FWG bought the interns a Comfy Sack.  One decided to pen his thoughts:  COMFY SACKS ARE THE FREAKING BEST.
(Glad to see that journalism degree is paying off, Steve.)

Sunday’s are the best. No, c’mon now… don’t look ahead to Monday. Think about Sunday! It is the best day to hang, watch some football and throw a few back.

Now, think about this. You’ve got a fire lit in that fireplace of yours. You are watching your team on the tube – and you are chillen’ in one of the comfiest things ever created. But for real. They are that comfy.

In fact, I am actually writing this post right now from the bean bag chair that I have here at my house. I just sank and I think I’m stuck here for the day… and if you don’t hear from me… Well, you know where I am.

Comfy Sacks has changed my Sunday drastically. No, I’m not watching bowling on ESPN. Yes, that really is on. But, instead I can finally watch games in comfort. Let’s break this down for a minute here.

When I think of the word “comfy” – I think about my pajama’s, my slippers (yeah, I have slippers, what?) and most definitely my bed. Add this puppy to the list. I’m telling you, you won’t be able to get up.

Now, when I think of the word “sack” – I think about… Well, yeah you can’t be throwing that word around me like that.

As I sat in my bean bag, I was able to catch eight of 12 games that differed by a touchdown or less. That is pretty amazing if you think about it. And four of those nine were within a field goal.

Brett Favre finally won a game, the Eagles disappointed, and the Giants, despite boo’s from fans throughout the entire game, came out as winners. I think the New Meadowlands still has fans boo’ing, despite the win. Sheesh. C’mon guys.

11 weeks in, we’ve got some good races cooking and the final five weeks are going to be fun. So, might as well get on ComfySacks.com and find that perfect bean bag chair before the holiday!

I still haven’t moved after I finished that turkey. I may never get up.

 

Sit back this Thanksgiving and enjoy the company of friends and family, sit by the fire and enjoy a big fat turkey!

 

Hey folks, Kyle Lyddy here… Little guest appearance on the FWG blog. After all, I am a fat white guy myself. Not sure I could ever put the work in and get as ripped as our boy Rob Lunn, but maybe some day. Rob has told you about some of his Ted’s gatherings in Storrs. Let me share some of my thoughts.  After all,  I attended Ted’s Univer…I mean UConn for four years too.

Ted’s was my SPOT.  I enjoyed tucking myself in the corner of the bar where the window is, just in case one of those Jamison shots went down wrong - the window would have been conveniently located. I think I tried every little mixture those bartenders put together for me - creative, vibrant and strong drinks that got me crankin’ to the “Piano Man” blues. Yeah, you know… my karaoke song is Piano Man. That’s just what I sing and how I roll. Don’t judge. Not a head banger by any means, but hey a song that got the bar going a little bit. 

Tonight, you’ve got some serious stuff cooking. If you’re still in Storrs tonight, you’re a trooper. But, this is when the magic happens. Over break… in Storrs! There really should be a movie that is made about it – those who have lived it – know what goes down. Yeah yeah, you’re right. There isn’t much that goes down.

And, since our beloved bar is in fact closed tonight on this glorious Thanksgiving Eve, we hope that you can visit  the Ted’s website and tell your favorite bar story. 

Click HERE to sign the guestbook and share your most memorable Ted’s moment. And, if there was a password tonight – you better bet your bottoms, it would have been, yup, you got it… Piano Man.    

Enjoy your Thanksgiving. There are plenty of things we should all be thankful for. Enjoy your family and friends – and be appreciative of the little things. Oh yeah, and enjoy these match-ups.

Is Ochocinco ready for a little Thanksgiving Day feast in New York?

Bengals fans are flustered after Batman and Robin fail to produce again

 

Talk about a disappointing season… for the Bengals that is. Leading 31-14 at halftime, the Bengals were well on their way to their third win of the season. Or were they? Head Coach Chan Gailey led his Bills out of the locker room after halftime on Sunday, and whatever he said… certainly worked. The Bills outscored the Bengals 35-0 in the second half to beat the Bengals 49-31

Buffalo receiver Steve Johnson led the way for the thriving Bills, as he caught three touchdowns and had five other catches on the day totaling 137 yards.

After the game, Bengals receiver Terrell Owens said, “We are terrible.” No kidding. With tons of empty seats and even more boo’s, the Bengals fell into an even bigger blur this week falling at home to the now 2-8 Buffalo Bills – atrocious.

Ochocinco doesn’t care though – shoot. He got engaged this week to VH1 Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada. His mind is elsewhere. His overly active twitter account tweeted a few hours before the game:

“Getting ready to warm up for todays game by playing DANCE CENTRAL on 360 Kinect, don’t judge me this shh is a workout #justsaying” 

A few hours after the game… @Ochocinco was silent. 

The poor Bengals fans. As for the Bills – how about hat second half domination. A disappointing defensive effort in the first half, turned into a completely different game in the second half. Things are looking up! They play the 7-3 Steelers next week. Eeek.

BUT, the game is in Buffalo. And of course you know who is sponsoring the Bills coverage each week - you got it – Transit Towne - FWG’s only choice for buying cars in Western New York.

Sources confirm to UsMagazine.com that the singer, 30, became engaged to beau Eric Johnson [San Francisco 49-ers] on Thursday, just days after Us broke the news that her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, popped the question to Vanessa Minnillo, his love of nearly five years. Simpson and Lachey, 37, split in 2005, after three years of marriage. [MSNBC]

So just before she hits age 30, Jessica Simpson gains an NFL-star-studded fiance. And like thirty bills (yeah, yeah act like you didn’t notice)…at least we know this time it’s true love, right? Because if your guy can watch you slam buckets of  “sorry I don’t eat buffalo” wings til you look like you’ve applied lip plumper to your entire body, then it’s love.  Fa’sho.

Way to become the icon for every uber-feminist ever.  While the rest of us get our P90 on at 5am, treat yourself to another muffin top with a tall glass of “my man loves me for my personality”.

I’m all for working with what you got.  But if I have this:

…then you bet your daisy dukes that I’m hustling every. day. on the treadmill until my lungs bleed.

What’s up FWG NFL readers – this is The Rook.  And I can say this.  Cuz I’m a chick.

xoxo – The Rook
