Random Rantings- Weekend Edition

I want out on a Friday, which I normally don't do, and today I can barely talk (these are unrelated) and here are my rantings:

• I was watching Sports Center this morning and half of the Top Ten plays were blacked out. Were there that few highlights yesterday, that they didn't have 10 great plays? Weird. (Update: it appears that the NBA season has started, and they probably had a few plays in the top ten.....whatever)
• I will say some people are quite creative with their Halloween costumes (and some are not). Last night I saw 5 people dressed and Pacman and 4 ghosts chasing them, quite good. Two dudes were dressed as Mario and Luigi, 2 dudes were dressed as Umpa-Lumpas from Willy Wonka, the band there were all dressed as famous musicians- Willy Nelson, Axl ROse, Buddy Holly, and Blues Brothers-. Then there were unoriginal costumes like the Joker (it's too obvious to dress like that, you should kill youself) and generic things like slutty nurse, slutty cop, slutty whatever.
• My new least favorite question people ask me is "What kind of music do you listen to? How do I answer that "A little bit of everything?" Or do I dumb it down for them so they know the bands I am mentioning like "Oh U2, Justin Timberlake, yadayadayada...." Or do I tell them a real answer like "Tv on the Radio, The Hold Steady, and Band of Horses." and then the idiot who asked me looks at me like I am crazy and I just made up all those bands. I went with the latter answer last night and both people did look at me like I just made up those names.
• Packers signed Aaron Rogers to a "Tony Rom0-like" contract. After 7 games, in which he won 4 games, and was hurt. Seems a bit premature. I don't want to hate on the guy but it is unprecident to see this happen, ever. I guarantee when this is all done in about 15 years it will come out that Ted Thompson is really Aaron Rogers' biological father, that is why he goes above and beyound for the QB.
• Next season's Brewers' season will be laid out in the next 30 days. If they don't get CC, they are done next year. If they sign him for the reported 4 year 100 million, they are done because they will have no money for Hardy, Hart, Gallardo, Parra or anyone else. They need to get him for about $18 mil a year for 3 years, that way it expires the year they need to resign Hart, Gallardom and Parra, then all you have to worry about the year before is Hardy.

That is all (for now) I am going to lie down again for a bit. Angry-dreaming, here I come.
