Earworm

Got a case plus of mead bottled tonight.  Came out damn good, albeit a bit light in the alcohol (10%).  Great flavor.  The Ragin' Mrs. approves whole-heartedly.  Now I have to try to find that variety of honey again.  Maybe in the summer, when it's in season.

I've had this song in my head for the past two days.  You're welcome!



It's got enough of a Celtic lilt to it that I keep humming it around the house.

All those people wetting their diapers about Richard Sherman and his ten-second rant after he made the decisive play in the NFC Championship?

Get over it.

The guy was so hopped up on adrenaline that I doubt he could have given a calm interview if you paid him a million bucks.  On top of that, he'd just made a mad play against a player who had been yapping at him all night, and had gotten in his face at a charity event previously. If I had been in his shoes, you would have had to bleep out about half of the words coming out of my mouth. 

As for his claim to be the best cornerback in the NFL?  Well, let's see here....  exactly how many times did the Niners throw at his side that game?  Kapernick knows just how damn good Richard Sherman is, which is why he never challenged him until that last throw, and how did that work out?  Mmmm-KAY then!

I'm not going to be arrogant enough to claim that the Seahawks are going to win the Superbowl; Denver and Payton Manning are damn good, and they've got a lot of weapons.  Still, it's the #1 offense going against the #1 defense.  This is going to be a hell of a game.  And I don't know if Denver can shut down Seattle's run game.  The Niners had a much better run defense than Denver has, and Lynch eventually wore them down and got some big runs against them.

And don't be fooled by Russel Wilson's low passing yards - if Wilson had the kind of weapons that Payton Manning has, he'd be putting up 500 yards a game.  As it is, he's got decent receivers, and he's finding ways to get the ball in their hands.  That TD catch by Kearse, when he had a defender draped on him like a cheap suit?  Golden Tate's catches and kick returns?  They might not be All-Pro, but they don't need to be.  They just have to win games.  And the last time I checked, that's what they've been doing.
