days?) are already making excuses as to why Houston will be successful this year. RespeCK. Respeck the Texans domination. We can’t state enough that this is THE Super Bowl year for the newest team in Texas.
Rockets – As THE Random Guy kinda sorta said last night, the Rockets lost to the Mavericks to slip from a possible #2 seed to a #5. Portland has home-court advantage for the series. But, luck is in Houston’s favor. Potentially, a match-up with the Jazz in the second round isn’t out of question. That’s great news.
Astros – Mike Hampton logged his first win of the 2009 season yesterday. The Astros won (won?!) 4-1 on the strength of two-run first and third innings. The season started yesterday in my head so that means that Houston is undefeated. Yay! They’re doing this shit UConn Women Huskies style this year.
Dynamo – Houston’s soccer club finally cleared up some legal-mumbo-jumbo to add Andrew Hainault to the roster. He was wrapped up in some sort of stuff (that I have no understanding of so I won’t talk about it) with his former team that delayed his addition to the club even though he’s been practicing with the team since February. He doesn’t have a plethora of YouTube vids, so I can’t get too excited about it [Ed. Note - ADE AKINBIYI!!!!!]
Aeros – The Peoria Rivermen won their first every playoff game last night. Good for them. Unfortunately it came against Houston’s beloved Aeros. Bad for us. The final was 6-4 and that’s all you really need to know because I know that you don’t really care. Apparently not too many in Peoria cared either. The attendance was a whopping 1,512 people (which to their credit may be larger than the town’s population).

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Luck is in Houston’s favor? You really want to bet against a baby? That’s bad karma, my friend.
“Luck” is not the word to use when predicting a Jazz series in the playoffs… THE Random Baby picked LA, so I’m not too worried about it. Though, I can’t believe you haven’t renounced her for picking Portland. Where are your allegiances, man?! Progeny or Team?! You choose!
Sorry, I have one more thing to say. One underrated thing about blogging (besides the bling and the hos) is watching the stats and seeing what people googled to get to FaF.
A few weeks ago I threw out some “hotass” keywords in a blatant ploy to drive traffic to the site, and to the best of my knowledge, 6 or 7 people were linked here after googling “camel toe”. This is hilarious – someone is sitting at his computer with his pants down ready for business time, and comes to FaF ready to get it on (with himself), and instead finds rants about golf, football, the University of Houston, but no pictures or even real mentions of camel toes. The person gets pissed and goes back to google empty-handed.
This has happened 6 or 7 times. God bless the interwebs.
You’re talking to the guy that invented the camel toe search gem on the site:

Don’t go back in time and steal my thunder like you’re Michael J. Fox in a Delorean. The past is the past. Leave it there.
here’s that word again; “heavy”. Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth’s gravitational pull?
