This is the year for the Baltimore Ravens.  Eveything has fallen into place for them to get a top two seed in the AFC.  Their schedule is very favorable.  They are 4-1 and they have six pretty much guaranteed wins left on their schedule (@JAX, ARI, @SEA, CIN, IND, CLE).  That doesn’t even count @CLE, @CIN, SF (three more games they will be favored in by at least three points).  Welcome to 13-3.  Plus Ray Lewis’ steroids seem to be working great on Ed Reed this year.

The AFC East continues to belong to the New England Patriots who seem to mix it up every year and find new ways to win. The New York Jets are a huge disappointment, mainly because Mark Sanchez sucks. The Buffalo Bills have a nice offense, and I am glad that they are actually competitive this year. There has been speculation over the last couple years that Buffalo will lose its team, and they would move it to a much less deserving city like Los Angeles. On a scale of 1-10, L.A. is a 1 in sports fans. Talk about people who just don’t give a fuck about sports. People in Buffalo live and die by the Bills and Sabres. They still pack the Bills’ stadium when the team sucks and it’s the insanely cold outside. The Miami Dolphins have cool uniforms.

Hilarious clip of a good friend, Sean Flannery, doing part of his comedy show.

Check out his site World’s Dumbest Man and listen to him Weekdays from 3pm-4pm on Visitors Locker Room

I ran this adventure race called the Wild Scallion where you do all kinds of crazy shit around town with a team of 4 people.  Pretty fun, I signed up to do it with Bobby Ford and a couple other friends.  The gist of  the race is you run about 15 miles, Rollerblade, run some stairs, kayak, swim and bike all over town…  It sounds like a pain in the ass but it was actually pretty awesome, however; it also did become a literal pain in my ass.

Not sure why “Alex” isn’t an international superstar?

Smells, Policy and I went to an Irish bar here in Chicago last weekend.  We cozied up to a table next to the window, had a few beers and threw back more than a few shots of Tuaca.  After about at least four hours of “blades and bows” and “learn and do,” Policy asked “Is something burning?”
