I was going to wait until after the Divisional Playoff Round to post this.
We haven't had Random Thoughts in a while- plus, it's my 1000th post on here (but I still have some catching up to do with others).
1. The Jets-Chargers game was an absolute shocker for me in terms of how unlikely an upset this was. The last time I was this stunned about a non-Super Bowl playoff game- Jaguars 30, Broncos 27 in January 1997.
2. The Jets a win from the Super Bowl, Ohio State football ending their BCS woes (and the conference's as well), their basketball team beating a high-ranked Purdue team- Sandra's teams have been en fuego since she went to Cabo! I call this "The Reverse Tony Romo Situation." Going to Cabo didn't end well for him a few years back- but it sure has for Sandy so far.
3. After seeing all the key missed field goals these playoffs, I now understand why Adam Vinatieri was so crucial to the Patriots during their Super Bowl runs.
4. Brett Favre, that magnificent graybeard, is getting stronger down the stretch. He played well in the Bears' Monday Night game (defense let them down) and the regular-season finale against the Giants. Today- 4 touchdowns (an Al Bundy, as I like to call it).
5. The Saints-Cardinals game reminded me of the 2008 Texas Tech-Oklahoma two prolific offenses in a highly anticipated game, but turned out to be very lopsided.
6. Storylines for next week's conference title games- Saints-Vikings in the "Something has to Give game" where a team will make their first Super Bowl appearance ever or their first since 1977.
7. In the AFC- the now-infamous week 16 game (that helped the Jets get into the playoffs, where they have wreaked havoc) will be brought up ad nauseum. Also- will a team that "Defense Wins Championshipss" believers continue the trend or will the mold be broken?
8. After Arizona made it to the title game last year with a 9-7 record, I'm not shocked that history might repeats itself. (The team they beat to get there, Philly, was 9-6-1.)
9. The Chargers are starting to remind me of the Atlanta Braves of the 1990s.
10. Rex Ryan has walked the walk. This guy has done in one season that Mangini and Herman Edwards couldn't in 8 combined.
11. This is the first time the Jets won twice in the same postseason since 1982 (I know they reached an AFC Title game under Bill Parcells, but they were a #2 seed and had a first-round bye)
12. What do you think would be the best Super Bowl matchup?

Congratulations on 10K. I remember mine like it was just last year.

1. The Jets-Chargers game was an absolute shocker for me in terms of how unlikely an upset this was. The last time I was this stunned about a non-Super Bowl playoff game- Jaguars 30, Broncos 27 in January 1997.
Wow, you have some memory. How do you remember all these games?
2. The Jets a win from the Super Bowl, Ohio State football ending their BCS woes (and the conference's as well), their basketball team beating a high-ranked Purdue team- Sandra's teams have been en fuego since she went to Cabo! I call this "The Reverse Tony Romo Situation." Going to Cabo didn't end well for him a few years back- but it sure has for Sandy so far.
I agree with Jimbo, this is just going to have to be an annual pilgrimmage. Actually, my fiance has kept in touch with the Australian maniacs we watched the Buckeyes with and surfed with, something just tells me our next holiday vacation could be Down Under. (Cue the infantile jokes)
3. After seeing all the key missed field goals these playoffs, I now understand why Adam Vinatieri was so crucial to the Patriots during their Super Bowl runs.
Rex Ryan just huffs and puffs and blows those footballs wide!
4. Brett Favre, that magnificent graybeard, is getting stronger down the stretch. He played well in the Bears' Monday Night game (defense let them down) and the regular-season finale against the Giants. Today- 4 touchdowns (an Al Bundy, as I like to call it).
Haven't liked Favre since he started the Will I-Won't I thing every off season with the Packers, but I have to give him credit for playing very well.
5. The Saints-Cardinals game reminded me of the 2008 Texas Tech-Oklahoma two prolific offenses in a highly anticipated game, but turned out to be very lopsided.
Is that the Michael Crabtree game?
7. In the AFC- the now-infamous week 16 game (that helped the Jets get into the playoffs, where they have wreaked havoc) will be brought up ad nauseum. Also- will a team that "Defense Wins Championshipss" believers continue the trend or will the mold be broken?
The Colts have a very good defense too.
8. After Arizona made it to the title game last year with a 9-7 record, I'm not shocked that history might repeats itself. (The team they beat to get there, Philly, was 9-6-1.)
The Jets are 9-7 but other than that I don't see much connection. The Cardinals had a Hall of Fame QB and a normal coach, the Jets have a rookie QB and Rex Ryan.
9. The Chargers are starting to remind me of the Atlanta Braves of the 1990s.
That connection I do see.
10. Rex Ryan has walked the walk. This guy has done in one season that Mangini and Herman Edwards couldn't in 8 combined.
Annoy the crap out of the entire league...
But I agree although he talked the talk before he walked the walk...he did ultimately walk the walk.
12. What do you think would be the best Super Bowl matchup?
There are no bad matchups.
On one side you either have arguably the greatest QB of all time trying to cement that status, or an upstart team from New York that will draw comparisons to the Joe Namath Jets, since Buddy Ryan was an assistant for that team.
On the other side you either have media magnet Brett Favre or a team trying to put a ribbon on the city's comeback from Katrina.

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
So let the game continue!

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.
